Thankyou sir, your accuracy as a literarian is obviously as accute as your marksmanship.
The name of Neil Edwards has already been sullied in airgun circles. I propose that a full apology and refund should be given and we then draw a line under it.Originally Posted by Inspector 71

So what is the 'scope worth with the gouge? If the gouge really grinds your gears and the seller has dug his heels in, does that mean there is a bargain to be had?
I'll start the bidding at £90 delivered (unless that is against forum rules, in which case, I don't)
Plain and simple, seller has misdescribed the item. If the buyer isn't interested in a partial refund then seller should accept it's return at his expense and refund.
Doubt seller will be making many further sales on here, muck sticks or something like that.

The one and only beef I've had when selling goods on a certain online auction site concerned a pair of Ford body panels.
Believed to be genuine Ford items,new old stock with manufacturer's labels was part of my description.
The buyer contacted me and complimented my packing and quick delivery but despite them having Ford labels, claimed they were aftermarket parts.
No problem I said, full refund offered,he replied saying he would to keep the parts but wanted a partial refund,which I gave him.
Guess what?,the parts appeared a short while later, offered for sale on the dealer's website as genuine new old stock.
In this case I'd just offer a full refund,considering the sum involved,life's too short.
If Paypal was used in the normal way, ie not as gift. Would Paypal actually be able to sort this out ? How does that work then ??

Buyer would start a not happy with item claim, paypal would freeze the money until the seller sorted it out to the buyers satisfaction, if not the buyer escalates the claim and paypal decides on any action with the possibility of a strike against the seller.
I have actually just bought something on here and was going to pay as a friend but decided to pay and extra couple of quid to help ay the sellers fees instead, not that I envisage a problem, like I said in a previous posting there has to be an element of trust in buying and selling on a forum, hopefully most peoples reputations are worth more than a few quid, mine certainly is.

This is exactly why the Mods made the rule that paying by PayPal gift is against the rules.

How do you go on buying a rifle, as PayPal don't allow payment for guns, so paying with fees would make no difference. and then there's the buyer who uses the protection fees to rip the seller off. All this is spelling the end of distance selling For the over suspicious buyer. I personally would take a chance on here paying as friends as most guys on here are honest. Ok I've had the odd miss described item but a resolve has been met.
I think the seller in this instance is wrong and should have given a full refund including return postage once the scope was recieved back and think he's a fool for not doing it and might as well leave the forum.

Why can't face to face be an option for buying a rifle? I actually think it's the best way to avoid problems.How do you go on buying a rifle, as PayPal don't allow payment for guns, so paying with fees would make no difference
Bank transfer?
Plenty of other money transfer apps out there. Ping It, Google Wallet, SnapCash to name 3.
Or the buyer who wants to see the kit he's paying a lot of money for. That's just common sense, not suspicion.All this is spelling the end of distance selling For the over suspicious buyer.
Me too. A bad deal can happen due to unforeseen circumstances, but this sale was simply a case of deliberate misdescription.I think the seller in this instance is wrong

Iv'e bought and sold a bit on here and other forums, always put loads of pictures up, and I save a copy of the photos until the buyer confirms safe arrival , small low cost items Iv'e paid by PP, larger more costly prefer bank transfer and if I'm buying, I have collected, or had collected by a mate who knows his guns
Most rifles iv'e bought have been F/F and as described some times better! and with the fuel costing usually less than posting I would rather travel a few miles than risk it .

I think that we all just need a breath.
its easy to post in anger and then harder to back away from a position.
i am sure in the cold light of day the right thing will be done.
