ok.. from legal point of view..(still studying law, not lawyer) my 2 cent
RM800 deposit for an RM1100 item is considered a lot. 72.3% to be exact while the industry practice (normal spree) the most 50% i think.
although it might seems like the delay is very long (82days), but the buyer did contact u from time to time, so it cannot be considered excessive time delayed. The longest delay which i think from day 44 to day 82.
Unless you can proof that your total daily handling fees can cost up to RM800 till date, then you can forfeit the deposit. In reality, which i think storage for small item for 82 days won't cost that much.
If the buyer doesn't reply further, the industry practice is this..
sell the items away, get some cash, minus your effort in selling the thing (hourly charges), minus the money he/she owes and return the rest to your customer, don't anyhow forfeit the deposit if the amount is much greater than normal practice.
that's my 2 cent. thanks..
