    They're trying to take you for a mug! Just politely keep replying saying you'll refund when you get the item back, or suggest that they ask their sister for £3.99 more.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Why are you doing that you're being conned. Why are you even considering refunding without getting the item back. Please can you explain this:confused:
  • I'm not refunding without getting it back,.

    ebay said to request payment again and then refund the 2nd payment, that way i have done my side of the bargain by refunding.

    why would you ask for them to pay a second time?
    in this situation, id ignore the silly advise that seems to be coming from ebay and take note of the replies to this thread.
    refuse to refund unless the buyer returns the item using a trackable postage method.

    I don't understand that? Surely no buyer is going to be that stupid? :confused:

  • Well she's stupid enough to try it on with me...
  • Just spoke to someone from Live Chat and they said to get the buyer to pay for the item again, then I refund them. That way, they get a full refund.
    ............................. :confused:

    Ebay Logic strikes again. :rotfl:

    Good luck trying to explain to your buyer why you should randomly swap money. ;)
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
    :kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:
    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p
