Hello everyone, I’ve been on eBay for a long time, but I rarely buy here because I generally don’t feel like dealing with this kind of drama. I bought an item worth under 200 EUR and then returned it within the deadline.After that, I got my money back. Now the seller is writing me a letter by registered mail directly, without calling me first or sending me an email, and claims that I supposedly returned the wrong item, and is directly threatening me with the public prosecutor’s office if I don’t reply within 4 days. At the same time, he also offered me strange services, like, yes, he could repair the item and send it back to me, for extra money of course. How do you handle a case like this? Can you report a seller like this to eBay? Is it normal that sellers here want to report you directly to the public prosecutor’s office? Can’t sellers just open a case on eBay and sort it out that way? What’s with this intimidation tactic? eBay is no fun like this!
