If someone buys your item from buyer, send their buyer a message with a screenshot of the message from your buyer saying how smelly and dirty the item is, that should put their buyer off paying! I did something similar when someone bought some clothing off me that I'd sold as used for a few years, they tried to resell it as brand new with tags (they'd got a bag and tag from the right shop and photographed my item with it to make it look like they'd just bought it from the shop) - I sent a message to their bidder alerting them to my auction and the winner of that particular auction, and they retracted their bid. Serves sellers like that right. Bit stupid to buy and resell on the same account when you're trying to scam people!

i would be getting a friend to buy it and say the same to her when you receive it
might cost you a couple of quid though

I would never allow myself to be blackmailed like that by a buyer. Personally, I'd rather have the item returned for a full refund then sell it again.
