Am I being unreasonable?

glad you got a refund

sucks about not getting the return postage

I'm with sporky and icbm (and everyone else, really)- you might as well try to get the postage back, and don't leave feedback until the last possible moment.

Sporky

The only thing I'd add is that if he does refund your costs to return it (which he absolutely should) then don't leave negative feedback. Not because he'll have made everything OK (he'll still be a twit at best and a scumbag at worst) but because if you get all your money back and still leave negative feedback, the next time he does it he'll assume he's getting negative feedback anyway and definitely won't refund that return postage.

'Course, I could be over-thinking this.

I think you are right and the thought had already occurred to me. 

Sporky

If he doesn't give you the shipping money back, though, negative the crap out of him.

That's true. It's probably neutral for "finally got my money back after a long tortuous process" and negative for "wouldn't refund return shipping".

On the other hand, not leaving a negative might make people think he's ok to deal with.

Though from what I remember, when a similar thing happened to me, I just never bothered leaving feedback. I was relieved enough to just get shot of the whole thing, I didn't want to stir it up again.

Toss-up between a LOL and a facepalm there Bertie, but I'll give you the b of the d on this occasion.
