Customer return after 10 months

  I sold an item in March of 2020 and the customer just(1/26/2021) sent me a message stating the part was just now tried for the first time and found to be defective. They want to return it or at least have and exchange. 

 Do I have to worry about any issues if I say no?

"if the buyer is a old person he will want a full refund and the item . old people are very greedy and they feel like they are owed everything "

 

I hope that was sarcasm!  And why did they take away the IGNORE button?????????????????????????

Re: Customer return after 10 months

Sometimes I wish there was a 'bad' seller list like the buyer block list....I have my own in a notebook but it'd be easier if they were blocked automatically, seeing as I'm old and can't remember stuff........lolololol.

Speaking of blocking, I'm assuming this buyer has made the special list?

You bet!  Gimme your wallet or I'll roll ya for it because it's actually mine, since I'm one of the olds.

Re: Customer return after 10 months

What about a seller selling a 1942 wheat cent that's worth a dime for $100.00. Is that not the essence of Greed or are you just trying to take advantage of uninformed buyers.

At least this 80 year old gal knows that it is illegal to ship magazines by Media Mail but it doesn't appear that you do by looking at your listings.

 

And since you are also a tarheel all I will say is "Bless your heart" .............

You also shouldn't sell partial bottles of cologne as new in box and they don't qualify to ship any way but ground service---not priority or 1st class.   Old people aren't all greedy, but many are honest and know the rules.

Re: Customer return after 10 months

i wouldn't respond to such an unreasonable request...

 

or maybe... wait 10 months and then respond informing them that you just now checked your email...

Yeah, I never saw a 'new in box' cologne come 50% full .. and new in what box? That's not even shown.

Some credit card companies including PP offer  120 day returns. Watch for a chargeback. CRAZY!

Have had it happen.  My reply was - "The mechansim to refund or adjust this transaction has expired." 

 

If it's something you routinely stock make sure to block the buyer.

Re: Customer return after 10 months

@angwjea  You picked the wrong fight here.  A lot of us are old and older!  We are here to supplement our income, enjoy collecting and selling or maybe so we don't have time to rob banks!  Some of us are physically impaired and this is something we can do.  There is an active seller on the Collectibles Board who is 92 and still at it.

 

Maybe you will take time to read the rules for selling and correct some of your listings.

 

Best of luck for a very long and active life.
