Need help with a return
I received a game cube system on the 24th of this month and noticed there are dead cockroaches inside of the system. I requested a return (which is now approved), but I don't think it is safe to send an infested package over the mail. I had reached out to the seller on the 24th and received no response. I tried to get help through eBay but found nothing related to my issue.

Mentor2 weeks agoHi @jadip_7281 Roaches can kill electronics. So besides the yick factor, you're wise to return it. Good luck!

There aren't any postal regulations that prohibit mailing dead cockroaches in the mail, as long as they're dried husks, which, being dead inside a console I'd assume they are. It would be prudent to double bag the item, i.e., seal it in a zip-lock bag, then seal the first bag in another zip-lock bag. Then mail that treasure in a box.

Mentor2 weeks agoIf you want a return, you need to send the item back to the seller. Is this something that you can seal with a plastic bag before shipping?

OP2 weeks agoI don't think it is safe to ship dead roaches in the mail even if sealed, is there any way I can request a refund then dispose of the console?

Mentor2 weeks agoSorry no. Just like if you purchased from a brick and mortar store they do not have to refund you until you return the item.
