Refunds - can’t get in touch with eBay

Hi - I returned an item, the seller said they didn’t receive it. I can’t open a request on eBay either… or get in touch with ebay

 

I got in touch with the seller who was useless, left negative feedback, then they said they’ll refund me if I change it to positive, which I did. And then radio silence from them.

 

Grateful for any help here - getting in touch with eBay is the hardest part!

eBay's procedures for returns and refunds are so clear and simple to use use.  But it's such hard work when buyers don't follow them and then ask for help!

 

Firstly, we need to know HOW you returned this item? Hopefully by using eBay's returns procedure, and explaining the reason for the return. If the item was not as described, eBay would have required the seller to provide a prepaid return label (although they are in China, the item location was in the UK). If it was a change of mind return, you wold have aid for the label.

 

In either case, the item would have been returned with tracking. It the tracking record showed that it had been correctly delivered, or that the seller had refused to accept delivery, eBay would have refunded you in full.

 

So where did it do wrong? You haven't provided a single piece of information, not even any dates, to explain what you did or help us to suggest whether you could still get a refund through eBay. 

 

I doubt it. Frankly, if you have tracking proof of return, my advice would be to forget eBay and ask your payment provider e.g. credit or debt card issuer whether they can help.

Re: Refunds - can’t get in touch with eBay

Thanks for the reply here and you are right I missed some details 

 

As you say the seller is in china and return address is in the UK

 

Used the pre paid label, however when trying to locate the tracking info it simply does not show (error with Royal Mail). I have fulfilled my duty to return the item here per consumer regulations. 

How would a card payment company help here? Have not heard of this before, curious to hear more. Given its over 30 days they be limited here

If it's over the 30 day limit,  then eBay cannot help you now.

 

If you paid say with a Credit card,  turn to them now explaining you bought an item not as described, and request a refund.  Most card Companies have a 120 day buyer protection policy.
