With 2nd hand goods they have to fit description i.e. working. As a seller you are bound to that part of SOGA. If they develop a fault or whatever days or weeks later then you are not liable. (It'd be hard to argue this with PayPal though who allow cases to be opened upto 45 days after the sale).

Ebay/Paypal can add rules in addition to SOGA. It is their market.

About 6 months ago I sold a 27" Hazro monitor on eBay. When the buyer received it the corner was smashed and he sent a photo.

He then said not to worry as he was only telling me so I would avoid that courier in the future! He said he was happy with the monitor and I couldn't believe my luck.

And here you have the other side of the coin, an absolute mug of a buyer. Why didn't he just claim off the courier?

Contact the Police and tell them the situation.

Nearly all couriers won't cover damage to LCDs. The buyer would be within his rights to claim on PayPal though, as it's the sellers responsibility to ensure the goods arrive safely and as described.

I would visit your local police station.

Trust me, that doesn't mean anything with ebay.

OP says it isn't the original, buyer says it is.

You really think the police arbitrate over such issues? You'd end up being embarrassed at a police station.

All you can do is plead your case with Paypal, the Police wont want to know.

OK me and my mate are going to visit this person in the weekend. I will go to his house with my boxing stance and get my camera back. If I get my camera back then I will smash his camera in front of his doorstep.

My friend will record this and I will get a video up on youtube to name and shame.

OH well I've ****ed through a guys letterbox like 10 times with my mate. Because he cheated with his gf. We more did it for laughs more than anything

So much for CSI.

Do it OP.

It did not occur to you sp1ke that his gf might have seduced him, meaning it was not his fault? This makes you quite a sexist.

Lool if you do this I will create a charity in your name honoring you

please keep us updated!

Also, if I was you I would not write anything on eBay to the buyer mentioning you wanting to pay a visit to him or her. They could use this against you as if you are a threat. Just stroll up to his/ her door on the weekend.

Everyone is personally responsible for the actions that they take.

Sounds like a plan.

Cheating with another mans girl is not a criminal offense!

i stopped using ebay years ago, it's a scammer's playground. Gumtree is more safe. The buyer comes to your house, inspects the item and pays what was agreed on phone or email.

no fees, no hasstle but takes more time selling stuff.

There's no PayPal or eBay in NZ its great. Similar site is called Trademe and if you email them you get an actual human responding quickly. No jumping through hoops trying to find contact info. Hopefully PayPal never arrives.
