    Quick and hopefully final update.

    After they got notified of the ebay decision they messaged and said they’ve decided to return it for a refund. 

    I replied that’s fine but I won’t be meeting up, please bring it to my house this evening. 

    They’ve now decided to keep it.

    FFS.  Fingers crossed that's the end of it.

    Watch it turn up on Ebay at twice the price, with all the faults forgotten and no mention of the new friends you'll be receiving with it.

    I reared haematophagous insects for a research project twenty years ago. Normally you would expect most eggs to hatch next summer, unless they are in a warm and cosy box with one or more lamps. 

    Like an incubator. 

    Or a valve amp.

    I have sold loads of items on eBay, talking high value items and never had an issue thankfully. The highest value item was an Avalon L25 and fortunately I sold it and made all my money back as I got it for a bargain. My biggest issue with eBay is the seller fees, which is just extortionate, as a company they must make an absolute fortune! But it is the best market place for traffic. I am certainly glad to have found the fret board for buying/selling guitars as they are priced right on here and not marked up to account for fees. The more places like this the better!

    I'd rather set fire to something than sell it in eBay.

    And just like a household pest that you can’t get rid of he’s back with 2 days to go until the return is closed forever.

    ” After much thought I've decided I can't live with noise from this amp I'd like to get it back now soon as I can always get another it's virtually unused and not gotten into no changes made rsvp to arrange and we can be released from this”

    Not going to lie, any politeness or goodwill has now evaporated.

    “ You are joking right? This is just getting ridiculous now, are you going to change your mind for the tenth time in about half hour then if I accept the return? Fine just bring it back this evening at 5:30pm so I don’t have to deal with you anymore. I expect the amp to be treated for fleas beforehand as you mentioned that you had an infestation in your house and I’m not willing to have my house infested also so please get that done and bring it over this evening”

    It could have been much worse to be fair

    Having the Amp treated for fleas, and the risk around it would amount to damage and you can, under eBay policy, deduct part of the refund amount to account for this. You can raise it with eBay chat once he's back with the amp, though I'm not sure how it would work with an in person return. https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/member-behavior-policies/condition-returned-items-policy?id=4763

    There won't be any fleas.  It's all horseshit, like having to buy some valves from the USA.

    Sorry you're having to deal with this, had a similar joker when I sold my PS4 eBay eventually sided with me as they never showed any sign of actually shipping the item back.

    5:33PM...give him chance...he's probably still bouncing a flea-infested amp off the guy's head in his driveway!
