Returning item to seller without original box

I bought a set of new wireless headphones a few weeks back from a ebay shop
and power seller.

When they were delivered I took a quick look at them and binned the box.

I have now tried them and found they do not work.

How do I stand with returning them without the original box ?

    How long ago is "a few weeks"? You only get 45 days from the date of payment to dispute the transaction through Paypal.

    If I were the seller though, I'd want it back in the same state I sent it out, ie boxed, so binning the box before testing the product probably wasn't the brightest idea ;)

    It was a ebay daily deal 12 days ago they sold nearly a thousand of them.

    I do not mind if they send me a replacement without a box.

    If he is a power seller and sold nearly a 1000 of them he probably won't care that much, so long as you return it and it is genuinely faulty. I know I wouldn't be bothered if they were genuinely faulty.
