DODGY SELLERS USING DODGY TACTICS

Hi guys. I bought a watch a couple weeks back. I gave good feedback nd they left me good feedback. a couple days later, I decided to return the watch. I had a chnlange of heart. and decided to take a hit on shipping which was 72$. so, I paid it, sent it off and went home and provided tracking to seller, seller said thankyou, noted. So, That was all good. So, I was browsing amd double checked the sellers return address, It was different to the one provided by ebay. I noticed this as when I posted it, I took a photo at the post office. The return address was similar, But, different. I lrealised this error, and quickly went to the post office the next morning right when they opened. and, I asked if they still had my package. LUCKILY it was not sent. So, I took ot home, went to message tome seller to CONFIRM the correct address. And he blocked me! I could not and still can not contact him, it's bizarre. when I go to contact it just says, 'user is blocked'. I am going annoyed because, eBay has terrible customer service and even worse it's holiday period. I want to return this, and now I am stuck with it because they decided to block me. I tested thier messaging via another ebay account. and, could message them fine. What do I do??????? I seems also, they have a %100 rating, obviously they know exactly what they are doing. and are probably avoiding a bad review? I don't get it. Then when I ask ebay to help. I can't contact them cos thier hours are always closed. I am getting to a point where I will be AMAZON only going forth when it comes to buying. I feel like I am being scammed on here with ebay allowing this stuff to go on protecting its sellers over buyers. I'd really like sone help. thanks

Between the OP and the seller (who has 100% fb) I think I know which one is dodgy.

Just sayin'

1) seller is in Hong Kong

2) they accept returns for change of mind.....did you contact them off your own back or lodge dispute via eBay rules?

3) you gave them tracking details but then went to P.O. & reneged - have you now lost another lot of postage?

4) what do you expect them to do?

Holy pocket watch on a chain…!

Presumably you addressed the return to the return address provided by eBay, which is the CORRECT RETURN ADDRESS. Had you let the parcel proceed, there should have been no problem.

The fact that you subsequently went to the PO and stopped the return must have made you look very dodgy to the seller.

The fact that the seller doesn’t want anything further to do with you is not surprising.

You should also be aware that the seller’s initial acceptance of your return request does not mean all was fine as far as he was concerned. It is entirely at the seller’s discretion if he decides to block all buyers who return items, or some buyers who return items, or just you.
