Does interest push it over?

no sadly not, it's been around 12 months so would only put it up to £648

OP could the person asking actually lay claim to the goods that they sold on your behalf.

well I have details of the ebay auction and unless she can prove she can play the guitar then I'm not sure she could!

However I want to rule out all possible chances of it failing so good call, I'm not certain it could be proved 100%

Civil court judgement is on the balance of probabilities rather than beyond reasonable doubt, so IMO you are sitting pretty. Did you get a screen grab of the ebay ad by any chance, and did it say "selling on behalf of a friend" on it?

not got a screenshot but have the ebay auction number which I suppose could be used to get the details if needed. I also have copies of the emails between myself and the buyer when they were asking questions about the item

Statutory Demand. Google is your friend.

Heh! With a £600 debt? I don't think that'll fly.

Soov has been on the Christmas cooking sherry, as in addition to the debt being too small, a stat demand isn't supposed to be used in place of a court claim.

Soov, leave some for the trifle, will ya?

He still trots out 'obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception' now and again - betraying his age...;)

A plague on you young whippersnappers with your more recent legal education!
