    Due to their response i have requested that i send the item back to them for a full refund. (Not covering my postage costs, i'm not so bothered about that).

    So you are returning an item that is undamaged, and in working order because the box is damaged?

    The thread title is misleading, the item was not damaged, but the box was.

    Seems a little petty to me, did you buy it as a present for someone, is this why you need the box? Did the ebay ad state that the box was included and in good condition?
  • Does not matter.

    Item was described as new. If the box is damaged then it is not "as new."

    I would suggest that the OP reports the seller as circumventing fees if they really believe that the postage is excessive.

    It was intended as a present. The Ebay photo showed the box.

    The item although undamaged is not 'as new' as they have plastered the guitar with stickers that come with it, all the manuals are missing also.
  • I think your being too fair. Destroying the box for an item reduces the value you can sell it on for.
