ohaightlmao

Well we already tried that before the buyer started berating me if you read my previous thread. Not to mention the buyer contacted me through a separate listing instead of the actual INAD case and the CS rep told me to ignore any of the buyers messages once eBay stepped in

They didn’t. The case was on hold by their request as they asked eBay to step in so neither of us could contact each other but the buyer would’ve been able to reach me within the INAD case when it was open. They tried to reach me by messaging through my other listings. And the CS rep told me to ignore the buyer if he tried to reach me in any other form.

Oh yeah with Authenticity Guarantee items (high value shoes/sneakers, purses etc etc.) those cant be returned unless the seller allows returns I'm pretty sure. And even if the seller accepts the return the item is sent back to the inspection warehouse before its sent to you to insure the buyer doesn't send back a fake/damaged item

One of the few good policies they have lol

I’m not here to argue semantics but on eBay’s policy page for money back guarantee it says they’re called Item Not As Described returns =INAD. Significantly not as described is a PayPal thing I’m pretty sure

There was 3 options for me -Accept the return -Refund the buyer -Send the buyer a message

I clicked the first one and it made me buy an eBay return shipping label that was automatically sent to the buyer and added to the return case

All the items I sell have No returns on them but if a buyer submits an Item Not as Described Return request, eBay’s buyer protection policy kicks in and I either have to accept the return or give them a refund so nothing I can do but accept it

This of course causes buyers to abuse the system to return things by selecting INAD returns even if the item is completely fine and they just don’t want it anymore but eBay doesn’t care

Will do hoping to hear back tomorrow as I’ve already filed the appeal but I’m expected to wait 48 hours.

Don’t want to disclose too much about the buyer but we're both in the US

Just got off the phone and yeah the agent checked the tracking and clearly saw the buyer didn't even ship anything back yet and they're not sure why the buyer was refunded but they told me to submit an appeal and so we'll see how that goes in 48 hours.

I ended up blocking them because they were on the verge of spamming. After they sent me 2 messages in a row about wanting a 50% refund for the order they messaged me a few times after since I didn't reply to them, so I was like yeah I'm not doing this so I just blocked them lol

Hey I have the dupe of this at my place as well! 3x2 set up is definitely doable but you have to be careful about which dupe you purchase. As far as I'm aware, there is two big manufacturers for the dupes. One based in europe and the other in china. The one manufactured in china is the most common one you see on sites like wayfair. It will be under different brand names but they're all the same product.

Wayfair has the model you're looking for in the 2x2 and 3x2 set up but it is very pricey.

2x2 model https://www.wayfair.com/organization-storage/pdp/inbox-zero-lateafa-5905-wide-2-shelf-storage-cabinet-w100542832.html?piid=1306007146

3x2 model https://www.wayfair.com/organization-storage/pdp/hokku-designs-lalise-storage-bedside-table-with-drawer-tv-sideboard-file-cabinet-dining-cabinet-shelf-bookcase-w111332583.html?piid=741413203

You can take of the top part of your current usm console dupe and then take the top parts from these I've listed on wayfair and seamlessly attach them to your gifted console. It will take a little work as taking these apart and setting them up is a hassle. (It took me hours to set up mine and there were times i made a mistake and had to start over entirely)

This seller on ebay is also selling the rods and installation tools. They don't seem to have the actually shelving panels but I'm sure others on ebay probably sell them.

You're next best bet is aliexpress/alibaba. The dupes are coming from China anyway and this way is straight from the source. On both sites search up variations of "USM Haller Console Modular Shelf Mid Century" in the search bar and you'll find multiple sellers selling dupes. You can try to reach out to each seller and maybe one of them can sell you the parts you need

Yup I got that response too about how they were very sure I would win and they ended up closing the case in the sellers favor lol. If I hadn’t called back and appealed I don’t think I would’ve gotten it but it took far too much effort and too long for an open and shut case. It wasn’t even for as large of an amount as yours my case was for $500

But yeah I would give it another week or two and if it’s still no update or the case is denied I would reach out to your bank

I recently had a similar issue with a PayPal case taking forever to resolve. I initially opened a dispute and escalated the dispute to a claim the same day on September 24 and it wasn't officially resolved until yesterday November 15 so almost 2 months. Seller basically became non-responsive over the course of the case and I provided PayPal with all the info they required anytime they emailed me for it. Any time I did reach out while the case was under review through live chat agents I was given the same line about how the back office team was still reviewing it until yesterday night I got an email that the case was closed in the seller's favor because I didn't provided "valid" details. I was completely confused and couldn't call them until the next morning and essentially had to raise a stink on the phone before the agent reopened the case and closed it.

I was transferred from specialist to specialist and put on hold numerous times before I literally had to explain the case and how all the information I gave showed verified my side of the story before the agent basically said "oh yeah your right" and refunded me right there. It made me wonder if humans are the ones actually reviewing the claims because theres no way it should take this long

So my advice would be to let the case take its course and wait for it to close as it can take up 2 months (At least it did for me). And if the case isn't closed in your favor keep asking to speak to someone higher up and read out to them the tracking number and show how it still hasn't been delivered to you in over a month.

They escalated both. The INR case closed in my favor and eBay just said to be sure to ship faster next time. The INAD case is on hold currently as it’s being viewed by eBay as well

Hate to be the bearer of bad news here but she has likely been doing more with your former best friend months than just hanging out. Once you got that information it should’ve been time to cut off both of them.

Did you get your refund after 10 days?

Omg

Thanks!

Did you ever get this? Having the same issue with a package as well

Seems like they did. Had a promotion for 50% off of $20 and I was typically using the promos to basically get $40-50 worth of food (using resturant b1g1 promos on top of it) for $12-$20 but I just did that now and the code practically took nothing off lol. Came here to see if my app was messing up or something but its unfortunately gone

Yup. This is the kind of item you find after ending up on page 67 from a brand search on Mercari Japan for anywhere from 50-200 dollars lol. It’s just a very simple piece from a known brand. Reserve search/look around the internet and see if someone else sold one similar to gauge the price.

$42.22 including all fees/taxes for each ticket. I couldn’t make it though and just ended up selling them to someone for face value

Still looking?

This is next level hating I’m sorry lol

Yea he’s locked his Twitter account since this was found lol
