Michael Jackson Tickets

*LoopyLaura*

Morally you need to refund your buyer straight away, it's hardly their fault that you've spent the money & don't have any left to pay back. Not that any of us expected him to pass away so it's not unreasonable for you to have spent the money already but that is not your buyers fault & as someone mentioned earlier, why should they have to subsidise you?
Long story but I was saddled with a debt by an ex on our then joint account, PP hassled me for a short while & they WILL get the money out of you in a very short space of time. Up to you to raise the cash or even take out a loan to pay them back, I don't believe you bought the tickets with any intention to go so I for one am pleased that the tickets are coming back to bite touts on the backside!

As soon as its a ticket being seold, why do people automaticaly assume the seller is a tout. If you had tickets to something that you couldnt go to, or couldnt afford anymore what would you do ? Just throw them away ? Pathetic

In answer to your original question, while I could not gaurantee this would happen, I would expect Paypal to agree to a repayment plan with you (im not sure £50 would be enough though), If they were to send it to a debt agency you could take it to court and prove that you in good faith had tried to agree to a repayment contract and £50 would be more than enough.

If they are not an official business technically they are a tout. So the assumption is correct

Im not going to argue "the toss" with you Cyberbob, Im not 12 years old anymore. I think its like Spaghetti Bolgnaise recipes, everyones got their own opinion.

I would deem a tout as someone who INTENTIONALLY buys a ticket to sell on at an inflated price. Not someone who makes a profit out of somehting they cannot use. Just my view though.

And Assumption as they say is the mother of all *** Up's.

If you had paid £1150 for something and then it isnt supplied, would you be happy with £50 a month (or thereabouts) as your refund?

You could do what I've always done when I've had a ticket I can't use and sell them for what they cost you (i.e., face value plus booking fee & postage etc)

Strange though how so many private sellers had tickets listed within seconds of them going on sale! You buy at 10am and by 10-01 you've got an emergency and need to sell the tickets desperately at 100% mark up but are not a business seller as they are your tickets and you don't consider yourself a tout.

Oh please.

If these tickets were sold on Ebay then it was the choice of the buyer to pay more then face value + booking fee + postage.
They chose to pay £1150 for something worth less - they didn't have to bid up to that amount.
Why shouldn't they just be entitled to a refund of the face value cost?
Yep unfortunate that they can't go to the concert they paid for but that is not the responsibility of the seller who offered the tickets for sale in good faith and didn't force anyone to buy them.

My view anyway
