I recently made an ebay purchase while trying to quickly pick up a quick spare vv battery mod from a supposed proud authentic re-seller.
Ebay reimbursed my money for the fake item as it arrived way under spec (L x W)... pretty weird I thought but very annoying as it wasted my time and energy.

Should I leave negative feedback?

As an entrepreneur myself I figure his business will hurt regardless from other unhappy customers.

I look at it this way, negative feedback isn't to hurt the seller, it's to help other buyers make a decision.

If you're going to leave negative feedback, though, be specific about the issues. Those "this buyer sux" reviews are useless IMO.

Hmmm, that was good advice.

I wish I waited to hear your guys feedback.

I guess I left negative feedback with the wrong idea and maybe feel like an ....
Only because I saw other complaints about his Kamry stuff:

I wrote, "Its apparent other Kamry items he's sold were not authentic either."

(I can be pessimistic and skeptical of others... i'm working on it).

His item was too small according to spec and during the dispute he told me without a name he was the Lead Designer of Kamry products and was willing to email me a certificate of authenticity regarding his seller status.

While he never explained the shortcoming... so it was kind of odd all around.

This is why I wouldn't order this stuff off ebay. That said yes I would leave negative feedback. As detailed as possible. I have had a few sellers on amazon get mad at me for this but I am honest with my feedback. I want to help other buyers to be aware of what happened and what could happen to them with a certain seller.
