What to do with a package return to sender package?

[steptho_8337]

Hi,

I am new to ebay and today I received a return to sender package. The package could not be derived due to no mail receptacle.  The buyer has not contacted me or started a item not received claim.  I know I should contact the buyer, but do I send it again or just give a refund? If they still want it, do I just buy another label?

Please advise. 

Thanks

There are two options for handling a package that was returned to you as not deliverable.

1.  Contact the buyer and see if they have another address to ship the item to.   If they do then you can share your email address since you have a recent sale together and have them send the funds to you electronically use Venmo or other payment transfer method to pay to ship the item again.

This is not considered an offsite sale since the sale already took place.

You should buy the shipping label on Pirateship.com or other source.  Do NOT print another label from the eBay sale or you'll end up with two tracking numbers on the sold listing which will confuse the system.

2. If they don't want the item or don't respond. Go to the sold item and select send refund from the drop down menu next to the item.   Then on the next page select OTHER for the reason.   Next refund the ITEM PRICE ONLY.  Do not give a full refund with the shipping costs.      If you have to do this option I'd add the buyer to my blocked buyer list>
