AWESOME , NICE snag

If dragging it behind your car at 90mph is gentle use I'd say the description hits the nail on the head.

[G-Dizzle]

I guess thats what you get sometimes with the bay

[cali-SAK-attack]

I personally would simply return it. 
Open a "return case" and mark it as " ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED"..... state that it was listed as "GENTLY USED" and that in fact it is rougher than a corn cob.
And add PICS, there is now an area for that at the bottom, when opening a Return Case.
In such a case, the seller even pays return shipping, all you have to do is print out the slip from ebay return section once approved.
You are 100% covered by eBays buyer protection program........ with no out of pocket cost to you, just print a shipping label.

Man....LOOKED good in the pics

I will do that as soon as I get a spare moment. Do you know if there are any time limits? It sure did look good and if the astetics were just bad I wouldnt care but it has TONS of play/wobble in all of the tools

[cali-SAK-attack]

30 days, but you should open the case. A.S.A.P.

Thanks! Will try to do it tomorrow

Try and work it out with the seller before you open a case.

Second that. Seller may offer a discount in place of the hassle of getting it back and getting rid of it later.

[G-Dizzle]

[G-Dizzle]

Bad grammar, but its late, im tired, been a long day.. finally sent

[G-Dizzle]

Haven't heard back yet. How long should I give him?

[Mechanickal]

Haven't heard back yet. How long should I give him?

I'd give him 48 hours. But that's just my 5C.
Just make sure you aren't to late to open a case.

Will do! I have until the 27th to open a case so I'm fine. Want to give him enough time to see it and respond before I do though.

I've had some play in the tools before, but the lock failing? Wow, he must've really done something bad to that poor guy. I hope you get a positive resolution!

[chrono]

You should open a case, with pictures to back your claim.  Be detailed. The seller can offer a discount so you will not send it back or open further case. Opening a case will force the seller to response within a few day limit. From what you stated, it is likely eBay will be in your favor and makes the seller take it back, even pay for shipping fee.

Good luck.

[SteveC]

I don't think you can open a case until a certain time has elapsed.  They encourage you to work it out with the seller first.

That is only the item has not arrived within eBay's estimated time yet. I know because I am waiting for the 11/14 date to come so I can open a case against a Chinese scammer. Still waiting for a Leatherman Wave bought on 10/5 from that cockroach.  eBay does not allow me to open a case because the estimated delivery date is 11/14!

Opening a case forces the seller to communicate with the buyer.

[G-Dizzle]

For your viewing pleasure. It seems like it is only the main blade (it is the only one I tested on earlier) but this is unacceptable for "gently used." All of the tools have good bit of wobble as well.

[G-Dizzle]

never got a response out of the seller so I opened an official return request. If he doesn't respond before the 17th I can ask Ebay to help.

[Thunderpants]

Wow that's painful to watch. Like cracking knuckles..!
Good luck sorting this out.

I got a message saying that the seller accepted my return and issued a refund, but have not received any return instructions or shipping label.. is he just saying to keep it?

Well... from a seller's perspective, you shouldn't issue a refund until you get your item back. So, maybe he is!

I am willing to send it back if he wants and dont want to cheat him out of it if he can sell it honestly for parts, but if he doesnt want to bother with it I will try to repair it or use it for parts myself. He never responded to my original message either. The refund message was an automated one by ebay.

[cali-SAK-attack]

As the Seller  , He has the choice to:
Accept refund and pay return shipping - he MUST PAY because you said it was "NOT AS DESCRIBED" that changes things big time for a seller= he has zero choice in if he pay return shipping or not.-refund issued once item received from buyer(automatically because tracking is added)
Partial refund - work out an amount that makes it fair to both
Full refund - issue refund and let buyer keep the item


IF he refunded you , it was because he chose to 
MOST sellers would never issue a refund until they got their item back, some mistakes do happen tho

I would keep it and wait a couple (5-ish) days for seller to make contact....if not = 
Ebay is a TRIP ....as a seller , I see the craziest stuff from buyers and sellers alike 
I never ......EVER ... know what to expect next on there!

That tools is clearly in bad shape.  Glad things are being sorted out.

[Mechanickal]

That vid scared the hell out of me!

Worst case: send it in to Vic to get it repaired.

Price in Europe would be around €16,70 to get it back in complete working order.
