I sold a user a preluber motor 10 weeks ago, 9 weeks after receiving the item he tells me it makes a grinding noise (it is a heavy duty item)...and he demands a refund, again 9 weeks after receiving the item. What should I do? I never once stated it had a warranty or a return policy if it was damaged.

hmm...

It'* eBay, buyer beware. Things happen, break, fail... It worked fine when he started using it, right?

its on him now.....no fault of yours

as long as you said "no warranty item is AS-IS" then you're fine.

tell him to have a good day.

or say since you are a returning customer i can offer you 1% off of the next motor you buy. but offer xpires in 2 hrs

After 9 weeks it is on him. If he had contacted you within days of getting it you might have a problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just beware of retaliation in feedback.

ya if he already left ya poss feedback. the worst he can do is leave folow up, but i wouldnt realy worry about it.

He has yet to leave feedback and said he would leave negative and get a lawyer involved if I did not return is money

That dude is SOL, and I'm not talking about my fellow moderator. 9 WEEKS? That'* better than the warranty on A LOT OF STUFF!!

A LAWYER? Tell him to go for it. Not a lawyer in the world would give a ****.

Deal is done. He abused it for 9 weeks.
