Item arrived after refund request processed
I purchased an item on 1/1/26. A couple of days later, it was marked as shipped and arriving 1/7-1/13, but no tracking information was provided. When it hadn’t arrived by 1/21, I messaged the seller asking for tracking. I didn’t receive a response, so I opened a refund request with eBay on 1/25.
The seller replied later that day, saying they would send the tracking number, but no tracking was ever sent to me or entered on eBay. eBay requested that the seller provide the information within three days by entering it online. The item was eventually delivered late on 1/29, and the eBay system issued the refund early in the morning on 1/30.
I do want to make sure the seller is paid since the item did arrive. However, the seller has asked me to return the item, and I don’t want to pay $20 in return shipping when the issue was due to missing tracking and a lack of communication by the seller.
What’s the best way to move forward?
