Default ebay question

Hi all,

Basicly ive sold a dash display on ebay for £16 which was 100% working. Yesterday i get an email saying the packaging looks like it had a hard time and the displays not working and the guys wants a refund.

Obviously i dont want to be out of pocket when ive sold a working unit!

Any ideas where i stand here?

all you can do is ask him to send item back and then give a refund or you end up getting bad feed back ???

probably heard it before, but should have insured the package. When i list things, i state that the item is in full working order and complete and im in no reasons responsible for anything damaged or lost in transit. I also offer insurance at an extra cost to cover the buyer as well as myself

Offer to refund the purchase price (not the postage because you've paid that out) if he posts it back to you at his expense. He'll probably decide he can't be arsed because of how much it costs to send back compared to what he's paid already and you'll never hear from him again. But, at worst, if he does leave you negative feedback you can reply to it saying you offered a refund but he refused and it won't look bad on you. Bish bash bosh, job done.
