To get the 20% don't forget to download the PU discount form from the donloads section of this site. This should go with the goods. PU Plus membership is needed to qualify for the discount.

Do you have (or know someone who has) an AC adapter for the K3?

This way you could check if the camera is at fault or the Battery/Battery connection.

Buyer returned camera and its definitely not powering up but does now have a heavily scratched area in bottom left corner at rear where it may have been dropped !
Trying to prove to ebay now that damage is new.
Where would you send a k3 for inspection?
Did the images on the eBay listing show the scratches?

Unfortunately it sounds like you are dealing with an unscrupulous individual.

Whatever way the camera is on its way for repair and buyer has agreed to pay for half the repair and postage (he agreed rather quickly to this).
Hopefully can still produce a silk purse from this sows ear😊

The fact you are having to pay anything means this isn't going to happen.

Still, maybe the extra you got from selling it on Ebay rather than here will mean you aren't too much out of pocket.

Looks like camera has been dropped as pc board broken off and damaged so now being repaired and serviced.
Will probably keep it now as a 2nd or 3rd body😊
Cheers,
