seller taken to county court - it does happen!

As a seller it worries me a great deal. If buyers think that buying items unseen on ebay means sellers do not have responsibility to rectify things if item is damaged or not as described then they won't buy, and bang goes my business.
As above though a deeper reading would suggest that there is more to this than meets the eye.
You're a business so the rules are different and it could actually lead to MORE people buying from you as a Registered Business Seller on Ebay because they know they'd have statutory rights in law that don't apply to private sales.0 -

A lot of buyers don't differentiate between business and private accounts. If buyers think that ebay means no protection then I lose out regardless of being a business.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
