returning defective goods

[tos1964]

Collected and paid cash when bench tested the item it was found to be defective and not as described, contacted the sell who stated that he was selling it for a friend and therfore not his problem I pointed out that this was nowhere on the listing was this mentioned and that the item was post on his ebay account, and I collected it from his home address and I paid him the cash, again he stated that it was not his problem and gave me a phone number for his friend,  have rang this number several times over a span of 4 days no answer.

This person relisted the item after I lodged my complaint with an altered discription and changing from 30 day return to sold as seen no returns  and  immediately cancelled stating that the item was lost or broken

Notified ebay but because it was cash on collection nothing they could do just advide contact the seller  which I did but t

he seller became verbally abusive told me **bleep** and rang off. 

 WHAT DO I DO NEXT.

The seller described the Item (Marine Diesel Engine ) as Remanufactured, Recondition and in good working order,
as for buyer beware this does not apply gods must be as descried, be it private seller or retail seller.

`Collected and paid cash`

so i`m at a loss as to why you would go to the trouble of collecting an item and not make sure it was working BEFORE you paid for it?

your probably going to say that you should`nt have to check it as it should be as described, which to a point, is fair comment, but you should never take anyone`s word for anything, because like alot of things in life and on here, descriptions of anything is always subjective and besides, you don`t want to throw away money .

The item was a Marine Diesel Engine very difficult to test when it is sat on a garage floor.
