Bought a Damascus steel knife blank from a seller in India. Was reasonably priced and sensible P&P
Seller had good feedback and been around for a few years
Knife arrived well ahead of schedule
However the handle section was significantly twisted when compared to the blade.
Emailed seller and he kept telling me that it was the pattern. This carried on for a while. I explained that if it was in a shop and I could physically see the item I wouldn’t have bought it as it was defective
Many emails latter I threatened negative feedback and seller stopped replying
So I left negative feedback and contacted eBay, no easy task to navigate through all the options
eBay stepped in, reviewed all emails and asked seller to provide prepaid return label, this was in his T&C’s
Nothing happened, so seller was given five days
Today I had an apologetic email from eBay and a full refund
Seller has disappeared from eBay
