I recently purchased a watch from a seller with 100% positive feedback on Ebay. The seller DID say in their description, there were no returns on this item but they also claimed that the watch has been checked and all functions were working correctly.When I received the watch and I checked it over, I noticed that when advancing the time, the date changed at 3am instead of midnight as it is supposed to on this movement. (Citizen caliber e210).I said the watch was not as advertised and I wanted a refund. The seller agreed to my refund request and eBay provided me with a return label. I sent the watch back the same day and I know from Australia post tracking that the watch has been received by the seller. The watch was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and a padded bag when I returned it.However, now the seller has opened a case against ME and eBay has said they are reviewing the case. I am really confused - what is going on and where do I stand with this? I paid $535 for the watch but now I am out $535 AND I don't have the watch. What is this seller playing at?If eBay finds against me based on whatever the seller is claiming (and I have no idea WHAT he is claiming), do I get the watch sent back to me or do I end up with no watch and no $535?I'm pretty annoyed and confused because nothing like this has ever happened to me before when buying stuff on eBay and I am hoping someone here can provide advice or ideas about what this seller is playing at.
