Mitre saw tripping fuse box | Buying

Hi all I, I hope you can help me out here. I brought a mitre saw from ebay and collected yesterday. 1 hr and 30min drive away but needed it to cut some sleepers with the 305mm blade. When i got there he powered it on for like 10 seconds with the blade spinning and showed me all the functions on it and he seemed like a nice fella, not someone who would sell something faulty. Today I've powered it on and like 8 seconds later it tripped my fuse box. I tried it again and the samething, this time it lasted 5 seconds. Tried it again and it tripped the fuse box and it lasted 1 second. Thinking it could be my fuse box. I've tried it without an extension lead, different sockets, I've switched off the switch for the oven, incase it was overloading the fuse box. I took it to my mums house and tried it in her garage and the same again tripped the switch straight away, I've even changed the fuse. Where do I stand with this? He showed it powering on for 10 seconds with the blade spinning, so now it looks like I've broken it when I haven't even had any chance of using it. I have messaged the seller and waiting for a response. Any help much appreciated.
