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

And would you be happy getting face value back when you'd paid £1,150, I know I wouldn't :mad:

So on that basis when I buy my OH a book published in the 1980s for £12.99 but pay £97 (a true example) for it as it is scarce I should happily accept only £12.99 back from the seller if the book fails to arrive. Likewise the 1962 paperback book I sold for £99 originally cost something like 2/6d, I cna see a wonderful scam here ..I look at all the £100 books currently on Amazon, list one and then when I get a buyer don't bother sending it as I don't actually have a copy, and just refund the original RRP instead. Does that honestly look right or do i look stupid?

By all means have sellers refuse to pay and let the courts decide, but don't make up daft reasons to justify it. Be honest, if sellers are too greedy to refund in full admit it, don't pretend the refund is being refused for any logical reason.

Ok, if you had read properly you would know that PAYPAL are refunding accounts so thr buyer has the money straight away, it is the sellers account that will be negative and that is why I said they would arrange a plan with PAYPAL not the buyer.

And Soolin, I do not hide the fact that I am a ticket reseller, it is a very prosperous business, I work hard to deliver a level of customer service beyond what people expect. I know the majority or people dont like it, but to be honest I dont really care, I have NEVER had any negative feedback in 2 years and I am fortunate enough to have cash in the bank to cover if tickets are voided.

Mozette, how would you know who you are selling to is one of these elusive genuine fans you all bang on about ? You could just as esily be selling to a ticket reseller who will take the profit.

To me, it doesnt matter if you buy something for £1 or £100, If the market value of it is more, it is your right (please dont go on about T's&C's as these arent legally binding) to sell it on.

Hi there
Im in exactly the same situation, like you I sold 4 tickets to a concert I couldnt attend (and for all those expressing a TOUT opinion, I bought the tickets and then couldn't go, so listed them on ebay and made a profit)

I contacted the buyers they day it happened, and have been in close communication with them, I have now asked them to start a paypal claim (paypal have extended it to apply to ALL MJ tickets) as I cannot refund the money until I get the money from ticketmasters (which will take 21 days) and then once the refund has been processed ebay and paypal will refund the fees.

This will leave me with a negative paypal balance

Paypal have debt collectors who chase negative balances, however they are not unreasonable, they will accept repayment that you can afford

(please remember at this point your buyers HAVE been refunded)

Its just a case of you trying to repay PAYPAL with the difference

Hope this helps, Im in the same boat, I wish I had £500 lying around to refund but unfortunately not!
