He didn’t post all of the conversation. He 100% knew about the JB weld on the front fairing. He confirms it here.

To your point, this is the only evidence you will need to present to PayPal because it did seem like these issues were pretty obvious for the seller to have noticed. If there was no JB weld, seller should have immediately said "That's not true! There was no welding on the parts." But from the screenshots, seller does say "I wasn't aware..."
Lol for me, when I'm buying used parts from a stranger online I make sure I do my due diligence and do a little "Google PI" on the person.
Here's an idea. Between you 2, seller why not accept to see more pictures of all the damaged parts from the buyer. If you see things that are clearly damaged either from your packaging or may not have been aware of, then accept a return. ESPECIALLY if the box you sent the buyer to wasn't a 50" box like you stated. Buyer, if seller accepts damages, then pay for the return shipping yourself. This way you'll only take a little hit on shipping charges, but you won't lose all of your money. And buyer will get parts back, maybe have them fixed, then can re-sell in better condition(s).
I'm starting to have the feeling that seller should be okay with this. Most people that are parting out the bikes due to some type of accident have more than likely gotten a check from their insurance already. Purchased the bike back for a small fraction of the cost, and are now selling the additional parts for profit. A v4 S is a newer machine, and I'm sure the insurance gave back a sweet offer. I could be wrong here, but I don't have the time to research why the seller is putting up his OEM parts for sale.
