Quoted from jj44114:Agree 100%, but Ebay would have sided with him anyway if he pursued it. Been through it, Ebay almost always sides with the buyer even if the add states "no returns or As Is".
This - and it's why I don't do anything on eBay anymore. I sold a high-end film scanner many years ago. After a week, the buyer mails me and claims it doesn't work - there's some sort of error. I called BS because I tested it and even scanned something before I shipped it. I ask him to give me a screenshot of the error, but he doesn't. Later he says that while it does "occasionally" scan, it always prints a line in the middle of the image. Again, I ask him for an image to prove it. He says he doesn't know how to do that, but he takes a picture of the screen with his phone.... This guy's buying a $1k+ film scanner but doesn't know how to send the image? Yeah, right... 30 days after the auction ends, he files a report with eBay, so I was forced to return the money to him.
Luckily he did send it back. I tested it, and it worked fine. Posted it on eBay again, a film company bought it and had no complaints. So the guy just wanted to borrow a scanner for free.
The guy did make one mistake that I could've taken advantage of. eBay policy is that when shipping a product over $50 in value, that the receiver has to SIGN for it. The guy didn't pay for that service, so I technically could've said I never received it and kept the receiver AND the money... If I wanted to commit a felony. However I have read where some buyers ship back a box of rocks, the seller signs for the package and then is out the money AND the product, so... Beware out there.
