    how to get a buyer to return my item when he has already been refunded.
                     

    I sold a pair of boots in December and they did not fit the buyer. I usually do not accept returns but I noticed some confusing wording about the size in my post so I accepted the return. The money was made available to the customer, but I have never received the boots back. We have had cordial messages back and forth, but he says he doesn't know how to return them.  How do i contact Ebay to have them sort this out? All I can find are articles that don't address my question, or a robot that says the transaction is closed.  Can I contact a human that will solve this?  I don't know if this guy just doesn't know how to use ebay or  what, but I should either get my money back or my boots. I have never had this problem in the years of using Ebay, and I don't think I will ever accept another return again if this is what I can expect.

    I am frazzled, is there anyone out there who can advise me?

    @asherleviarnold  

    Always get the item back and then refund the buyer.  Once a refund is issued there is no motivation for the buyer to return the item and you can no longer provide an eBay label.  

     

    Hope you have an honest buyer. 

     

    You can send the buyer a return shipping label in eBay messages as a JPEG.   Buy the label on Pirateship.com.  They refund you for the label if it's not used within 30 days.    They charge the same commercial base rates as eBay.
