Hi there
If you stated in your listing that the item was sold "as is" and with no guarantee, then certainly in the UK it would mean "you pays your money and you takes your choice". In other words the buyer agrees that it is as described and buys on that basis.
I am completely naffed off with ebayers throwing their toys out of their pram because they feel hard done by. I had a recent situation with a seller who decided not to play by the rules after the auction had ended. I bid, perfectly legitimately, on a nice retro Amstrad CPC6128 computer system with green screen monitor. I won the auction at an amazing £6.50 plus postage. The seller then told me that he was not going to sell it for such a ridiculously low amount stating "would you sell a computer system for £6.50?". He then invited me to make my best offer and he would consider it. HELLO
I won the auction fair and square! It was not my fault that he had not covered his ass with a minimum start price or a reserve. What a complete ass*ole!!!! It just makes me angry!!!
Anyway, to get back to you - IMHO I think you tell them to take a hike!
Hope this helps :-)
