Re: Two ebay/paypal disputes help!
buyer A, refunding from a different paypal was a very bad idea, as it is not technically a refund , it is just a sent payment, and it was not even from the receiver paypal. Was there a note on the sent payment saying what it was for? and you are sure it went to correct address? I would immediately explain this to paypal. You say you sent a different amount though you said to encorporate fees? that's unhelpful too. It could work out ok for you, fight your corner and keep explaining it. Another issue is if this ebay or paypal goes down and is banned, your husband's is linked to it (although it possibly was anyway before). Are you being scammed? maybe, but it is a rather half-hearted attempt if it is, the buyer may have sensed you are inexperienced and wants to benefit from the confusion. However you have to allow for the possibility that they do not see the payment refunded, and see a different amount from another sender and cannot comprehend, so explain it to them. One tip if it does not go well, is for your husband to dispute the payment and get it refunded back to him, but wait on that for now.
buyer B, the return postage issue, it could go either way, but usually the buyer pays return postage, your only downfall could be a determined buyer complaining and the picture you put on the listing. I would wait for the outcome of that one. If there is tracking and it was received by buyer, then it is up to the buyer to return it with tracking, if it is a not as described case, it must be returned with tracking to you, stick with this, as those are the rules.
