First time poster.

I sold a Dyson airwrap last week as unused (which it is, it was an unneeded gift). Buyer messaged the day after purchase asking when it was arriving despite me providing delivery information. I paid almost £30 for delivery to cover its insurance. The package was lost over the weekend due to an admitted fault by Parcel force. Buyer emailing all weekend chasing despite me reassuring that I'd spent 2-3 hours on the phone/going to the post office to chase. It arrived today, one day after the estimated delivery time. She is now claiming the item is used. I asked for photos and they are not of my hair and not the condition the item was sent in. I know this but I can't prove it to eBay. She wants £100 refund and has sent a string of nasty messages all morning. I have acknowledged to her that I accept that she is unhappy with the whole experience but that I felt this was too high. Privately, I feel that she is seeking compensation for the late delivery or trying her luck but I have no way of demonstrating this to eBay. I am heavily pregnant and whilst I would Ordinarily be disputing this, I am considering relenting. AIBU/WWYD?

Thanks everyone! So relieved and can just enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy ☺

I'm not a high volume seller, I just tend to sell off stuff I've bought and forgotten about. Mostly I don't sell it on for much and this was the exception. But never again! It's put me off eBay in fact for the time being.

It's nice to see a happy resolution! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, and beyond!

Brilliant, I hate scammers.

Good result! I wouldn't worry too much about the negative feedback, as a buyer I ignore the odd one on a seller's profile and know that there are always people out there who cause problems.

Well done for being so persistent!
