If you sold something on CL and the buyer wants a refund, what would you do?

if it's an aftermarket head unit, tell the buyer to get a harness to fit his car.

He can relist it, he should have known better.

give him a refund, then kick his ass and take the money back. Now you have the stereo AND the cash. win win.

Th e OP's issue is a good lesson for users of craigslist. I sometimes wonder if any of the sellers have ever had a yard or garage sale or have been to a flea market. You have to learn how to deal... both buying and selling, but more importantly: learning how to deal with people.

Is this a joke?

No this is:
A horse walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Why the long face?"

I look at CL like a yard sale, once you walk away with the item it is yours for better or worse.

Background: I upgraded my uncle's car's stereo and pulled a working unit from his car. I listed it on CL and my dad sold it yesterday. Buyer informed my dad that the unit doesn't fit in his car (wrong plugs) and wants a refund. I'm inclined to tell him kindly that all sales are final and the unit is in very good cosmetic condition, works flawlessly and he is welcome to relist it on CL and sell it himself.

What do you think?

And yes the year + model of the car from which the stereo was pulled was listed in the post. I went on ebay to find the compatible years and listed them in the post.

No, no and no. Are you WalMart? Did you provide a guaranty?

You can't fix stupid. The buyer should have done his research before he purchased.

The problem with telling him to get a harness is then it turns you into tech support. I'd send a quick "no" and ignore him from then on.
