From a buyers standpoint I would be pissed about receiving a sick dragon, and lack of help with a respiratory infection. This is something if caught early enough just increasing temps(day and night) and really checking your temps/setup could help. If this was a breeder, I would have expected at least this basic help/suggestions.

From a sellers standpoint if you did not communicate this with the seller wanting them to cover vet fees, how can you expect them to just pay out for that? Really should be made clear beforehand. I have had situations similar.....reptiles, dogs, and communication has to take place as to what both parties want/expect.

Aside from that, shipping a dragon should not cause a problem such as a respiratory infection if packaged right. Sounds like the packaging should have been fine(whether you like boxes/bags/cups whatever...it was insulated and had a heat pack so it really does sound like something that happened before the shipping took place(or at least started).

Its really a crappy deal, hopefully some type of resolution can be worked out.
