I thought I was the only one that was confused - if the money was refunded and the seller stated they wanted the item returned, but the OP gave the item as a "gift?" Is that what happened?
If the above is correct, that the OP did not return it, but gave it as a gift after the refund, why would the OP not return the money?
Maybe my confusion is from lack of sleep, so maybe I should take nap?
The way I understand it, the OP bought and paid for the item. The OP gave the purchased item as a gift to someone not involved in the original transaction. A month after the original transaction, the seller refunds the OP's money and wants the item back. If my understanding of the situation is correct, the original seller has no claim on the item and was foolish to send the OP money.
If the original seller wants the item back, he would have to purchase it from the present owner, at a price that person was willing to take for it, if that person was willing to sell. Of course, the OP is under no obligation to furnish the original seller with the identity of the person to whom he gifted the item.
With regard to the money sent to the OP as a refund, I would probably simply send it back, but I don't believe the OP is legally obligated to do that.
Personally, it sounds like the original seller discovered something about the item that makes them think that its value is quite a bit higher than they originally thought. It is possible that the OP gave a nicer gift to the person than they had thought.
