ok. don't take me literally - just pointing out the immensity of options you have when settling a dispute in person.
- Atkinson0
sure, I think ebay is ok, paypal is the one I have a problem with

It was defective, you knew about it but chose not to mention it?
You had this coming. I would've filed a complaint as well.

Ha, coincidentally I just sold one.

When I had an iBook with a dead pixel it bugged the hell out of me. Dunno if it would have the same effect on a bigger screen but I'd be pretty annoyed if I bought an LDC wihout it it being mentioned. Don't think it would bug me enough to go through paypal complaints though...
- Atkinson0
yeah it did me when I bought it but after half an hour i couldnt even see it. Ah well. Maybe carboot not ebay fro now on, carboots are more fun anyway!

While I do believe in selling merchandise "as is", you neglecting to tell that the monitor was in fact partly broken is what makes ebay such a pain in the ass. "Oh, the rim is bent but you can't really tell unless you go over 65" in a car you just bought, or "Oh yeah, there's infact a train track 15 paces from the front lawn, but the train rarely passes" after you've moved into a new house you found on ebay.
That's just low, and puts you in the same league as every other scammer.And saying that you couldn't even see the dead pixel after a certain amount of time?! To me that is the same thing as having a house partly falling apart in the back as saying "Oh well, I'm never out back anyway" when you're having the realtor over.
You would've gotten £80 bucks anyway from some schmuck had you just explained it. But you didn't. And there's a fine line between doing that and sending me a letter stamped Nigeria saying that someone from the royal family just died and you need my account # to transfer funds.
So boo to you.

I agree with the guy. You should have mentioned it.
- Atkinson0
So when I got the monitor from Amazon they should have told me it had one defective pixel too right? And when I told them that it did have one, they should have refunded me? And when I told Samsung and they said it's acceptable being just one.....
£80 monitor with defective pixel = house with walls falling down = car with knackered rim? I reckon £80 monitor with one defective pixel = snickers with one less peanut than the last one you ate

in some ways it doesn't matter who's right, does it? he's going to return it and you're going to refund his money anyway?
- Atkinson0
we'll see what paypal say. If they say he's right then yeah, if not then he can sell it on at a profit. But you're right, I don't give a crap really what happens, next time I'll remember to mention the pixel!
who's for tennis.
- jox0
What does he have to do with Amazon not telling you? That's your headache and has nothing to do with it. Just because they push you over doesn't mean you can scam the 3rd guy.
I do agree that £80 for a 1 dead pixel monitor is pretty fair, but that is also beside the point. You're missing the big picture about not being honest. Just remember that karma is a bitch.

a company like amazon usually have a refund policy and by clicking it, you are accepting the statement.
if your ebay post came with all that legal disclaimer, it would have been a different story.
- Atkinson0
it said no returns on my ebay listing, quite clearly

hey what's up with the royal family in Nigeria? I wanna help.
- Atkinson0
they have a dead pixel.
- tkmeister0
i meant manufacturer defect policy. that's how they cover their ass.
- Atkinson0
Oh right I see.
- digilee0
if you said no returns, then no returns.
he's just trying it on.
and anyway ... like ebay or paypal are ever gonna chase you up on it.
