โI followed eBay return procedures, however the buyer-provided return tracking shows delivery to a different country than my registered seller address. Iโm posting to highlight a potential loophole that may impact other sellers.โ
I included the screenshot. Since Iโm an Australian seller and the item was returned to the UK instead of being delivered to me in Australia, I lost 1.5K. I have canceled the international shipping option from my listing.
Sandy Brach not in Australia its scootland area.
Im trying to save other fellows .
Kind regards

The sheer fact that they did not ask for return shipping, tells all.
Theyโve sent โsomethingโ to a mate in Scotland.
Have you been to HELP (top of page) and typed in โspeak to agentโ?
When you do, cut n paste this thread, along with most pertinent dot points.
Good luck!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for your helpful advice โ I really appreciate it.
Yesterday, I contacted eBay by phone and the customer service agent advised that they would try to resolve the issue. However, after that call, I received an email stating that the case cannot be reopened and is permanently closed in the buyerโs favour .
Would you still recommend to talk to agent after closing the case permanently?
What is confusing is that both screenshots clearly show that no return to me .To avoid this situation, i asked buyer before shipping still i faced this hard time and lost the money.
Thank you again for your guidance โ I truly appreciate your support.

Yes, certainly keep contacting themโฆ. itโs worth 1.5k to you. How many hours work is that?
You can also contact them via social media ie Facebook where they are reportedly more helpful, and exposed!!
