• New one for me:

    bought a Campag seatpost to discover that it wasn't as described-much poorer visual state than in pics (looks like it had pretty bad corrosion/pitting cleaned off with steel wool) and also damage to clamp bolt.

    Opened returns process on ebay, seller accepts but doesn't send shipping label.

    I ask seller if he expects me to pay for return shipping when it wasn't as described, he then issues a full refund as he says that he doesn't want to pay for ebay shipping label 'if its as bad as you say it is you'll kindly chuck it in the bin'

    needless to say as if you're not wanting to pay a few quid return postage, why are you then just chucking the seatpost, even if just for spares?

    I'm not keen to fork out my own cash to return it, but equally I feel a cunt for just keeping it. In the cynical world of ebaying I'm also wondering if there's some kind of comeback if I don't too?

  • 'if its as bad as you say it is you'll kindly chuck it in the bin'

    If google translate had an ebay seller speak option that'd come back as something along the lines of, "I knew it was a shiter so why would I want it back."

    Has happened to me a few times. Other times the seller will just ignore your request and you end up with a full refund and no need to return.

    If you feel bad about it, why not drop it into a bicycle recyling project or something, someone there might take the time to give it a bit of love or they'll sell it to someone that will.

    If refund has been issued then I think the matter is finished with in the eyes of ebay. The seller will have cancelled the sale as well in order to have the final value fee refunded.
