helhol Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone has ever had a dispute with ebay regarding something you sold. i sold a phone for £230 in full working order with 4gb sd card, plastic film on screen too, it was a 2 month old BB torch. the person had it for 2 weeks then said i had sold him a broken phone. he has asked for money back, i refused, he sent phone back to me, minus sd card, with a 02 sim (not mine), plastic film off screen, damaged charging socket , then opened a dispute. my money on hold now and when case closes i will have to pay him then appeal my case!!! surely anyone could try this trick and rip people off, if was not working since he got it on 17th dec as he says , but just wrapped it up to give as a gift!!!, surely this is odd behaviour, as i know it was working as i charged it up for him , i feel a rip off coming on, do you think my appeal will go in my favour and with a sim in it and sd card missing it looks like he has been using it and bust it.

Rich Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've never had a dispute on eBay, but I do know that in most cases they tend to side with the buyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsexydoug Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 have you checked the phones emei number to make sure youve got the original one back ? ive heard of this being done before, but obviously you would have had to take a note of the number before you sent it off, sometimes its on the side of the box too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
