I hate the way even complete strangers can get at me and make me feel depressed. *sigh* Tell me, do you think I'm being unreasonable here?
I listed a mechanical item on ebay. Because I'd never used it I stated in the description that it was sold-as-seen and because I'd never tried it I couldn't vouch for whether it would work or not, although I had no reason to suppose it wouldn't.
Someone bought it.
On receipt, the buyer starts sending me angry emails about how the item isn't as described because it doesn't work. I told him the description states I've never tried the item and those were the terms under which he bought it. Buyer is unconvinced.
Do you think I'm being unreasonable here? Fair enough, if I bought something and it didn't work, I'd be pretty pissed too, but I did make it very clear in the description that I didn't know if it worked or not?

Am I being unreasonable?
Is roger being reasonable?
Sex God
I go on ebay and stay firmly away from the never tested it sold as seen things cos they probably don't work.
Don't stress just reply saying it was stated "sold as seen" and you had no idea it didn't work........... unless of course you knew it didn't work.... then I'd be mad too!

Seems like he got the goods as described!! Fuck him sometimes these things happen and not just on e-bay!! Lots of places have a no return policy on goods anyway so really if he wasnt sure what it was and if he was and wasnt going to be happy if it wasnt what he wanted then he shouldnt have bought it!!
Yes bit
Thanks to everyone for the messages of support. Very reassuring to hear so many think I'm in the right - we can't all be wrong! 
It was only 9 quid (including postage) so I don't think the guy should feel too hard done by. But I get very angry with myself though for letting people get to me like this - I was feeling really good this morning, and by tonight I was feeling about ready to throw myself under a bicycle. I'd have given the guy his refund if it'd clear my mind, but I did that I know I'll just spend days dissing myself for not standing on my principles. Guess sometimes you just can't win, huh?

Wait until 5 minutes before the 90 day feedback period is up then leave him a real stinker! That way he can't rebut it :twisted: :twisted:
E-bay are wankers anyway!! I was once bored and had heard that someone had been trying to sell a bottle of fresh air the week before so I decided to see what would happen if I put a used condom on for auction (didnt say how it had been used though!!) I also stuck another couple of really stupid things on it for a laugh although I only got bids on the used condom as some maniac complained about me for being so disgusting (ffs some people have no sense of humour!) Was already making £3 on it already as well the other items didnt even get a chance cause I got kicked off e-bay! haha
Needless to say I was back on a month later buying a copy of a rare video (not that kind of video!) I had wanted for ages that wasnt available anyway

I notice they didnt kick off the girl who sold her virginity to pay her university fees thou (maybe they did eventually??), maybe had something to do with the amount of money they would make on her auction 
Think she got about £10k :shock:

I think u did the right thing roger....i use ebay alot and brought afew crap things...and if it was so bad and the person wouldn't give me a refund or what ever i just get paypal to refund me and thats that....i only pay for items on paypal cause its abit safer....
But sod the twat...if he can't read then thats tuff.....the only thing i hate is the peeps who add a fee on top of the postage and item price....i have told ebay about afew items i'd won and the person was asking paypal for me to pay more than stated,which ebay sorted and i paid what i should and didn't get bad feeback cause ebay has stated that in there terms that u can't over charge....or add any fees other than price and postage....
i like ebay tho....but i'm careful of all the fraud that goes on...it happened to my mother in law, some twat in america stole her id and account and tried selling 2 motor bikes..asking for the money upfront..ie a deposit...1 bike was on for 24 hours and it got to 12 grand and the other bike was on for 48 hours over a weekend and that got 8 grand then ebay suspended her account until it could resolve the matter on a week day
...but they never got him and they changed everything for her...but she was helpless when he stole the account...the strange thing was he signed her out of ebay while she wa bidding on some other items...she was really pissed cause she really whated the item, so ebay contacted the sellor and they came to an arrangement and she got the item in the end tho....
Omg i can go on can't i...rant over
