Do I have a fraud risk?

I just sold a 1950 proof set on eBay. I posted an obverse and reverse picture of each coin and offered to provide more pictures upon request. I had a buyer email me asking for pictures and information about the holder the set came in. This seemed like an odd request, especially since I described the holder in the listing, but I didn't think much of it and sent him a picture. That buyer just emailed me again to say that four of the coins "don't look like proofs" and asking for a refund. Do I need to be concerned about him switching out the coins, or do I just have an idiot buyer who didn't look at the pictures and was expecting cameos? I'm not sure how to respond to this buyer.

<< <i>Some 1950 proofs have more of a satin look than a brilliant mirrored finish. Maybe this is the case and it's a buyer who's unaware of the different looks of early 1950s proof coins. Do you have pics or a link to the auction? >>
You can explain this to the buyer and perhaps educate him. Also, add that if he's still unhappy that you'll be happy to accept a return.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
