Hey all
Just wondering what you would do in my situation.
I bought a Mini Hifi System off ebay for £65 inc. postage.
Today I have discovered that the CD player sometimes gets stuck when you press Open, but sometimes it does work.
I emailed the seller asking if he had noticed this or was it the post ?
I knew it was sent via Parcelforce, so said in my original mail can you please instigate a claim.
To my surprise, got an email from seller saying he knew about this. This was definitely not disclosed on the ad.
What would you do ? I'm tempted to say I want refund.

Surely it's 'Not as described' I'd ask for a full refund inc postage, or maybe you want to keep it and ask for a partial refund due to the fault?I won't buy it if I can make or borrow it instead

I was, for an experiment, looking at this thread on IE and saw a strange box on Jonnys post and wondered if that was what you were referring to earlier. If not then I've got it wrong.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

I'm sure you're right - for some reason they don't display for me after the first couple of times I look at them. All but 4 posts have been deleted, only one of them doesn't have the link in it.
Oh looky, Soo has some inside info:
'quote the post as if you are going to answer it and then hit the little box on the top right hand corner with the A in it and it shows you anything hidden in the post. 'My TV is broken!

As the links do not show up in Firefox, are they as much a problem?I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

It's the principle, rather than the irritation.
If you post for your own financial gain, not only are you meant to declare it, but you don't try to hide it.My TV is broken!
