OK, will report. Thanks guys, the cashing in money order then filing a claim thing didn't occur to me.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Buyer knew perfectly well that it was broken. Part of their plan.
Wonder how many others they have tried for?
Bigger wonder is how many have fallen for it?
I do a good deal of buying on eBay myself and I NEVER make a commitment without checking out the sellers feedback rating.
Even one with 100% I have reservations about if they have had a low amount of sales, but if a large number of sales with at least a 99.7 rating would be pretty good.
It would if they practiced safe buying habits by reading what they are bidding on and checking out the sellers reputation, like I do.
You'll note that in my response, I am the buyer.
To buy something that is stated as broken, then wanting a refund because they say that they didn't know it was broken sounds fishy, if not downright irresponsible, to me.

Item 150340809886 maybe?
Title: Playstation 3 40 gb, upgraded to 100gb
Description: I purchased this unit off of ebay and it has the infamous blinking red light issue. The hard drive has been upgraded to 100gb.
Includes only:
AV Cable
HDMI Cable
Power cable
Are you handy? Fix it yourself, or send it to Sony for a repair - this could be a way to get a PS3 at a bargain price!

Nice catch. In that case, I say OP better refund her the money via paypal and eat the ebay fees. Chances are they'll side with the buyer anyway. His auction is way more ambiguous than he let on in his post.
The only hint he gives that the PS3 might be broken is some blurb about a blinking red light (which I assume is like the RROD, but not being a PS3 enthusiast, I wouldn't know, maybe it's just a visual annoyance and the PS3 is still fully functional).

Agreed. I've never owned a PS3, so I wouldn't know that it means the unit is non-functional...BUT, before I'd buy one with that in the description, I'd do some research to find out what it meant.
This auction description does NOT match the OP's version of how it was advertised.
IMO, he owes the lady a full refund-payable by whatever means she paid him.

I read the item description. Didn't see the word 'broken' mentioned once. Then again, I would hope people would want to find out what 'blinking red light issue' is before purchasing......meh
Also, after perusing the OP's Ebay reviews......for some reason the first 3 pages are mostly the same exact review - word for word. And its not even for the item listed. whats up with that?
OP should refund the money, and find different reviews to post.

is this it?
IF so you deserve whatever you get. that auction is so full of shit and looks like a legit working unit you upgraded. NO "THIS ITEM IS BROKEN" at all.
