You pay for the label and then upload a copy of it + it's tracking number to the eBay return request. Then your buyer prints the label and sends the shipment out. Since you've uploaded the tracking # to the return request, eBay will update you as the return progresses and you will be expected to issue either a partial or full refund once the tracking number shows the return has been delivered to you.
Involving eBay or trying to get the buyer to purchase their own label with your money aren't the best options. | My way = no defect.
It works.
You don't have to call, just upload a cheap USPS label since they won't be able to use it,cancel it, and wait until buyer escalates it to ebay and then eBay to send you email with a SR#
* What's also good besides not getting a defect using this way, is some buyers don't respond and you win the case.
And calling eBay with the phone registered on the account or a number not registered to a account at all is perfectly safe, and they'll tell you what to do.
Or you can just do what phaz0rz does. Boths ways are options.
I also send the label as a paypal payment for goods and services and I had someone couple weeks ago print the label from that payment, which since they never posted it on eBay, eBay has closed that case in my favor, and if it happens to get reopened I'm curious about it since it went to a different address.
So many hopeful opportunities.
