ok people any help would be greatly apreciated as i think i am being scamed/riped off
ok well me and a buddy of mine picked up a canon 10d camera with a memeroy card and a 50mm lens for rather cheap after we had found out how much the camera was actaully worth. we buy and sell on ebay a good bit. well friend of ours who knows cameras checked it out, was snaping pictures of a few things to test the camera, worked fin 100% good as new. we list the item on ebay, goes for 926 and some change. good deal so far. then the problems start a flying. the buyer asks me about manuals and such, i explain to him there are known, he then asks for pointers on the camera i explain i know about as much as he does, witch is nothing. well i ship the camera out to him, he gets the camera. the day after he said he has the camera, he claims, its broken. he says he charged up the battery, turned it on, then nothing, jsut says EOS and the LCD does not power up at all. he then emails me back says hes asked on a forum somewhere about this and says someone suggests the CF card slot has a bent pin. he had told me before he tried some of his "own cards" to see if that would help it, but in a later email also said he had just charged the camera up and thats it (keep in mind he asked for manuals and pointers on how to use the camera itself). well now he says he sees the bent pin and he wants a full refund as it isnt mint, he keeps pushing for this refund so bad, he wants to give me back a broken camera (that was working when it left my house) and he wants my money. oooooookk :(. well then i say find out whats involoved in fixing this, he did, and says itll cost him 195 dollars i suggested i might give him a refund of what it costs to fix it, but im wondering, if this is even true, he says you have to ship the camera out to canon for service, but i definitly need soem big time help on this to find out if im being jerked around, i think i am, ive never had this much of a problem with a seller. also if it does cost 195 to fix, im questioning why i need to refund him my money, sales on ebay are as is, everyone knows that, i even list that in my sale item description
