ebay and the buyer have ripped me off

[roosandrew]

ebay asked me to return a faulty item ,I returned it and now the owner and ebay are refusing to refund me it is over $300.00 aus dollars, is this a common occurance out there??

[foxette-in-sox]

So you opened a dispute through ebay, is that correct ?

And ebay instructed you to return item to the seller, is that correct ?

And you provided proof to ebay that you'd returned the item, is that correct ?

So what does it actually state in the dispute now ?

Need to know a bit more info if we can give advice on the best course of action

Ebay almost always side with the buyer (despite who is in the right) so if you followed the correct procedure for the return and uploaded tracking then you need to appeal 

Did you pay by Paypal?

Did you return it with tracking?  

It must be returned with tracking to show it's delivered.

They can't just take your word for it.

edit: the neg you left says you purchased from America.

From the item description Stawks :-

"All this part needs is to be plugged into the engine"

      But, but, but.   It's a rear fender for a Kawasaki

Ah yes of course, that's where it needs to be plugged in................

Did it have Christmas lights on it 

But was that or something else the basis for clearly not as described?

[imastawka]

Conflicting descriptions.

Title says Mint, but in the listing it says 

Excellent usable working condition with some light scratches and usage marks, please see the pictures for more information. All this part needs is to be plugged into the engine.

Possibly a careless copy and paste job by the seller?

I think I would have been looking elsewhere or asking seller which description was correct before buying

Which may have happened of course, but I don't have my crystal ball handy
