Another Fuc*ing Ebay Buyer............

[paul26982]

Sold a computer game brand new about 2 month ago now, got what it was worth, listed and described very well, i get a Email 1 month after it was shipped and payed for say' Hi there, sorry to be a pain but would you mind refunding me as the game wont work, i have a PAL system (english/european) and i didnt relise that in the listing it stated it was a NTSC (US) version, its ok if you wont as it was my fault' So i replied NO, i wont sorry, its your job to know what you bidding on etc and should have read the description properly, Now 10 minutes ago and 2 months down the line, he's left negative feedback saying the game wasnt as described and does not work, Im so fked off, 2 stty negative feedback this last month for nothing now!

I know how that feels! I have really fallen out with Ebay over the last year or so and barely use it these days, it's rare I find a bargain on there anyway, and having to trade with idiots and scammers really puts me off.

send an email to ebay, ive had problems with feedback before and after a few emails they sort everything out.
send them the reply from the buyer aswell.

sadly dont have that, deleted it, going back on to see if i can dig it out,

[paul26982]

theres no way of getting a deleted message from what i can see

If you replied to him, check your sent messages, Its often where the interesting stuff ends up, and it never gets emptied!

By me anyway..

Ebay is swiftly turning to st. I've had all sorts of problems on there with people messing me around months after I dispatched them.

Ebay has been crap for a long time. It is no longer about ordinary folk selling their tat it is just a huge online market place for tat at the same price you can buy it in shops on the high street.

Anything on their that looks too good to be true is.

[paul26982]

ive found my replie to the message i need but nothing of what the buyer had said to me

[The Riddler]

Unlucky, Hope you get it sorted.

[paul26982]

hope so, just need to get rid of some car parts then im finished with the place

If you have his address then wrap up a turd and send it to him....tell him to play with that....

Works both ways though.

I bought a PC from a guy, who I found out after the auction had ended wasn't in the country.

Ended up collecting a box of bits off his brother who didn't know what was in the auction. Got home to find the power cable and HDMI lead were missing. Now fair enough I probably should have checked but kinda hoped it would all be ready to collect, as it would have to be boxed if it had been posted.

Anyway....

It was sold as "not detecting SATA drives" so I thought I'd take a punt and see if I could fix it.

Turned out the muppet had shorted the MB out with the case screws and cut the power to the SATA ports. Still soldering iron out and it was repaired.

What really narked me was that it had a high end graphics card and a decent DVD drive that I effectively constructed my bid limit on, only to find that both of these were shot when I got home.

I checked the graphics card as soon as I powered it up and also after the MB was repaired and it showed the same fault. I've since bought a new Graphics card and this is fine so it was obviously faulty when he had it.

So, I tapped him up for a bit of a refund, nothing much just 50% of the replacement costs of the parts (£50) which I thought was fair enough. Now the bloke has said stick it, you must have broken them.

So, I'm now awaiting a Paypal claim.......

Paypal wont give partial refunds. They also wont give a refund unless you say you didn't recieve the item. If you recieved it and have said you did, they will refer you to go through Ebay.

Had something similar with a car I sold. The head gasket went a few weeks after I sold it (It was a Rover Coupe, buyer should have expected it) and he threw a wobbly saying I broke it before I sold it (although he drove it home and around for 3 weeks before it died) and that it wasnt as described.

The guy paid £200 via paypal and the rest in cash. I refused to refund any money and so he decided to try and get the paypal deposit back. He told them in the dispute that the car wasn't as described and they told him it needed to be sorted through ebay as he recieved the item and that paypal cannot refund funds based on the item description.

Are you sure, there's even a tick box on the dispute form to select partial refund and teh amount you want.

They can't refund an amount if he only paid a deposit through Paypal, however you are protected by Paypals "buyer protection" if you pay the whole amount via them.

Ive been screwed over more times than I care to imagine. Most notable was when a friend sold a watch, buyer said not as described and that he would send it back. Sent a replica back. Proof of postage. Paypal froze his account and paid the money back.
