eBay ruled in their favour and demanded that I arrange a return for the dress within 5 days otherwise they keep the item and they will refund the full amount on my behalf.[...]3 months on and eBay are about to suspend my account because I’m refusing to pay them.

"Defrauded"? That's way OTT. Withholding payment until a court has decided the debt is valid is not fraud. That statement is libellous, and a mod should take it down.

The OP entered freely into a contract with eBay. They went through eBay's dispute processes and are now refusing to pay eBay £365 which they legally owe them. If they dispute that debt, then the onus is on the OP to take eBay to court (which of course they won't do, as they would certainly fail).

I'm afraid that for my comments to be libellous, they would need to be untrue, so there's no need for the moderators to do anything.

But they are. eBay have refunded the buyer the £365 out of eBay's own funds - and they are (quite correctly) chasing the seller to repay this debt.

So currently:

Buyer - has their money back, and an altered wedding dress (which they should probably send back to the seller, as long as the seller pays the postage).

Seller - has £365 (of money which doesn't belong to them), and no longer has their altered dress.

eBay - has refunded £365 to the buyer, and has no money or dress.

Other honest eBay users - had nothing to do with all this, but will probably end up paying the £365 which the Seller has defrauded from eBay.

No, the OP still has the dosh..............the buyer has a dress that don't fit and her money back and Ebay are £365 worse off.


The OP has left the building because she don't care and is down the pub having a glass of Asti Spumante and some scampi and chips. Ebay can take the money lost from all the UK tax they don't pay.


There....................that's better!

They is no need for the OP to do anything. She has the money and has said she is going to do nothing...........now the omus is on them if they want any money back. They are going to have to put the work in, not her.
