Donedeal seller ignoring me after selling defective item

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to recover my money. Bought an American style fridge on Donedeal, seller said he could get a friend to deliver and we agreed at a total price of €300. Payable upon delivery. I did not inspect the item as I live in Drogheda and item location was Dublin, but seller assured me times without number via text message hat it was in perfect condition.

    Fridge was delivered but didn’t power it on immediately for safety reasons. When it was safe enough to turn it on, I realised that it was very noisy, door won’t close properly and it’s not cooling at all. Seller had said item was in perfect condition, he is now ignoring my calls and messages. I feel robbed please any advice will be appreciated thanks

    Private sale, no come back unless it's a business...

    Why would you pay for something you never seen...

    I’m afraid it’s buyer beware in this situation , in future use sites like adverts that has a seller rating , it’s much safer

    Does it really matter ? I forgot to delete the quotation as I’m replying on a phone not a computer , I’m clearly replying to the question asked, did you really feel the need to take the time out of your day to reply to a obvious mistake????
