Received debt collection letter

Do you mean ebay fees or debt collection Fees? , it's up to seller to claim back fees from ebay. Have you tried phoning ebay/ paypal perhaps they could act as a mediator - How much would it cost you to send back the item by a Recorded / Trackable method?

Debt collection fees and interest on the amount due. Not tried phoning eBay or PayPal regarding the return after the eBay / PayPal dispute was closed over 4 months ago.

Return costs would be around £40-£50 with full tracking and insurance.

Ok I see your dilemma ...Business or individual? Try Ebay/Paypal by phone and see what they say. It would hinge on the buyer (you) not being bound to return faulty goods so ask them that, Let us know how you get on.


Looked at Website just DCA - don't lose any sleep.

The seller is a business. I'll call eBay soon.

Honestly I'd just forget about it.

eBay/PayPal debts don't even get enforced from the uk, so some chancer in Islamabad or wherever dosent stand a chance.

I doubt you'll hear from them again, they never get chased for long.

Look at the facts, you won a valid PayPal dispute, you have nothing to fear, if a claim were forwarded (unlikely) you have a full defence to that claim.
I'm guessing you don't receive many DCA letters, am I right ?

Bin it, move on.

You are in the UK and the seller is foreign, as the so-called debt collectors letter is in a foreign tongue.

Every deal that's done within England by you is covered by English Law, despite what other country's laws may say.

You have nothing to fear from all this. Let Ebay and Paypal sort it out. Send them copies of the correspondence you have received.

You have the option of writing to them and advising them that until they make payment for the return fees as agreed by the dispute team at Paypal, you consider all delays to be entirely of their own making and that any debt collection fees they may have incurred/claimed are spurious and non-payable by you as they have falsely claimed against you.


Tell them to send the money by Western Union if they can't use paypal, and you will return the goods as previously agreed but only upon receipt of the funds.


Until they make payment and remind them that they do not require your date of birth to do so in any form of financial transaction, they have no further claim upon you and all future attempts to force you to pay for a dispute that has already been settled will be treated as harassment.


Or just tell them to do one and bin it.
