I am looking for a bit of advice and wondered if anyone has had experience with dealing with a broken rod before?
I won an auction on ebay for a rod and received the rod and took it out of the tube, tried to assemble the rod to check it and that fell at the first hurdle it was missing part of the butt section and 2nd ring. I checked the tube for the remaining section and it was not in there.
Photographed the broken section and sent it to the sender, after a lot of apologies and a promise of a refund the seller had it picked up by a courier and now is refusing to refund because the rod is not the same as he sent it.
He has some proof because of the images he posted on the auction; however it doesn’t show it once he packaged it.
Mind you he is claiming within the case that he is “missing the broken section that he sent with the rod??” Hmmm either it was a slip of the keyboard or a bit of an error.
Anyway has anyone else had experience of this, both parties cannot agree so how do ebay usually sort this out? And in what favour.?
I have bought from ebay and forums before and never had a problem with a rod yet.
Cheers
