Poor effort from eBAY
I sent an item that I know was working ok but the buyer said did not work for the intended means . To save any hassle I agreed and issued a full refund .Now she wants me to pay for a returns postal label .I think they are at it and eBay have been as useful as trying to sell a one legged man a pair of shoes !

AS it is you have obviously refunded upfront, which in eBays eyes means you don't want the item back, so you don't have to provide a label, buyer gets refund and keeps item.
