sh!tty Ebayer

[DubAndDubber]

I've recently bought 2 part worm tyres on ebay. Thought it was quite a good deal, two 225 40 18's for £110. With 6mm tread.

Firstly they took 11 days to arrive, in this time I had my mot which had to be put back until I had the tyres. They came in the day of the retest which I thought was lucky.



As you can see there's a nail in the tyre. The Ebayer sold them stating there had been no previous repairs, so he sold them knowing there had been.

So basically I'd like to warn everyone not to use Platinum Part Worn Tyres UK. wayne kerrS!

Not a dig in any way whatsoever, but I'd never buy part worns anyway! You don't know why they are part worn and not on a car, good scenario could be innocent and the car was being broken up...i'd hate to think about a bad scenario! I got a quote from a local well known tyre/exhaust place for the same size tyres but brand new budget brand for £130 for 2...you can find deals out there!

Have you contacted the seller?

Considering that tyres are a small area of contact between your car and the road, I would never buy worn tyres. The tread speaks for itself, but what about unseen sidewall damage? Has the tyre been involved in a heavy impact?
No thanks!

I'd personally rather buy part worns that budgets. I'd never, ever buy budgets.

I've contacted the seller and he wants nothing to do with it. I've reported him for false advertising anyway. I've got his address so if I'm ever up that way ill pay him a little visit!

'Item not as described'

they will find in your favour.

PayPal open dispute saying want refund item not as discribed etc. job done!

[Diamond Hell]

Raise a dispute and stop buying part-worn tyres you penny-pinching pikey!

They are literally the only thing between you and the road.

It's the damage you can't see on part-worns that will kill you, not the nail in the tyre.

I'm currently in the process of battling with a seller through eBay's resolution centre as I bought a MK3 grill to replace my one, description states all clips intact but the two on the far left side were snapped!

Not only that but it was damaged in transit too. (The clips were clearly broken prior to this as there was no broken parts in the package).

Seller is getting sh!tty with me over it but the damage is there and it doesn't match the description. Not really sure why people need to be so crap about things.

I've raised a claim but ebay want me to send the tyres back to receive a full refund. The tyres are on my car and have been for a few weeks now. I asked for a partial refund which I thought was fair but I don't think ill be successful.
