• buyer didn't return my fork despite opening return and my money being held for over 3 weeks, despite me providing return label.

    Called ebay today to tell them item not returned and they closed in my favour, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if the buyer appeals it will be reversed as, well, it always is isn't it? Giving serious thought to just closing my account and selling locally. Total sham protection for sellers and just had another buyer who bought my CAAD moaning about the marks in the carbon lay up on the fork which are just part of the manufacturing process. Looking at eating another 30 quid to get that back if he decides he doesn't want it. Superb.

  • I don't think appeals once closed are ever successful.
    Thats what eBay told me, and said Paypal wouldn't either.
    In my case the seller was refunded as the delivery was held up at customs. The item arrived the day after the case closed. The buyer actually then paid me after I sent a snotogram email but they didn't have too.

  • I've not heard a sniff from buyer or ebay yet... I think I may have gotten in there first so it's gone my way and hopefully, as you say, it can't be reversed. Would be nice if I didn't have to send a prepaid postage label before getting to this point but hey ho... After this my ebay selling days are done and dusted. Lucky your buyer did the right thing anyway!
