1187095 2011-03-18 04:24:00 Is not it funny, that you have used something for years with no problems and then sell it. The new owners have only had it for 5 mins. and it plays up. Has happened too me numerous times.

1187096 2011-03-18 04:45:00 You may find they may have dropped it or something, now it plays up - if thats the case, and theres obvious damage that wasn't there when sent, then you shouldn't have to supply a refund.

But you can't determine if the fault was caused by them dropping it or the courier dropping it, for example, then you may refuse refund due to damages that weren't their fault. :waughh:

If it were a courier damge, then it obviously wasn't packaged correctly.
Wrap it in a reasonable amount of bubble wrap, which is then placed inside a carboard box and you could just about use it as a football with no damage.

Its not worth the hasssles. Refund the money, then either throw it in the bin
or sell "as is, old but working"

Some people just expect really old, worn , cheap stuff to work as new.

Although that would depend on the condition it was received it. ALl the packaging in the world maynot help if the courier drops it, or it is crushed by something being on top of it.

The other damage that may not be able to be seen, is moisture damage. If they have got the phone wet, it could stop working properly, and you may not be able to see any signs of this.
