Bought a book for $3.90 with free shipping. Received the wrong book (completely different title and softcover instead of hardcover.) Opened a return request and was refunded within minutes.
Message with the refund says, "Good News! For being a regular buyer on eBay and a valued customer, we've issued a refund and you get to keep the item too."
So, was the refund auto-approved by eBay or the seller? I'm curious because the seller's feedback has comments from other buyers complaining that they had to actually return the book before getting a refund -- even though it makes no sense for the seller to pay shipping both ways on a cheap book.
