ebay problems

[4ever21]

I just sold an "all sales are final" item on ebay and the guy decided that he doesn't like his item anymore. Do I have to give a refund? He is saying that if I don't that he will hire an attorney and crap. Am I obligated to refund him his money?

 

[NathanBWF]

Tell him tough crap. He should read the auctions more carefully next time before he bids if it was clearly stated "ALL SALES FINAL". Let him waste his money on a lawyer...

Is the item damaged/broken? I would think if the item is functional, and the only reason he wants his money back is because he doesn't want it anymore, you are not obligated to refund his money.

the item was BRAND NEW with tags still attatched. . .just got an email from him that he has ALREADY sent the item back. . .what an a**hole. Now what am I to do??

Refuse delivery.

Keep the item, and the money. There is nothing he can do. I would document all your correspondence with him carefully, to CYA. Got any excerpts from the emails? This sounds funny...

here is the screw-up's his latest email to me: you have until monday to refund my money or i will be filling civil and criminal charges against you for fraud. It won't be the first time i ghad to do this and trust me it will cost you alot more then the *** that you are trying to steal from me.

Yep that certainly is the case. If you state clearly on your Ebay page the terms and conditions of the auction, by buying it he has entered into an agreement, one which is also legally binding. I imagine he us just using scare tactics by mentioning the lawyer, but if he persists in that course of action, let him. He will waste a sh|tload of money and cause himself tons of stress to boot. Simply send him an email telling him his position and leave it at that, tell him you're NOT going to reply to anymore emails and leave the ball in his court. Hope everything goes well for you.

where exactly is the fraud?

 

[Hammer]

refuse delivery. email him back a copy of the auction with the "all sales are final" thing. unless you misrepresented the item, you have nothing to worry about.

 

[NathanBWF]

He's an idiot. Call his bluff.....

 

[TC2181]

how much $$$ are we talking about here?

 

[z0mb13]

guys like that need to be shot..

seriously..


threatening other people is a pure cowardice act

 

[Jeff7181]

LOL... e-mail him back a link to the definition of fraud

Also, if you get the item back, write on it "Refused, return to sender" and take it back to the post office. Don't keep it... if you do, you're accepting the return and should refund his money.

You might also want to include a link to the section on eBay's site that explains that a bid is a binding contract.

link to auction please

need to verify that the "all sales are final" text is not in 3 point font size in the corner somewhere using white text on a white background

 

[toekramp]

link to item?

edit: damn, said the same thing as numb nuts above me.

First things first: Refuse Delivery on the package.

Just tell him that you no longer have any dealings with him. The terms and conditions of sale for your auction were clearly marked, and you will not back down. If he wishes to have any further correspondance, he can have his lawyer contact you. Warn him that any emails he sends you will be automatically filtered out, and any further correspondance directly from him will be considered harassment.

If he is really serious, then he will have his lawyer send you a letter (which will cost him a few hundred dollars). If he is bluffing, you should never hear from him again.

If he is really serious, then you have nothing to worry about. You don't even need a lawyer, this case will never hit the courts.

 

[z0mb13]

If he does sue you, counter sue for bazillion dollars for your wasted time
