I have made a terrible mistake, I bought a 5k on eBay I, got him to change it from Action to buy it now. it was up for auction I said I was interested in it and got him to change it to buy it now. The thing is he put in the advert he says * I bought a new one as this machine was "Hanging" I had it full of photos, the drive has been wiped.* I asked him what it meant but he did not answer. But I nought it anyway, but I was worried about it saying*Hanging*i I looked it up computing, a hang or freeze occurs when either a process or system ceases to respond to inputs. A typical example is when the computer's graphical user interface (such as Microsoft Windows) no longer responds to the user typing on the keyboard or moving the mouse. The term covers a wide range of behaviours in both clients and servers and is not limited to graphical user interface issues. Hangs have varied causes and symptoms, including software or hardware defects, such as an infinite loop or long-running uninterruptible computation, resource exhaustion (thrashing), under-performing hardware (throttling), external events such as a slow computer network, misconfiguration, and compatibility problems. The fundamental reason is typically resource exhaustion: resources necessary for some part of the system to run are not available, due to being in use by other processes or simply insufficient. Often the cause is an interaction of multiple factors, making "hang" a loose umbrella term rather than a technical one. I message d him hoping he had not sent off yet, he had, I asked him to cancel it because of what I found out about it Hanging this is the message he sent back to me. Message from the seller
It states its hanging in the advert.
The item has this morning been boxed, labelled and taken to be posted.
I have taken you at your word and removed the advert, re-listed it with a buy it now price so that e-bay are not upset then as agreed you bought it.
It's going to look awful if it now appears back on e-bay and will affect the price.
condition
Used: An item that has been previously used. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended
How can it be fully functionally when he says he says it has a *Hanging problem?*
What I would like to know is will eBay side with him because he put it in there about *hanging*in his advert, I would not have bought it if I had checked it out myself what it meant. He put this message under the advert*
I have had so many e-mails and questions so I state this openly. And stated the price he would accept for it. And get does say he is new to eBay. What are my chances of eBay siding with me bearing in mind he said it was hanging? I have made a terrible mistake.

Is this a problem I could sort out if I did keep it? If he had said it was not working properly, I would have passed it by. It should have rung a bell him not saying it was running well for you spec of it should, I was taken with the 64gb which thinking about it is overkill for me. I feel like an idiot.
