Can't you (the seller) just close your paypal account/stop the card?Originally posted by Platypus View PostYou're screwed. He will claim on PayPal protection (item not as described) then PayPal will take the money back from you.
Then you have no PC and no money.
Which is why I love eBay
It's highly dangerous selling anything of value of eBay.
In this case I'd be firm and say, you wrecked it, you keep it. And keep his texts as evidence in the sure-to-follow Paypal dispute.
But surely they can't ask for money back when the purchaser has seriously f*cked about with something they bought?Last edited by ZARDOZ; 25 June 2014, 17:42.Comment

I got rid of the Evil Edna telly + stand (plus loads more crap) via freecycle.
But like ebay it can be hit and miss. Especially when some arse tries to not-so-subtly-hint that he would like the FREE goods delivered to them.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I've got rid of a few things that way e.g unopened printer cartridges from a broken printer I had chucked, plants I have divided or have babies, and collected a few useful things e.g. packing boxes.
What I don't like is the begging emails - it's first come first serve as long as you aren't rude - and people being difficult about collecting the item. I don't give a damn if you ebay the item afterwards either as if I could be bothered to do it it wouldn't be on freecycle/freegle."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Yes you get some right shysters trying it on, but I gave up with Car Boots a long time ago (How much, love? 30p. Ooooh that's a bit high, I can pay you 20p in two pees!)Originally posted by SueEllen View Post
Probably gonna have to use it soon as my 16 month old hp printer died on me mid print only 2 weeks after I had replaced all the ink and I've not had a sniff on ebay.

****** ell it gets worse. I suspect some of you will find this funny.
In the end I said mate put it all back, find the licence sticker and bring it back and **** off. I'll check it then do a paypal refund. So he does - dropped it off tonight.
Half a licence sticker and now it wont boot. All looks there but I've got the hassle and time of rebuilding it now whereas if was fine before. FFS.
So basically, it looks hes taken it apart, upgraded it, scraped the licence sticker off (why?) its not worked so hes decided he wants to send it back. Then obviously aint got a clue how to do so. Did he really think I wouldnt notice it didnt boot?
Luckily, got the PC back and aint done a refund yet. But eventually, even thought hes stupid he will figure out that he can get this back. ****** hassle or what. Next old PC is going in the skip!Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
