Buyer wants a refund for an item that has no issues (2024)

If they have opened a Not as described dispute then that is what you have to do. You have to pay the return postage and once you have it back refund in full.

That is ebay policy and if you dont and the buyer escalates the dispute ebay will force the refund without the return and you would also get a defect.

Not good news I know. I wont sell overseas too much hassle.

Probably many wont agree but if you have a problem it really costs.

Depending on how much the item cost it may be better just to refund.

Perhaps that is what the buyer is trying to get a free item but you can not prove it and ebay will always go with the buyer

REally upsetting and annoying when you know there is no problem but nothing you can do.
