Do I need to return the purchase to the sender from Ebay if the money for the purchase was paid to him by insurance?

Question

ebay

The situation is this: I bought a laptop on ebay at a price of around 1k. Decided to order through shopfans. I bought it, indicated the address of the warehouse in America, the seller sent it, gave me a track number. The number started to track, but the status was frozen (it was in the mail somewhere). There was no news for about 20 days, as a result, I first wrote to the seller to solve the problem myself, without the intervention of ebay. The seller began to deal with the mail, where he was told that the package was lost. Then he told me that the parcel was insured and he received money for it - on the same day he returned it to me. At this time, I ordered another laptop for myself with this money.
A week later, somewhere, the status of the first laptop began to change - I arrived at the warehouse in shopfans. Well, I thought, I was lucky))) I got the laptop) sent it to myself in Belarus, after getting rid of the packaging of the laptop (I always do this to repackage with the shopfans service). When the parcel was almost in Belarus, the seller wrote to me demanding to return the parcel.
So the following questions arise:
1) should I return the package
2) should the seller return the shipping amount from the USA to Belarus and from Belarus to the USA if I send the package back?
3) does he have the right to demand that if he received insurance for this incident, this should probably be done by the post office or insurance?
in all honesty - I would have returned his laptop to him if he was still in stock in America, but about $ 100 came out for delivery only to Belarus.

Answer 1

Are you asking the community to play the role of either conscience or greed?
Well, then I'm for conscience. Return the laptop. And at the expense of the costs incurred, you yourself are to blame, you should have asked your conscience first, and only then listened to greed.

Answer 2

I had a similar story only with a T-shirt, they sent the wrong T-shirt, I agreed to send it back, but they sent another one, sent it, I call, the manager says that the T-shirt has arrived and now he will send another one. Another T-shirt came, and a month later the first one, they say, did not find the specified address. Greed won.)

What do you recommend?

Contact the supplier or integrator for the calculation of the complete set / configuration.
If you do everything "wisely", then you need to take into account a lot of things so as not to overpay where you don't need it and take it with a margin where you need it. It's not for you to take a personal employee on the basis of "Ahh, I'll take ah seven, it will suddenly come in handy."
