I think that you need to put it into perspective and not be so drastic to completely come off of the platform. You could buy using PayPal gift here and get mugged off.
Some kid in a call centre in a different country doesn't know if the switch should be a latching or not on some boutique pedal, they're just gonna side with the buyer and I can see why. They just don't have the knowledge to deal with every nuance of every sale and they never will.
You have to take the good with the bad, have your wits about you and you'll mostly be fine.
He also has two other guitars listed without certificates, wonder if they will magically appear soon.
Whereas what they should really do if they're skint is not buy any fucking guitar gear until they can afford it
I rarely use this word, but I’m calling @tele69 a liar. Please allow me to explain why.
I was looking for a jazz and this one came up on eBay. It had been returned by a previous buyer or someone had pulled out. I didn’t get to the bottom of it. Anyway, I contacted the seller and asked about condition. I’m told it was perfect other than a very small ding he sends me a picture of. He then offers a deal which seems ok by throwing in an anodised pickguard so I agree to buy.
To be fair, guitar arrives quickly and very well packaged. I open and inspect the guitar and one ding my arse. The guitar has been well used- not a problem. In reality there’s buckle rash to the rear, 4 decent dings to the top and other scratching and play wear. It’s not through the paint, but it isn’t the single ding he’s claimed. It’s had a hard life for a guitar only 2 years old.
The certificate was a mix up and I found it in the bottom of the container box used when I’m listing the guitar. My mistake and no intention to deceive. It didn’t form part of the refund agreement anyway.
Had the op been a grown up, he could have messaged me rather than coming on a forum, lying and trying to gain sympathy. Had he been a grown up, I’d be delighted to send the guitar back and get my money back, but I can’t imagine many people being that happy when I’ve had the guitar for a few weeks. The offer is open though if he covers postage costs.
If anyone thinks I’ve been a dick, sorry, but actually the seller should have been honest about the condition of the guitar. I don’t believe I’m the first person to return the guitar.

Bit of trading feedback here.
I don't know if I'd go as far as to call that buckle rash.
It doesn’t photo well and neither do the dents in the top, but I can assure you they are there and unlike the op, I’ve made it clear on my eBay listing. The difference is, when I sell something, people know what they are getting. If I overdo the condition, I’d rather that than pretend it’s something it isn’t.
”Guitar has isn't in brand new condition, but in my view has started the ageing process that these guitars are designed for beautifully. This guitar will relic with age, but with real wear, not false "relic" style wear.”
That’s quite different from: “4 decent dings to the top and other scratching and play wear”.
Anyway, I’ll wait and see if I hear from the op.
If he feels he’s been wronged, he’ll take the guitar back and refund my money. Everyone is happy.
Itll be interesting to see if he does or if he’s trying to scam me through eBay. I wonder?
