I sold a Coat (via Ebays Global Shipping Porgram) to the US. The buyer conatcted me on Tuesday this week to inform me that he'd still not receievd the item.
Next communication i receive is that Ebay have refunded him in full without even a Resolution Case being started.
I've provided proof of postage,so if the itme hasn't arrived then surely Ebay should seek the compensation for the Buyer from there Global Shipping partners, as i fulfilled mny oblifgations by providing proof of postage!?
This is getting ridiculous!
Also, last week i had a similar issue arise where the Buyer made a false claim that my item was not genuine (when it had the retailers price tags on it!).
Ebay then agreed with the Buyer anddedcuted £7.89 return postage befeor informing me that they'd ruled in the Buyers favour!!
How is this a legal process! Then when the item has been returned all the Tags/Price tags were missing so now not only have i lost out on the sale/and been shafted on return postage, I now cant seel,the item as brand new with tags.
When i've tried to raise a compliant with Ebay i get no response! yuet they repsond to Buyers immediately!
the normal advice regarding Global is -
You need to be extremely careful how you handle this as you could be seriously out of pocket if you try to handle this yourself.
Your buyer needs to open a case for not received and you respond with the tracking number proving delivery to the UK Global shipping hub.
You cite that according to Global T&C you, the seller, are not responsible for any loss or damage in transit once it has arrived at the Global hub.
Seems impossible for a refund being forced by eBay without a case, so contact them -

On the subject of legal process should you be registered as a business seller on eBay
