Why does eBay massively favour Buyers over Sellers on returns? Is it just because of incompetence?

"We've thoroughly investigated the case and found that the buyer should return the item to you since the item doesn't match the description in your listing."

 

Yeah, you guys did a great job! Very thorough!

As a buyer I feel far from favoured over sellers on Ebay. Lately I have bought a number of items from overseas sellers. They are now slowly arriving and boy oh boy am I disappointed. I have received some real rubbish. The items are nothing like in the listings, they are beyond poor quality and don't fit properly. They also have a very strong chemical smell and are not handmade as claimed. And that's the items that have actually arrived. Now to get a refund I will have to pay for return postage which is more than twice the cost of some of the orders. This whole Ebay guarantee - if the order isn't as described you get your money back. No, you pay horrendous amounts for return postage to overseas destinations to get your refund. I am certain some overseas sellers are fully aware that return postage costs prohibit buyers returning items.

Pretty simple answer to your problem, then.

Don't buy asian carp.

How did you go about getting the decision reversed? Did they give any reasons for reversing it or why they made a mistake the first time?

Totally agree curmu-curmu. Am sick of receiving the rubbish they send and all the lies they have been telling me.
