Not that I agree with the warranty issue, but I think the guy who sold you the pump should be handling the warranty, not yourself. He should be giving you your money back and dealing with this. Seems you'r being way too nice and doing his work for him.
At least that's the way I have done it when reselling something. I once bought a DVD set brand new in the package(actually my wife did), never used it then resold it unopened. My buyer opened it brand new and said a disc wouldn't play, so I gave her a full refund and paid her to ship it back. That's customer service.
In this scenario, it's no different than buying a new unopened item from an ebay seller and blaming the original seller your seller bought it from. Your transaction was with your seller, you should deal with him. Then he should deal with DD if he is not happy.
DD have always been really nice folks in my experience. While I never had to do any returns, they have always been really nice to work with. They helped sponsor several of my tests, gave me radiators like my HWlabs 480GTX for nothing more than a nice "Good work testing, appreciate what you do". Not many vendors were anywhere near as nice, actually many of them have "Borrowed" my testing results as a selling point and never even asked
Not DD, they have been more than nice at least from a testing standpoint.
I would suggest asking your seller to do the right thing and eat the sale. That's the way reselling "Should" work.. Hopefully, he'll do what's right.
