Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

The did not receive it in the mail yet....and they leave for vacation soon.
Buyer msg w/return basically says sorry for the trouble I'm leaving for vacation soon and I can't pick it up from post office so I'll return it then order it again in 4 weeks...

Anyway for me to avoid this return?

You could try to fight it it but if they really want to return it then they will be allowed to by eBay

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

Have you contacted the buyer?

Never a dull moment with Retailer77 and the sales front :)

With what reply?

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

No reply but suggestions to deal with the issue.....

How is the item being sent?

Is it already sent?

What INFO have you gathered from the buyer to deal with this?

I feel incredibly fortunate to not sell the items you do to attract such odd and basic selling problems.

My suggestion is to do nothing. If they open a return request then take the return. Why fight with such things? Are your items hard to move so you feel the need to force the sale? Or are you desperate for the funds? If so, that is a terrible mental habit to get into.

@Retailer77, you have the worst luck my friend lol.

Taking the return would cost me $45 out of pocket..that's a rough hit

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

Why would the return cost u so much??

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

Item value is $450..eBay commission already taken..plus I offer free shipping..plus the return shipping I need to pay all comes to nearly $45 if not more

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

If they do not pick the item up it will get returned to sender

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

You surely can not enjoy this agony wth all these sales?

Are you scared of the buyers?

:pout:

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

If the buyer changes his mind why would you pay for return shipping? Just give them return address and be done with it, move on to bigger and better things...

Sending you some good vibes my brother!

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

you should get the eby fee back if customer is returning item... chalk up the rest to the cost of doing biz online...

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

Retailer77 focus on selling. You have to much Anxiety. Chill out and take control of things that you can control. 99% of people that wanna return are buffing call the bluff! Things like this is side tracking you. Deal with it when you have to cross that bridge not before!!!

if you were selling $100k a week or whatever it was you said you wouldn't worry about these issues when theres a 99% chance you won't be able to do anything about it, they just come out of your profit.
Get item back,sell item again, done.

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

Yep. Called him out on this earlier as well. $100k a week, and $45 is an issue...

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

It's probably too late, but what I would have done is accepted the return and when he doesn't return the item in time, just call ebay and close the case in your favor. Once they realize they still want the item, they will just keep it.

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

There are a lot of people too lazy to return items too...

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

I would tell them to refuse the package so its returned and you don't have to pay return shipping and the ebay fees will be given back to you when you cancel the order. You would lose out on the initial shipping but that's business.

Re: Buyer wants to return an item because....
 

Even i make only 1% profit after fees&shipping out 100k a week, $45 would not be an issue :)
