bought some supposedly black smoked rear lights from ebay payed £51 for them then £20 postage before they come i thought i would have a scout through the sellers purchased items just checking him out really and seen he had bought a can of black spray for spraying lights etc anyways i emailed him said i hope you havent just sprayed these lights with a 9.99 can of spray i could of just done that with my and saved a fortune and he assured me these were proper citeroen smoked lights anyway after a couple of weeks been on the car and a couple of washes these bloody lights are becomming lighter and lighter and more like my standard ones so i just emailed him today to pull him up heres the reply the seller gave me

From the seller:
Hello i dont know what to do. I bought these lights at a car boot sale and the boy said they were proper saxo smoked rear lights.

can you beleive the cheek of people anyway if we dont resolve a refund im contacting ebay regarding damme good job i took pictures of when they were fitted

[Robbo]

people are like that and will make excuses for it, gove him a weeks deadline to refund you and if he doesnt then tell ebay straight away. save all your messages and emails from him if you need to show ebay evidence.

[stiffler69]

Yeah i have saved the messages and i have let him know this problem is its probably gonna loose £20 having to send them back to ireland luckily theres a nice fellow selling some at a awesome price in the for sale thread so i hope to snap them up cheers for the comments

[Connor_scotland]

Ebay is shite these days

[stiffler69]

Yeah that would normally be first option but however since they come from ireland its not possible

Yikes!!

I bet he got them for about a tenner aswell! Get him royaly fcuked. :evil:

[stiffler69]

set the ball rolling with paypal as he was no help himself and refussed t o give a refund well a full refund so i reported him to them they can deal with the scum of the earth

[Mitchell]

dont think theres anythin u can do, if the ad was for smoked rear lights, then you've bought smoked rear lights, theres no such thing as 'genuine' smoked lights.

unless the ad was different.

[stiffler69]

i know but there are proffesional smoked lights wich are done the correct way these are just a bodged pair of standard lights

[davew]

You can get proper smoked lights......... feel sorry for u though dude sounds like you got mugged. just get the bat out and introduce it to his head :>

[stiffler69]

lmao sounds good just finding the little chump!

[DarylVTR]

link to a pic of the lights? to be honest he will win the plea because he did send you a pair of smoked lights for a saxo so its not really faulse advertising so paypal will prob go in his favour.

paypal and ebay is a mega arse when it comes to problems, they took over a year to sort my problem out

[stiffler69]

worth a try wich ever way it goes its not the money its jsut the fact that a little worm has got 1 over on me and theres not alot i can

[dannyjay]

You can see they've been sprayed.
And he didn't state they were professionaly done, so I think it will go in his favour. Sods law! :ill:

[stiffler69]

Yeah it may well do but it doesnt state sprayed saxo rear lights it says smoked tinted so hopefully the little prat will get whats coming to him

[stiffler69]

Also before they arrive i messaged him stating that if they were sprayed i didnt want them and he mailed me saying that they were not sprayed and the paint he bought was for his indicators so paypal have that email too hopefully it will go my way because he stated that they wernt sprayed

[Yates]

20 for delivery?! hes done you already, never mind the lights!

[DevilDamo]

Erhhh...

1. You can tell from the pics on the Ebay ad that they've been sprayed.
2. He's ripping you off on postage and packaging.
3. His description of the lights on the ad is correct. They are smoked lights.
4. You could have bought some REAL Ultra smoked lights for £60 including delivery. Why didn't you get some of those?

[lambinator]

if u want those lights still u can get em back to smoked which will last longer!

simply wash the lights. then with wet sand paper gently rub over the lense so it's smooth. then spray when dry with tintin paint and decide on how many layers u want. that way the paint will absorb into the plastic and not jsut sit on top of it when it drys.

hope that helps:thumbup:

Where was he sending them from to pay £20?

[droopster]

You will not win mate as the lights are not significantly different as the description. I had this exact same problem when I sold some lights (Mine were fine tho) but in my case the buyer presumed stufff and tried getting a refund through paypal. I won tho and so will he probably sorry bud. Expensive to pay for the lights tho although I sold mine for £61 not inc pnp.
