Ordered 12-26, arrived 1-3, garage appt 1-15,

 

I messaged the seller on 1-15

Hello. We took these parts to have them installed on our vehicle today. Even though ebay as well as the listing said they would both fit our vehicle, the front one was not the correct one for the vehicle. It is too small and the bolt holes did not line up. Please advise us how to handle the return. Amanda

Hi anasazirose,
Thanks for your message.
Sorry to hear that. May I know the specific model and year of your car? or Vin number?
It would be helpful if you could send us some pictures to show this issue.
And then we will check it for you.
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Lauren

What would you like a photo of? The mechanic shop left the old part on, there is no way to crawl under the car for a photo of the old part. Do you want a picture of the car? Do you want a picture of the part that doesn t fit?

Hi anasazirose,
Thanks for your message.
We would like to confirm with our supplier whether they made the wrong product regarding the pictures of the bolt holes did not line up or pictures that reflects this issue. Please rest assured that if the issue cannot be resolved in the end, we will provide you with a return label.
Looking forward to your reply soon.
Regards,
Lauren

Hi anasazirose,
Thanks for your message.
We need the pictures of the bolt holes did not line up.
Could you send us?
Looking forward to your reply soon.

So, that's where I'm at.  I will send pictures tonight when I can take pictures of the part.  The seller is very responsive.  I don't usually return anything and have only handled a few returns as a seller.  So I'm not sure I'm progressing correctly.  Should I start a return now or should I continue responding with the seller?  Even if I send photos, I'll still have to start a return unless they choose to send a correct part. If they do that, and the new part doesn't fit,  the time limit (is it 30 days?) will expire by the time we get a new appointment and I'll be not able to fall back on ebay's guarantee. 

 

I would also appreciate any other input from those experienced in how returns are supposed to work and how they've worked for you.  Thanks so much. Amanda

So you got a FedEx return label from eBay, instead of the usual USPS Return Service label? The only trouble is there are more post offices than scanner-on-site FedEx locations.

There are a hell of a lot more problems than that with FedEx return labels. If you're interested in doing a deep dive:

GLORIOUS!

Check out the new inefficient Seller Hub 'All Filters' panel to see how much eBay disrespects sellers' time (click).
