I'm selling a guitar on Ebay, and have said in the auction that i want collection in person.
I also said that anyone needing it posting will have to arrange it themselves, as i dont want the risk of a courier causing damage by
drop kicking it around their warehouse or throwing it around and somehow damaging the contents.
I have proper guitar packing but i still dont want the risk. Its probably a long shot that it would get damaged, but its my choice.
A guy has messaged me saying would i pack it and take it to a drop off depot. I said no, for the reasons above, which are stated in the auction. I'm assuming
he read that but ignored it.
So i get this this meassge... quote..
[b] [i]Hello ,
In my experience you cannot reduce your responsibility by not being the one who pays the courier, because Ebay give a customer guarantee that the buyer will receive the item they want in the condition they expect or be eligible for a return or refund.
I send out two or three guitars each week and have found it is all about packing really well to get them there in one piece... even if I send a courier you still have to pack the guitar ready for him to collect.[/i][/b]
Now, if the courier does deliver the guitar and they've damaged it, how on earth can i deal with the courier that i didnt book, dont have the order numbers for, or the invoice ?
He mentions its all about the packing, but i've already stated that i have the proper packing. He's not listening or reading what i stated
I've posted guitars before without problem, but i've not booked the courier. Thats my choice, as i said
The responsibility that i have is that the guitar is as described. Isn't it ? If i misrepresented what i was selling, i would have it back and refund., but i dont do that
because its not worth the hassle, and its morally wrong to sell someone something that isnt what i described. I'm careful to list things correctly to avoid those situations
So what is he on about ?
Also it appears he's a dealer and he maybe getting confused and thinks i'm also a dealer.
