Please do not buy from or sell to the eBay member valvamp1955. He bought a 100% serviceable amp from me, proceeded to do the following:-
1. Receive then OPEN the amp for no apparent reason.
2. Report that an internal fuse had blown then tell me that it seems to have not affected the serviceability of the amp.
3. Wait four days then tell me that the headphone jack was only working in one channel, and wanted a refund. He even said he'd bought it primarily for headphone use(!).
Then begins a nightmare that I'm still trying to unravel. eBay told me to accept the return, not to refund but to report the amp as not received as sent. As it was obvious he had been in the amp without good reason they would rule in my favour.
I accepted the amp back (at my expense) and sent a declaration to the effect that the amp had arrived back to me not 100% serviceable as it had left. Bang; eBay rule in his favour. The funds had been put on hold rightly while the case was open to protect both of us, but as he had 'won' the case he had them refunded to him.
Here's the twist; I received an email to tell me that I had to reimburse eBay the full amount or lose my privileges AND have a collection agency deal with the case. Bear in mind my PayPal transaction says 'refunded'. I speak to eBay and they say as PayPal took charges, there wasn't enough (I guess shy by £7.95, the charge on the payment) to refund the buyer. Holy ships, I'm starting to get extremely stressed with this. It appears from eBay's advice, I need to pay another 'full amount' in the hundreds to take the amount off hold in PayPal.
So, without talking to PayPal yet, it appears that I need to deposit another £227.95 to release the first £227.95 to reimburse eBay. Explain that.
One of the morals of the story though, is do not get into any business dealings with valvamp1955 because if he doesn't fancy what he has bought, he will screw you over royally.
