I had ordered 4 mattresses which were delivered very late. So, now I want to return 2. They were not even opened but ebay is saying they will deduct 131$ each for not opening. What the hell. I want to return then and get my money back

Re: Refund for the return

Does the seller accept change of mind returns?

 

They are not obligated to do so

 

If not, the buyer is responsible for the cost to return them

 

No what the h about it

 

IF they are from either of the sellers who have left you feedback,

 

 this is clearly in both of the seller's listings who have left you feedback

 

Returns:
30-day returns. Buyer pays for return postage. If you use an eBay postage label, it will be deducted from your refund amount

(As much as I don't agree with this), You can open an  'item not as described' case  through eBay's Money Back Guarantee

if an item arrived after the latest  estimated delivery date. 

 

Exclusions and special coverage when the item  doesn't match the listing

 

The item arrived after the latest estimated delivery date

 

Covered   -   The return is treated as if the item didn't match the listing.

Re: Refund for the return

I do agree with this.

 

One purchases an item - with an expected delivery date - which the seller is responsible for - given their sending preferences.

The item is for a special purpose/occasion - the delivery taken into consideration.

It arrives so late other arrangements have to be made - the late arrivals are no longer necessary.

I'd be going for seller pays the return - on any grounds.

Re: Refund for the return

Surely then all 4 items are NAD, and all 4 should be returned.  Why should the buyer be able to pick and choose how many they keep.  

I wonder what the delivery rate was for 4 Units ,    and what rate is expected for return of 2.

 

I used to offer blanket returns, but eventually stopped COM as it was being rorted by buyers keeping part orders and getting full postage refunds,

Re: Refund for the return

That is what I would have thought

 

Not sure how the OP would go about opening a dispute for  only two not as described based on them being late (and how late were they based on the latest estimated/guess date) if all four were supposed to be delivered together by x date

 

 

It would surely have to be all or nothing in such 'not as described' cases

Re: Refund for the return

Gutter - seems buyers are literally able to pick and choose.

 

We don't know the circumstances of the four purchases.

 

If 2 are no longer needed due to late delivery - so be it - well - as far as I'm concerned.

 

We don't even have an idea of from where they were sent - whether individual or a bulk lot.

Unfortunately I would have to agree with you on this as I know I would have been tired of waiting after one night.

I looked at a couple of mattress ads from the last seller to give you feedback. 
Each ad had a tag that said free delivery in 2-4 days.  So very late in this case may mean they did not arrive for 2-3 weeks.

Just so you know in case you use ebay again, ridcha, if a delivery does not arrive in the time span mentioned in the ad, you can bypass the seller and open an ebay claim for an undelivered item.

 

The second seller also sells mattresses, amongst other things, so it is possible  ridcha bought his mattresses from 2 different sellers.

 

Ridcha, it is not ebay saying they will deduct $131 for each mattress. It would be the seller. Did you ask why?

Some sellers charge a restocking fee and even if it is not that, it could be the return postage cost? Although admittedly it does sound very high.

 

Your only recourse (I think) to get a full refund would be to open a not as described claim, as Casey said.

But it will depend on how the mattresses were ordered and arrived. If those 2 were a separate order to the other 2, then you could do it.

If, on the other hand, you ordered 4 mattresses at the same time from the same seller, then you probably have to open a claim to return all 4 of them as all 4 would have been late.

 

If you are not prepared to open an ebay claim-and that can only be done within 30 days of delivery- then I think you will be up for return postage cost, you won't get all your money back.
