Seeking Advice on Damaged Sofa Purchased Off eBay - But Stupidly Paid Outside...

Paying £700 for a second hand sofa.
Buying something on eBay then paying for it by cash/bank transfer.

Yea, it's time to step away from the internet.

Have you inspected the fabrics with a blacklight yet?

Probably better for OP not to check, otherwise he might regret agreeing to 'no further claims or disputes relating to the sofas'

Glad it’s all sorted, but £700 for that???
Did he sell you any bridges/magic beans as well?

A good result to be honest, considering that (even though you could have probably caused the seller a few issues with Ebay), you probably wouldn't have been able to get anywhere with reversing the bank transfer or legal action.

I already reported them to Ebay the same evening they went quiet on me.
