selling on ebay

[da SLUG man]

howdy!

sold some speakers on eBay a few weeks back and now the fella's saying that there's a problem with them.
I've contacted the people i bought them from and they say the 1 yr warranty ran out in February.

can the bloke claim as faulty and want his money back, even after leaving good feedback?? (private sale)

a plus on my side is that he paid cash, but the negative is that it was £900!!

check your ad,see if u put/clicked returns accepted,if not they are sold as seen

Hmmmm, a difficult one this. On one side I'd be really pee'd off if I had paid £900 and something went wrong after a few weeks, on the other I'd also be pee'd off if I sold a working item and then someone complained it was 'iffy'!

What is he saying is wrong with them? Crackle, buzz, feedback? Did he connect them up correctly? How does he know it's not his system at fault?

A lot of variables to consider.

Bugga!!

didn't see that bit!!

How long ago? How did he pay? I assume you security marked them to prove the ones he returns are the ones you sold?

[da SLUG man]

says they've got a serious driver problem...
seems strange that he'd not try them before now... he bought them 10th June, but only emailed yesterday to say he'd tried them saturday and one was faulty.

He's at it. If I paid the best part of a grand for a pair of speakers, I'd try them right away.

Tell me you security marked them!

but did u click returns???

on ad it says returns accepted within 14 days... i didn't select it, but i guess it must be an automatic thing??

it's over 14 days anyway

Also worth telling him that if he had paid through PayPal he would have their in-sewer-ants (sorry, couldn't resist!) to clain on.

As it stands, I get a few people trying it on, waiting a month and then saying it was never selivered.
That is where the art of Sign on delivery comes to my aid!

My professional advice would be:
It could be his system that has caused the damage, if they left you as a known working item, then tell him to time travel back and come and check the item before bidding.
If he won't do that, then sorry mate, it the good old S.E.P
