Purchased "like new, perfect condition" car parts. Received junk.

I purchased some cylinder heads and cams off a forum. I paid with paypal.Parts were advertised as being like new, zero issues, low miles, no problems. etc.I had them sent directly to a shop building a motor for me.They were checked and turned out to be damaged.  Seller is accusing me of trying to send back different parts than what he sold me. Also insists the parts he sent were not damaged. Seller wants me to ship them back so they can look at them, which I'll gladly do. Is there any way, after I ship them back, the seller can claim they aren't what he sold me? Like that I swapped them or sent different parts back? (there are casting numbers on the heads and cams to verify same parts)Shipping both ways and paying for inspection is $500 at least so far. I don't want to end up not getting refunded. Do I need to somehow prove myself to not lose out on this?We are in a dispute, but not yet a claim. I don't want to do anything I shouldn't.Very expensive parts that are utterly useless to me due to unadvertised damage.

Tricky one. If you send them back and the seller refuses to refund you saying you have switched etc then you would have to escalate to a claim. BUT BE CAREFUL AS YOU ONLY HAVE 20 DAYS TO ESCALATE AND IF HE TAKES HIS TIME THE DISPUTE MAY TIME OUT. Once escalated I can't second guess paypal but "normally" they tend to find in favour of the buyer BUT the buyer has to send the items back trackable to the seller to prove delivery before getting a refund. BUT the seller can appeal and say you did not send the correct items back etc and then it is up to paypal to make the final decision and no way can i advise you which way they will jump. My only hope is that you funded your paypal payment via a credit card so that if the dispute fails you can chargeback via your card issuer. Good luck.         *************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.
