I sold a couple of sofas on Gumtree and the person who bought it arranged her own courier. I reduced the price from £250 to £150 and asked if she wanted to view it first. A week later I am getting messages that the sofa smells of tobacco smoke and she has tried cleaning it.... Although she has said the sofa's are lovely themselves. I cleaned both sofa's myself and I can honestly say I have not noticed them smelling of smoke. I don't smoke, I was never asked if it came from a smoke free home. However, my partner does not smoke in the front room. She is now asking for a refund of £30 which would make her happier ..... I sold them in good faith, what are my rights as we used paypal for the transaction.
