Quote:15 Know your rights.
If you use the Buy It Now button, rather than a standard auction, to buy from a UK based trader on eBay, you have all the same statutory rights as buying from a shop. If you make a purchase on eBay from a business seller, this means that you have at least a 7 day cooling off period when the item can be returned for any reason.
When buying from an individual the usual rule is Caveat Emptor - buyer beware. Providing your purchase arrives as described theres little legal comeback and the standard seven day internet cooling-off period usually doesnt apply to auction purchases.
