A nice little threat. What would you fine people do?

I sold a used working landline phone on January 22. Today I recieved this messege.

My response was:

And I would love to help but i don't take kindly to threats. I am a reputable seller as I have over 900 positive feedbacks. So do you really think I would put that at risk over 40 dollars? I sell lots of phones and test them all out and clean them with antiseptic wipes and detail them the best that I can. I doubt many sellers do that.

I am not sure why you waited so long to contact me and then come at me with accusations and threats. You catch more fly’s with honey...

So I have a few questions as I have never been in this situation. (1) would you refund the buyer? -- Even though the case was closed?  (2) Does this threat of "warning other buyers" hold any water? In other words should I be worried? And can they have ebay do something to my account? 

I try to run an honest buisness and I would really appreciate feedback so that I can take care of this situation and not worry about this anymore.

Thank you all.

My interpretation of the word political was to play the game and go along with the buyer. Pretty close to professional IMHO.

Buyer possibly is aware how waiting so long may damage his case, so he came out swinging.  They say, the best defense is a good offense.

Sorry you are going through this, but you will get through it!
