The ebay policy about refusing delivery i think deals with the fact that some people change their minds and use that as a way to cancel their purchase and try to get their money back. Hopefully in this case, they'll take into account that it was refused due to damage and I took pictures to prove it. We'll see how that works out. But once the "ebay buyer protection" is settled and if it doesn't work out for me, I should still be able to go through the paypal resolution process then. I used a debit card i have attached to paypal for the transaction and I couldnt find much info about disputing charges on that website just yet, but I'm sure theres something I can do.

From what i've seemed to find out so far, the name that i have is actually the father and he's 51 years old. the "kid" appears to be late teens maybe early 20's and just using the fathers ebay account and the fathers bank info for the paypal verification.
The father has a lawn care business which the mother also is listed with. I also have records for other children and relatives. During the week I may just call the Father since i have a home and a cell number I managed to acquire(no thanks to ebay or paypal) and I'll ask if he owns the camaro or if its his sons car. If it is him, thats fine, but if its his sons... I'm sure he'll love to hear that he owes me a bunch of money. I ultimately figure, worse case scenario... i'll have a bunch of camaro parts to sell.

In regards to shipping/packaging, I've sold hundreds of items on ebay and automotive forums, ive even shipped window glass without any issues. Any package I ship can be abused to no end by UPS and I know for a fact that it will be fine. I also prefer to deliver items if possible just to avoid any concerns over shipping damages.
