pi@@ed off about ebay & their promise to refund every b@tch out

For a very long time I have stood firm against those who claimed they were being bullied or hunted on this forum but sweet lord it's hard to defend after seeing this post. Relentless and embarrassing. I've certainly taken a look at my past behaviour as a result of this thread

Op, sort yourself out and swallow the pill. Learn from it.

Those who are were out hunting, not yet satisfied? A more hearty breakfast might be in order.

silicone wipe?

Yes, like a sponge with a reservoir of Silicone liquid at the back, and the best ones have a touch of colour in the reservoir (black in this instance, but also available in brown), the shine is instant and lasts a day (unless it rains in which case it marks terribly).

Makes the saddle slippery as hell, but looks wonderful for a few hours.
 
This is a bit of a joke now, im a business seller on ebay and can say in the 1000's of sales with had I can only think of 3 or 4 scammers, not one of which has got away with it.

Definately look into your postage though, even with insurance upto £1000 delivery should still be around £15
 
I have looked through the seller's help page and it's all about a new scam regarding getting partial refunds although this seller simply wants her money back hence trying to sell my new dressage saddle to release some funds. Would rather keep my GP as can't hunt in a dressage saddle lol :-) I didn't use any of the products mentioned but gave it a clean with normal saddle soap - I have Google how to make it black again but don't want to risk using any kind of dye. Once again, I wouldn't have paid £700 for a faded tatty old saddle then have it valued at £600 & yes, I do have the seriel number as the saddler wrote it all down for me.

So how do you think the buyer has caused the fading? I'd be interested to see what a Master Saddler would suggest as to how it could have been done, and for what ends exactly. How is this person benefiting exactly?

Btw - all my tack is cleaned weekly with: http://www.millbryhill.co.uk/equest...8-AiVmEI0BZ0eq0qi8GnO7q-fwiv14Zt-IaAuVm8P8HAQ

Hardly a magic potion to make it look perfect. The fading was not there when I sent it but it did have some wear & tear as advertised. But in her photos it looks an awful brown colour - let's see what I get back tomorrow ☺

Well, unless a master saddler or someone in similar profession corrects me, I am pretty sure that it is nigh on impossible for a saddle to suddenly and miraculously fade over a few days in the way that the picture depicts. It just doesn't happen. You could leave them out in the bloomin sun 24/7, after riding for hours on end, and it still wouldn't happen. If it was chemical, there would be damage to the actual surface of the leather, which doesn't appear to be the case from the photo, it just shows a typical faded saddle. So, I can only deduce, if you are correct in your side of things, that it is a different saddle in the photo, in which case, you won't have any issue at all - because you have proof of the serial number.

I've sold saddles in the past. Postage is indeed approx. £15 but packaging is at least another £5. Really substantial, protective packaging - you cannot trust some courier firms (cough, ahem....Yodel, Hermes) to handle your items with care.
 
Everyone please let this just go, poster obviously thrives on this ongoing saga and as far as I can make out after reading all posts !!!!!! she started this with one objective ie. to 'out the person who bought her saddle from ebay' and then decided to return it as she has every right to do so! as this is a business seller who states you can return with 14 days. As far as I can see reading between the lines I would imagine the seller wanted to 'out the buyer' as very early on in her post on here, she asked people to message her to get the buyers name!!!!! There are so many twists and turns in this story it would make an ideal game of 'snakes and ladders' I am just thankful I now know who she is on ebay so I will never make the very bad mistake of purchasing any items from her. Let it go folks been a good laugh but time to move on.
 
Yeah, would be interesting ;) however, I sincerely doubt op will do so. Her last post on here was on the 21st, she was online two days ago but funnily enough, nothing.
 
Not on either ebay account currently...

Hopefully sold privately locally, no excuses for a buyer to quibble afterwards then
 
I did check ebay the other day out of curiosity (it was late at night, my neighbours were having a row again, thought I'd entertain myself!).

Couldn't see it on there but did see the buyer had left negative feedback. Apparently she'd been threatened with court action if she returned it?!

Gods, it's little wonder CW doesn't want to come on with an update... What a car crash!

Yes I was intrigued. We don't know all the in's and out's and what sepcifically was said but I did think that sounded a bit weird! Wonder if they have returned the saddle though. Wonder if CW said if it was returned damaged she would pursue with court? Oh the possibilities are endless - need OP to update!
 
I do feel a bit sad for the OP in that she seemed delusional rather than malicious, ie if she believed hard enough, and told us enough, it would be the truth. Plus it sounds like she has difficulties with prioritisation... coupled with running a livery yard, multiple horses, competing in dressage regularly, having a toddler and the almost constant tack polishing. I did wonder if she had some issues with language given the phonetic spelling errors and difficulty negotiating the complaints procedure; you could understand the anger and frustration that might throw into the mix.

Ultimately though, I am just really really glad I didn't buy that saddle!
