So I sold my broken Macbook as spares/repairs on ebay.
Its landed with the buyer today and hes claiming that its been opened and as such was not as advertised and now wants to know "what Im going to do about it?" Im going to contact ebay but thats going to be tomorow evening at the latest.
I know ebay tend to side with the buyer and Im fearing that they will here but surely when hes bought an item that advertised clearly as broken they cant take his side?
Would appreciate any advice guys. Its seems the buyer obviously makes a business out of stripping mac's so he clearly talks the talk - which I dont!

Thank you @Cirrus
In my ad I stated it had never been looked at by a professional however hes taken that as never been opened (taken apart etc) I bought it second hand and to my knowledge it has never been opened (I know previous owner and he hasnt been in it either) although I obviously cant guarantee that.
However this guys had it roughly 24 and been inside it and is now saying theres allsorts wrong. My point remians though, it was sold as faulty. He knew he was taking a punt on it. You cant renage on that when you arent happy with the purchase, surely! My other argument will be that if he had concerns about the internals he shouldve asked before placing a bid or not bid at all?
Im wholeheartedly expecting ebay to side with him though.

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Thanks guys. @FelineGuitars I have never opened the casing but the buyer has been inside it as he has sent me pictures of the supposed "issues" theres certainly no damage but as you said he couldve just been pillaging parts, something that never even occurred to me!
Cheers guys, we'll see how it plays out but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not going to go my way........
option 2 - he sends it back for a full refund
simple as that, ebay cant force you to give a full refund unless he posts it back. never give partial refunds.
Phone him tonight and he was very difficult and super slippery. My concern is that he runs a business selling Mac's as spares so he clearly knows what he's talking about and exactly the right thing to say.
He's intimated that he will find a "greasy substance" inside the Mac which proves that I've been in there! Asked me for a partial refund (which I think will prove his undoing) and when I declined he shouted and hung up!!!
I've let eBay know everything that's gone on but as its all over phone calls I'm not sure how that'll work! Fingers crossed.
