Bought a counterfeit

[sole_avenue]

I bought a hoodie off ebay about 4 months ago thinking it was the real thing. Recently i decided to sell it on GOAT because i did not want it but they said it was a replica. Is it still possible to get a refund on this fake hoodie from the original ebay seller even if it was about 4 months ago?

The only path of recourse at this late date would be a voluntary agreement from the seller to accept a return or perhaps a credit card dispute.

Ebay does not act after its MBG has expired.

Your coverage through eBay's Money Back Guarantee ended 30 days after the item arrived. So no, you have no recourse here. All you can do is see if your credit card will still accept a dispute.

'about 4 months ago'...kinda too late to do anything...even a credit card dispute...usually it's a 60 day window...although some banks might do the 120 days...but not knowing how smart the seller was the seller can win such a dispute. I won my last dispute with a buyer.

And I don't remember but I think some charge $20. if you do a dispute and lose...can't remember that.

And having something for 4 months...anyone can say you wore it for awhile so it's not new anymore.

Seems like you are already out a lot of money trying to re-sell it already.

Any re-sell clothing stores near you might help.

Credit card disputes can be opened for longer than 60 days depending on the policies of the bank that issued the credit card.

As a merchant I had disputes opened up to a year after the purchase.

I have encountered fees for sellers who lose a dispute but have never seen a fee for a buyer. I suspect that consumer protection laws prohibit these fees as well as Mastercard and Visa rules.

By law card issuers must allow disputes for 60 days past the date you receive the first statement on which the charge appears. Since the law was passed in 1974, that originally meant 60 days beyond the date the statement was mailed. Now it's usually taken to be the billing date. So it's always more than a 60-day window; normally it's closer to 90 days. Most card issuers allow disputes beyond that on a case-by-case basis.

Just because another resale site did not approve of the authenticity does not mean ebay agrees.
