Good Girl or Bad Girl

Ok story is, I sold tickets for a concert on ebay 3 weeks ago. Got €240 for them, they were bought for €99.

The said concert was cancelled.

I have gotten an email to say that the ticket money is to be refunded on my credit card.

So should I give that money to the person who bought the tickets off me or should I keep it all to myself.....

Please help me decide...

You should give them back their €240.

humbert · 03-12-2007 03:30PM

I'd give them back the 99, you're not responsible for the thing being cancelled so just give them back what the organisers gave you because of the change.

Give it back...i presume your not a lowlife thief? then dont act like one.

you have to ask :rolleyes::rolleyes:

indeed.

There's no such thing as karma, you probably won't suffer as a result of keeping the money.. but it'd still be wrong.

Cathmandooo · 03-12-2007 03:31PM

Yeah give it back, festive spirit and all!

Pherekydes · 03-12-2007 03:32PM

You have no choice. It's being refunded automatically.

kev_s88 · 03-12-2007 03:32PM

keep the money and wait and see if the people who bought your tickets come looking for the money back.otherwise keep it yourself

I voted yes because its the nice thing to do but it doesn't mean I would do it. They knew the risks involved in purchasing the tickets from E-Bay.

star-pants · 03-12-2007 03:34PM

What would you want if you forked out 240 for tickets to a gig you wanted to see and it got cancelled?
Your 240 back or 99 back?

The original 99 is being refunded by the promoters to the original buyers.

OP is asking about the 240.

hopalong85 · 03-12-2007 03:36PM

You should give the 240 back. Oh and you shouldn't be touting tickets either.

junkster12345 · 03-12-2007 03:36PM

yeah give it back, its the honest thing to do, and your also getting your money back on your card, so nobody is at a loss.

Lawless_Samurai · 03-12-2007 03:37PM

If it was me I'd give em back their 240 but thats just me. I know some people who wouldn't!

You sold an Ticket for €240 for an event that has now been cancelled, you should give the €240 back to your ebay customer. You won't be out of pocket.

I wasnt touting, I had bought tickets and then my work do was confirmed.

I put them on ebay at cost price.... I didnt make anyone bid on them...

The person at the time was very happy to have gotten them,

Like I have been happy to pay over the odds for tickets in the past to gigs I have wanted to go too!!

Quality · 03-12-2007 03:39PM

can people please confirm if they are talking about the 99 or the 240?

In that case I wouldn't give them the money back It's their own fault really.

RxQueen · 03-12-2007 03:40PM

id give them back the money if they asked you for the refund on it- fair is fair

Wossack · 03-12-2007 03:41PM

So your a shining beacon of honesty, but still have to ask the question?

Binomate · 03-12-2007 03:41PM

Keep it.

Quality · 03-12-2007 03:42PM

I thought it would make for an interesting poll/argument?

Terry · 03-12-2007 03:42PM

Do not name the concert.
Do not speculate on which concert it is/ was.

ScumLord · 03-12-2007 03:42PM

I'd give it all back, bar fee's and I'm scum.

Give the 240 back or nothing at all. They were never dealing with the 99. It's your conscience that you have to live with.

Your poll doesn't really help with that distinction.

roy123456789 · 03-12-2007 03:42PM

Give them back their money...... you keep the refund, no-one loses out and your e-bay rep stays intact.

alleepally · 03-12-2007 03:42PM

There is only one possible answer to this and you have to do the right thing - "do unto others" - if you do otherwise, you really are a bad girl.

Obviously. If she sold on ebay, then ebay has her details. She can refund the money or ebay can do it, with a stiff penalty.
