Hi fella - I have a theory!
Buyer approaches you to buy a defective tv. Why? My suggestion - he decided he would buy it from you - put a screwdriver through the screen himself with a view to making a fraudulent claim against the courier for damaging it.
He consequently discovers that the TV was not covered by the couriers insurance and realises he has therefore wasted £40 squids on a tv he cannot use! As a result, he then decides to get his money back from you.
If he is being a cock, then he has established he is a bit devious! Why else would he have bought this telly which he knew had a defective screen, and then suddenly the other parts of the TV no longer serve his purpose!?!?!
Also - I would remind Ebay that your ad confirmed that the screen was broken - the fact that it is cracked/ smashed should have made no material difference to him!
