Return rejected by the seller
I filed a return to the seller. I was instructed to return the item to the seller, but the shipping costs will be provided by the buyer. Once the item is received by the seller, the refund would be issued. I paid the shipping cost. The item needed to be returned by August 15, 2023. The item was refused on August 11th in time before the deadline by the seller. I've contacted the seller, but the seller was not helpful. What is the next step to have this resolved? The seller doesn't want the item and I don't want it. The item is in a UPS warehouse, and I received a phone call that storage charges will incur per day unless I decide to "abandon" the item. How am I to receive a refund from the seller if the item is being rejected? This item has cost me a significant amount of money plus I had to pay shipping, duties, and fees because the seller is international.
