Might be worth arranging this before he fucks it with a chemical that doesn't like composite.
Or be like, sure, you can have a refund after you've returned it.

There is no sensible option other than offer a refund before he even starts any chemical process. Once it is returned, refund and then sort it out yourself and re-list.

I think it’s something you risk when buying a secondhand frame and not your problem.
If you’re still in the buyer protection window the decision might be made for you though.

Wondering what people think about this current ebay predicament.
I sold a nice carbon frameset in lovely condition a few weeks back. The seller was very happy until last night I had a message to say that one of the bottle cage bolts is seized and he can't remove it. He subsequently sent me a message to say if he can't free it he wants a refund. (He said he would soak it in wd40 and see if that does the trick first).
Of course I didn't think to check those bolts.. My thinking is, if he can't free it using a variety of pretty standard methods available first, I will suggest to pay for it to be removed professionally. I feel this would be the appropriate response to this since he wanted the frameset, not send it back as if there's no way to remove a siezed up bolt?
Can anyone share their thoughts..?
