So after this sale was, by all standards, over, the item gets dropped, banged around, maybe slammed into a car door a few times for good measure, all while the seller watches in real time, thinking “well, that’s not great.” But sure, let’s pretend none of that happened. A few hours later, surprise, the item mysteriously stops working. And instead of, you know, taking responsibility for treating a fragile object like a piece of luggage getting checked at the airport, the buyer decides the real culprit is the person who sold it to them in working condition and watched it get destroyed firsthand.
This is the part that never fails to be funny. The seller did everything right. Let them test it, helped load it, even made a special trip for change. And still ends up being framed as the villain because apparently once money changes hands, physics stops applying and nothing can ever be the buyer’s fault again. Refunding in this situation wouldn’t be fairness, it would just be paying someone for their own clumsiness. If you damage something after confirming it works, that’s not a warranty claim, that’s just Tuesday.
Sometimes the real lesson isn’t about appliances at all. It’s that no matter how accommodating you are, someone will still find a way to make their mistake your problem.
