Ebay not helping after many attempts by me to get my refund

Here is a history of me trying to my FULL refund.  Ebay will not help and is telling me it's past 30 days.

 

We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive the item you purchased. Your request is open, and we've asked the seller to respond and resolve your issue by Mar 16, 2021.

I CONTACTED SELLER ON MARCH 11,2021

The seller has responded to you and offered another solution to solve this issue.

Seller's message:
"ok sir.. sorry for the delay.. i will refund your money soon.. thank you.. stay safe.."

If you're satisfied with this solution, you can let the seller know by sending a message in the Resolution Center. If you don't want to accept this offer, we encourage you to send the seller a message with solution that you'd be happy with.

I ORDERED 2 SETS; GOT REFUNDED FOR 1. NEVER RECEIVED THE ITEM

March10:

We'll respond to your appeal within 48 hours

Hi Tina,

This case was closed previously, but we understand you have concerns. We'll review this inquiry and get back to you within 48 hours.

I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE

April 3rd:

My name is ____ your eBay customer support for today. Rest assured we are going to resolve your issue as fast and simple as possible.

I was able to find a way to grant your appeal. I am sorry to hear about the initial decision being made about the item 20Pcs Set Mini Ducks Rubber Random Baby Bath Toys Floating Kids Christmas Gift. Nothing to worry, I already processed your full refund for this transaction and notify the seller about this issue. Please confirm with us after the timeframe if you received the refund or not so we can follow through with your concern. Your refund will be reflecting in your original payment method within the next 24 to 48-hour timeframe. Thank you for your great consideration.

 

We appreciate your time and effort in patronizing eBay. I trust that this information is helpful and I also hope you and your family to be safe during this pandemic Coronavirus. Please take care.

I CALLED 2 DAYS LATER AND GOT NO WHERE; ONLY AN EMAIL ASKING TO EVALUATE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE

 

May 15:

Hello Tina,

 

I'm contacting you about the Mini Ducks Rubber Rando Baby () that you recently purchased from "". I’m very sorry to learn that this transaction hasn’t gone as smoothly as we would have hoped.

 

I can see that the item was purchased on . It’s important to note that eBay Money Back Guarantee cases must be filed within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. As this item was purchased more than 30 days after that date, it is now out of coverage under the terms of the eBay Money Back Guarantee.

 

Going forward, if there is an issue with a future transaction, I would encourage you to ensure a case is filed within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. You can find more information on these timelines on the following page:

 

I know that this wasn’t the response you were hoping for, but I hope I've provided information that may help should a similar issue arise. We wish you all the very best with your future purchases.

OBVIOUSLY HISTORY THAT I CONTACTED IN A TIMELY MANNER WAS NOT SEEN

 

May 16

Good day!

 

Thank you for your efforts in contacting eBay regarding the CREE LED Headlight you purchased from the seller ""20Pcs Set Mini Ducks Rubber Random Baby Bath Toys Floating Kids Christmas Gift"". I am sorry to know that you did not received the item you purchased.

 

I appreciate your effort in reaching out to the seller to have this sorted out. I commend your patience towards this case which shows that you are a responsible buyer. We’re glad you have raised your concern to us. Rest assured resolving your concern is our top priority.

  

 My name is and it is my pleasure to assists you today.  Based on my research, this is your first Item not as Described claim on eBay.

 

 I took time to review the details of the case and here’s what I found out:

 

•Item was purchased last January 05, 2019.​

 

For your future guidance, you must open a request within 30 days of the item's delivery date or latest estimated delivery date. If you'd like to learn more about our eBay Money Back Guarantee policy, please visit this page:

 

Now, you might wonder why we ask to you file dispute on PayPal though you made the transaction on eBay, a claim is just needed to be opened in order for us to force the seller to respond on your request.

 

 

To make it easier for you once you will be able to talk to a representative from PayPal for them to help you out on how to open up a claim.

 THIS GUY DOESN'T GET THE ITEM NAME OR PURCHASE DATE CORRECT

Re: Ebay not helping after many attempts by me to get my refund

The only thing that jumps out at me is... "We'll respond to your appeal within 48 hours" in the first message. If you weren't happy with the seller's solution (I wouldn't have been), that was the time to escalate the case to eBay. You'd be whole.

 

If it's any consolation, you can file a case for 180 days on PayPal or a credit card, if you used either. Good luck.

That's the point...there are several attempts after that initial message and a claim started that went no where

Even though there is no way to escalate an appeal, you should have escalated the appeal. Now @tnkf0915 just file an "Item not received" dispute at PayPalhere, then go back immediately and click "Escalate to PayPal" at the bottom of the page. Then wait (if the seller contacts you now, do not respond whatsoever) for the remainder of your refund.

@tnkf0915 

 

I suppose eBay thought that you were satisfied with the seller's solution, since you didn't appeal/escalate the case.

I only mentioned the other venues since eBay only allows a buyer one shot at it. The MBG pretty 'iron-clad'. Bummer.

They said I can't report a problem because I have received money.

Re: Ebay not helping after many attempts by me to get my refund

I did write in the original post that I did call.  All ebay did was send me an email asking about my customer service experience.

You cannot start a dispute from the Transaction Details page at PayPal. Instead @tnkf0915 file an "item not received" dispute at PayPal by clicking on the "here" link in that post.

You can try calling PayPal CS at 888-221-1161 and explain that you didn't get a full refund.

This is ebay responding? It's rather odd.

 

"Nothing to worry."

They "notify the seller"?

"Your refund will be reflecting in your original payment method."

"Thank you for your "great consideration."

Re: Ebay not helping after many attempts by me to get my refund

There is no here link.  And unfortunately the last phone CSR said I was allowed only 1 claim per item.  She also said something about it being past 30 days even though I have been in constant contact.  I reached out to the seller again.  First time I tried that they did not respond until I had Ebay step in.

That was copied directly from my Ebay email.  Minus the CSR name, the seller name, and item number of ducks

Re: Ebay not helping after many attempts by me to get my refund

I responded to you yesterday to let you know that they said I can't do that because I already received money.  Guess I will have to try and speak with someone there.  On my second day of not hearing back after another attempt to contact the seller.

Are you clicking the "here" link that at first you couldn't find? PayPal would let you open a case, because you've not yet opened a case at PayPal.

 

And by "someone there" are you speaking with PayPal, not eBay?
