I was contacted by a buyer claiming a in hand warmer was damaged in post, offered refund in return of item regardless of condition, offered to send pre paid lable or refund n receipt of a phot of proof of poatage ... Didn't want to return it ... Now left negative feedback ...
It's not quite the way to deal with it! You should advise the buyer to open a "not as described case" in the resolution centre [link below] and - as you say - send a label through the case. Then you would refund and get fee credit.
But for £3.95 do you really want the broken bits back? If [and only if] the buyer opens a case there is an option to simply refund without return.
You can still offer the option to open a case for your refund and fee credit. If buyer is then happier you could offfer a "feedback revision" request. I am guessing that buye simply was "disappointed" with the service though so it may not work
