If you knew about the battery issue before you bid, then your complaint really comes down to a matter of $15 and local pickup. Are you really willing to risk receiving retaliatory feedback over $15?
Chalk it up to experience and move on.
I've had considerably worse experiences (two semi-working PowerBook G4s and $700+ risked in a gamble that ultimately left me totally exposed - thankfully the seller refunded my money after much discussion). That the seller won't allow local pickup after he said he would is crappy, and that he wanted to charge you $5 to do nothing but answer the door is equally dumb. I fully support you in your right to complain, but in the end I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Peace,
Drew
