theflyingdutchman Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi,so here my story…I sold a watch 4 months ago, that now broke with the new owner. Now the buyer wants a +/- full refund. He says that he never wore, as it is a summer watch. I offered to fix it for him for free, if I could, but he chose to ask a watch smith, that then diagnosed a main spring issue… I offered to buy it back for spares at 30% of the selling price (100USD), which I think is fair… I am not a dealer, so a guarantee or such I cannot give of course… and it is four months with him. He paid via PP gift and has now threatened to “report me” to VISA…Am I a scammer?Dutchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonad Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 In my opinion, 4 months is too long to give a benefit of doubt to the buyer. <br /><br /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paneraiguy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 To be honest, every watch I ever brought second hand had a problem of some sort of another when it arrived , hey it's a replica made in china after all with low quality qc checking. This guy needs to man up, if he wants champange service on a beer budget, he's dreaming. Things happen, that's life. Everything can be fixed.

fraggle42 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Not a scammer at all.Tell the buyer he's refused perfectly good, and extremely generous offers of recompense, and so that's it. Offers withdrawn and he can go and play leapfrog on the freeway.Report what to VISA? "hello, I bought an illegal replica watch which broke 4 months after I got it and I want you to get my money back for me"?They're going to fall of their chairs laughing!Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
