Return case put on hold

Purchased an item (jacket) from an EU based seller via eBay.co.uk

 

Package was shipped quickly

Package was delivered a few days later.

 

On opening the package, it was quite obvious that the seller had sent me the wrong item.

seller sent me a jacket but was of a different brand than the one purchased (similar value, but not the item in the listing I purchased).

Contacted seller to start the returns process.

Sellers initial response was to deny the returns request, but later that day the seller did accept the return.

 

eBay showed as Return Accepted. Seller will provide label by Date.

No label received. I contacted eBay via callback and was informed that the case will be put on hold for 5 days. Will give the seller 5 more days to provide label. 

It is now showing the following in my account:

eBay Customer Support has placed the case on hold until Date 2025 to allow time to provide additional documentation. If we need additional information, we'll send you a request by email.

What does this mean for me? The seller in my opinion has already had several days to resolve this or provide a label. What is this extra time eBay are now giving the seller?

Good morning @sid34br 

 

The seller has accepted the return, so the ball is in their court and you are covered - they have effectively acknowledged their fault.

 

They now need to provide a prepaid return label and this is probably what eBay are referring to as "additional documentation".

 

If after the allowed time period a label is yet to be forthcoming, have eBay call you back via the following link and explain the situation... mornings are best to get helpful advice from Dublin who are generally excellent.
