LITTLE OLD LADY RIPPED OFF????

Linda from Henderson

Hi to you all.
I just want your opinion on this matter. Not necessarily going to reply, but will read with interest.
On 18th December 2018, a buyer from Trademe came around to buy a suitcase from me. He arrived before pressing "BUY".
I explained that legally he had to "buy" before he could take it away. That happened, and he went away happily.
A couple of days or thereabouts, he texted me saying that the corner of the case had very slight damage which was on my photos and neither of us had picked it up on inspection
I very stupidly offered him a refund if he brought the case back, meaning bring it back straight away.
I must add, this was not sold as a new case.
FIVE weeks later he has arrived back from overseas and had five weeks use from the case, and now is asking for a full refund.
I am feeling rather upset over this. He is a businessman and probably used to wheeling and dealing.
Opinions please!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
