Ok, so basically I recently bid on an item and surprisingly won with a very low bid.
I sent a message to the seller letting him know that I was willing to bung him a bit more cash as a good will gesture providing the item arrived safetly and was as described.
On receipt of the item, I found some damage that wasn't included in the description, and also found that it needs servicing and calibrating, which is going to cost me time and money.
I let the seller know that unfortunately the extra money I offered to send him would now have to be spent on repairs and servicing.
He is now demanding more money and threatening solicitors unless I either return the item or give him an extra 50 quid (the item sold for £30).
He's obviously realised that the item was worth more and didn't want it to go for the final sale price.
I'm fairly sure that the sale and auction is a binding contract within eBay,I paid the invoice, he sent the item, done.
However I just wanted some advice on here to make sure I'm in the right and he doesn't have a leg to stand on in regards to solicitors etc
