so i opened a dispute with ebay , the buyer was supposed to then select" the buyer and seller mutually agreed to not complete this transaction" option which would mean i get my fee back, But no! tonight i get a message from ebay stating the the buyer wishes to complete the transaction[he did this so stop me claiming back fee] and also the message below left in the dispute column on ebay, he hasnt actually emailed me directly in over 4 days.
"The seller must pay postage costs both ways £30 + £40 PLUS A REASONABLE amount for wasting my time
and risking my family with tyres advertised as BRAND NEW but which were in fact manufactured in the
20th week of 2003 i.e. were 5 years old. (Not disclosed on advert). Both KwikFit and HiQ refused to
fit these tyres as they were more than 2 years old. mytyres.co.uk state that any tyre more than 2
years old is classed by the tyre trade as NOT NEW. I accept a refund from the seller for £100"
I'd just tell him to get fucked, they've never been fitted so as far as most normal people are concerned they are new. Tell him to stop being so anal and just fit the bloody things.
Edit, as for the 'reasonable amount for wasting my time...' tell him where to go mate
