I got an email yesterday from a buyer asking for a refund. After further investigations and some help from Australia Post and eBay, as it was stemming back from March 2016.
3 and half months to report a missing item and ask for a refund. All I can say is click n send your are a winner.

I've seen a couple of instances where the buyer has contacted the seller 2 - 3 years after the purchase to claim non-receipt.
I had one a couple of months ago, 2-year old purchase on a low-value fashion jewellery item, which said the item "didn't hold up very well", as the chain had become tarnished. The customer had actually contacted me not long after originally receiving it and I explained how to care for it in great detail (including preventing and cleaning tarnish).

How about a ebay user emails about an ended item saying "when the hell is my item going to arrive?" when they were the 5th underbidder on the item! That happened this week. Bizzare.

Lots of wierd stuff happening lately. More non-paying buyers than I've ever had before.
One accepted a second chance offer, then didn't pay. For a $2.50 item....lol.
I've got 3 orders, same item, from a country I don't send to. From the same buyer under 2 accounts.
Accounts are "numbers" and low fb, so alarms are up on that one......

I must admit I am always on the prowl for a bargain but I do laugh at people expectations. Your story reminded me of one sale I had,when I sold here years a go, it was a big chunky gold plated necklace I think it was about 70-75gms I had a buyer complain because it was not solid gold. I think gold was about $25 a gram then so, if it had been solid gold, I could of got approx $1,750-$1,875 in scrap value. He had paid about $80 + postage

What did you describe it as? If gold with no disclaimers about plating, or listed in fine, rather than junk, I would have hit you with a SNAD. Purchase price is a reflection on the seller's lack of nous, rather than a seller passing off junk as real.

That may be something YOU may try to do but I describe my items as they are

So why would the buyer expect something you are not offering?

Well I am assuming, like you, they was not very smart, The WHOLE point of what I wrote was about someone assuming something that was never said. Why people like YOU do that I have no clue. Now YOU can carry on trying to have your little dig at me, like you have tried and failed to do in the past. As I have said before anything you post does not bother me so knock yourself out keep TRYING pmslol
