eBay.

[Metric.]

I sold a car stereo on eBay about 18 months ago. It was a 6-disc indash cd changer, XM radio, climate controls. This stereo was removed from my car and was sitting in a box in my basement, so I decided to sell it on eBay! I got like $400 for it, no warranty was expressed or implied, buyer was responsable for installation and to make sure the unit would fit their car.

Today I got an email that was from the buyer saying it broke?

I don't know what to reply back with? It's not my fault it broke, and number 2 it's a 5 year-old unit, he bought it a year and a half ago?

I don't think it's my fault?

[Jord]

Hahah message him back and say What am I ment to do about that?

Don't worry about it. If he bought it from you on eBay a year-and-a-half ago, there's nothing he can do. He can't complain to eBay and make a dispute on PayPal. Just say that he's had it in his possession long enough, and that you have washed your hands of it.

[Metric.]

all I know is that it worked perfectly fine for the week I had it and the only reason I sold it was because I bought a nav unit instead!

[Misawa]

Seriously, don't worry about it. Hell, ignore him.

[Metric.]

Seriously, don't worry about it. Hell, ignore him.

I'm not worried about it. In just confused? He also wants the vin off my car for something.

[Misawa]

He'll probably buy it off you and use it as an excuse to launch a PayPal dispute. Or not.

[Recursion]

Tell him to **** off in a nice way.

[cocaine]

tell him that once he bought it it was his responsibility

[Boxiel]

Tell him to **** off in a nice way.

Yup what he said.. I would just delete the email and get on with life.

[Antony]

dont give him any of your car details, if he asks for model then yeah thats it. as people have replied above, just reply telling him its nothing to do with you now as it was fully working when you had it, and its been in his possession for some time. you are covered by paypal & ebay...

[jesus]

If you sold it them 18 months ago then it's their fault. :S

[lew!]

hes probbaly dropped it or something, If it arrived broke, then it would be different, it might of been postage, but 18 months down the line? His fault for breaking it isnt it.

[Charlie]

If it was 18 months ago, and then it broke, it's nothing to do with you. If when he got it was broke then I'd understand but there is nothing you can or should do about it now. Just ignore the guy.

[Jellybeans]

Sounds like its his fault it "broke" and he wants to blame you

Tell him its not your problem as it worked when you had it

[alexxxxx]

Eh. The cheek of some people!

[Metric.]

I sent him an e-mail and told him that I was not responsable for it, especially 18 months later.

[Firehorse]

If it was a year and a half ago then it probably broke when he was using it. Ask him that and if he says it was broken when he got it then say he should have told you then. Simple. If he does open any paypal dispute then he doesn't have a chance.

[awelsh]

tell us what he replies if you get one back :P seems kinda stupid of him to contact you 18months later about it though

[brandon]

That's the risk when you buy second-hand items off eBay. Aslong as it works for a couple of weeks after you've bought it you're then responsible for any damage.

[Metric.]

It's been installed in his car for 18 months too!

[GhostFace-]

tell him its his now.

[Crazy Bartender]

Well politely tell him to **** right off. If it was in working condition when you sold it you don't need to worry ;)

If I bought it from you and 18 months later I smashed it I wouldn't ask for money back.

[Metric.]

Haha, I told him it wasn't my problem and I sold the car and I don't have the VIN number.

[-Xiangu-]

tell us his reply :P

[blanky12!]

Interesting.


His an *** hole

Tell him to go **** a sheep.

18months? LOL
