Dodgy Ink Cartridge

mimi1234

I'm having a huge clearout at home and recently put a Lexmark 27 ink cartridge. I no longer have a Lexmark printer and was hoping to make a pound or three. It was still boxed and still in the plastic packaging.

It sold to someone in Spain for about £4. The day I sent the item, I had a strange message saying PLEASE CONTACT ME. I replied and said I had sent the package and what the matter was. No response.

A week later, I have had a message saying "Thanks for the ink, but only sky is working". I assume they mean that only blue is working and the tri colour element is not working. I replied and said "Is the ink compatible with your printer" and they said "I think so".

Do I give a full refund straight away, or do I ask for it to be posted back to me? If I ask for it to be posted back, am I liable for the item price, initial posting and return posting?

I think from now on, I will just bin the stuff I have left. It seems to be more hassle than it's worth selling on eBay!

If the cartrages has been knocking about for a while it may have passed it's expiration date (I think they're printed on the packaging).
For the sake of a few quid, it might be worth sucking it up and refunding.
You could ask the buyer to send it back, but that might cause more aggro than it's worth.

It was a Lexmark one which was hanging about for a few months in my room.

I think you are right, I may as well refund and take it on the chin.
