Selling an expensive mattress on Ebay.

Hi there,

 

I was hoping you could help as I'm still an Ebay novice! 🙂

 

I'm selling an expensive mattress on auction just now (starting bid £500). The mattress is used (under a year old) but in immaculate condition. I've specified the buyer needs to arrange for collection.

 

The people interested so far are going to arrange for a courier to pick up the mattress. My concern is that the mattress isn't handled very well in transit and the buyer receives it covered in marks. 

 

How can I protect myself? I've specified that I won't accept returns but can the buyer insist on a refund if the mattress is badly marked by the courier?

 

Many thanks for your advice,

 

Serena

I'd never buy a 2nd hand mattress, no matter how 'new' it purported to be.

 

Bad enough sleeping on cockroach-infested motel mattresses IMO

Just as well they are in the UK.

 

It's illegal, I believe,  to sell used mattresses in Australia for health reasons


So that is why there are 900+ used mattresses for sale on ebay?


Used underwear is also a no-no, but you can still find it on ebay......Image result for smiley throw up animated
