Ebay problem

it was a large ebay retailer with thousands of transactions and only 13 pounds value, i wasnt going well out of my way to mess about packing and posting a shoddy item that only worked for 5 minutes.

Im sure most normal people on here will agree with my actions you sir need to calm down brian stuart
 
So defrauding a large company is different from defrauding an individual how exactly?
I'm perfectly calm but people like yourself are why i do not use ebay, probably along with many others.
 
He would have been the first to the forum's if he'd bought something from EBay and when the box arrived it was empty.
It's OK for him to ***** sellers but if the shoe was on the other foot...
 
The moral of this story is that someone selling a phone for a 'friend', when it is an 'unwanted upgrade', is asking for trouble.

Chavs selling to chavs.

An 'unwanted upgrade'?!?!?! They don't force you to take one, in fact if you don't upgrade, you can enjoy the benefits of a cheaper tariff!!!

Or was this too complicated for your 'friend' to understand, who no doubt thought he could earn a few quid. :rolleyes:
 
Given the way he wanted a refund or compensation, then backed down when you offered the refund, i'm thinking he's out to make a quick buck off the sale.

I expect you'll get a Paypal chargeback for "item not as described". Paypal will order him to send the item back, he'll fake a number, and the moneys will be taken off you and given back to him and he gets to keep the phone.

Sorry, but i've seen too many of these to think anything else would happen.

large companies account for situations such as the one you are refering to in the prices they charge.

individuals do not:p

ebay is a farce and so is paypal, heres my story...

A month ago i bought this device for clearing blocked drains, you attached it to a drill and it basically corkscrewed drains clearing them out at high speed with a drilling motion etc.

Anyway i was going at it and the metal piece that went into the end of the drill and attached to the device got hot and melted away from the plastic rendering the whole thing absolutely useless.

I sent a moaning email to the seller but they said they wanted the item back to investigate, i could not be bothered to post it back as it was huge and i dont have time so i just pretended i had ( it was only 13 quid)

anyway a couple weeks pass and the paypal claim asks me to provide a tracking number to prove id posted it back.

I put LMFAO in as the tracking number as i didnt expect to win the case but a few days later i got a refund and the claim went in my favour!

So according to your moral compass it is OK to defraud Tesco's, Sainsburys Boot's et al, because they account for theft and fraud in their business models?
Presumably they will not press charges if you defraud them of, oh, £13 of goods.
 
I fully expected to lose the case which was why i put LMFAO in as the tracking number i didnt care about a refund i just could not be bothered to send the goods back as it was so bulky and large. I work 50 hours a week and have a family i took pictures of the faulty item and i offered to send them to the seller, hoping to save the hassle of posting back this 3 metre long snake thing.

They refused to accept pictures so i thought ill file a claim for goods not as described, i mentioned the issue in the paypal claim that the goods were not fit for purpose and i won the case. There is nothing wrong with my moral compass i assure you.
 
So basically you could not be bothered to return the goods, so thus depriving the seller of the chance to return them to his supplier and not be out of pocket.
Nice one.
