Hello. I brought a dd camping hammock off eBay. A month ago. In a new, never been used condition. So I stupidly didn't check it. On holiday this week in the woods so I thought I would try out the hammock and found a long split on one side of the hammock about 8 inch across the hammock width way not long ways. Has anyone repaired a hammock before. If so what is the best way. Thanks

Have you left feedback on Ebay yet?
If you haven't then message the seller and if he doesn't play ball raise a dispute with Ebay and Paypal for supplying goods not matching the description
If you have left feedback then it's harder to dispute the transaction.
As for repair a picture would help to see what needs doing but it sounds like you'll need to put a patch on it and sew it in tight.
You can always raise a dispute, but if you havent left feedback then you can usually get a replacement more quickly and easily by just messaging the seller; disputes are best left until the seller doesnt behave professionally
Repairing it depends on the matirial, if you have a sewing machine you'll get much better results in terms of strength and longevity.. but getting a replacement is the best option tbh (unless its covered in mud.'then you are pretty much at the mercy of the seller

No i stupidly left feedback already. I have contacted him. I will send him some pics but don't hold at much hope.
Most sellers are pretty reasonable i find, probably because of ebay and paypal buyer protection
I've had similar recently. PayPal allow you 180 days to start a dispute and escalate it to a claim. Start with the seller, if there's no reply etc, open a dispute. eBay then contact the seller on your behalf. If that doesn't work then escalate it to a claim.

Don't think he was a trader. I can understand him not wanting to do anything about it. As I left feedback saying it was ok. then 3 weeks later I said there was a problem. I think I have found a cheap material on ebay. Luckily the mother in law is handy with a sowing machine.
Doesnt really matter what he wants, statutory rights cannot be affected by anything a seller says or does or wishes
As long as its in as-new condition apart from the tare, you are completely within your rights; and he should be able to return it to the manufacturer for credit anyway, at most he looses a few quid postage for not checking the product before sending it out (assuming it wasnt shrink wrapped or something
