carousell buyer threatening to make a police report
so i sold an item on carousell to a buyer and in my description i wrote that i haven’t had the old issue of the sensor picking up.
So i reckon it was working fine as i tested it prior and it didnt show any signs of the old issue popping up , so in my eyes it was working fine.
we meet up and i allowed him to test it out and there wasn’t any issue so we agreed to the deal and i handover my item.
more than a week goes by and he sold it to another buyer and the other buyer told him that it is not working anymore and that it was faulty and had a defect the whole time.
buyer msg me saying he’ll make a police report along with screenshots that i said it was working fine.
in my post of the item i’ve already written a disclaimer no refunds and that reading it means that you understand the issues stated and risk of issue that might occur after purchase.
what should i do, as this is my first time encountering this. thank you
TLDR sold an item to buyer buyer tested it out and it was working fine afterwards buyer sold it to another buyer other buyer says it’s not working and that it was faulty from the start first buyer then msg and says he’ll make a police report and how i failed to inform him of the defects

- tested the item on the spot before accepting, no issue.
between then and selling it on, suddenly have issue.
sounds like his problem, not yours. - Trying to scare you to give in only. If the buyer say he use the thing and find out there’s an issue, maybe he still can do something.
But now he SELL TO ANOTHER GUY after taking ahold of your item, and the issue comes after the item was handed over to the next guy, you can just say he was the one who made it faulty. Checkmate. He made it easy for you - No, do not feel threatened OP. More than a week had gone by and anything could have happened during that 1 week when the item was in that 1st buyer’s possession. Both of you tested it out and it was working perfectly normal. So it’s no longer your responsibility when the 1st buyer went ahead to purchase it.
