Buyer is calming jewellery is fake

Maybe so. My emgagement ring has 1.25 pts on the inside of the band. It did come with a anchor diamond certificate though. Been speaking about this to a colleague whilst on a break. She said lots of buyers do this on ebay to get something for nothing. Preloved has much different rules than ebay eg you can't open a case for item not as described. They say it is up to both parties to resolve the matter. The buyer contacted them but they told him because he got the receipt he should take it up with the store it came from. If he does contact me today I will just repeat what I said yesterday evening.

As I said up thread, I've bought some jewellery from eBay - only silver, mainly set with malachite, lapis etc.

Not looked at preloved before - and don't like the sound of it.
Sounds really stupid (not to say wrong from a consumer rights perspective) to tell the buyer to take it up with the store - given the fact that he didn't buy it from them and the purchase was 13 years ago anyway and not by the OP personally.

Any reason you chose that website over eBay?

But, as established on your other thread, you purchased that ring from another mass-market jeweller with a poor quality stone. Even my stone jewellery from Georg Jensen and Tiffany aren't marked or certified.

I'm having a problem believing anyone suggested the buyer now has receipt he has to deal with original seller. The contract is between you and your buyer. If he was to go to police, it's you the police would question and charge if found guilty of selling fake items.

I really hope we get an update on this.

I too find what Paypal are saying very odd:

Last week paypal told me as the buyer received the original proof of purchase it is up to him to contact the store. A colleague also mentioned today that since the buyer has both item and receipt it's no longer my problem and he should ask lesley Davies for a refund if the stones are not diamonds, because if they are (which they couldn't be) lesley Davies are in breach of contract and he is now the owner of the item. When I sold the item to him and provided proof of purchase.cost and the receipt states diamond it's lesley Davies not myself who need to rectify this matter.

Not to mention the extremely dubious opinion of the OP's colleague who thinks the OP's buyer should ask the original store for a refund 13 years down the line. :rotfl:

I havent heard from the buyer since his last phone call. He has probably realised he can't scam me.

Bath_cube

He has given it One last try. I got a call on my way to work. Says he will return it if I refund but he wants to keep the receipt. My reply was I want the receipt and box as well or do one. He huffed oh ok I'm keeping it and hung up. My partner has bought me a monica vinadet necklace in the sale. An early Christmas gift I can wear to a wedding next month. It is marked as 925 silver but doesn't have a certificate or points hallmark. It's a full one carat of diamonds I'm chuffing happy with it.

Just goes to show that what we were telling you about it not being the norm for carat weight to be engraved on silver jewellery was correct.

Monica Vinader?
Looks very over-priced to me.
Most expensive necklace on their website has .84 carat of diamonds set in silver priced at £1950.
How much? :eek:

ETA:
Yes, your buyer was clearly trying it on.
Unscrupulous scumbag.

Did you really tell the OP that the buyer was clearly trying it on?
I thought that you only suspected this.
