    Personally I wouldnt agree to the cancellation As it all sounds a but fishy to me. How do you damage a bag just after you sell it. If i was the seller I would have sent you a photo of proof.

    Your choices as far as I see them are

    1/ Agree to the cancellation so they get the FVF back

    2/ Ask for a photo of the damage before you will agree to the cancellation :D

    3/ Start a Paypal claim for INR

    4/ Dont do anythhing just leave it

    Whatever you do I would make the decision now and move on, its not worth much more of your time. If you are a seller also I would block both those IDs from bidding on your auctions (a bit of Paranoia never hurts)

    Well, before I posted, I thought about just leaving it, but that was before i'd thought maybe it was to do with fees being refunded and I don't want to be mean to the seller, as they may be genuine.

    I agree it's not worth much of my time, so i'll make a decision tonight when I get in, based on what you good folk say.

    I don't sell, but I guess it would not hurt to block a couple of ID's, just incase I take selling up. :D

    I wouldn't agree to the cancel transaction request, then they get their fees back and can relist, as it doesn't sound like it all adds up about being damaged. It all sounds a bit dodgy to me, but I suppose I'm really suspicious.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of suspicion and Paranoia;)

    I'm suspicious too :o

    I thought i'd ask you folk, as you are way more knowledged than me and last time I asked for advice, it was very helpful (even if I mis-read/mis-understood it :o )

    I won't leave any more responses here until I get home tonight, but if anyone else has any other views, they would be appreciated (on topic please :D )

    I'm not sure how much they would get back on £17.02 fvf, not that it's my business, but if it's pennies, it would make the decision easier, as if it's a few quid, i'd feel guilty just incase they were genuine!

    Anyway, as cyberbob says, I can put too much into this, so shall forget it until I get home tonight and deal with it and any responses from you lot, then.

    Thanks :D

    10%? Didn't imagine it was that much that eBay took.

    I'll ignore it and see if they'll go away. I wasn't happy the sale was cancelled in the first place.

    You should decline it, they will definitely not get their fees back then, which they don't deserve if theywon't even send you photo proof of the "damage"..

    Would ignoring not do the same thing?

    Until I agree to cancellation, they can't refund fees can they?

    They wouldn't send any proof, just have to take their word for it.
  • If they WOULDN'T send any proof, I'd decline.
