  • If he paid with PP Goods & Services there's pretty much no chance of not getting his money back from what I've read - eBay/PP are notorious for siding with the buyer and this case seems pretty legit.

    Not sure what the rules are about paying for return postage, but I think he should be entitled to sending it back at seller's cost too (or not at all if the seller doesn't want it back, obviously).

    Contact seller > See if they give a refund > If not, open eBay dispute > If still no resolution open PP dispute.

  • Yeah, that's my understanding; was bought outside eBay though still through Paypal goods/services. The main point was wanted to simply bypass communication with the original seller (as trust is lost and fear of being scammed again) so think I may advise he goes through first Paypal stage (where I think Paypal basically forward issue to buyer to deal with) then if no joy escalate. Many thanks

  • Yeah go straight to PayPal.

  • Ah I see. On eBay they do make you contact the seller first, to see if it can be resolved without their intervention. Not sure if PP do it that way too, but yeah no harm to just route all communication through them straight away so it's all on record.
