[QUOTE="Lord Geoff, post: 1721365, member: 42001"]More wrongful is debatable. For the sake of argument though let's assume they are "more wrongful", and you are "wrong but less wrongful". Basically, you are upset because you unintentionally made a boo boo and the seller didn't do his due diligence and then didn't want to take responsibility for the purchase, which was presumably part his fault and part your fault. Why then, should they side with him and not you? Again, I think it comes down to possible abuse.
