Should I pay back 7833Stevens after the item arrived?

[racercinema45]

I am from Canada and I got a refund from a bag of Doritos Fiery Mango chips from the International shipping program. I messaged the seller about paying him back. But, he hasn't responded to me yet. Should I pay back the seller after the item arrives late? It was supposed to arrive on May 9. But, it actually arrived on May 23 and the tracking information is wrong. And, I don't want to spend the extra money to ship it back. So, I want to be able to pay the seller for the item that I was refunded.

Once an item is accepted at the eBay International Shipping hub in Illinois, the seller’s responsibility for the safe passage of the item ends. The refund for your item should have come from eBay, not the seller.

Unless the seller was using eBay International Standard Delivery, which is an older program with fewer seller protections.

The seller's responsibility for delivery ended when your chips were accepted at the eIS plant in Illinois.

He is not out a penny.

The refund came from eIS (or more precisely their insurance company) when they did not fulfill their contract with the seller and with you to deliver on time.

Enjoy your chips.

Have a glass of milk with them, for the sake of your tummy.
