• sold a hard drive enclosure (the listing clearly marked as such) on ebay

    buyer now requesting a return because 'it doesn't have any hard drives in it'

    i don't have any option to refuse his return request, other than to 'resolve it with the buyer' which I am trying to do - but i'm doubtful this will be productive

    What are my options, beyond that? Just ignore the request?

  • You dont know if he is trying it on or stupid. It actually doesnt matter. I just accept returns with profuse apologies.

    The key thing is ultimately ebay will support his return however stupid the reason so you are now into damage limitation and avoiding adverse feedback.

    Its annoying, and I hate sucking it up, but ebay is structured in favour of the buyer now, and thats the occasional drawback of selling through a site with bigger reach than any other site.

    This. Arguing or trying to resist giving the refund will just ensure you get screwed over.

  • fuck sake - ebay will support his claim no matter how clear my listing was?
