    I really can't believe the OP has refused to refund based in a cardboard divide missing from a phone box.

    The original thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4771576

    I know what you mean, but if a private individual sells something, why should they be forced to make a refund?

    You implied that anyone can offer £1 per month on any debt and they then couldn't be taken to court. That is obviously nonsense, it always depends on the circumstances of the debtor. Have a look at your original posts.


    Listen! You can offer as little as £1 per month. That is the recommended amount to offer. The budget form is filled in by the debtor, there is no proof required. So what you put down is what they have to believe. Even if it goes to court the judge can order more, but it's not a criminal offence so if you don't pay, then the bailiffs can come, but if you never give them access, or leave a door or window open they can do nothing.

    I hope it is clear to you now.

    what is clear is you don't have a clue how the bailiffs work.

    and that's the worst advice ive ever heard to lie on a official form. stick to pregnancy advice for job seekers.

    some people eh!!

    You need to get your son to explain it to you, or if he thinks that is accurate he needs to resign, quickly.

    OK i sold a phone, it was returned and cosmetically damaged, and de valued, eBay decided to refund the buyer and charge me the full amount.

    I am refusing to refund eBay for their bad decision, what can eBay do about that? I have already cancelled and removed paypal from my bank so they can't stealthily take funds from my account, its the end of eBay for me i will not be using it again to buy or sell.


    all this fuss over a scumbag bad seller on ebay. you should be thoroughly ashamed of your self. anybody that has been had over on ebay then its by someone like this. you may not be ashamed of yourself but im sure there are plenty on here that are and hold you in utter contempt.
    you are surely nothing to be proud of.
    shame on you, you haven't even had the courtesy to post in 2 days.
    glad your off ebay, you dirty dog.

    Not quite sure where your comment was leading, but I think you have confused posts.

    Below is a link to what they can do, which confirms what I have said.

    Take the buyer to small claims court for goodness sake! Its ebays fault as much as yours so why should they lose out while you pocket the cash and the phone?!

    Your buyer sounds unreasonable but ebay is better without sellers like yourself as well!
