Refund?

So I have sold an item on Ebay. I listed it as size 8 as that was the size I was told upon purchase. I am a size 7 and they were a bit too big for my liking. The buyer purchased about 20 something days ago and is asking to send back as they got the wrong size. I listed size 8 on my item and the buyer states that in the description there was an indication of Mens sizing so I cross checked the information. I accepted well below purchase price and am unsure of refund policy and what to do as the purchase was made quite a while ago, and It's been a certain number of days therfore I have withdrawn the money from paypal. What are the policies on refund as I stated information correctly and all?undefinedand

They are listed under 'men's shoes - occupational", so if they are women's sizing you need to refund

The buyer sends the boots back to you and when you receive them you refund.

 

Email the seller and say that you will accept the refund - especially if they are women's boots and they were listed under men's boots.   Perhaps you could clarify that point for us?

The boots sold on the 14th January so only 18 days ago.

They were listed under Men's Boots.  If they are women's sizing you definitely need to accept the return.

 

You will need to put the money back into your paypal account to do the refund and you should also pay the return postage as the buyer is not to blame for your mistake.

Redback don't make women's boots, so the listing was absolutely correct. 

 

If the buyer thought they were women's boots then that is their mistake.

 

So this would be a 'Change of Mind" return, which you have in your listing you don't accept, so you don't have to. Tell the buyer politely that the listing was correct, refer to website, etc

 

If the buyer opens a return request for Not As Described, I would phone ebay because that is an abuse of the returns system.  The boots were described correctly.  The buyer can just wear it. XD

 

If you want to accept the return anyway, that's up to you but you don't have to.

What an absolute crock.  Abuse of the return system my little pink botty

 

Some tradie bloke or other worker ant, that has no clue about who makes what is expected to know that "redback" only make womens boots - what a very arrogant assumption.  Not everyone knows who makes what brands.  For goodness sakes get real.

 

Buyer probably needs new foot clobber for work, punched in some key words, and 3 minutes later made a purchase.

 

Of course thats all assumption too, but nonetheless the predicament of return has occured totally due to OPs error. 

 

Listing goods in the correct category is essential on eBay.

 

it is not the buyers mistake, it is the OP sellers mistake for listing the boots in the totally incorrect category.

 

If they want their boots back, they better issue a return, as under the eBay money back guarantee it is an open and shut case.

 

OP make sure in the future not only list in the correct category, but include a decent listing description, including materials goods are made from and measurements - both of these tactics will see you have an improved selling career.

Redback and their distributers promote and advertise their boots to both men and women.

 

The OPs description is as unclear as their OP.

 


The OP has opened themselves to unhappy buyers by putting "SIZE 8, FITS SIZE 7" in the listing title.   More info in the listing description could have covered their butt - but zero helpful, butt covering info there.

 

 

I will concede that my comments re category may be incorrect, however nonetheless stand by the majority of my comments.

The only difference between men's and women's Redbacks are, women tend to go for the smaller sizes, e.g. size 5, size 5.5 or size 6....unless they have huge feet. There are no separate men's and women's range, they are all exactly the same. They are promoted to women these days because more women are doing what was once considered to be men's work, like trades, construction, mines.

 

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a tradie or other workr ant who didn't know what Redback boots were. They are one of the more popular brand of work boots.

Except that apparently Redback DON'T make womens boots.

 

But carry on, regardless of fact. You're good at that.
