1) You MUST return the item before you can get your money back. If you don't, your claim is invalidated
2) consider to return it via a signed for service
My reasoning is as follows....
If this guy IS a shyster, he may claim he never received the item back or that you shipped him an empty box. (I have packed items in front of my local postal employee when I have worried about things like this)
I would never have bid on this razor past the value of scales. I suspect that he knew all along.
I know you don't want to eat the shipping, and I sort of agree with you, but it may just be the simplest solution and a lesson learned.
