Ebay is a buyers market with very little protection for sellers.
Buyers remorse is no problem for a buyer...just come up with an excuse and the seller will have to accommodate so as to protect his rating.
Here`s a good story if you like bad endings.
I sold a nice Adcom 555 on Ebay. Right after the amp sold, the buyer asks me if I knew where he can get HIS repaired (said he had the same exact amp). Straight off the flags are going up.
I immediately inform both Ebay and PayPal that I`m concerned that the buyer will simply harvest the parts he needs then claim the amp didn`t work on arrival.
I explained that some parts are only available via another donor.
Both sides (Ebay/Paypal) said "we got your back"
Well guess what, the amp arrived with a "channel out" according the buyer.
Contacted Ebay and Paypal...To no avail. I had to take it back.
When I got it back it was obvious the top plate had been off. I Had to take my now broken amp back, refund him the entire amount AND pay the return shipping.
On top of that I had to pay Ebay their selling fees because I contested it !!!
And check this:
Ebay told me that he could have sent me back a box of rocks and I would have no way to prove he didn`t send me back my amp.
She said it would be a your word vs his and blah blah blah...
Ebay protects themselves.
