To initiate the return the buyer should ask to return it through ebay- it's one of the choices on the buyer's dropdown menu. You should be able to refund through ebay as well.

If you have a problem with the returned item you should go through ebay to resolve it. Take photos of the box and of the cymbal when it arrives.

Good luck.

I had a guy that bought a drum from me he said it was great. He even left me positive feedback as goods were as described. About a week later he said he would like to return as he has got another drum. I refused and told him unless it was not to description or was faulty then no return. I also consulted ebay they said i dont have to accept the return for the reason he was giving. Basically he just wanted to return it.....Consult ebay first and open a case and go from there. ...sean

Thank you guys!

I told him to go through ebay procedure

BTW he asked me to send him another one instead, but I am refusing that, since I sent him correct one, as described

Thanks again

Tell the cheeky @@@@ to send you cymbal back at his expense check goods and pay him off or just tell him goods are fine get lost. Ive been on ebay 13yrs and met these people dont let him try that trick. Just report him as an @@@ to ebay.........All the best.....sean

I don't do eBay anymore too many idiots in old days as is worked now it dont

He now wants me to pay shipping from him to me, after playing brand new cymbal for 11 days and found it defective

How should I react now?

If the item is defective the seller pays return shipping. If the buyer simply changes their mind the buyer typically pays for return shipping, but that also depends on how your return policy is set up on ebay.

Ebay favors buyers in most cases, but you might try making a case with ebay customer service that the buyer has simply changed their mind on the purchase (since you had a video recording of the cymbal).

Either way, the odds are against you if the buyer claims it's defective.

Go through ebay on everything, especially if the returned cymbal is not in the same condition as it was sent.

Thanks Mo

Never mind, If I can't make it with ebay, I will pay all
