Hello, following a request for a return, the seller is refusing my request. Legally, we have a 14-day right of withdrawal. A dispute has been opened with PayPal (payment method). I would also like to open a return with the eBay platform, how can I do this? Thank you
"Legally in both cases the right of withdrawal exists" = no
The right of withdrawal exists ONLY in the commercial code, so for transactions with professional sellers.
That is absolutely not the case in the context of an "arm's length contract", which is governed, for its part, by the civil code for transactions between private individuals.
That is precisely why eBay requires professional sellers to accept returns for convenience (= withdrawal period), but lets private sellers refuse them (since they are not subject to it).
What is the eBay customer guarantee for? If we’re no longer allowed to request a return in that case, then we can all sell defective items and refuse refunds, which ultimately amounts to a scam
The customer guarantee is the same for pro sellers or private sellers in the event of non-compliant delivery.
But absolutely not in the case of a return for personal convenience, which is what is called the "cooling-off period", and if you reread my post carefully I clearly specified this point.
Your question is about the cooling-off period, not about non-compliance = did you phrase your request badly??🤔

Mentor1 year agoHello @ygke8253
the right of withdrawal only applies to professional sellers.
If you have already opened a dispute on PayPal, you can't open one on eBay.

Mentor1 year agoAbsolutely not...
The right of withdrawal does NOT apply if your seller is a private seller.
