    @dabrag-58   If the reason is buyers remorse, doesn't fit changed mind, etc.   Then you can deny the return OR chose to allow the buyer to return the item and they pay return shipping.

     

    If the buyer filed a return request SAYING that the item doesn't match pictures or description or any other not as described reason then eBay Money Back Guarantee overrules your return policy and you must accept the return.    

     

     

    How to accept a return

    To accept a return:

    1. Go to your Returns dashboard.
    2. Select View return details beside the item.
    3. Select Accept the return and then Continue.
    4. If you're responsible for return shipping, choose how you'll arrange for the item to be returned.
    5. If the buyer is responsible, choose your return address from the dropdown menu.
    6. Enter a return merchandise authorization number, if you use them.
    7. Select Confirm.

    Thank you I have been trying everything to help the seller. The item is new in a box it was working when here but the demo batteries aren't working anymore and she does not want to put new ones in. Unfortunately since my account is set to no return accepted the buyer said she cannot open a request and I am trying to help her my best to get the item back to me. She's saying it won't allow her to return so I told her to ask ebay to step in?

    I am sorry I am trying everything to help the buyer* I can't change my return preferences and hope this does not leave me with a negative review. I am willing to help but just don't know what else to do

    @dabrag-58.  You don't want eBay to step in or you get a defect, do not get your seller's fees back,  and the buyer may be allowed to keep the item.  

     

    If the buyer chooses doesn't match pictures or description that over rides your no return policy.

    Thank you I just let the woman know all she needs to do is change the batteries and it may work and I do not want her keeping the item. It is exactly as described the demo batteries just stopped working. What is the best resolution for me to do?
