Re: PLEASE HELP!!! ebay buyer fraudulently opened case against me
All of the above responses are exactly correct.
We all get these buyers from time to time. It is just a part of doing business.
When it happens, we always want to reach out through the computer screen and choke the life out of these idiots. Luckily, we do not yet have the technology to do this.
For the health and well being of your account and your feedback, when this happens you have to press the "professional" button in your brain. Never argue with the buyer. You can't win anyway. Now the goal is damage control.
Instead of: That is impossible, the item is new and the sun visor is attached to the main item...
Try this: I'm sorry this happened. Can you double check this? The visor comes attached to the item, so it would be very unusual for it to be missing. It might be folded up, since it is retractable. If it IS missing, I would be willing to offer you a refund upon the return of the item...
Nobody likes refunds but they are a part of doing business online and keeping your accounts. eBay and Amazon don't like to see a seller arguing with a buyer. In the second example above, it is not argumentative , but it still gets your point across. It is also less likely to trigger a negative reaction from the buyer. You don't win people over by telling them they are wrong, or by insinuating that they are lying.
Taking the professional approach is not always easy - in fact it can be EXTREMELY difficult - but it always ends in a better result for your business. Remember, eBay and Amazon usually side with the buyer anyway unless the buyer just says "I changed my mind" and a scammer is not likely to be that stupid.
