Item still has store security tag on.

Thanks for the replies, have told seller that I'm not taking back to any store without original proof of purchase and have requested her details to return for full refund.

But then it'll show on your internet browing history you've been looking at these kinds of videos and make you look bad. I wouldn't look at those kinds of videos on my own or my work computer.:eek:

LMAO, are you always that paranoid?

What difference would it possibly make if you had looked at a video on Youtube for how to remove a security tag?

I had cause to watch a few of these a few months back when I bought a bear for DD from a charity shop. The ink tag from Clintons or wherever it had been shoplifted from was still attached to the bear. Whoever had been given the bear probably felt guilty and donated it to the charity shop who didn't have the equipment to remove it. They were going to bin the bear so I gave them a couple of pounds and after watching a Youtube vid managed to remove the ink tag myself with no damage to me or bear.

Now, I'm yet to receive a visit from Police, FBI etc etc. So I have to ask, why would it possibly make me, OP or anyone else look bad?

Seller agreed to refund upon return, I will do recorded so can be tracked, will wait to see if get my postge back....doubt it.

I assume returning not via a case is ok? Obviously will keep messages.

Best solution all round. Unless the seller has easy returns activated (and as a private seller they probably won't) a case would give them a black mark, so it's not necessary and actually detrimental to keeping them onside.

Daily Mail - never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

You are aware the coat was bought on the black market and not officially a Mulberry product. I suspect her friend is going to have some explaining to do when he returns from his holiday. It essentially boils down to her try to return a fake, so it's really not very surprising she was quite rightly arrested.

Yes I am aware, it is there clearly in the link I posted:

She insists the explanation is simple. Unbeknown to her, her friend had bought the jacket direct from the East London manufacturer.

Hopefully she can still sue for wrongful arrest though.

I'd also ask the seller in the message to pay for return postage. If she won't, then I might be tempted to suggest that she's selling stolen goods, so you will be reporting her to her local police.

Any decent seller who makes a mistake like this really should pay return postage, and if they don't, think long and hard about what feedback to leave...
