Is it worth doing anything? If so, what?

[HiccupHaddockHorrendous]

I won an auction for a buggy with accessories last week. I wasn't so bothered about having the accessories but bid a bit extra thinking that i could put the bits I didn't want back on eBay and recoup the money that way.

I collected it all, had a quick demo from the seller and went on my way.

The actual buggy is fine and as described so I left positive feedback.

One of the accessories was described as BNIP so I didn't check it until I was getting ready to list it on eBay and have now realised that it's not for the model of buggy that it was described as. So, I was expecting to get approx £15/20 for it but now I know it's for a different model, it'll maybe only get £5 if it gets any interest at all.

As I have already left FB, I'm not sure if it's worth contacting the seller because I don't know what, if anything, they could do.

Any suggestons?

the fact you have left feedback is irrelevant - the item is not as described, so yes I would contact the seller

did you pay cash or paypal?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm just not sure what is reasonable to ask them to do. I paid cash on collection.

what do you want, some of your money back?

Yes, I suppose I do but is that unreasonable? Also, I don't know how it would be done (if seller agreed) given that I paid in cash. It was a fair distance so not sure if it'd be worth my time/petrol for me to go over there for a partial refund.

well it is worth emailing them saying what they say - they could always post you a cheque

ebay won't do anything seeing as you paid by cash, but they wouldn't give a partial refund anyway, they would just tell you to return tracked for a full refund if you had paid by paypal. I suspect the seller will say you checked it when you bought it so probably won't give you anything back.

You can leave follow up feedback if you want to.

Thanks, I will email and see what she says.

Thanks for the advice, fergoose. Seller has sent me a partial refund via PP and told me to stick the accessory on eBay .
