    I think you are tying to pull a fast one all for £3, i think the door is beige and you are saying it white to get everyone to side with you :p


    no just pulling your leg they definatly look white to me
    but as another poster mentioned if you dont offer a refund then they seem petty enough that they will open a paypal dispute for snad and we all know what paypal are like the buyer will get there refund and you will probably then be left with a neg from your buyer who i agree needs to go to specsavers

    bloody hell some people complain about anything

    for £3 can you really see the point in complaining?

    I won a white skirt once, it arrived, now it wasn't brilliant white, but it was white
    I think I paid £3 as well, if I decided it wasn't the right shade I would simply sell it on myself, sheesh:rolleyes:

    I can't find the button for 'The following user says *raspberry* to this post'! :rotfl::rotfl:

    No, i promise you the door is white. It's white. It's a white door, painted white, with white paint from a pot marked 'Brilliant White' which we got from the 'White Paint' section in B & Q.

    And the trousers are white too, as I will be able to ascertain when I get them back - because of course you are all correct and I will have to accept the return from the blind woman, who presumably carries what she thinks is a CREAM stick. :D

    Ho hum.

    Thanks for indulging me anyway :rotfl:
    No, Mr A, that is NOT 'Great news'!!:D

    Wombling totals: Oct = £243.32 - £93.32 over target!
    Nov Wombling Tally: £27.36 so far... behind target :(

    In that case, I'd say they are white. :D

    I'd go back to her and say that they are white, in your opinion; but colour being subjective, you are happy to refund if they are sent back. I'd also point out that the door is white, whiter than a white thing that has been painted white; and as can be seen from the photo; the colours are ridiculously similar; but you will have a jolly good look once you get the trousers back.

    I had to look twice, I thought Baldrick was on here.

    I sold a pair of Oasis trousers on ebay, the buyer has just emailed to say 'thanks for swift delivery. However I am disapoointed they are not as described, the colour you described is white and they are cream. Please advise'.

    'Please advise'. I've been seeing this coded passive-aggressive BS phrase a lot of late. I take it to mean 'Offer a partial refund or you'll get it in the F/B'.

    Perhaps I will reply - 'They looked white to me. I don't know what to say to you. Please advise' ;)

    In the cold light of day, I have just read through her feedback profile and she seems quite trigger-happy with the neg/neutral buttons. With that in mind, I have sent her a message saying I'm sorry she's not happy with the trousers and I'm prepared to refund her the £3 purchase price and she can keep the bl**dy things.
