Paypal claim - but returned item being sent back to me?

Beckyy

Hello! Just an update again:

I have messaged the seller asking them to send me the cost of the postage to return the phone to them again, as I would not pay for it a second time and they have not replied, and I sent the message some time ago.

What should I do now? I'm due to be moving in the very near future. I can't use the phone, nor do I want it. Should I just put it in the post box without paying for postage or putting a return address, and allow them to incur the costs (& handling fee) the other end?

Bump.

Still not sure on this one, could anyone advise please?

I still have the phone. Seller has not responded to my request for the money to return it to them again. Last response from them was almost 3 months again. I was planning to post the phone without paying for postage, but no idea if I should even bother now as it's been so long. It would more than likely just annoy them they have to pay as they're obviously not bothered about it?

I can't use it and am moving soon. What would you do with it?

Take it with you and after 6 months give it to a charity shop

Send the seller one more email to say that he has 7 days to arrange collection of the phone, if it is not collected then the storage charges and costs you have incurred will be recouped by the sale of the phone.

After seven days, dispose of it how you see fit.

I did consider that soolin, but as we're moving I would rather just get it sorted now as I don't want 'stuff' floating about more than necessary.

Thank you the onlywayisup, that sounds like a great idea.

So I went to message them and eBay wouldn't let me as the item was over 90days old. I went to send them a message through their profile and found they're no longer a registered member.

Can't say I didn't try!

I'd sell it on one of the mobile recycling sites, recoup your postage costs.
