    Returns for Not as described (fakes) for example prove costly for sellers, as they lose the cost of postage, and have to provide a return tracked label.

    Ebay cannot identify fakes from photographs, their staff cannot be expert on the millions of items listed to know what a fake looks like, so if you want a refund you have to use the system and leave appropriate feedback.

    You can still use the ebay money back guarantee to return for a refund.

    Because eBay can't see that it's fake, so require you to return it to the seller if you want a refund.

     

    You can leave an appropriate feedback follow up comment to warn other potential buyers.

    That is not how the Money Back Guarantee works.

    If you want a refund, you have to open a return case through Ebay.

    If the seller provides a label, you do have to send the item back to them - it's the same as if you made an unsatisfactory purchase at a shop.

    You would expect to return the item in order to get your money back.

    No, eBay don't want items sent to them so that they can 'authenticate' them and make a judgement call, they don't offer that service. eBay is simply a selling platform, sellers are responsible for their listings.

     

    eBay have a money back guarantee to protect buyers, but the item must be returned. 

     

    The seller pays for the cost of the returns label, you won't lose out by returning it.
