Return has not been confirmed
Summary: acousrai73 reports an issue with the refund of an item they sent back to a seller. They used their own return label, which was cheaper than the one offered by the platform, and it is now with the seller with no response. perfect-sally replies that the return may not be trackable since custom labels were used, and suggests that proof of delivery is needed. They ask how acousrai73 found out that it was delivered to the seller.
Hello. I ordered and paid for the DVD article ,,Whenever He Took Pills'', but it didn’t go over well as a gift, so I requested a return. It was approved. However, I bought my own label for 5.19, which is cheaper than eBay’s, and yesterday the return arrived at the seller, but he isn’t responding. Because I get the full refund from eBay. What is the problem here? I sent the seller Fernsehjuwelen the postal receipt with the tracking number. Why isn’t the seller responding, he had approved the request after all.

Mentor3 weeks agoHi @acousrai73 if the item arrived yesterday, the seller still has time for the refund, because:

This is how you receive your refund
When the item is delivered to the seller, your refund should be processed within 3 business days. Your refund will be sent to your original payment method and the money is normally available within 3-5 business days.

Mentor3 weeks agoBased on how you describe it, you sent it back as a parcel, and parcels don't have a trackable tracking number. On top of that, you bought the label outside of eBay, so nobody can verify that it was actually sent back and delivered. You need proof of shipment and proof of delivery.
How do you know it was delivered to the seller yesterday? Did you enter the number you think is the tracking number in the return?
