SNAD - Seller told me to resell! What is best to do now?

I posted earlier in the week that a seller was ignoring my request for a refund they have now replied with the following:

"Hello,
I am sorry but this item is non-refundable! We advise that you re-sell the item on eBay like others who are unhappy with a purchase! You mentioned that the condition was not what the description said! It said it was in good condition, which it is!
"

I guess I now have to open a dispute could someone point me in the right direction? Where do I open the dispute? Would you give the seller a second chance?

There is no way I would be prepared to re-sell the item the only place its fit for is a rubbish bin! Unfortunately I will be out of pocket for the return postage as its quite a big and heavy box of broken, filthy dirty plastic but I would rather be out of pocket for that than the actual cost of the item as it was over £50.

    If it's not as described then you are entitled to a full refund.

    To get it, it seems you'll have to do it the hard way and raise a dispute, as you suggest.

    Do ensure you send the item back via a trackable form of shipping and don't expect the return postage to be refunded. ;)

    PS Just noticed it is over £50 and standard Royal Mail compensation is (I believe) £46, so you'll have to pay a small premium for the full insurance.

  • I'm thinking of sending it back via MyHermes is this a 'safe' way to return it providing I pay the extra to insure it and get a signature?

    Yes i use my hermes for my business, always tracks even without paying for a signature.
    Although in your case i would pay the extra for the sig and insurance.
