£10 sounds like a reasonable price to send a suspect package though the post....
How about sending his box back empty, in a slightly bigger box of your own, & asking him for your deposit back?...you know like Corona did with old pop bottles

Re: OVERCHARGING ON POSTAGE ON EBAY
That's a good idea, the corona offer reminded me of a scam we used to pull when I was a boy, we would steal the empty corona bottles from around the back of the railway inn take them back in the pub and sell them back to the landlord for ten pence a bottle, he never checked to see how many he had so round and round it went untill we got caught one day, but £2.50 a week when your 9 years old is awesome,

lol..you guys make me laugh.
Its a lost cause, im going to update his feedback now. Nothing nasty just a warning to others, that hes a complete idiot.
The one thing with the box that doesnt quite work is, if it was re-cycled it must have been sent to him....which meant someone else paid for it. Now maybe he bought it, sent something to someone, and that person then sent it on to someone else, and it eventually got back round to him, would mean hes already charged someone for the box, so hes charging twice for it.
Phew...lol.
Oh well, lesson learnt. Look at the postage costs first, decide the sellers a twat, and dont buy.

Send another box to him with a couple of bricks in it, no postage and no return address. Royal Mail will charge him for delivery, or atleast try
