Default Problem on eBay!

So I recently sold my bike on eBay. I also sold all of my riding gear. I had a member submit an offer a little lower than I wanted to take, but said the jacket may or may not fit so he didnt want to do the full ammount. I think ya right your just trying to save some money. Im a nice guy, didnt need the money just dont want it taking up closet space.

I accept it, send the jacket receive positive feedback, go about my business. Well the jacket arrived a day ortwo before feedback was left for me. Now I get a message that reads something like this:

Hi, I left you + feedback but I found a rip in the jacket. I would not have payed 180.00 for it if I knew that. Im willing to take a partial refund and keep it to not have to ship it back. I can send photos for proof if you want.

At first I said send photos, but I messaged him back to just send the jacket back and I will cover the cost, and refund his full ammount.

I know that all my stuff was perfect I sold 5 jackets, and 5 Helmets, and 3 pairs of gloves. I inspect everything before I list it, then again before I ship it. I have 100% positive feedback since 2004.

So my crazy mind is thinking this guy cut my jacket (on purpose) gonna send me photos for a parital refund (of wwho knows how much) and then fix the cut and have a 275.00 jacket for like 75-100 dollars.

So my questions are:

Am I crazy for thinking this?
Has anyone heard of or saw a scam like this before?

Thanks!

P.S hope I did not just give some scrub an idea.
