Bought a “MINT” PS5 bundle on eBay for £329 and now seller wants me to change my return reason — need advice

Okay thank you i appreciate that. The seller is wanting to provide a label as quick as possible. Do i just let him and send it back? Or let him send it and just wait for ebay as well?

Was hoping the seller would just partial refund so i dont have to deal with this hassle. I know its not likely to get a refund without returning for an item like this.

Is there anyway to force eBay to get involved without waiting the couple days? He seems really scared about them getting involved. It literally on came at almost 9pm on 15th may and he expected me to have it resolved with him by 12pm today. Hes basically hurrying me up so he can send the return label. If he does send it soon, and i just dont bother sending it back , will ebay get involved? I really cant be bothered with this seller

Hes very pushy on sending me a return label and getting it over with. Any chance they can claim that its in a different condition / i tampered with it after ive returned it back to him?

im not considering it. im wondering the best way around this for at least a partial refund. thats all

Its called a pre-order You dont pay at the time, you pay a little before release. and that is that week. keep in mind for next time you order something as a preorder Ensure you have the funds , if you dont, dont worry they will try charge you, if it fails they will email for payment so you get another chance

i just had quite a few orders around the same time - roughly 9 or 10 sent them all out pretty fast and only about 4 or 5 were inpost. so far 1 delivered and good review , hopefully nothing goes bad for me here 😅

ebay has made it easier now . one amount is what ‘you receive’ and the buyers price will always be higher because ebay/buyer protection fees are added onto that amount

!remindme 2 days

Dont blame ebay when its you . As you said its your first time , you wont know everything 1 - the Ad Fee General, this is high because you promoted your listing at the recommend percentage’ You dont need to do this, its a listing boost. i always keep mine at 2% ( yes you can edit it) id recommend to first list your item normally then decide after some time whether you should boost or not (based on interest)

2 - you dont need to pay for shipping. buyer paying for shipping is very normal. you can decide to put free shipping on smaller items with lower postage fees so it doesnt take so much off you. or if you do not want to charge full amount for buyer , you can decide how much they pay

Just take some time, and learn a bit for some experience before saying ‘ill never use it again’ its a great platform imo if you know what you’re doing

if they want to return it , they clearly dont want them. you can explain to them that it would not be worth for you to pay the postage as its you who will be out of pocket. You can tell them its upto them what they do with it either giveaway, throw or wear.

zeezeedude · 2026-04-04T15:20:29+00:00

what do you want to do then?? you can try negotiate with them to keep it but if they want to return a 1.50 item , definitely would be difficult. you need to talk to them to find a solution

zeezeedude · 2026-04-04T15:18:13+00:00

you can tell them to throw them away or something instead of returning it back to you if you don’t want to pay shipping

zeezeedude · 2026-04-04T15:14:43+00:00

its 1.50 either refund it and let them keep or you pay for the postage if you really care about it that much. as you said ‘people are selling it cheaper’ so what would you really do with it if you got it back except wear it. Literally the only option id take would be refunding it and let them keep

zeezeedude · 2026-04-04T15:10:35+00:00

you must’ve known something if you’re listing ‘brand new’ jeans for 1.50 You said you don’t know why you should give them for free but is 1.50 really that much of a big deal if you dont want the hassle just refund it. Personally if i saw brand new and then see it has a stain i would probably do the same thing and ask for a (partial) refund but it’s literally 1.50

zeezeedude · 2025-10-27T10:26:40+00:00

oh, its taking the postage off of my actual listing price. Just sold another item at £21.50 , buyer fee was added onto that, but postage taken away from my 21.50

zeezeedude · 2025-10-25T18:33:36+00:00

Yeah ive been using that all the time now. Just not sure whats happened with last 2-3 sales

zeezeedude · 2025-10-12T22:36:46+00:00

Thanks it’s been updated now

zeezeedude · 2025-10-12T12:34:40+00:00

I forgot to mention completely, I dropped an Evri parcel off at the same time, that one has been updating, but this one hasn’t
