A sale dated December 12. The buyer bid and paid. Sent via Mondial Relay (as stated in the listing).. 1) the buyer never went to pick up their parcel 2) never replied to any of my 7 messages regularly informing them of the tracking updates provided by Mondial Relay 3) time passed and now Mondial Relay is going to send the parcel back to the original Mondial Relay point ==> I am refunding the buyer today and eBay is deducting the amount from my account for this transaction... 1) it's a small amount but the Mondial Relay shipping costs are on me 2) the item in question -which I could have sold to someone else- will have been unavailable for practically a month that person is very much alive (their account works since eBay was able to issue a refund) and of course they will face no sanction. Sellers (pro or private individuals) are by default considered suspicious and potential scammers: member for over 20 years, seller in the "PayPal era", then again a seller with the "new system", I had to prove my identity twice (passport copy), I had to go on at length for who knows how long about a **bleep** relay point postal code being different from the buyer's postal code... Conversely, a buyer who wastes your time, your energy and even a few euros, no recourse (except to block them, which I have done anyway), and they probably have the option to leave you a negative review. Ain't that just foooormidable?
