I sold a batch of xbox360 games on ebay over Christmas and one particular ebayer bought one for £8.99 with free postage. Game was as new - immaculate. He bought it before Christmas then at the beggining of Jan he left this feedback :

GOOD EBAYER - ITEM ARRIVED AND IS AS DESCRIBED - WOULD RECOMMEND SELLER AAA+++++

Suddenly out of the blue at the weekend I get an email from him saying hes not happy because the picture I showed on the listing was just a generic picture for the game - showing the original cover - however the copy I sent him was the 'classics' edition.

He then goes on to say I should give him a partial refund of £4.50 and hel be happy.

Where do I stand with this? Hes definelty trying to pull a fast one but as usual with ebay they almost always side with the buyer- ive initially told him to feck off in kinder words. Im not even sure the copy i sent him was the classics.

Basically hes had the game a good few weeks or more - long enough to complete it or get bored of it and now I reckon hes trying it on. Obviously he is a major coksucker.
If I did accept a return on it and its in cack condition for example, where do I stand then??? It was immaculate when I sent it, what if i recieve it back and it stinks of smoke, crumpled instructions and scratched disc for example? Can a seller refuse to give a full refund based on the condition of the returned item?

What would you do, stand ground and tell him to sod off or accept a return?

Since he's left positive feedback then the deal is closed and the lad has no comeback as far as I'm aware.

Tell him to sling his hook.

Tell him to sod off basically. As you've said he's had it long enough to complete it. In that time he could have easily spotted any discrepencies and decided he wasn't happy then. He's trying to pull a fast one the prick!

[Villers]

Check his feedback to see if he buys lots of games. He might have two accounts with one for buying and one for selling. Theres a chance he could be one of these that buys to sell and he knows he'll prob get less for the classic against an original. What difference it would make to someone wanting to play games I dont know!

String it out until he gets bored, there must be a time limit for him complaining. He's already left feedback so balls to him!

He has had the item for a while and lef the feedback. take a screen shot and use it if he tries to get ebay involved.

Have you told him he has already left feedback saying it is as described?

Also, what are the refund conditions on your ebay ad? "Any issues myst be brought to my attetion with x days of receiving the item" etc

[Paulington]

To echo the sentiments of others, tell him kindly to sod off.

He's left the feedback detailing it as described, he hasn't got a leg to stand on with eBay.

top be honest then mate,

You have every right not to refund him the money. And if this was in the real world then you wcould argue with him as say "look mate you said you were happy"

But i fear that Ebay will be gimps. Im not sure if you can appeal against a ruling though.

Tell the guy that he said he was happy, and that you will not refund him anything.

See if he goes to ebay, if he does play the long game. Wait until the day before the time limit to reply etc etc

he will soon slip up and get bored

[DJH]

Ignore.

If it doesn't meet his expectations I'm sure he won't mind sending the cunt back then?

I would just tell him to bugger off. if it goes to ebay/paypal just make sure you can give them a decent reason why you would not have it returned.
Paypal actually sided with me on a paddle clutch I sold when the buyer tried to pull one by saying he had fitted it and it was worn out. (he had a worn out one which he had already admitted to and was planning to send to me i think), I put my case to paypal and they agreed with me.

Heres the latest convo:

HIM:

You are the one who is pathetic as a seller trying to pass something off as it was not, clearly in violation of eBay's policies.

I apply the letter of the law which is a higher authority than ebay's rules and regulations and as such you are responsible for the collection of your goods and it is not even my responsibility to assist you, so you do what you have to do. If you do not collect your item within the permitted time I will refer the discrepancies to my credit card company who will recover my monies in full from your PayPal account and I will be at no further liability to yourself in respect of these matters. Hence the reason as to why I offered you the 50/50 settlement for the illicit behaviour of your actions that you created. I entered into a contract with yourself in good faith you failed in your undertaking which is a breach of contract and this is your position.

ME:

good luck with that.

HIM:

100% percent success rate, the facts are the facts of the case matter.

[The View Askew]

As much as I hate people selling classics/platinum games as originals (fuck you for this) he can go away immediately because he left feedback and time has passed.

If you are not happy, you say so straight away!.

the guy is bored. Report the messages you are getting to ebay as abusive.

[owl10]

why not just empty your paypal account - where will they take it from?

oh, dont forget to post his email address so the spambots can see it....

Tell him to kindly fuck off. Too much time has passed, pretty obvious he's played the game and wants his money back.

[pits]

So he bought it in December, it is now late Jan, he has left good feedback.

To be honest regardless of what he says, it is a private sale
Caveat Emptor

Tell him to do one.
