Hi has something not worked loose inside have you had the sideplate off to have a look

My first thought would be that the pinion gear might not be moving back properly when put into free-spool. The pinion often causes problems with re-engagement too (not going back into gear properly) so it might just be sticking, possibly it's picked up a little burr on the edge that can cause this. Or it might just need a good clean & lubrication - very hard to diagnose without seeing it as it could be something else entirely (like a bent spool - but that's unlikely).

Wonder if the seller has had the Mag side plate off & not got it back right. Can be a sod & might make some noise.

Hope he's got it sorted by now, it's been nearly a year.
