Confusion Regarding eBay.

[BENZE220AMG]

Ebay no longer imposes fees on sellers for listing advertisements; instead, they levy a nominal charge on buyers for protection services.
The customer chooses their preferred courier; nonetheless, the seller remains accountable if issues arise, as has occurred with Evri in my previous experiences.


A few days ago, I sent an electronic item.
The buyer selected the most economical shipping option.
It came today between 2:30 and 4:30. At 5:15, eBay informed me that they had resolved a return request for it.

Since standard delivery was selected, I will not incur charges for the return, and I will not be getting the goods back.

If I comprehend this accurately, the buyer now has the thing without charge, and eBay does not anticipate that I will make a payment, since the funds are presently accessible.

It cannot be, or eBay has suddenly become a charity.

No one I know will sell on eBay now that the restrictions have been altered.
Advantageous for purchasers.
Anything except that, for sellers.

Excessively costly and very susceptible to theft.
Ebay mostly favours purchasers as well.

If the individual desires its return, it will be sent back to you.

I see a fraudulent scheme by the purchaser. Insufficient time to unbox and evaluate.
However, it explicitly states that I will not be receiving it back.
It states that they have issued a reimbursement on my behalf, at no expense to me.


I have initiated several returns over the years, and eBay remains uninvolved until the vendor fails to provide a refund.
This is too rapid.

Perhaps further clarity will emerge thereafter.

You may withdraw from the new postal and buyer protection programs... at least temporarily. I possess.

Edit: According to her, who engages in extensive eBay transactions, one may no longer opt out of the buyer protection system; nevertheless, opting out of the postal plan remains possible.

I examined it and was unable to comprehend how.
However, when matters get convoluted, maybe because to my lack of proficiency with eBay, I tend to lose patience and revert to familiar tasks.


Life is too brief if I cannot see a means of transcendence.

On many times, I sought a return from Amazon and was instructed to retain the item despite receiving a full refund. On a separate occasion, I requested a refund due to the non-arrival of an item. A few days after obtaining the complete refund, the item was delivered to my doorstep. I contacted Amazon to express my intention to make a payment, but they advised me to retain the item without charge. How peculiar.

Purchased a coffee machine as a gift due to Mrs. Me's envy.
However, the box was damaged and marked with permanent ink, rendering it unsuitable for presentation.
The vendor faltered, and eBay issued a refund. No one has requested the £280 machine.


Mrs. Me is indebted to me for a treat.

In Jersey, it is rather normal for us to have delays; we purchased a tabletop dishwasher that did not come as scheduled, prompting us to inform Amazon, who issued a £200 refund. However, the item came a week later. We also attempted to make a payment, but as you said, they advised against it. We will delay our remarks on any absence to avoid this rather unethical circumstance.
