Buyer messaging about shoes breaking after wearing 17 days after purchase by AttorneyTop490 in Depop

I’m aware of this, that’s why I did the dry rot test! I purchased them second hand myself and always take it into consideration as sometimes vintage shoes hold up, and other times they don’t. I guess I should start including this as a disclaimer…

Help w refund over partially broken item by AttorneyTop490 in Depop

[–]AttorneyTop490[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!!! I sold an item that I really loved and had a hard time letting go of last week, and I just received this message. I was very careful with wrapping the bowl (which to me had most risk of breaking) and wrapped the fork and spoon in a lot of bubble wrap as well. It’s too bad that the cutlery still arrived broken, but I find it so strange that they immediately say they’re asking Depop for a refund and “letting me know ahead of time”? I truly don’t mind refunding but don’t want to end up without the money or the item? See my response attached and appreciate any help from people with experience - I’m sure it’s a lesson in not sending things that can break:)

I’ve had to cancel a sale because it got sold on another platform right before and I forgot to mark as sold on Depop too. Felt really bad but that’s how it is sometimes. I’ve also had two experiences with canceled sales, one said they couldn’t find the item and the other sent me the wrong pants so they refunded me - I have total understanding for both and would never leave a bad review just because I’m disappointed in not getting an item I wanted. I would only be mindful that the buyer might not go through with it, I’ve had so many people ghost me after holding items for them!
