Soldato
You seem to be forgetting it was the buyer who initially offered to send the photos. The buyer offered, albert asked (rather forcefully) for the photos and a whole raft of details about the "computer specialist", the buyer responded saying "no worries" but apparently hasn't gotten around to sending the photos yet.Are you mad, he should not need to ask more than once, if I had bought a processor that had bent pins you could be sure that I would have taken and sent photos before this was even asked of me.
Fairly reasonable so far. The obvious next step as the seller is to kindly request the photos again.
It seems albert gave the buyer the impression he wasn't going to take any steps to resolve the issue (assuming there is in fact an issue), so the buyer figured that was that and left negative feedback.Secondly I would not have left negative feedback until the issue was resolved.
The buyer may well have been a scammer, but I don't there's any solid proof of that yet...
Edit: What would be the point in a scam like this, anyway? What does the scammer have to gain?
Bearing in mind the buyer's original request was to return the item for a refund, the only potential scam I can think of is if the buyer had an identical CPU with bent pins in the first instance that he would attempt to pass off as the one he was sold. Then again, if he's subsequently going to claim the bent pins can be fixed for £35, why go to all the hassle of buying a used CPU and scamming the seller for the sake of £35?
