Dispute with buyer. How can I defend myself and contest it???
Summary: kittycran shares their experience with a dispute with a buyer on eBay, regarding an issue with the size of an item. They are frustrated by the limited options eBay offers for resolving the conflict, and question whether they can defend themselves. koalagris advises checking eBay's terms of use and mentions that it is possible to contest the decision after eBay has issued its verdict. kittycran decides to wait for eBay's decision, expected on 24/06, and tries to contact customer service to get more support. However, they still haven't received a response about this.
Hello,
A buyer opens a dispute for an item that supposedly doesn’t match its description. I won’t go into the details, just that this gentleman seems to ignore that an XL size can vary depending on the manufacturer. Anyway...
So eBay gives me 4 choices to try to resolve this problem
- Return (at my expense) of the item and refund ;
- Full refund (the buyer keeps the item) ;
- Partial refund (the buyer keeps the item) ;
- Contact the buyer.
And disputing and defending oneself, is that not possible for the seller ??? Because the person’s arguments make absolutely no sense.
Thanks for your opinions or similar past experiences.
