Hi all,
I've recently sold my billiards table on the website Gumtree and someone agreed to buy it via emails and phone calls. I requested a $200 deposit (sale price was $700) as they wanted me to hold the pool table and remove the ad deeming it sold until they were ready to get it moved.
I did this and a month later, they have emailed me to say they want their deposit back as the place they're moving to is not available for another 2 months.
Do I legally have to refund their deposit? We have turned away prospective buyers in the meantime.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
