Here's the scoop...
I've been unloading a bunch of random stuff on ebay to try to make a few bucks. Most transactions, including many international sales, have gone very well. Except one. I haven't use a film camera in many years and descided to sell off a couple of SLR packages. One of these sales just went wrong.

I wrote in the ad that I haven't use the camera in years and that it was to be sold as is but worked the last time I used it. It even had film loaded when I opened the back to take a picture. I removes the film and sold the whole package, body, lens flash, bag, manuals, books, straps etc. for under $200. I had a higher bid but canceled the bid before the auction closed because he was new, no feedback and wouldn't return my emails.

The winner complained because it took me a week to get to the post office. I just started a job and couln't get there till Saturday. I appologised, but he wasn't happy. Now he gets the package and tells me the camera won't load film. He said he tried the lens and flash on another camera just like this one and they work fine. He want's to return the camera for a full refund including shipping.

My worry is that he's trying to return a camera that's not the one I sent him. I stated clearly that the camera was untested and sold as is. I started teh bidding really low due to this fact.

What would you do in this case?

Thanks

Let him return it, but he has to cover shipping. He took his chances on 'as is'. And yeah he should just grow up and deal with it, but it's also nice to keep your feedback score up there. One negative can mess it up. On the other hand... you might go through the whole return thing and he could still leave negative feedback. Sticky situation.
