HelloIt was stupid, no question, but a clear reseller with over 700 sales in not even 3 years claiming to be a private seller in order to exclude returns. (There are further clear indications of commercial activity)Now he has made me an unbeatable offer for a high-quality item (a €2300 sound system) that I had casually added to my watchlist (140€). What I didn’t realize was that this system only and exclusively works with a certain TV from a certain brand - I had asked AI whether the system was compatible with my AV, but AI just hallucinated. Bought on Sunday at 5 p.m., asked to cancel the purchase at 7 p.m., at 9 p.m. he rejected it on the grounds that a sale cancellation was no longer possible. However, he cannot already have shipped the item.What should I do now? According to German law, he would have to grant me a right of withdrawal, which he is trying to evade by falsely claiming to be private.
