I bought something on Ebay for £2.99. But when it arrived it wasn't as I expected so I sent a message to the seller.

He basically said, 'don't blame us, you bought the wrong one!'

And if that wasn't rude enough, when I sent another message asking to return the item for a refund, he then replied, 'get stuffed or apologise to me first!'

Quite frankly I couldn't be bothered with the hassle or his bizarre attitude, so I gave the product to a friend.

But I could have reported the seller for being nasty and rude.

Just give him a bad review, he won't like that

I wouldn't bother with bad feedback for something 2.99 tbh. But the attitude, I would give bad feedback for.

Yeah but he sounds crazy. He knows where I live. He sounds mad enough to get in his car and drive 200 miles to sort me out.

Appalling person. It was only a data cable.

I love ebay, you can get your money back on anything and keep the item. Just open up a dispute in the resolution center.

This can also be a pain in the arse when people file false disputes

I highly doubt that.

I hate ebay for the very same reason...I got a chargeback a few years back even though I had signature proof that the item was delivered (claimed it wasn't received, not claiming defective or anything) and ebay decided in their favour.

I now know its really not worth selling anything of value on there as ebay side with the scammers.

I really just can't understand the mentality, it's no different to shop lifting, a lot of eBay sellers are sole traders who can't afford to lose stock if you can't pay for it why not do without it?

Yes give him a bad review they hate that. One seller once spent 2-3 weeks asking me to remove the bad review. It felt good getting their desperate emails knowing I wouldn't remove the review and it was just about a phone case I think I posted about it in little things that irritate you thread. If you feel he could show up to your house I think you can report him.

Yeah, I stopped selling on Ebay too. Not worth it unless you have a shop there. Although.. I think if you done signed for delivery and gave a tracking code, this wouldnt have happened.

I dont, it was sarcasm. We need a sarcasm emoji. (I havent actually used Ebay for about 2 years after getting ripped off in the same way one too many times)

They are ripping you off 9/10 times yes.

Sorry for causing such a ruckus haha.

This is what I did

I know someone who did the same as me AND got positive feedback on their ebay from the buyer, and then had the payment clawed back from them for non-delivery

I laugh, but its not funny really..

Edit. Though ebay didn't refund the buyer, paypal did. But this was when they were both the same company pretty much

Nah, I will prove I am better than him by moving on.

I've had a chargeback too. For £280. I took my case to the Financial Ombudsman. Paypal lost and had to repay me the money.

And people should give bad reviews as well, they're really helpful when you're thinking of buying something, I always read the reviews and if there's alot of bad ones I won't buy from that person

[LeatherTrumpet]

Did the buyer have a stated returns process on the listing?

If so instigate a returns process

If they did not ( and most do) just relist the item yourself and make sure that you give the buyer a negative (it sounds like he could have many already so another wont make a difference).
