Not sure what to do here, advice appreciated

On August 1, I made a cash offer on a bunch of Warmachine models from another trader to the amount of $250. He counter offered that I pay shipping, which he said would be $20, and that he would refund any excess money to me if shipping was less than $20.
I agreed to these terms and paid via Paypal within a couple of hours to the email address he provided. He said he would try and get the models out on Saturday as August 1 was a Friday.
Three days later, on Monday, I PMed him asking if the models had been sent. Before I received a reply from him, the models got to me. Several of them had broken parts, and I was missing stat cards for every single model, and pieces of 3 models. I PMed him asking him to send out the remaining cards and missing model pieces. I also noted that he'd used a flat rate priority box and that he said he would refund me excess money (it would have been about $7)
He replied telling me that he had only received $262 from me (Paypal taking its cut) and would not be willing to refund me money. While I was a little annoyed by this, I just wanted my cards to go with my models and told him I'd be okay with him just sending me the cards and missing pieces.
Four days later I PM him again asking if he has shipped the cards, and I don't get a reply despite his reading the PM. Four days after that I PM him again asking for confirmation that he has shipped the cards. He replied later that day and told me that his wife said she had shipped the cards in an envelope.
Today I got the envelope in question, and once again there are a pair of cards missing. I have PMed him again asking for either cards or sufficient paypal to cover ordering new ones, but at this point I feel like leaving good feedback when everything is finally said and done with would be misleading to other potential traders.
SO! The question is then, am I in the right by leaving negative feedback here? I know that this is basically over ~$10 and a couple of cards, but it's been 10 days since I asked for original shipping of the cards and the ones he sent were still incomplete. I would not trade with this person again.
I really appreciate any advice and feedback. Thanks!
