I ordered an expensive piece of electronics off ebay. It was used but said to work. I paid 180 dollars for shipping on a 1000 purchase. Insurance wasn't really discussed, I guess I thought it was a matter of course.
Item arrived badly beat up and non functional. It wasn't even packaged. Simply laid down in a cardboard box (it weighs 70 lbs) and shipped. We spent months going through the shipping claims process. So long I am apparently no longer covered through paypal.
Not only was the item damaged, but it differed significantly from what was described in the auction. I have all our emails, receipt and pictures of the item.
Do I have a strong small claims case? If so, why? And what can I say in a threatening email to this guy to get my money back, so we don't have to go to court? (he's a college kid, seems otherwise responsible, I want to scare some sense into him).
thanks a million...
