Why is the eBay Corporate policy money back guarantee only applies to the buyer
Summary: manila68 shared their experience with a transaction where they shipped an order to a military address, and the buyer filed an Item Not Received (INR) case. Although the package was in transit, eBay partially refunded the buyer, and the case was closed. After the package was eventually refused by the buyer, manila68 sought a reversal of the decision, citing that eBay's policy should void the buyer's protection. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, they have not received the payment or removal of negative metrics on their account.
