Ebay buyer delema. Opinions?

[SuperNovaSS]

I do not think he has had it repaired yet. I personally think he tried to hook up the tach himself, possibly to a late model ignition, could not get it to work(broke it), then sent it to the repair shop. I am always one to try to look at both side of the story but am having trouble with this one. If I take the tach back then I get back less than I original sold since the tach was working when I sold it.

Thanks again for all the help,

Jason

he blew it up and is probably this new generation of return'ers I call them, I see them at Home Depot, Freddies, etc...standing in line getting there money back for stuff they used to do a job with or have buyers remorse after they opened it and mucked with it and now have the sack to want there dough back in full, messes it up for the honest folks, we get to pay more to cover the stores losses on stuff.

Jason hit your pms, Bud.

2 months later, I'd tell him to pound salt. Sounds like he's trying to put one over on ya.

I would drag it out another month....after that time it's too late for him to leave you negative feedback Then tell him "Sorry, Charlie"

Even though it has been two months, I'd suggest calling UPS to file a claim. Although there's lots of supposition here about what the buyer MAY have done, you're not sure of anything other than it worked when you sent it and now it doesn't. It MAY have been damaged in shipment, and by contacting UPS you're showing good faith to the buyer.

If UPS says it's too late to file a claim, THEN you should tell the seller that his complaint fell outside the insurance window, and that's what he paid shipping w/insurance for. You can't give a 'lifetime' warranty.

Put yourself in the buyer's shoes -- if you were him, what would you want the seller to do at this point?

Depending on what the repair bill is, UPS may be willing to pay the repair, rather than the cost of the item (or whatever you insured it for). I've gone the repair route with UPS before with satisfactory results.

Good luck, BCD.

I think that sounds like some good advice BCD.

my 2 cents,
I had the same problem with 69 camaro console gauges I sold on ebay and was told they worked when I purchased box finds of stuff but the buyer said all the gauges were no good, what to do I paid for 2 new repop gauges and he paid for 2 repop gauges and now the problem is gone and again my 2 cents only is pay for half of the repair bill and remove that stress from your life.
