    I do, you either want it or you don't.

    If you don't want it thats fine but you return it before you get a refund.

    This buyer has only made two [STRIKE]requests[/STRIKE] demands and they were;

    1- give me all my money back and i'll keep the item too...

    OR

    2- ok then just give me £30 back and let me keep the item.

    I'd say no, return for full refund or keep at price paid.

    on the flip side,the buyer paid for an item the seller specifically misdescribed
    as i suggested before,they could have used a 3rd party as an escrow
    the OP was the one who was keen to do the partial
    i dont know about the touch,but for my 5th gen i can source both OEM power switches and cases
  • Ive given the refund

    My god now hes saying its not in his bank ive spent the last hour telling him i have paid it over the counter at his bank and provided him with a over the counter stubb proof but he still saying its not in there

    you feel £30 is too much for a broken power button and undisclosed engraved(damaged) case?

    Then engraving was missed out by the OP which he's admitted. The power button is only claimed to not work, which seems like a convenient excuse.

    The buyer is quite clearly a scammer, and the OP would be an idiot to refund. If it's that "damaged", then he might as well return it for a full refund.

    EDIT - just read the OP's latest post, and he's refunded! Muppet!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    this is from the AV forums thread
    You PM'd me (after I paid) to tell me that "You've installed something that means you have to turn it on with the cable in". That being SBsettings

    What you didn't tell me in another omission is that the Power button actually does not work AT ALL because it's a HW fault. I have reset the iPod to factory settings and it just doesn't work.

    How can I possibly sell on an iPod with "Happy Birthday matt love bianca" and with a non-working Power button without losing a lot of money

    Are you willing to refund me?

    I have also PM'd you this message in the hope that you haven't just done a

    runner with my money.

    so there was an issue which again the OP didnt mention in the sale post
    and the buyer asks for a refund
  • ex postie u seem to be a member of AV Forums i guess not a MOD are u?

    The Power button was working when i sent it ok i forgot to mention the engraving but like i said it didnt bother me funny thing is i have deposited the money in this jerks bank and he is still saying i havent paid it into his bank even though i have posted a pic of the counter reciept, oh and hes now disappeared and not saying a thing about the money

    OH and i have offered him a full refund but only if he posted the ipod back to me so i could examine it and make sure it was mine

    Yes av forum goes by ratings also so why believe a guy with 1 feedback which he got over 12mnths ago? yeah i got 2 but mine were in the last week

    SO WHY THE FXXK am i the SCAMMER sorry but im getting piXXed now
  • I have also PM'd you this message in the hope that you haven't just done a

    so lets get this straight
    a few weeks ago i worked for eBay
    then i worked for a parcel company
    then another time i was a covert PR rep for Royal Mail
    now Im a mod on AV forums

    for you information,I registered to view the link in this thread
    not that I need to justify myself
    you are the one who withheld info on an item you were selling
    or do you dispute theres an issue with powering on/off the unit
    and it is engraved?
    neither of which you chose to mention in the ad?

    so i suggest you take care of you business and dont even think of diverting abuse to me,these shoulders are more than big enough to take it but they dont have to

    my buyers dont get surprises when they buy from me
