If he "does a lot on FM" and he has a really, really solid reps (say, 100+ trades with positive and no negative, and the references look OK when you read them), then I would be a little more relaxed in dealing with him. Anything less than that, and I would be very, very cautious.
Another way to look at it -- if he (not you) offered gift, then that's his issue. He needs to refund first, and if he doesn't trust you, then he shouldn't have done gift.
Last thought -- I would be careful on the discount if he has limited or no feedback. He could be working a different scam -- discount for gift, and then discount for complaining. Did he show you proof of the serial numbers? Is it possible (in your thinking) that this could be true? Did you record the serial number for your records? Did you buy this lens used, and never checked the box and lens yourself? Check your gear before sending! If he has a lot of stock, he could send you a picture (or return a lens to you) from any old lens.
Another thought -- if you bought a lens in a store, would you be able to get your money back before you return the item? No.
First question , though, is -- what is his feedback profile?

He has over 100 positive feedback on FM B&S board. Due to his feedback on FM, I don't see any problems with accept his form of payment "Paypal Gift". I do have pictures of my lens with serial number on Nikon warranty paper (USA models). I did not take picture of the box so I do not know what outside the box.
