paypal dispute sold 3 months ago

Hi

just received a opened case against me for "defective or not as described. "

sold November and they have stated in the case that it does not work properly

no feedback left for item

i think its a case of buyers remorse says hes "tried" to contact me but obviously not tried at all

whats the best was to proceed as its raised in paypal i am not sure of the best way forward to protect myself

item was £105

Comments

    It's always worth phoning PayPal, I've always found them helpful.

    Point out the length of time they have had the item and that it was sold without a warranty (assuming that is the case). Stress however that if item is going to be refunded that you want it back at buyers expense.

    My recent problem buyer (different scenario) tried this route and I spoke to PayPal a couple of times and in the end they refunded him but also released my funds so that it did not cost me anything.
