Does a buyer have to return an item if I don't want them to

[mreinsmith]

I refunded a buyer immediately and told them they didn't have to return it

If they return it I'll get charged for the label

They asked me if it "OK" not to return it.  I'm guessing they think they'll get in trouble with ebay.

So do they have to return if I refunded them already and don't want them to?

nope.  they do not need to return it if you refunded already and told them not to send it back.

No, if you refunded, the case is closed and they can do whatever they want with the item.

Tell them eBay doesn't own the item, you do and it's your decision.
