Hoping you guys can help me out here.
I recently bought a clutch from a seller on eBay. Seller had good feedback, it was a branded clutch (Exedy). I had the seller confirm it was the correct clutch for the car before buying. It arrived, took it to my mechanic to fit. He fitted it. Told me it was the wrong one and didn't work when it was fitted. Took it out, put it side by side with the old clutch, said it was smaller than the original and figured it was probably a mis-packed box.
I arranged a return through eBay and it's on its way back to him now. As this has cost me a significant amount of labour, I would like to claim some of it back from the seller. I've messaged him through eBay asking him to contribute £300 towards the labour incurred, will see if he replies. If he doesn't or won't pay up, do I have any legal options?
