If you feel you must pay, why not compromise and pay $75???
An interesting thought.
As mentioned, I believe the buyer is lying and trying to get his/her money back. Therefore, if I were the seller, I'd be loathe to refund anything.
But it might be an interesting exercise to inquire if a $75 compromise would be acceptable to the buyer. The buyer's response to compromise might provide an indication of his truthfulness. My guess is that he would "reluctantly" but very quickly accept the offer.
Paying in the face of proof of delivery seems to me to be a bad business practice. Either you then pay every such claim even though you have proof to the contrary, or you end up trying to decide if the claim is legitimate.
