The bot said nobody could take<BR />my call, and have a nice day.<BR />Gonna try again later, customer to his credit is ok, asked him to post it<BR />to me and I would pay postage, but he's not bound by it, just hope he will,<BR />there are decent people out there, I know I would because I would feel<BR />guilty, problem I have is that I don't know where I went wrong processing<BR />the return.<BR />Thanks for your help<BR />Regards Phil Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:37:36 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support/re-open-return-for-returns-label/m-p/7999979#M342256 dd1495 2026-02-18T12:37:36Z
