A couple of weeks back I sold my Tamron adaptall SP 90mm f2.5 macro lens on ebay because I was desperate for money.
It was in perfect working order and in very good cosmetic, mechanical and optical condition when I posted it and because I knew this I did not offer any return/refund policy on the auction.
A couple of days after I posted it the buyer emailed me to say the iris was'nt stopping down and that he had fixed it once already and it had gone again. And then he accused me of selling him a dodgy lens.
Understandably I was completely outraged by this and after a few emails back and forth he opened a dispute case with ebay. Several emails later, the case was escalated then eventually ebay made a final decision that he should send the lens back to me and I should refund him, despite my protests that he had broken it and no returns could be accepted as that would be illegal due to the conditions of the auction text.
The lens turned up a few days later and ebay automatically refunded him from my paypal account.
Now I'm stuck with a broken lens and no money again! 
I have appealed their decision and I have been told I have to go to a police station to file a report about it and then send a copy of the police record to them, all within a week. This seems rediculous because who do I complain to the police about, the buyer or ebay???
Anyway I'm hoping I can fix the lens myself but I need photos or diagrams of the rear iris control mechansim, and what it should look like on a working copy.
Thanks in advance. |
