Buyer threatens to hold my product hostage on Blocket (English)

Howdy fine folks,

I recently made a deal for 6500kr on blocket with one individual who agreed to the deal. However, once I sent his package via blocketpacket, he messaged me that he had regretted his purchase and wanted out from the deal. I naturally responded that he cannot do that since there is no "ångerrätt" between two private people. He then threatened me to not pick up the package for 14 days since Blocket has a term of service which states the following: "If the buyer does not collect the package in 14 days, the item will be sent back to the seller and the buyer will be refunded". I am fairly certain and this is illegal due to the fact that it enables buyers to regret their purchases and simply use this loophole. SELLERS BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU SELL WITH BLOCKETPACKET! IT IS 100% ON THE BUYERS' SIDE!

Anyway, so eventually he forced a deal on me by threatening to hold my item hostage for 14 days without me being paid. Earlier we had agreed that if he bought it for 6500kr, I would pay for "frakt" which i swished the "frakt" cost back to him since he paid it through blocket for some reason. However, I was forced to bring it down to 6000kr in order for him to collect the package. I agreed and said that I would return 500kr back to him. Once I was paid my money, I offered to give him 390kr back and keep the "frakt" costs since the final deal ended up being 6000kr. Now he is yelling at me and lying that I never swished back even though I have the damn transaction recorded. And he also wants to report me to the authorities for lying to him. I am not even going to give him his 390kr at this point since he extorted me into lowering the price AND blatantly lied about frakt.

@Nucky: Yes, I did contact them multiple times both before he extorted me and after he forced a deal on me. Blocket ingnored all my cries for help and since they do not have a phone number, it is very hard to get a hold of them if they deem you too problematic to deal with. However, they cannot recall the money from my account since I am already paid, but still it was a nerve bending experience so say the least.

@wargreymon: You are correct, but I believe that you missed a key point here. He threatened me to NOT pick up the package to even check and see if it is what I said it would be. He simply used Blocket's term of service which ALLOWS the buyer to not even pick up the package and have it sent to me while getting their money back. This enables a loophole for buyers to receive "ångerrätt" in a scenario where they should not get it. He did it simply because if he collects the package, the only way he could potentially return it is when the products is faulty and/or does not fit the description of the add. So, he cannot return it for the sole reason that he regretted his purchase since there is no "ångerrätt".

You can review it under point 7.

@pacc: I highly doubt he would escalate this to the courts for 500kr. But if he does, I will gladly go there and even lose the 500kr as long as he gets to go through trouble like the way he extroted me into agreeing to the new price.

@Tobitheo: Yes, indeed. He cheated his way through to get the price he wanted after agreeing to the initial 6500kr. He pulled an ass move, and I don't see a reason to be nice to him and give him his 500kr.

Thank you for noticing the loophole. I contacted "Hallå Konsument" and they said that when people use blocket, they automatically accept to their terms of service. However, the 14 day return thing is not under their terms of service panel and I doubt that it can be counted as terms of service in this case from the law's perspective. I contacted them multiple times regarding that point, and they ignored me EVERY SINGLE TIME. I believe that they know there is something wrong with that point and they're not willing to rectify it.

I have saved all our conversations and also blocked him. If he wishes to take this further, he is more than welcome to take this to "Tingsrätten" and the police. But it will cost him significantly more than 500kr to push this, and even if he does and I lose, I will gladly pay him 500kr. I am not trying to scam him here, I am teaching him a lesson about respecting the deals you make, or the other party can pull a similar move.

You are absolutely correct! I have received my money from Rocker Bank after he "godkänd" the product. I am not going to hold up my end of the bargain where I agreed to give my item to him for 500kr less. He needs to learn his lesson and not try to extort sellers into submission. Although he has the receipt with the package which has my full name on it. Even then he will not be able to do much. If he tries to threaten me IRL, then I will simply make it a police matter.

Not to mention that I have already been paid and WILL NOT accept any returns no matter what, since we did not agree on having any "ängerrätt". The product has 3 years guaranti but is in perfect condition. So if any problems arise, he can RMA it for a new one.
