Possible Scammer...Need Advice

I sold a perfectly working AMD combo to a member. $225 Shipped. It worked 100% and I removed the hardware at a grounded tech bench. I have pictures of the hardware working and 2 other technicians that can attest to it working.

This person has said they will be filing a paypal claim against be because of a "blown diode". I installed a Northbridge fan on this motherboard 1 month before sale, and I inspected it before packaging it to ship. I used the setup for almost 2 years and NEVER had a problem.


What can I do?
 
He sent me a picture of the diode. There is no way I missed that.

He also took 10 days after receiving the item, AFTER POSTING POSITIVE HEAT, that it had a blown diode.

He then said he would test it to see what function was gone. He then messages me and says "it doesnt post at all".

I used the hardware for almost 2 years. Never a problem, never an issue. Diodes DO NOT blow during shipment.

He claims I guarenteed the hardware would work upon arrival. Which I did. But The diode did not blow on its own.
 
Tell him to ship it back to you and upon testing, you'll refund his money if it's bad. If it's not bad, you'll ship it back to him.
 
The thing is, it shipped out fine. And as I said Diode's do not blow during shipment.

Why should I take the hit on something he possibly did? He is saying he did not, but I am 90-100% sure that diode was not blown.
 
Paypal Already closed the case. I provided pictures of that diode the day before shipment without the blown diode and the proper tracking information.
