Buyer returns item stating my listing description is inaccurate which is not true

Can anyone advise on this situation? The buyer has requested a return stating the description was not accurate and the item of clothing was a different colour. This is totally untrue. My description was very accurate and the photo supplied by the buyer looks obviously  saturated to distort the  colour.  I clearly state No Returns, but as an honest and helpful seller, I have agree to accept  the return.

Will eBay refund the promotional listing fees, which cost over £50?! And can I deduct the return postage cost which I have been charged? Why should I be out of pocket because the buyer has obviously just changed his mind? Any help appreciated.

If buyers claim not as described, ebay believe them.

issue returns label & refund in full on return.

If you refuse or ignore case, ebay can force refund & buyer keeps item.

Yes it is annoying when buyers open this type of case, but nothing you can do.

You will not get anything back you paid to promote your listing - those fees are not refundable and, as you have agreed to refund, you can't deduct the return postage.

When the buyer opens a 'not as described' case (however unfair it seems), the seller is liable for the postage.
