Advice pls- Being threated with Court action over Ebay sale.

So, as I read it, he has got the bike for £1150 after the money that you've already refunded him, my opinion is that he's a chancer trying to take advantage of the fact you're a decent bloke, also as he has said the bike in his opinion is worth £800, he is going to take you to court for £350, I'd be very tempted to call his bluff about going to court.

Additionally you might want to point out to him that he bought it outside ebay so quoting the ebay listing is irrelevant.

Yer thats how I see it, maybe there are issues with it he seemed a decent guy, and if there are I feel bad for him hence the refund. When he accepted that I saw it as draw a line under it and move on.

As said it was sold as seen and looking back I dont think the actual wording of the ebay ad is wrong. How it reads into it was upto him.

Did you both sign a receipt saying that the bike was sold as seen.

No he was in a rush to get off so didnt give him receipt at all.

That's a shame, something about your buyer makes me wonder if he's pulled this stunt before, it all seems very contrived to me, telling you first that it broke down, and then the subsequent messages with ever increasing problems, I might be wrong but it smells odd to me.
