I recently sold a very expensive watch through eBay. It went through authentication and then arrived at the buyers address. Within a few hours of it arriving he had sent a picture of a "gap" in the watch - between two moving parts. This gap was clearly pictured in the ad, and is only visible when the moving part (the reversing watch face) is moved.

He is demanding it is faulty despite photos clearly displaying what he is determined is a fault, but it's just a part of the watch.

I already gave him a £700 discount when buying the watch as we negotiated a deal through the offers system. He is now asking for me to send him another £700 so he can get this "non fault" repaired. I have refused.

He has now opened a case.

Unsure what to do - I gathered that eBay authentication also checks for faults so I should be covered on that front? But apparently the whole system is very unpredictable and can really rule in anyones favour?

It's not faulty. And what he is describing as a fault is clearly pictured and is just a part of the watch. Is it worth just refunding him? Or should I hold out?

Photo with the arrows is his, photos without is a screenshot of one of the many original pictures i took on the advert.

Received an email saying the case is now on hold "We have placed the case on hold to allow additional time for us to review the entire case. No additional action is needed from you at this time."

I'm very worried

Many thanks in advance

Recently purchased a techart autofocus adapter. Allowing for Leica M mount lenses (or adapted equivalents) to autofocus on a sony mirrorless.

Can essentially have an autofocusing, pancake sized 35mm 1.4 (artizlabs) for under $500. An autofocus 50mm 0.95 (tt artisan) for under $400. An autofocus f1.2 prime like the 40mm voigtlander for under $1000.

It's such a game changer. I've used it for so many different old vintage lenses, both native M mount and adapted. M42 Helios etc, Leica summicrons (well, a chinese copy anyway 😂), random vintage soviet lenses.

While the autofocus isn't as good as a GM lens obviously it's really not far off native. I'd say like 60/70% the speed of a standard G lens. Definitely not suitable for sports or wildlife, but everything else it's absolutely sufficient.

Promise this isn't an advert, just thought i'd share how much of a game changer it's been for me, especially as barely anyone seems to be using them despite the huge numbers of people using vintage adapted glass on their sonys.
