I recently put up for sale an old 18K watch. The watch had been recently serviced and brought up to original Longines specs. I have the receipt of the service which I provided to the buyer.Upon receipt of the watch, buyer asked for a refund since he had broken the watch. Such watch was in perfect condition for a watch that old, 55 years. Buyer manhandled it and broke it.eBay forced me to accept the return and fully refund the buyer. In first instance they sided with the buyer in which I had shipped a defective product. I contacted watch repaired and I was provided with an email explaining what was done to the watch and that it had been restored to factory specs. I provided all these to eBay along with the phone number so they could call to verify. eBay reaffirmed their original decision.So now I am stuck with a broken watch that I spent $600 to service plus $256 in selling fees from eBay for a watch that did not sell. My whole eBay adventure has cost me close to $1,000 and now I have a broken watch.Thank you very much eBay.I am going to be dropping you soon. Good riddance.
