As their help is a joke, and most of the time is an automated system i'm hoping someone on here may have the answer.

I sold 2 driveshafts on ebay of which the same person bought both.

Got there and they stated that one was the wrong part for their car and one was damaged.

To be honest, sounds like a bit of a chancer.

So i contacted Royal Mail who told me that they need to put a claim in, of which they haven't as they are expecting me to do it which Royal Mail are saying i can't as i'm not the recipient.

The other item they are saying is the wrong bit for their car (Saxo VTS) even though it came off of my old car (106 GTI) so i know for a fact the part is right.

I supplied all of this information to ebay and now they have refunded the buyer as they always side with them.

So now the buyer has the item and the money back so i'm basically out of pocket.

What now? Does the buyer have to send the item back or do i remain £22.50 out of pocket?

Thanks,

Andy
 
Hmm, that's odd from what they told me then :S

What would be the scenario with the other item that is apparantly the wrong one.

Seems ebay are still disputing that one but have refunded the damaged item one.

I'd be impressed if Royal Mail managed to damage a driveshaft!

I believe that he should send the damaged item back to you, you then look at it and go "Yeah that's damaged" and then you claim on your postage insurance. Once you've got the money from Royal Mail you refund him.

About the one that allegedly doesn't fit, it's entirely his fault. Aslong as you listed it correctly (i.e. "offside driveshaft from 2001 Peugeot 106 GTi") and that's what you sent, then it's his problem if it doesn't suit his application. It's not a defect with your item, the same item from someone else also wouldn't suit his application.

Yea don't sell on eBay, more profit for those of us that do :)

He should send you both items back, I would expect him to cover the cost of the "wrong" one though as it's not your fault.
