Mike Godden, 72, was cancelled the auction for his vintage 1970s tape recorder when he realised the device was damaged
A British OAP was ordered by a German court to pay almost £12,000 to a furious eBay bidder after he pulled an item from sale online. Mike Godden, 72, advertised a vintage 1970s tape recorder on the auction site and had bids starting from eager buyers at 99p.
Bailiffs even visited the home he shares with his wife Rebecca in Southampton, Hampshire in an attempt to get hold of the cash. Mike said: “It’s just crazy. This should have never gone to court.” He told Mike they would "meet at the courthouse in Frankfurt" and the case went before the German Regional Court. Mike joined the hearing online but lost when the court ruled the Rome I Regulation, a contract law adopted by the EU in 1980 and retained by the UK after Brexit, made an eBay bid binding.
