In April 2019 I purchased a 3D printer through eBay from a business in Melbourne for approximately $800.00. The wrong printer was sent by the vendor, which due to its small size was unfit for the purpose I had purchased it for. Initially I asked the vendor exchange the item, but the vendor prevaricated, offering me an ascending series of 'discounts' rather than accept responsibility for their error. I involved eBay and Paypal at the first opportunity, eBay then took the matter up with the vendor. I eventually received a full refund, but despite my having invited the vendor to retrieve their property, they have made no effort to do so. Could you tell me what my obligations to store, and ultimately dispose of the item are please?
