Could also be even simpler than that.
Dirty sensors on the sector gear.
I had that before and it does some weird sh1t to a CTW.

Going by the points already made, the fact that it took you 2 weeks to raise an issue with the seller, and that you refused the offer of a repair (under the sale of goods act, he can offer you a repair, replacement or refund), and the not so great trade history you have, I'd say it was a fair guess that you just realised you couldnt afford it and the novelty has worn off.

At no stage does the OP say he waited 2 weeks to use it or wait 2 weeks to speak to the seller or to make a paypal claim... He said if you read it correctly that he bought it 2 weeks ago!!! Why can't people read posts correctly before posting....

Again I do agree though the option of the repair should have been accepted after it was clear that the seller was not going to give a refund. He did actually agree to a repair and most don't.

I do think this has run its course now though as it seems that the OP probably knows what his options are (or not) and that he will either have to fix it himself, manage to get hold of the seller and hopefully he will send it back to be fixed or if what he is saying is 100% correct and has evidence to back up the post then the small claims court is an option.

I would though try and speak to the guy again in a nice manor or maybe try and get hold off him through others in this thread as there are others that obviously know him.

It does hint though that there was a time period between receiving the gun and actually using it.

The O/P is ambiguous, it suggests a period of time elapsed between receiving and "testing" at a site. I've asked the question TWICE in this thread, to clarify that, and have not had an answer.

My current opinion (based on what I have read) is that the O/P is not been entirely honest and not giving the full story, things are not adding up (imo).

Not sure where this is heading but IMHO IF I was parting with +500 folding ones of the Queen's currency I would do the business face to face and insist on testing it before doing the deal.

If there was no delay then under distance selling regs he has 14 days I believe and IS fully entitled to a refund.

However I could be wrong.
