ETSY on \"The People\'s Court\"

. I paused flipping channels because I heard "etsy". Turned out to be People's Court!

Oh, please tell us more. What does the case involve?

 

[nostalgic*collections]

LOL. I have to confess I did watch it.

A buyer sued a seller over custom items. Evidently she posted in the Alchemy section. She wanted someone to put rhinestones on t-shirts she had already bought for a wedding event.

The product was obviously bad.

The judge says the BUYER would have WON.... BUT evidently the buyer had accepted a small refund that negated any lawsuit. The refund was an acceptance of a settlement offer.

Kind of interesting!

You know, I would have guessed that it stemmed from an Alchemy order!
Interesting, that the refund functioned in that manner, in this case. Thanks for the run down. And isn't it a thoroughly enjoyable guilty pleasure, that trashy show?

My guilty pleasures: trashy tabloids and The People's Court!! LOL.

I don't think we get people's court out here, but I am all over the trashy tabloids lol

Oh, funny....I saw Courtney Love rambling about a class action suit against etsy, wondered if it was her.....

Interesting indeed!

But how foolish of the buyer to accept a refund, then take the seller to court. If buyer had intended to take the seller to court right from the beginning, she should have not taken the refund. Accepting a refund as satisfaction of a complaint likely negates the right to other recourse. You can't say "I accepted a partial refund to settle my complaint, but, hey, I'm still not happy so I'm going to take further action." If the refund was agreed to bilaterally, then buyer is SOL....
