Re: Argh, need some ebay advice!

Your nuts. the guy has no recall, you described the wath as best you could not being a watch expert. He saw hi res pictures and could ask you any questions before hand. I'd have stood my ground I think he's taking a lend.

I would email him saying if he's willing to send it back you would issue a full refund and you can sell it to watch.co.uk for 1500.

He left a nice feedback message on Ebay to
"Wonder seller. Extremely honest - went above and beyond. Highly Recommended!"

Both buyer and seller are happy. Sounds like an ideal transaction to me!

Tell him to shove the watch up his ... and go buy a Timex.

I'm on your side.. There's a tiny issue with his purchase for which he took the risk.

" It's probably in need of some restoration work, as I don't believe it's had any in the past "

Thats good enough for me and what exactly can he do about it and even so how long will it take including legal costs ?

PS Nice watch btw

Sounds good to me that does, you takes your chances on Ebay he took his chances and lost I'm afraid, he should have looked closer at the pictures he'd have noticed the discrepancies.

Re: Argh, need some ebay advice!

I think this highlights the problem with EBay - and I've nothing against either of these people - but I personally would never spend more money on there than I could afford to lose.

In the end, I think that the situation has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction. It's a shame with E-Bay that this sort of error is bound to crop up. The vendor doesn't know the complete history of the watch, and even if he had removed the back (not advisable as they're a bugger to put back), then there's no difference in the two backs apparently visible. The only way that the purchaser knew there was a problem - he took it in for repairs, which he knew were needed to some extent.

Gonna negotiate with him and offer him a partial refund
I wouldn't feel right otherwise.

I'd just ignore his email. If he wants a refund for not as described let him take it through the proper channels (paypal) or nothing at all.

Remember if you DO offer a partial refund he can still make a claim through paypal if he wants to...

Well to be quite frank I'm glad Adam didn't take our advice and has solved the matter very amicably - what a gentleman indeed.

Someone please place a Halo over Adam (maybe theres one there already ?)
