Hard lesson!

[kailuagal536]

After mistakenly listing an item’s size, a buyer asked for a refund, sending a photo as evidence.  Of course, I accepted the return, and as it was my first return, I mistakenly sent the refund for $130+.  Buyer asked for a shipping label, which I purchased and sent via messsage.  Sadly and foolishly, I lost.  I received no reply.  Communication on her part went silent.  Hard lesson.  I’ve lost my item and my money.

yes, I now realize that I should not sent the refund until I received the item back.  Sigh.  😔 I did report it to eBay, but I guess I have no recourse.   Thinking I should say something on feedback as I see my lovely new item now gone…

I doubt she needed it anymore than you, She is just a dishonest person with no morals.

You are correct - you have no recourse, and "reporting" your own voluntary refund will not accomplish anything.

Thinking I should say something on feedback

If you post a negative comment in feedback, adding a policy violation to your voluntary refund will not accomplish anything either.

Some mistakes cost money.  As do some lessons.
