Return defective item.
I purchased a pair of sandals with zippers that don't work. The buyer does not accept returns. After communicating with her and stating I want my money back, she told me to open a claim with eBay. The problem is I would have to make a video to demonstrate how the zippers are defective. I simply don't know how to do that. I need help revolving this issue and am getting nowhere with any assist from eBay. Can someone please guide me.
Thank you,
Michele

I am sorry that happened! You don't need to make a video. They do ask for a photo.
You should open a Return Request. The reason could be "Damaged or Defective Item", "Missing Parts & Pieces" OR "Different from what I ordered > Didn't Match Description" if the item you got was not what was shown and described.
You can open your return request here. Just click the photo and follow the instructions.

Do not close your return request until you either have your refund in hand or you have the replacement item. Do not close it because the seller promises you something.

OP4 months agoHi eastlaneave.
The reason I feel I needed to send a video is because a picture won't show that the zippers don't work. I do have a message from the seller that states she couldn't get them to work and suggested I put oil on them. But, I will have my sister help me upload a picture and see what happens.
Thank you so much for helping. This has been a very frustrating process.

If you say the zippers don't work, eBay will take your word for it.
Add a photo of the sandals, that's enough.

Thank you again for your response. I'll have my sister take and post a picture of the sandals.
