Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 05-06-2012
So basically i recently listed my mobile phone on ebay and a user contacted me and asked to cancel the auction and they would paypal me 100 quid.
I took the offer and cancelled my listing, the user sent me the money and i sent the item a couple of days later.
when the item arrived the user then cancelled the paypal payment and also has the item.
I just contacted them and they are asking me to pay for a new battery cover because it "doesnt fit" even though it fit perfectly for the year i had it....
so in final, they are refusing to send me the money again unless i buy a new cover for them, WTF
So my paypal is in -£96 and im without a phone, where the f*ck do i stand?!
Re: Am i in the right or?... - ginge191 - 05-06-2012
open paypal dispute, contact ebay, OR get him to return the item - NEVER cancel an ebay listing if you have it up for aution, or set a respectable BIN price.
Get the item back, accept you maybe £5-£10 down and learn from your mistake mate.
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 05-06-2012
cheers mate, definitely learned my lesson from this...
They even got the item for less than the BIN price by like £50!
Only reason i let it go was because they said they needed a phone quick and didnt have alot of money, teaches me for being nice i suppose

Lol if you needed a quick sale, set a lower BIN price
Open up as many disputes as possible mate, the buyer will soon buck up... send him a message telling him what you're doing, give him a respectable time scale to return the item to you as the money has already been returned.
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 05-06-2012
No i let it go because they didnt have a lot of money

lol never feel kind for someone you dont know, i wouldnt worry mate, it has happened to me before and you feel like a mug...
Don't worry, ebay and paypal can sort it out - if he ever wants to use ebay again, he'll do whats right
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 05-06-2012
cheers bud, giving me hope! had a horrible feeling i would of been out of pocket and out of a phone
Re: Am i in the right or?... - Dum-Dum - 05-06-2012
You still got the address you sent the phone to?
Maybe someone you trust off here would be nice enough to pop round and get it back for you.

As above really only certain people I would do that for, where is he?
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 05-06-2012
bit of an update, he is now saying he will pay me back the money -£15 so he can use it to buy a new case for the phone, wtf! im not having that, have escalated it into a full paypal dispute now so if that gets no where i will post his full address.
Cheers for all the help guys

Re: Am i in the right or?... - 4WayDiablo - 05-06-2012

Re: Am i in the right or?... - Eeyore - 05-06-2012

Yeh dispute it. No way you should be paying for some shoddy case which was fine when you had it! Guy is obviously a mug!

Hope you sent it recorded delivery at the least !!!

eBay are lady gardens for siding with the buyer

People always try it. Don't be nice to anyone. They'll never return the favor. I sold a laptop to someone and he was moaning they was a rubber foot missing. Twats.
Re: Am i in the right or?... - kingy - 05-06-2012
i had a dispute opened against me from a volume button that didnt work on a car stereo i sold, turns out he was turning the wrong button.
i didnt laugh at him......... MUCH.
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 05-06-2012
yeah i have a few pictures of it, have the tracking number and everything.
give an inch and they take a f*cking mile
Re: Am i in the right or?... - ginge191 - 05-06-2012
Dec, you've done it all right mate... Don't take less than you want. He's budging slowly
Re: Am i in the right or?... - puglove - 05-06-2012
What a fecker, dont think there is anything wrong with the phone mate, think he is trying his luck! hope it works out for you
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 06-06-2012
update! they are now demanding that i refund them another £20 so that they can buy another battery cover, surely a battery cover costs less than £20? so in effect i would of sold a phone for £70 that was worth way more.
Fed up of people like this, posting full address if not sorted by end of the day! f*cking ridiculous!!!

Sounds like they are being complete bell ends mate. If eBay doesn't sort it, you should definitely go there and sort it in person. Either that or get them to post the phone back if they're not happy with it.
Re: Am i in the right or?... - declantg - 06-06-2012
My response to the dispute...
"Item has been received and user is saying that battery cover does not fit, which it does fit as i owned the phone myself before hand.
Also requesting £20 back from me for a new back case but i have found them online for way cheaper.
Example;
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Back-Cover-Ba ... B004YXKW52
http://www.iphonepartssale.com/product_ ... ts_id=1232
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sis.html?_nkw ... 0385786937
The second one even comes with a second battery and posted for less than £20."
Fair?!?
Re: Am i in the right or?... - C.A.R. - 06-06-2012
I wouldn't even honour it with a reply mate, it shouldn't be costing you any more time / money.
Either he pays in full or returns the item as it was before. If not it will need to be alleviated from him by one of the local members.
If it is Luton, that's only 20 minutes away...
Re: Am i in the right or?... - Ben Jay - 06-06-2012
like i said...im in luton right now...have to go through luton to get home...stick a post code up!
Re: Am i in the right or?... - 4WayDiablo - 06-06-2012
I think you'll need more than just a postcode ben! Lol
Re: Am i in the right or?... - Ben Jay - 06-06-2012
well just so i know where it is from where i am! he doesnt want to put the full address up until later
Re: Am i in the right or?... - Poodle - 06-06-2012
Haha, you don't need more than a post code, just drive to centre of postcode and tell him to look out the window for a 306 and that it'll be back in 2 hours if he doesn't sort his life out...
