Maybe getting the shaft on ebay
 

Imagine that. I sold a laptop to a guy, and he claimed that it didn’t work. He said it would only run for 5 minutes then shut off. I told him to ship it back to me so I could look at it. I got it back today, and he didn’t package it up correctly so now it has a corner busted on it plus the cd drive is crooked. I am probably out of luck as PP always finds in the favor of the buyer.

Sorry to hear. Been there, done that.

The kicker is that even in the shape it is in now it still runs. I have had it on my desk all day, and it has worked just fine.

Insurance?

Take pictures of the packaging and damage and include it in your response. I successfully defended a return challenge where the buyer tried to pull the same (it doesn't work properly) story on a radio I sold. He made a claim three months after he received the radio. Supply as much supporting documentation as possible, such as the buyer's e-bay positive feedback if any.

Sounds like you have had a horrible new laptop expeirence for the last week, but I would agree that he probaly damaged it then used shotty pagkaging as a cover

No kidding I am at the point now where I am going to the store to buy one from now on.

I will purchase off of Ebay, but will never, ever sell anything through them again.

Re: Maybe getting the shaft on ebay
 

Insurance paid the claim. So it did all work out in the end.

Re: Maybe getting the shaft on ebay
 

:tpd: I agree. I've pretty much quit selling on eBay. Ever since they changed the seller feedback policy, it's not a fair marketplace.

I had a similiar situation happen with some Wii games. Guy said upon receiving the games were all scratched and he demanded his money back. Before he even made a pp claim I sent him the pictures I took of the games before I sent them. He shut up afer that.. I learned early on in life with a bad dealership experience that when merchandise exchanges hands pics are necessary.

Good News! :tu Sorry about your trouble, though, Brother. I've only had one problem with buying an item on E-Bay and P* reimbursed me. I can see a lot of problems occurring, though, with frequent users.:(
