Buyer requested a return but I haven't recieved the item back

I sold an item of used clothing on Ebay and a few days after posting it the buyer contacted me to say that it smelt musty and was unwearable. It was freshly laundered and I didn't notice any smell when I packaged it up but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and offered a full refund including return postage. I sent them a prepaid return postage label (not recorded because the value of the item was pretty low) on the same day as they contacted me but now 3 weeks later I haven't received the item back and I haven't heard anything else from the buyer. I contacted them about a week after sending the postage label to check when they sent it but didn't receive a response. What should I do now? The buyer didn't open a SNAD case but all messages about the item have been sent through Ebay.

    Don't do anything until you get it back or a message from them asking where their refund is.

    As above, do nothing. Do not contact them further. My business gets few return requests and of those even fewer people can be bothered to return the item. People are lazy. If they did open a case on Ebay, they'd have to prove they returned the item to get a refund.
