One was a soldering iron tip that I bought, hoping it would fit my soldering station, but unfortunately, it was too small. I have a military surplus soldering station made by a company called A.P.E., and the only tips I have seen for it have been ridiculously expensive, if the pricing in the manufacturer's website is correct. This tip I bought LOOKS just like mine, and it even has the same part number which made me think maybe it would fit, but nope. So, I returned it unopened to the seller who was nice and understood. And, unfortunately, he didn't have any advice for a replacement tip for me... this company sells a LOT of soldering equipment and I was hoping I might be in luck.
The other refund was for the shipping tape I bought that the guy selling it was NARU'd. I put in for a refund just to see if they would really make me wait for it or not, since the guy did post a tracking number, but that was on 5/23, and the package has never been scanned in anywhere, and if I put the number in the actual EMS/China Post website, it says it is not a valid number. I was surprised, but eBay refunded me. I figured they would make me wait since the guy posted a tracking number, but I guess since the guy got the boot, and since it hasn't been scanned in anywhere, they figured he made the number up and never shipped it.
