I'm confusing myself on the Paypal/eBay linkage.  I feel like eBay owned Paypal at one time and just somewhat recently sold it?

The new payments thing MIGHT be good.  eBay will make regular payments to sellers bank accounts I think you get to choose bi weekly or monthly, something like that.  They did some stupid song and dance about how they weren't going to charge some fee but then they are raising something else so you aren't really saving anything.

The shit part for me is I use a Paypal Micro Payments account for some of my sales like the magnets.  The micro payments account charges 5 cents and 5% per sale.  A standard account charges 30 cents and 2.9% per sale.  The break even amount is $12.  If the payment is under $12 you save money with micro payments, if its over $12 you are better with a standard account.

Also the new system makes it against the rules to sell coupons, so that will be gone soon.

Maybe the policy is good for buyers but as a seller it annoys me to no end because a buyer can choose any option for the return.  I just got a return for a blu ray that I sold.  Person said I sent the wrong item, they wanted the DVD not the Bluray.  The problem is the picture was a bluray, the title said bluray, the item specifics said bluray.  Doesn't matter, buyer said I sent the wrong item so I had to pay for the return shipping and I had to refund them the original shipping to them.  Given the chance I would of just refunded them and let them keep it since I probably didnt pay anything for it and it would of saved me the cost of return shipping.

I got it back the same day I was mailing Dave's loot box so I am pretty sure I included the bluray in the box.  lol, you're welcome.

It better be a good one or I will be pissed and demand a shipping label to send it back to you! lol

Sooooooooooooo, Funny you say this, because I am having an issue with something I bought on eBay right now for my F150.  I got the item (replacement tailight) but it is wrong.  2004-2008 F150 trucks are all the same.  This one was labled that it was for an f150 in that range 4x4, which I have.  DIdn't fit.  Too long and not all of the clips lined up.  I bought ANOTHER one on eBay that had better pictures of the back that was listed as 2004-2008 f150 and it looks like it will fit.  eBay did not print a label automatically for the return, and the guy is pushing back.  

I'm trying to tell the guy, look, here is ANOTHER one I just bought (you can see the eBay thing that shows I bought it) because yours didn't fit.  I am not trying to rip you off, but it doesn't fit.  Now he isn't answering, so we will see where this goes.

Did you actually open a return request with eBay?  What reason did you use?

If you did open a return he is likely getting e-mails from eBay saying things like "You have 7 days to respond".  From the buyers end after 7 days you should be able to ask eBay to step in and make a decision.  I'd say as little as possible because the more you say the more they can try to use something against you to deny the return.  I would just say this product is listed as fitting a 2005 F150, I own a 2005 F150 and it doesn't fit.  And specifically use the words "item is not as described"

When an item is "not as described" the seller will have to pay return shipping.  Or they may tell you to keep it, or offer a partial refund... which you dont have to accept.

It is weird.  I have received no notification of a refund that I can find.  I did definitely do refund request and I think I did item is not as described.  We have been going back and forth a couple of times, but I cannot find anything that says that this whole thing even happened (except messages).

If you can I would go to the resolution center and click the radio button "I received an item that does not match the sellers description" and follow the steps there.  Preferably before the seller denies and closes the return request.  It may be more difficult or not possible to do after that happens.  This is the link for the resolution center - https://resolutioncenter.ebay.com/

Do you know if I can cancel an existing refund request and then do another one with this reasoning?  Right now it won't let me do anything because there is one open already (refund request).
