Bad traders

Hi @ColnagoDaft,

In response to your points:

An offer of a brand new Shimano BB was made. Rejected.

A partial refund was offered. Rejected.

I'd like to point out that these offers were made well after this conversation had started. It was only after I'd been told he'd turn up on my doorstep and already opened the PayPal dispute that he said he'd "stick a BB in the post". No mention of a brand new Shimano BB.
I asked for £40, he responded with "£20. Final offer."

I rejected the refund because it wasn't an amount I consider sufficient.

A full refund was offered. Buyer pays return postage, which is pretty fair as my mate has shelled out postage on outward leg.

If the frame hadn't been miss-sold I'd agree to this. Absolutely.

I'm happy to post the entire text message thread on here for all to see. But I don't think anyone wants that.

I have nothing to hide.
