The buyer left me a negative feedback over this issue.
The buyer did return the xbox 360 to me and I refunded 100% including the shipping that they paid.
I tested the xbox and found the wifi didin’t work as they said. However, I tested the wifi before sending it and have photos of the unit connected to the internet and xbox live.
That means the buyer damaged the xbox or it was damaged during shipping. There wasn’t any obvious signs of the box being damaged though.
Should ebay remove the negative ? This is exactly why I offer 30 day returns and refunds in case something breaks. Seems to me I did my part and this situation wasn’t never elevated to the point where ebay would step in.
PS I also did not tell the customer the wifi was broken when tested. In fact I haven’t had any contact with them whatsoever after I received the xbox back.
The buyer of the xbox 360 opened a return as I expected, but they did a NAD on me. Now they paid for shipping on the original listing and I have to pay for shipping back to me.
It’s not much maybe $12, but I wonder if I should refund minus the shipping or just let it go since it really is a wash. I’m more inclined to let it go. This is also why I usually charge shipping on electronics.
Also worthy to note when I previously asked them to try another device on their wireless network apparently they thought I meant to try connecting the xbox 360 to the phone. Not sure why someone would think that as it makes no sense at all, but that is what they wrote in their return request. That just further demonstrates to me they have no clue about wireless networks.
When I get it back I will make a video of it working and send the buyer a link. On the bright side I actually believe them and I don’t think they are lying just to get a free return. IMO They are just too dumb to figure it out.
To be fair I have been stumped before too on some wireless devices that I couldn’t get to connect to my network. I had some Sony PSP’s that for the life of me I couldn’t figure out.
Went to Google and finally got them connected. The issue was some type of old encryption that the PSP’s were using. Once I made the correction on my router they connected. So I have some empathy for customers like this. IF they buy another 360 they are just going to have the same issue, but some people prefer to learn the hard way I guess.I’m not an expert with cameras, but if you search ebay for that model its selling for approx $140-$160 with an attached 50mmf/1.8 lens.
Some lenses are very valuable so I would research each lens first. It may be more advantageous to sell a 50mmf/1.8 lens separate from the housing/shell. What you are holding in the first photo is the housing/shell. People will also pay just for that without a lens.
As for testing, put some batteries in it, attach a lens, and try some buttons. Even if film isn’t loaded you should still be able to get the film roll mechanism to advance and rewind.
Or If you prefer and have some expired film you can load that up and see if it advances/rewinds. The film will then become exposed and useless, but you can keep it around to test other cameras with. You can rewind the film back into the roll with your fingers if necessary.
If it has an attached flash it you can test that too.
