I have put a claim into eBay, fingers crossed I get a refund (and best case I get to keep the bats for the wood burner too!)

I know I took a gamble on these but I've been put right off buying 2nd hand bats now. Not sure if I'm upset, angry, disappointed or all three!

Cam,

Hopefully you get a good result from it. The seller would have known they were not repairable..

Give ebay a ring, they usually deal with cases faster and explain the situation

Sorry to hear they turned out to be a bad lot Cam. Hopefully the other parcel you are expecting will arrive soon and will put the smile back on your face.

Another ebay seller to add to the list of ones to avoid - is there a thread on here with those names in one place for members to refer to?

I second this, different circumstances but i called up to have some negative feedback removed (left because the buyer couldnt read) over the phone they sorted it immediately

wow cant believe they even tried to sell them on

Someone doesn't want to give a refund

[Manormanic]

I would be inclined to reply - "the dictionary definition of repairable is "in a state whereby the item can be made good by any process" and it is clear that there is no way to make these bats good.  You will also wish to note that you omitted the main damage from the photos stated, which created what I believe to be a deliberately false perspective on the future useability of the bats.  Your call, but I am confident that ebay will invoke their buyer protection in this instance"

Just spoken to eBay, I have to wait until 29th April before I escalate my claim.
The woman on the phone looked at my pictures added to the case and said I shouldn't have any problem.

Just got to wait now!

And as @Chalkie said, hopefully another package will arrive and put a smile on my face soon

Sorry  Cam that you have been ripped off  but the key here is they were advertised as repairable also goods have to be fit for purpose in this instance repairable which I don't believe is the case.

Just read this thread. This sucks. Hopefully you get the refund.

At my workplace one time a guy was scammed via ebay, bought volkswagen jetta for around $3000 and never received the car. and he paid using western union. So no protection by ebay in that case.

definitely should get your money back on these as if there are parts that he didn't describe (i.e. the bit you mentioned about the warsop and the 3inch missing piece) he has scammed you, there is no way some of these look repairable from your photos - his did not show all of the damage and the listing was vague (i put in an offer on these and would have felt the same as you if i had got what you got)- best of luck getting all of your cash back!!!!

Turning the page on the unfortunate eBay chapter, I have had another parcel delivered!

I can't wait to go home and see what I've received. Roll on lunch break!

Maybe he's sent out that missing 3 inch piece of willow 

[WalkingWicket37]

What I received was 2lb9 and 3/8
Has 40mm edges and a 59mm spine

That's all I'm saying until 5pm as I've got to go back to work
