Chris,
It is a bandwagon that you should have steered clear of if you weren't comfortable with it. Bottom line to me is:
Money sent, hood not shipped, mouse out $25.00.
mouses failing to check out the escrow service should not have been a factor in your decision to make the deposit, you should have checked the ramifications should the deal fall through. You need to stand firm and stick to your policy of taking payment as you described you would to avoid these situations.
Like I said before, I think both of you are good guys, lets don't let this very, very inexpensive deal let it ruin either of y'alls reputations.

AND if this was a company he knew something about he would have known about the fee not going to be refunded. im not cool with that at all. thats B>S> for a company to hold money on a transaction and it cancels and they keep part of it. for doing nothing except holding the money. he wants the 25.00 he will have to send me his address i have deleted all this after i posted it here
