Refund case

shellct — Sun, 06 Nov 2022 01:18:00 GMT

I purchased an ornament which was 'not as advertised' and requested a refund from the seller via Ebay. I posted it back the same day after receiving it (in the same envelope it was posted in). As the stamps had not been franked I used them as return postage. I did not attach tracking details with the item as I didn't realise I had to. This was on 22/10/22.

I'm now following up with the seller regarding the refund and they keep saying "refer to the the case you opened up with Ebay'. I don't know what this means and after scouring through Ebay correspondence and messages, cannot find anything that sheds light.

Can someone pls point me in the right direction.

You've been a member for almost 20 years and still don't know how to open a case/dispute?

The seller has zero interest in helping you as you have not used any of the tools which Ebay provides.

All you had to do was open a case for Item Not as Described, and the seller would have either had to refund you or send you a return tracked label if they wanted it back.

Open a dispute right now and stop communicating with the seller. Just see what happens, even though you don't have the item any more.

I am seriously astonished by the number of people who have appeared never to have read the Ebay guide on what to do when things go wrong.

Returning it with the same tracking number will show it was delivered to your address, not the seller's.
