ebay wants ID card, credit card statement and drivers license ...to process a refund?

[imjustme]

i finally got eBay to agree to refund me around $200 in credits i have on the legit, but suspended account. however ...yep, there's a however, they want me to provide their trust&safety department with a copy of my:

- id card
- credit card statement
- drivers license

..in order to refund me that amount. guess what reason they gave for it? they need to 'verify' that it is indeed me requesting the refund. yeah right, like i'm logging into someone's suspended account and requesting them to get a refund. they have my card on file, so it shouldnt be so difficult to issue a refund, right? i wonder if it isn't against visa/mastercard regulations to request all that information to process a refund.

either way, i wrote them back that i will not send them all that information over fax and i would expect the refund by next week, otherwise they would receive a chargeback and then they could see for themselves that it is indeed me :D

Don't send them ANYTHING. They will OWN you.

Back in the day when I used to pay ebay bills I charged back the last bill I ever paid when they suspended the account. This was in '04 I believe. Unless they have their act together, they are powerless to defend themselves against a chargeback. Ebay doesn't have a signature from you to prove you had any knowledge or authorization of it, so I'm pretty sure you will get it charged back depending on your credit card company's user agreement.

I did a chargeback as I wrote above and it got credited to my card today :D Funny enough, I received another email from eBay from an employee called 'Amy' and she told me that I still needed to send in the documents so they could refund me. I told them nevermind, I already got my funds. Thanks anyways :D

I wonder if the North Korean OP ever got very far on eBay, or if they gave up after this.

Ebay rep may not know he filed a chargeback,if he is in Korea,it could take time to reach Ebay .
I dont think charging back Ebay bills always work,else everyone who is suspended would try.

I'm sure it doesn't work at all in 2019.

What some sellers do is to choose to pay with bank payment,then close the bank account or empty the bank account ,yes,there will be NSF ,but they dont care,they dont intend to use that account in the future.
Back in early days of Ebay,we all pay with personal checks ,no other way to make payment and Ebay received its fair share of rubber checks !
