Like everyone else said you should have never agreed to pay to ship it back. Going the PayPal route would be useless. In all my experiences with PayPal outside of Ebay on site's that aren't covered by Buyer Protection they normally won't rule in your favor unless they aren't supplied with a valid tracking number or you received the wrong item. Other then that they normally won't do anything for a item not as described claim without it being under the buyer protection. What I would do is tell him the batteries bad and it can't be fixed and you just take it to have it disposed of and keep the cash. That way he doesn't have to send you any extra money and you can call this transaction a wash.
