I always make them to return the item when they are asking for a refund. And half the time they don't return it to me.

UPS should have and would have noted that the box had been damaged or opened during shipping. To file the claim with UPS DON'T CLICK THAT YOU SHIPPED THROUGH ANOTHER CHANNEL, click that you were the shipper then another option pops up that asks if you did you do it through a third party or another channel and click yes on that. Then you should be able to file your claim.

Happen to know if UPS is denying more claims than usually lately ? They broke an item - I filed a claim with pics and screen shots of comments - they asked me to send the broken item to them - etf… obviously I told the buyer they could throw it away
@kkinionАй бұрын
Even if the item is easy to fix it should have arrived in condition promised. So I agree with customer with that. However no need for them to be rude. And absolutely correct in having them return for refund.

@Crypto2814Ай бұрын
As a frequent eBay buyer, I feel you did the right thing as the seller. In a situation like this, the seller should set up a return and then deal with USPS about the issues in shipping. Sellers shouldn’t make buyers deal with insurance claims and whatnot, that’s the sellers responsibility
@socalogp7296Ай бұрын
Not always true. In example, when tracking shows that the item was delivered and the buyer indicates they did not receive the item, the buyer needs to file a claim with USPS. The seller cannot file a claim as the tracking shows it was delivered to the destination. How do I know? I lived it. 🤦♂ ✌

Dave when I have items that I have been pushing off to the side because I am not "excited" about them, I force myself to do them and use the items that I am "excited" about listing as a reward. I don't know if that would work for your brain or not but it is very rewarding to get them cleared.

In my experience when shipping heavy objects you need to use a heavy duty box, or reenforce the box somehow. Otherwise the box can bend, twist and rip. Packing objects very tightly so they don't move around also helps.

@@sandikucia1398 A month or two ago, I ordered a 2-Piece 25-Count Clear Card Storage Box two pack. They cost less than $2 and they weigh close to nothing.. They arrived cracked. I ordered replacements, and they had me send them back. I had to stand in line at the UPS store to drop them off to return them, to Amazon. The replacements arrived cracked too. I just kept them. Three years ago, they messed up my purchase of a DeWalt miter saw. It cost over $300. I was supposed to get it in two days with Prime. I didn't get it. I called support and it turned out, Amazon sent it like it wasn't prime. Plus, it was coming from the west coast. It was going to take another week. I asked the guy to just cancel the order. I could buy one at Home Depot for about the same price. He canceled the order and told me that when it does eventually come, to just keep it at no charge. Either it was compensation for the mix up or they didn't want to pay to have it sent back. Either way, I don't think that would happen today. We now have two (2) Amazon distribution centers in my town. They could just have it shipping to one of these local distribution centers.

I always explained to the customer that I know it's an inconvenience but if they want a full refund I always make them return the item. I don't feel bad about losing a little bit of extra money (which goes toward a write-off) to get my item back. Sadly there are too many scammers out there. If the customer complains I just explain it like that. I let them know that while I don't believe they are scamming me, a few bad apples out there now require me to have all refunded items returned first. You could even put that in your policy when you do your listing so there are no surprises, And maybe it wards off would be scammers.

Hopefully they take a partial refund, I still make some money or at least break even, and don’t have to deal with a return.

You did the right thing! He should have to return it before you give his money back. I learned from Kevin never to refund until I get the item back even if it does cost me shipping. Walmart or Target or Amazon don’t refund without a return and our businesses are as important as those. In the words of Rachel Strickland “treat your business like a business” and a business requires the product to be returned before a refund is given. Good job Dave!

Hello Mr. Dave. I really don't think the guy was trying to scam you. The item was for threading smaller metal piping that is very common in older homes. It's very possible that he is simply a homeowner that wanted to have the dies for personal use and has no way to modify them to make them fit. If you had dies in there that were not made specifically for that handle they would not work. Honestly, I would be very upset too if I ordered a tool and it had mismatched parts, especially after the box being ripped open in transit and some dies were missing. I have seen the way UPS and FEDEX throw their freight around so I try to avoid using them when possible. If you get it back and ship it again tie the dies to the handle with wire, tape or shrink wrap to keep them from getting lost.

I base returns on how pleasant the buyer is. If they come off nasty from the start I will definitely make them return it, even if it’s not really worth it to me. I always have them start a return through eBay no matter what. I generate my own return label rather than letting eBay do it. Sometimes eBay’s return label is ridiculously high. If the buyer is pleasant and I choose not to have the them return the item, I tell them to keep it, donate it, or trash it. From what I understand, if a return is started through eBay, negative feedback can’t be given or will be removed.

Good for you not to go with your first instinct to refund the guy who got the damaged package. I'd have handled it a little differently though. On the theory that I may one day have another damaged package shipped UPS, I'd have taken the time to figure out what their rules are and gone the claim route. Their procedures are tough to decipher, especially with ebay involved, but I don't think that means it's a good plan to let them off the hook when they mess up as it sounds like they did in this case. I know that it's hard for people with ADHD to deal with details like this, but throwing away a good amount of money is never fun.

UPS is not going to cover that because it is your fault. At least that is what they will say, and they are kind of right. Something that heavy should have been in a sturdier box and at bare minimum a lot more tape on the box. You should learn how to resize boxes for something like that. It's not that hard, I would have made a triangle box to ship it personally. I would ALWAYS tell them to open the return and see if they do. If they do decide to, they are probably not scamming and I would decide then it is worth if to have him return it and decide to either have him ship it back, or just refund him. I would probably just refund him unless it you can still make $100+ after paying shipping both ways.

As a buyer... Since the shipping company resealed the items and there are missing items... I would want a full refund as you already know it was difficult to package up that item... Buyers dont want to deal with buying shipping material and package up an item at cost to return a damaged/missing items... Since you are losing more money for the return shipping cost... It would have been best to give a full refund and move on...sounds like a mess for the buyer and for you when you as the seller can not fill claims on these type of damaged repackage items with missing parts...If you get negative it is not really the buyers issue as it sounds like a waste of time for the buyer to deal with the shipping issues. Just accept the negative and move on.
