Sold a phone the other week, described to the seller that it has minor scuffs to corners, he still bought it. He didn't ask for photos.

He's now opened a Paypal dispute unhappy with the condition, and says it has missing items. Granted, I forgot to include the charger and the software cd (lol) but I've offered to send those up to him immediately, free of charge.

There is no way he wins this dispute, amirite?

sure you sent a phone and not a house brick?

I know, it's ridiculous. No idea how I forgot, but I did. As I say, I've offered to send it straight up to him.

Funny thing is, I was very close to giving him a refund before he opened the dispute. I hoped I'd fobbed him off with my first reply, but if he insisted on a refund I'd probably have given it. He can do one now :^0

If he wins, will it harm your standing?

If so, it might be worth giving him a refund.
Report WELSHIE1 • January 12, 2010 2:57 PM GMT
the buyer is always right
paypal will ask him to send the pile of shiittee back to you
for a full refund
in the meantime paypal will hold the money

No .. you're meant to put them up for free :|

Incase I'm mistaken, a camera on a phone cannot take a picture of itself. I have no other camera, therefore I just put a stock photo up.

Hoss, not really. I'm 100% over 180 transactions or so, but don't use Ebay enough to care about a neg.

Impossible to take a picture in enough detail to see the scuffs from a mirror imo

selling on ebay is a total facking nitemare. sold a load of watches before christmas. out of 8, 2 have had complaints, with punters asking for refunds.

1. nice watch that was 'asnew'. its never ben worn and was effectively brand new. it arrived with a slight dent in the box (thanks to royal mail) and the tiniest mark (it took us nearly 10 minutes to find it). the bloke set up the dispute and said 'send em back the money and i'll return the watch'. so i said 'why dont u send me the watch and i'll refund the cash when i get it'. he wouldnt do that and i had a 10 day wait for the watch to get back here.

2. watch was again as new. the buyer said it was marked and that he had spent 65 quid getting it polished at his jewellers. i realised that he would had to have got it done on christmas eve, so i said 'ok - send me the photos of the damage and the receipt for works done and i'll refund u'. i havent heard from him since.

im not bothering anymore - its a waste of time and aggro.

Moonbeam, who said I haven't got a phone to use now?

I sent my old one off last Friday and got a new one at the weekend.

I sold over 80 items on there,

had about 12 disputes, some people are fussy beyond belief.

on the most stubborn(ones who will complain) reufnd them and chuck them a tenner(or 5% of the product)on top they wont say shi t, put it back up and sell it on, at a higher price

best of luck some very easy people on there

id rather throw stuff in the bin than sell on ebay. all that hassle then they either dont pay or want a refund. not worth the hassle unless youre skint. ive just thrown a sony minidisc player in the bin, perfect condirion but no box or instructions. can you imagine selling that on ebay, jebus theyd want me to write a new instruction manual myself. out of my own blood. all for a fiver. no ta lol.

a while back i sold a load of toys my lads dont use anymore. nice stuff, all in good condition. sent all the stuff off recorded, so the punter had to sign for it. i had problems with 4 items.

3 of them said they hadnt been delivered, despite them being signed for, and wanted refunds. 1 of them was quite insistent, saying that they hadnt got it and were demanding the oney back and i was a thief. so, in the end, i told her that i had been told by royal mail that it had been delivered and then she replied 'oh yes - its just turned up this morning and ive signed for it' - my reply was 'no, love, u signed for it 6 days ago and ive spent hours chasing up royal mail with tracking numbers to check that u have definitely signed for it!' total cost of toy and postage - 7 facking quid.

the other gave me a bad ebayer rating because i charged him 2 quid for postage and it came to 1.68.

the next lot of toys went in a skip.

I give my used DVDs to freinds and charity shops, years ago you could make money on postage, Not now.

Ebay charge you to sell,
Ebay/Paypal charge you to get payment,
Paypal charge you to withdraw money from Your account,
Report The Priest • January 13, 2010 5:45 PM GMT
Biggest con is now you are forced to offer free postage on a number of items.

So to include the price of the packing and the normal price of nearly a pound for delivery, you have to sell your old DVDs for more than you can pay for brand new on Amazon or Play
