Buyer asked for a return because they "found a better price", but my listing said no returns.

Hello,

 

I've recently sold an item and have shipped it off to the buyer (it's currently in transit according to tracking). As soon as I shipped it the buyer has asked for a return as he stated "I found a better price". Because my listing said it does not accept returns, I have the option to decline the return request.

 

I'm just worried that if I decline it, the buyer will come back with a "not as described" or "damaged on arrival" and I'll be forced to refund and lose the item.

 

Is it safe to decline the request? Can the buyer make multiple return requests? Is it just easier to get them to ship the item back and refund them? Do I have the right to make them pay for return shipping, with tracking?

 

I've never had any issues or means to ask the community anything, so any help is appreciated, thanks. 🙂

What he seems to have forgotten is that if a payment is made through paypal the buyer can still make a claim through paypal....it makes no matter whether ebay is involved or not.

And eBay have an absolute right to terminate any account for any reason. And the account holder has no legal redress.

 

You might like to ponder that.

 

Although, if you're so versed in the law, you will have done so already.

Better idea they contact elena , methinks

 

They certainly share the same lawyer by the sounds of it all (or knowledge of the law anyway) 

 

And the same opinions,the same way of putting things,same attitudes,same opinion of the same people on here

 

Could be destiny,on a friendship level at the very least

Good luck these days for the OP trying to request the buyers email address. HA! That will accelerate the suspensions.

 

It's the law.....no, it's the vibe.........yes, it's the vibe.
