This guy doesn't look like a gangster type according to the OP. If he is all mouth and no trousers he may try a more suble approach such as slashing car tyres, or a brick through the window.Originally posted by eek View PostThat's the wrong way. What you want to do is to point out 192.com's expensive mobile reverse lookup system.
But to be honest if I know you name and rough geographic location I can get your home address in minutes as the poor sod who tried to con me out of a £500 for a top of the range SLR camera found out.
From what I was told the police were very happy to find and arrest him for the outstanding warrants on top of the new fraud charge. The facebook photos of him
helped even further.

Ssh, I wanted to wind up the OP.Originally posted by eek View Postonly works if there is an auction that you have completed with the other party. Without the auction id you won't get anywhere and don't forget that the auction here didn't complete.
Its self inflicted no sympathy.

Otherwise you're 'mispresenting' the fact that you know SFA.

And The Sale of Goods Act (as amended) doesn't apply to private sales.
The only thing that applies is the Mispresentation Act.
In future if you advertise something via ebay then make sure you do everything via ebay otherwise use GumTree, CraighsList or your local pub.
You are more than welcome to have a read of it:
Sale of Goods Act 1979
Come back and quote me the exact section that states that where a buyer does not deal as a consumer (in other words a private sale) he has no protection as offered by The Act.Last edited by Incognito; 12 August 2011, 13:30.

Excellent! Are you taking exams?Originally posted by Incognito View Post"Not transferable" - breach of S.12 'the seller must have the right to sell the goods '
"lots of T&Cs" - depends on how the item was described, an EPL ticket would be void (not allowed to sell, S.12). SPL ticket you are allowed to resell. It is up to the buyer to ensure they can comply with the T's & C's. For example if I sell you a ticket for Hearts v Rangers and state it is Hearts end (but you're a Rangers fan) and you go with a Rangers top on and get refused entry (T's & C's state home end for home fans only), you can't come back to me and say I never made you aware of that. The risk is on you to do your own due diligence.
However, if you asked me will I get in with a Rangers top on and I said yes, then that's a breach of S.13 'goods sold by description must correspond to the description'.

"Not transferable" - breach of S.12 'the seller must have the right to sell the goods 'Originally posted by Paddy View PostBut what happens if the voucher clearly stated “not transferable” or someone was selling and unused air ticket or a an unused football ticket with lots of T&Cs?

WHSOriginally posted by eek View PostBecause he's a muppet, you're a muppet and you are both acting as muppets. Either reply to him and tell him to sod off or refund him the money.
Either way apart from Paddy who seems to want to talk half baked consumer law I don't think anyone here is interested in your failed con tricks.

Think EBay support is 1-800-TOUGH SH1TOriginally posted by MarillionFan View PostReally? Excellent. I had a problem with a car I bought off Loot recently. What's the number for Ebay support???
The OP has obviously never tried to resolve something with Ebay support. If he had, he'd refund his buyer double and give him a free gift just to avoid the extreme stress caused by trying to communicate with these dummies.

OP, like you've been told already... And this is multiple choice, except c) which is compulsory
a)Refund your buyer and get over it.
b)Refuse to refund your buyer and deal with it.
c)F**k off and give us all peace.
