Yes, she could have asked about the sleeves before bidding.

I accidentally bought a betamax tape on ebay  It was my fault (didnt check description) so I never complained to the seller.

Sometimes buyers just need to use their common sense

I sold a mobile phone I believed was unlocked to this woman. She says it isn't, and instead of asking for a refund, she claims she took it to a shop and paid £10 to have it unlocked - which she now wants ME to pay.

Well, if you were a retailler, she wouldn't have cause to force you to pay up (it'd be a refund/replace jobby).  However, PayPal seem to be a bit on the idiotic side, so I'd watch them.  They can and do take money out of your account to settle disputes without telling you (banks can't do this), although I believe if you keep your account empty, they can't take any money that isn't in there.

I only use PayPal sparingly with "known" retailers, and have never had any problems, but I know enough people who have (and their report on Watchdog wasn't exactly good either).

Well Paypal have told me I have to give a refund - but only if she sends the phone back. So if she has spent £10 on it she's well and truly f**ked up!
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

You can sell the phone again and it definately will be unlocked this time!

Still, take it to the next Antiques Roadshow that comes your way.

looking on ebay now someone selling cream eggs starting price 50p plus £1 postage who would buy this?

Heh ... I've seen some not inexpensive Nikon SLR lenses (which were used) go on eBay for more than their new list price (e.g. a new 80-200mm cost £1000, and the used one went for about £1250).  Some people ...
