I am so close to quitting for good
Last year to pay for Christmas I sold my laptop, the guy got it and emailed me to say if was all fine then emailed a few days later to say it wasn't working and he wanted his money back. I said "Look it was working when I sent it and when you received it so for all I know you have spilt coffee on it or something so I am not refunding until you return it to me" He refused to return it saying I would then have the laptop and his money, I refused to give him his money as he would have a free laptop, it went back and forwards until the point where ebay had to make the decision. They sent me and email saying "As he won't return it you don't have to give him his money" case closed but jesus what a twat. I am pretty certain there was nothing wrong with it and he was just trying to rip me off.

Also a few months back I bought three phones off a guy and one didn't work, I said lets be fair mate, refund me a third and I won't escalate. He told me no. So I escalated to a claim and he wrote me and email swearing at me calling me a cunt for escalating on a weekend when he has kids to look after. I said ok refund me a third. He agreed and ebay put it as pending, he never refunded as agreed so after 10 days ebay refunded all the money including postage not just a third of the cost. I got an email from him a few days ago saying "I'm still waiting for you to send the phones back" He can keep waiting, I never wanted a full refund, I never wanted to send all the phones back and he could have given me a small amount and ended it. Also I was the buyer, I haven't ever had his address even if I wanted to send them back.

Length?

There
certainly seems to be evidence on there that some people really should never start a business of their own.
