Recently bought a ccdb air off ebay. Listing said all in good working order. When i got it and fitted it, it sounded awful. Seller offered to refund £105, the price of a service. Shock went to TF tuned who said it needed an extra £100 (total £216) spending as it needed several parts replacing. Ebay seller said to return for a full refund which i have done.
The Seller now has it re advertised on ebay starting at £89.99. Its listed as spares but he has stated that it just needs a service which he knows isnt true as i told him and also included the paperwork from TF when i returned it.
Is this a reportable infringement of ebay rules? Should i be bothered?? Just seems unfair that hes trying to palm it off on someone when he knows it needs twice the money spending on it than hes saying in the ad.
Heres a link so people know to avoid. I dont really want to report him until my refund has cleared, just in case he can reverse it somehow!

did you leave feedback? I bought a reverb a few weeks ago which was described as excellent working order. Turned out to be a load of rubbish. Checked his sold items (all his feedback was private) and saw he had already sold it twice. I am tempted to leave feedback stating what it was and it was rubbish so it cant be hidden to stop a 4th person buying it.

That's rubbish tbh.

Ebay are unapproachable now but they do still sometimes act, I've had some surprisingly good service from them both as buyer and seller... I think most folks assume there's no point just because they go out of their way to be hard to speak to

Not left feedback yet. Seems i cant now as its been returned for a refund. I guess hes hoping to sell it now and get feedback before it goes off to be serviced by the new owner.

eBay's full of chancers unfortunately. A pair of forks I returned with completely worn stanchions were soon back up for sale again, albeit with some minor added comments about marks on the stanchions. I just don't get how some people operate. Never got my return postage back either..

When I returned the Reverb ebay provided me with a label which I assume was billed to the seller.

Thanks for the heads up, I had previously viewed it (may have even bid on it)
I sent a message early today and received this reply

I honestly couldn't tell you, a service is usually about 100 but there's a chance some parts might need replacing in which case it would cost slightly more.
Cheers,
Owen

Not sure he can "honestly" couldn't tell
