In September there were a BUNCH of glitches and sales plummeted for everyone. It wasn’t just managed payments.
Yes, my question is what is the time limit if the buyer initiates on that last day? Can I call in after 5 days? Is it 10 days to auto close? Do they get another 30 days?
I sent them a message explaining why I opened a return.
And as expected, they’ve already refunded me and closed the return. Man that was fast!
I’ll be calling ebay once I’m off work to report this seller. Will it do much good? Probably not.
I have to do something though.So I just requested the return, they don’t accept returns but I opened an INAD so what will likely happen is that I get a refund and keep the item.
The item shipped from PA and the name and address on the return for the seller is someone in California. Drop shipped and likely a fake name. Oh man this pisses me off so much. I don’t like being an unwitting pawn in a scam.So I dug a little deeper and I saw this feedback from another buyer in their feedback profile:
I didn’t get the same car seat as what I ordered it but I got a much better one!
(Private listing)Yes, all of the sellers feedbacks are “private listings”.
I feel dirty… I’m going to go ahead and request a return.
Ugh….as soon as I read the bad english in that link…
This is totally what is going on here.
Do you have data on what your monthly Sell thru rate was prior to using this service and what it is after? I am curious how much value you are actually getting from that service.
I’ve had a case like this. Paypal rep outright told me over the phone that this was an open/shut case in my favor. Low and behold, a few weeks later they took my money and the 20 fee. You are screwed with a credit card reversal. If you call in and raise a stink, they may give you a one time credit. I did that a couple years ago. This time I just didn’t have any energy left for it since I had already fought the ebay fight and the paypal fight. I let it go.
Some people are just not good people and have no qualms ripping people off. For $20, the dollar I spent on the item, and the cost of shipping the problem went away. I’m ok with that.
I’ve used it. Not a great tool, but handy in a pinch.
Here’s a listing I pretty much had to use it on due to the size of the set:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/264644980748That’s all fine and dandy, but what about when a seller waits until day 29 or 30 to open the return?
I cut out carbs except veggies/nuts, Walked consistently, don’t snack/graze, and restrict my eating window to a few hours each day.
It’s generous of you to take a return. I would have told him that he has a software issue he needs to figure out and good luck. No way I’d give a return in this case.
It would definitely be nice if vacation mode would override all handling times to your designated return time AND properly communicate the expected shipping date to the customer at checkout.
eBay is TERRIBLE at communication to customers. This is where Etsy, poshmark, and Mercari and owning ebay. I bought something on Mercari recently and I was shocked at how much better the communication to me, the novice buyer, was.
What an awesome story! I’m happy to hear you are able to work towards being financially independent!
I fell victim to the recession back in 2009/2010 and lost my job. Bigger contractors moved into the territory my employer worked and started taking bids from us. I was low man on the totem pole. We had a small child and my wife was pregnant. Using the aid programs available to us (unemployment pay, WIC, health insurance for pregnant women/children, Food stamps,etc) I was able to maintain everything I had worked for until I got a new job 6 months later. I’m VERY thankful those programs exist. In the end I got a new job that paid DOUBLE what my old job paid.
