@onewhite Some advice on exactly how returns to other countries work, no matter what CS says. I know this rule VERY VERY well, and sometimes they get it wrong. eBay does NOT refund for return shipping that you pay out of pocket and the seller can not refund you more than the sale price and shipping, some agents might say differently.
If the item is not as described then the seller pays return shipping even if they are in another country. HOWEVER they can not send a return shipping label since eBay labels are all for US shipping services.
The seller has to send the money to pay return shipping to your PayPal account BEFORE you return the item, The item MUST be returned to China using PRIORITY mail or you will not have any tracking proof of delivery. You are allowed to share contact information after a recent sale. Be sure to add the tracking number to the return request if you do end up actually returning the item.
The customer service agent should put the case on HOLD for 5 days while the China seller sends you the money. After 5 days if they have not sent the money then you let eBay know and they will force a refund from the seller without requiring you to return the item.
It is best to use the ASK eBay to step in option that appears in the case on the 4th business day after opening the case for help with this vs calling so that the right department helps you. Things work out better that way.
