Lazy as a rug on Valium
Further to my angry post last week about PayPal refusing to pay me my money for two turntables that I sold, until the buyer was completely satisfied, I have now had an e-mail from the CHANCER **** who bought them.
Knowing full well that he can't lose he has demanded I lower the price or he won't agree the transaction was satisfactory, even though he came and collected them yesterday and spent 40 minutes testing them out. I had to reschedule my day, staying in to wait for him, then offered him ample opportunity to put them through their paces to ensure he was satisfied with them both. They work PERFECTLY and the only minor damage to them is cosmetic, which he could not only see up close and personal on picking them up but also quite clearly in the numerous high-res photos I put up on eBay.
Yet because PayPal and eBay are so protective of the buyer he knows he can now spout any old rubbish to get money off or even get away without paying most likely. So he's told me there is a slight chip in one of them (well I don't remember it and it doesn't show in the photos which I took the DAY of the listing) and that one of the buttons doesn't work. Now I have no idea whether he's telling the truth or not but there's not an awful lot I can do about it as they're in his possession now and could well have a chip in the display and he may even have broken this button (that mysteriously worked PERFECTLY when last I used them) so how can I possibly prove in any dispute otherwise?
Furthermore when he did collect them, and after spending all this time trying them out, he refused my offer of additional packaging to ensure their safety in the boxes so if there IS any additional damage then it would more than likely have occurred in the boot of his car, rattling around inside old carboard boxes.
How can people get away with stuff like this? And what is my position now? I have no money and no decks.
I did ensure he signed a piece of paper acknowledging that he collected them from me before he left but it strikes me this is worthless if he is bitching about their condition or not being as advertised in an attempt to extort money from me.
And if I say fine, we'll cancel it and I'll have them back, what chance is there that he will speedily and safely ensure their return to me? And what guarantees do I have that they won't be in worse condition now? In fact what's his motivation to do anything other than argue?
I can't be expected to pay for their return, particularly as I can't afford to anyway, and is he really likely to drive all the way back here (from Milton Keynes) just to hand an angry man his goods back?
I'm literally SEETHING with a RAGE you cannot DREAM of.
