Bought a ZT blu Bowie from a guy and he assured me it was bnib/ mint... I wasn't home and my gf opened it up for me a described it to me as she opened it.( It was not damaged..no way no how in shipping as it was packaged very well) .. it had a scratch on handle and had modeling / wear around clip on anodizing. .. needless to say when I confronted him about it he got very defensive and started saying she scratched it and went on to say I changed scales...lol... That really pissed me off... He had to have known it was scratched and wear on anodizing. I'm gonna have to start getting a third party involved at packing and shipping. He did agree to take knife back and return my money...but after I couldn't trust him to send what he said.. I'm damn sure not gonna trust him to send me my money after I send back knife. We had been chatting for a while and seemed trustworthy... What pissed me off was he screwed me and blamed me for it. You can't trust anyone one anymore .. especially Kevin Kirkwood

If the transaction was done here, and his reputation is overall good, I would still do the exchange. I suggest you both end the accusations(at least for now-they just make coming to a rational solution harder) and work this out calmly. Mistakes(in description happen) and you just need to work out a solution to put things right again.
You may want to read the PP discussion sticky-it will give you an idea of how many members view the use of F&F on transactions

Smh another I did the guy a favor and did F&F and got a item not disclosed. Seller got mad and blamed buyer. My god the song never changes just the singers. To the op you screwed your self and if I was you I wouldn't think of sending that knife back until you had your money.
 
How is it a favour to the seller to pay F&F?

Just pay the little bit of extra and use G&S. The little bit of extra $ for G&S IS the favour. Putting yourself in a vulnerable position is not a favour, it is stupid. At this point you have to hope the guy does you a favour and returns the money.

To me this is the equivilent of buying a bag of weed in a city you are not familliar with through the "just give me the money, wait here, and I will be right back" method.

I think what he means is that a seller will set a price which is supposed to include fees per Paypal's TOS, then ask a buyer to use F&F to save them those fees. So many buyers don't understand the risk here, or think "This guy is cool, I can trust him. I'll be cool and save him the fees".
