    So as I said then.

    Do nothing......

    Can only speculate until they return.

    Not necessarily.

    Seller does nothing.

    Buyer doesn't return but gets a refund.....it happens too often.

    The seller needs to be proactive now the funds are held.

    Yes, I know that...but if they aren't proactive now (whether it be due to other circumstances), they could take further action if so required. But it would be a lot more economical to do so now.

    Hi all

    Thanks for the many replies. I sent photos of the damage and original listing pics to ebay, I also filmed the return delivery and the unpacking because I thought buyer might claim that's not how he returned it( which he did)
    i have two beautiful baby boys now :D

    I no longer sell anything of value on ebay, stopped over a year ago. The risks are just not worth it. I only sell on there what I can afford to lose!

    Terrible news. What did they fully say?

    I really think you need to report this to the police ASAP and file a dispute with eBay.

    Could you share with us the "buyer"'s eBay username?
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.
