It had working batteries in it, and worked the day it left my house. There was no need to do anything to it
Plus he “told me” he replaced the batteries and was pressing the remote right against the sensor.
The fact it just “started working” is truly a miracle
I think so! The unit worked perfectly the day I sent it!
Moi? 
I sold a camera recently on eBay. Camera arrives and pretty much immediately I get a request for a refund because it doesn’t focus and eBay put the funds on hold.
I’m thinking wtf, it was fine when it left. Then I realise that I normally have them set up so that focus is on a rear panel button rather than the default, which is on the shutter button. So I politely message and suggest that’s what the problem is and suggest factory resetting (to be fair I should have remembered to do this.)
The dispute gets cancelled but there’s no message back or anything. It would have been nice if they’d messaged me first before instantly raising a dispute. Or at least acknowledged that my suggestion had fixed the problem. I do wonder how some people get through life with such shit communication skills.
After failing to find a buyer on here I sold this on Shetlink
I even delivered it to the guy (in Lerwick) and he seemed delighted.
Then I get a message to say it isn’t working, I want my money back, You said it was unused, refund me now, etc. etc.
I asked him what wasn’t working on it and how had he tried to operate it, I just got more of “I want my money back” shit, so I told him the next time I was coming to Lerwick would be a couple of weeks away and I would call in and IF it wasn’t working I would refund him, but I was going to try it and if it worked he wan’t getting a refund.
Within hours I got a short message “it’s working now”
Cunt.
Yep I think these cunts treat it as a way to try stuff they can’t afford, and instead want to make me spend £50 on two way postage so they can wank over high end kit
The switcheroo is rife on there right now.
Got a cart with a channel down, buy another on eBay then send back the dud. Got an amp with a moody transformer? How about a record with a scratch on it…,… This shit is lonnggg. Yes you can security mark which is how I politely respond to the return request. Once the item has been through security verification you will be refunded promptly. Amazing how many things don’t get returned.
Last week I had x3 returns 1) Chinese man who couldn’t read 'Sold as spares / repairs. 2) Man who’s item was 24 hrs late 3) A guy who bought an Ortofon Quintet and said it was ‘too big’ for his Sony tonearm …
They live among us and they vote.
Sold an amp on eBay a few years back. Got notification of delivery and a few hours later a message to say the amp hummed, included in the message was pictures of the amp dismantled and board removed.
I politely said I wouldn’t refund as he had pulled it apart and any repair was his issue now.
Next message, it’s fine now I moved it away from my TV.
EBay is full of chancers and tat, very rare I use it now.
Hard to reach vinegar stroke but it is doable.
I sold a DAC a few weeks ago - chap came round, listened to it, in my system paid cash and left. Next day he contacts me to say, in his system it’s only on a par with his current DAC, and what did I think? 
I have never sold a single thing on ebay because it is a Twat’s Charter.
Usually the truth is buyer’s remorse: they’ve spunked some £ and had their cashgasm, now it’s self-loathing and Kleenex time - and you are going to pay the price. Ebay make it easy for these twats. Also had it a lot when I was a dealer - morons buy blind on looks every fucking time - after a couple of weeks they realise they’ve made a mistake, or they’re bored again, so they just lie about non-existent faults, and send shit back - usually covered in greasy fingerprints and mandruff flakes, reeking of dope, with visible wear and tear, damaged boxes, missing accessories, no manual, &c, &c…
Outright scammers are rife too - “not received” is enough to get ebay sending the cunts their money back - and it really is their word against yours even outside ebay, and the truth is you have no idea if they got it and are lying, or some thieving cunt had it away at the sorting office or out the back of the parcels van.
All this bullshit means I only sell on forums or face-to-face - and is why I have a roomfull of unsold cables &c. I’d sooner take them down the recycling tip than have shit thieved off me. So much entitled scum out there on the nick.
There’s a thing called tracked delivery, you should try it.
There’s a thing called lying, thieving, useless cunts: you should try getting parcels companies to acknowledge they’ve fucked-up.
You should also try making an insurance claim from one of them.
Have fun.
I get the issue here, far too many companies willing to leave parcels on doorsteps or with a neighbour. What if your. Neighbour hates you and just keeps it.
With some couriers, you can specify that it absolutely can’t be left anywhere else and a photo must be produced.
Poor quality of rant, he’s probably run out of Preparation H again.
Don’t support his rant FFS.
Last photo I received of a delivered parcel was from a doorstep of a house in another street.
