Woman sells antique violin via Paypal for $2500.

Buyer receives violin and questions its authenticity and wants a refund. Seller says that the violin has been appraised properly but agrees to the refund.

According to Paypal, however, this means the violin is counterfeit and demands that the violin be destroyed and proof provided.

Buyer destroys the violin and shows a pic of shattered violin and receives his refund.

Seller is left with nothing.
