Advice saught from sellers before I leave negative as a buyer

[drpeake]

I am asking here as a buyer, in the seller area.

I seek opinion before I leave feedback in order to be fair to seller.

Short version.

-I won a bid

-Paid there and then with Paypal.

-I wanted a torch and got a vehicle spotlight(Cheap and nasty)

      The torch was metal and a very very good price.

-Seller sent the wrong item

-I want the item, however, seller will only refund and not resend

- I now have to return item before i get the refund..i still 

        want original item.

Is this a was of fooling buyer if they don't get the full price they wanted?

Should this be a neg, neutral or positive.

I have to say, I am not happy, however, i dont want to over-react.

What are you thoughts?

Thanks

 Wow what a nasty piece of work now I know one of the reasons I gave up selling on Ebay...

   Very Sad.

I would just take the refund and leave negastive feedback as a few others have said

If you hang out waiting for the correct item, it mnay never come and a refund will be quicker and a lesser hassle

I wouldn't leave a neg. The seller has spent money for nothing already.

Has it occurred to anybody that the seller may have only had one torch, sent it to the buyer of the spotlight, and they won't return it?

yes, viewmont suggested that in post 13 - and I think that's what happened too - confused the parcels, haven't got another, offering a refund,

I would definitely not give a bad feedback if that was the case.
