    Under case law I dont think one blender would necessarily class you as selling for trade purposes even if that was your intention to make a profit - it might be different if it was a 50k unit.

    the question is - is using it with wet hands a fault or is that just expected behaviour?

    I should have made myself clearer in my original thread that I am not a trader in the slightest. I just don't like people assuming. It is my fault for letting the person assume and for me not making myself clear.

    I actually bought it to sell on and make a few quid.

    Buying ANYTHING, whether it be one item or 100 items, that you intend to sell on for a profit is trading, thus making you a trader/business.

    By all means get your buyer to deal with the manufacturer, but it would be easier for you to give them a refund, then get a refund from the person you bought it from.

    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!)
  • Meh.

    You showed them in person the product and they accepted it. Let them deal with it. I get small electric shocks from computers all the time, doesn't stop me using them.

    And I get them from Tesco shopping trolleys. Part and parcel of life.

    I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Esculators are the worst for shocks!

    Personally whether it could be classed as 'trading' or not, if its just a one-off I wouldn't be seeing me out of pocket dealing with it -- the manufacturer will sort her out.

    Out of curiosity, what case law are you referring to?
