MC019 - buyer wants refund for delivered item
Hi - I could use a little advice:
I got a MC019 the other day, and apparently eBay sent a notice to all buyers of my previous listings (of the same item - there have been only about 6 sales total).
One of the buyers opened a case and wants a refund, even though the item was delivered (i have the tracking #). Question: Should I dispute the "not received" case with the tracking # information, or will this risk bringing further attention to me and possible action from ebay (like a suspension, etc....?). Is it wiser to just refund the buyers money to make it go away quickly and quietly?
The amount in question is only $59.00.
Here are some other pertinent details of my situation:
- I have another solid main eBay account that I don't want to jeopardize (this is my main concern).
- I did get a MC019 on the main eBay account about 6 months ago with my first listing of this same item (when I was young and naive and didn't know about any of this stuff!)
- I then opened a 2nd eBay account specifically to sell the remaining items (This is the one that the current MC019 and the opened case is related to).
- This 2nd ebay account has 13 total feedbacks (100% positive). A few of these are for the item in question, but the rest are for my purchases.
- Both of these accounts share the same paypal account - I did not attempt to go stealth at all with the 2nd account. Maybe this was a mistake?
Please let me know what you would do based on your better experiences and knowledge!
Thanks!
-M
