Should I use seller's freepost return label?

Hey :)

I bought a referbed kindle from a company on Ebay it stopped working within a day. Should I open a case or should I use the freepost label included with the invoice? My worry is that if I send it back freepost they could simply claim it didn't arrive.

    If the label does not look like it is tracked then I would open a case. As you said, there is nothing to stop them saying it never arrived. They are most likely honest but you never know.
  • I had a very similar issue recently.

    Ask them for a pre-paid label to send it back tracked. Message them first about it and open a case if they won't do anything.
  • Thanks for all the replies :)

    Might be worth paying the extra £1.10 to send it 'Signed for' or one of the other Royal Mail tracking services.
