wrongly boxed items sent

[poms_down_under]

I have tried to purchase a mini bench drill from 3 different sellers now , and when it arrives it a mini bench sander !  The box clearly states its a drill but its not inside. The sellers try's there hardest to get you to keep it offering a $10 refund , item cost $75, So you get it for $65. but the sander only cost $52, Not  so daft these sellers hey ! has any one else had these issues with wrongly boxed items ?

Not the issue here though

OP thinks they can just keep opening cases over and over and it won't be a problem

Wrong item sent claims may be treated different to not as described claims.

Wouldn't the sellers also get flagged so hopefully it should sort it self out when there are no more to purchase.

eol, I'm pretty sure the OP is dealing with Chinese (Teflon) sellers, so it's very unlikely that any action will be taken against them.

The OP however, as said before, will be very likely to get their ability to open MBG cases curtailed if they carry on opening cases.

eBay’s Abusive Buyer Policy states:

❝Don't misuse returns

Not allowed

• […]
• Returning a high proportion (in number or value) of your items purchased. What is a high proportion may vary with individual circumstances❞
  
  

eBay can and will prevent a buyer from being able to make return/refund requests if they’ve used the MBG too frequently in a manner that indicates abuse of such protection. Banks do the same thing with customers who make excessive chargeback requests.

Not through the MBG you won't if eBay closes down that option for you.

Paypal will do exactly the same thing as will your bank on a chargeback...................

[sandypebbles]

How do you plan to get around eBay blocking you from doing so?

Same policies apply to you as ever other buyer 

But by all means, keep on doing as you are doing 

It is people like you who keep dodgy sellers in business

And quite happily by the sound of it

But, but, but Sandy the OP is speshul so the normal rules don't apply to them..........😎

It isn’t personal; eBay will do this as risk mitigation. It depends upon whether you are perceived by eBay as a risky buyer… and if you continue to buy repeatedly from sellers when common sense indicates that they pose a higher than normal risk of sending you an item that you will need/want to return under the MBG, then you will at some point no longer be covered by the MBG. In other words, eBay will make you assume the risks of your buying behaviour, rather than them.

To avoid the situation from reaching that point, make smarter decisions when you buy. Do not think to yourself, “It’s probably a fake or the same wrong item, but I’ll buy just in case it turns out all right, because if it does go wrong, I won’t be out any money because eBay will protect me from my risky choices.”

Think instead, “If it goes wrong, I will have to wear it. No refund, no return, just a dodgy sander that I don’t want and which isn’t safe.”

This is not a drill.
