Buyer wants a return. Claims my photos and description are not accurate but they are

What do you do if you do not accept returns and a buyer wants a return because they say photos and description are not accurate, which is definitely not the case?

@kirshman   If the buyer files a refund request saying that the item is not as described then you need to accept the return and issue the return shipping label.   Even if you do not agree with the buyer's opinion or reason for the return.

The eBay Money Back Guarantee overrules your returns policy.   Your return policy only applies if the buyer files a buyer's remorse return:  Doesn't fit, changed mind, etc.  

If you do not accept the return willingly then the buyer can ask eBay to step in and forces a refund. You do not get your seller's fees back, you get a defect and the buyer may be allowed to keep the item.

If the buyer abuses the eBay MBG in some way then you can report them but it doesn't get your money back:

Sellers have protection for return abuse if they offer FREE RETURN shipping on their listings OR if they are a Top Rated seller and offer 30 days or greater returns.  The seller can then reduce the refund amount by up to 50% if the buyer sends a different item or somehow reduces the value of the item.
