Refunding faulty item

Hi,

Sold a item under a tenner , which buyer reports is faulty. What is the correct way to refund the buyer (through ebay/paypal or getting them to raise a case?). I don't want the widget sent back.

Thanks.

  • Just go to the record in you Paypal account and there is an option to refund that you can click on. You can include a message with the refund.

    Thanks, do you know if that would automatically refund the ebay fees?
  • No, not if you refund through PayPal.

    Ask buyer to,open a SNAD case and refund through that. eBay fees are returned and it is all automatic.
