The GroovyPlucker Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ebay are a shower of c***ts, they always find in favour of the buyer, no matter what, I still use them as they reach my target audience, but once you know they don't give a f**k about you, you can approach it with open eyes. Scammers are everywhere, just comes down to statistics, Ebay are probably the biggest scammers out there....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy Le Cragg Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I sold an acoustic last year. The buyer received it and left positive feedback. They then opened a "not as described" case as they claimed the first 2 frets needed replacing. I called bullshit and fought it. I offered to refund as long as they returned it to me in the exact condition they received it in. As they had said they had "sent it away for repair", eBay decided in my favour as they couldn't return in it the condition they received it in. It was the first time as a seller they had found in my favour but proof that it does happen occasionally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 trouble with not using ebay is your potential customer market is so much smaller, so you probably don't get such a good price, I know whenever I'm looking for an item ebay is my first point of call. I've got another acoustic guitar on there at the moment,(being a lefty it's the only way I can try guitars before deciding which one is for me) I've stipulated a minimum of 25 feedback and I'll be taking extensive photo's of it before it goes off. Not being able to give negative feedback to a buyer is a mystery to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacey Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 They have now said buyers have 180 days to return an item. Free Amp hire ? Buy and send back at 170 days and get all your money back. What a crock of ***** E_bay is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I can cover staffs for collecting it back, I'm sure we can relay it back between us? Im a spiteful bastard so if it were mine I'd always rather get it back and smash it to bits before letting someone have it for half the price because of new dubious marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I felt the same way Pete but I'm also a pragmatist, £60 is better than nothing, I've drawn a line under it now and moved on with a lesson learned, the buyer lived in Somerset.
