I had an item on there that wasn’t selling so I just let it auto-relist every month. Then it sold when I wasn’t checking. Noticed it about ten days late. I PMed the buyer and apologized and he was very forgiving so I shipped that same day. And of course the jackass opens an investigation immediately after I ship, so the fucker got a full refund right before the item arrived. Now i can’t dispute because the case is closed.
As I said it’s technically my fault but that jerk ass totally ripped me off. He knew what he was doing. This is gonna piss me off all day.

Well, as a seller you had an obligation to check status every day. If I were the buyer, I'd launch an investigation myself. Have you been selling on eBay long, or are you a newbie?

It’s my fault. It just feels wrong that he opened the investigation after a friendly dialogue where I agreed to ship immediately and he said that was “completely fine”. He almost certainly knew the investigation could resolve in the days before the item arrived.

As an ebay seller myself, let me assure you of this...buyers have all the power on ebay. You can't slip up even a little bit as a seller or you can end up paying dearly for it. It's not fair but that's just how the site has gone and it gets worse each year.

No it was the next day. I suppose it is possible that he requested it before I messaged him. But I don’t think so. He could’ve retracted it at any time though. I have done that before myself after the seller reached out.

I only get one new “star” for every fifty or so items sold.

It's not so much that they erred, but what they did to rectify it.

This wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t get lazy. So in the end it is my mistake and I guess I should just take the lesson. It just annoys me that he got the item and the refund. But it’s only ten dollars so it’s probably not worth the stress to think about it any longer.

On a semi related note you now can no longer use PayPal to get paid on eBay. That’s really bizarre. I think I should just leave that awful site. Not sure where I’d sell my old stuff though.

Is the traffic there better? My eBay listings used to get hundreds of views. For the last few years they barely get any.
