No, i dont expect people to back me up, most have been constructive and honest. But most posts have just been written as an attempt to bash me which i feel is very pathetic.
Ahahaha! I can imagine you sitting at home hitting your keyboard like the angry german kid at Fox's comment
Just go to bed!!!I wouldn’t say you’ve been given a bashing, if anything people have tried to help you see that something used is not new, but as AtreuS put it, you seem to have your own definition of “new”.

I mislead him and i know it? example of unconstructive tripe congratulations and doing nothing useful aside bashing again. I didn't aim to sell card on as completely new, i made a mistake it seems otherwise it would have been sealed. But i stated that clearly.

Well, actually no, hence why my responses have been pretty composed instead of a lack of ability to formulate a constructive post in "anger". Least by going to bed i'd be doing something more useful than yourself.
Along with watching paint dry.... something still extremely more useful than you.

To be honest the buyer should have been more sensible. I'd never part with a £1 without reading any listing carefully. To part with over £100 makes me doubtful. I'm wondering whether he has deliberately exploited it. Unfortunately the law I have learned is in business and doesn't cover private sales, but i think common sense says that a mis-sale is just that and despite the buyer being dumb doesn't change that story. I imagine though listing it as new when it is used breaches ebays rules anyway and therefore the man has a right to a full refund.
You can either wait and then if it goes further act then or just acknowledge you were wrong and ask for it back and refund him.

Thanks for a decent reply, well as i said if he had said to me and asked for a full refund rather than a partial one essentially selling the card for nothing i may have been more sympathetic. Which is why it led me to believe he's maybe thinking ill make a real quick deal.
He himself in the paypal dispute claimed he didn't even read the item description. So yes hes in wrong but then again so am i guess listing it as new. But i tried to be as detailed and truthful as possible and provided a bunch of close up pictures.
I think twisting your face over a marginal amount of money, when quite clearly you misinformed someone/forgot to get everything accurate is a bit cheeky.
Sorry dude, but if the item says new in one thing, then its perfectly possible the guy got mixed up from your own wrongdoing

How have i pulled wool over his eyes? description CLEARLY states EVERYTHING ACCURATELY about the item. If i had lied in description then maybe yes id be willing to accept i lied outright. But i didnt.
Ok, fair enough, the buyer did still bid and win, possibly without reading the body of your listing, but it doesn't change the fact that your listing was misleading and as such, you are unlikely to get any backing from eBay, PP or OcUK’s forums.

I guess in which case ive been saying all along ill fully refund him, yet everyone has failed to even note that point and i am apparently dishonest...if i was dishonest id close my paypal acc and tell him to beat it and not reply to him.
Whats to say the guy didnt search for "New" condition in an advanced search on ebay and then just bought it thinking it was new. Yes he was stupid but then again so were you for listing it as new when thats something people can search by.
Why not offer to refund say 10% and be done with it?

Finally constructive from you, yes i agree he may have done that, still angers me every other bidder probably read the description and was like fair enough. He also claimed it has no warranty? if he had half a brain he would know BFG is a lifetime and i provided him with a link to it. I just rest my case i made a mistake ok yes. But the buyer is also a total moron and thats why im so reluctant to deal with him amicably as i feel hes trying to fleace me.

Tell him you sent it free of charge (it costed you £8) and you'll take off £20 or something. Hopefully he'll accept it. I'd suggest at this stage you cut your losses. You don't want to get on to the wrong side of paypal and that. He'll probably give you bad feedback anyway whatever happens.
Ok, I do agree with this to a point, the person buying should have paid more attention; what with the amount of scams that have happened on eBay – but (and that’s a big but), it doesn’t change the fact that the listing was misleading. Who knows, maybe the guy runs a computer business, ran a search for new kit and bids on the lowest price stuff, then lets it run it's course without checking back?
As you say the buyer could have deliberately exploited this sale, it’s something that crossed my mind initially, as for sales like this it is usually caveat emptor or buyer beware, but going back to the misleading sale – who knows.
