This was one of the lamest.

In the top 10 anyways.

Buyer bought a Drive walker from me...FedEx punched a nice hole in the box, so the Buyer just assumed the walker was damaged. Requested return reason was a damaged item (obviously). eBay approved the return and charged ME to pay the return shipping. I received the walker back and found there is absolutely zero damage. I filed an appeal regarding the transaction and eBay said they are going to refund me the $31 they charged me for return shipping. That's great, but I'm still out about $51 on the transaction due to the expensive FedEx shipping that I cannot file a claim on because there's no damage! During the process, I offered to refund the purchase price of the walker and let the Buyer keep it...but THEY TURNED THE OFFER DOWN! Been selling on eBay 20 years...never been so frustrated with a transaction.

My lamest one goes back way before the returns went through eBay. I sell magazines and I once had a buyer ask to return a magazine. When I asked her what was wrong with it and why she wants to return, she replied that she had finished reading it and wanted to return it. I just told her I was not running a lending library and she couldn't return it if there was nothing wrong with it. She went away.

My thought is…

If they would rather have money ..why buy in the first place? 🤦‍🤷🏻‍

It didn't fit. Even though the size is in the title and description. I also recommend in my description to measure their wrists for a comfortable & proper fit.

It just doesn't matter. 🙄

I had a buyer return a set of underwear before because they were lace and had tags in them. They were not listed as "tagless" as there would be no way a lace pair of panties could be tagless anyway. They returned them. I blocked them because I found it ridiculous. 1 week later they went to buy the same set from me again and they couldn't because I blocked them. They sent me an email asking if I could unblock them and let them buy it again because they promise not to return them again. I didn't reply. I also had someone open a return for some candy that were individually wrapped. In the return they cussed me out because she knocked them on the floor when you opened them and smashed them all.

I can't land on just 1...

1. A lady got a sweater from me. Claimed it came drenched/totally wet and said there were no holes or tears in the packaging. Took about 5 days to send me a photo...then another 7 days to open a return. She sent it back to me and it was so musty smelling due to being drenched. Obviously I didn't send it drenched. In fact it was a very expensive and nice sweater. eBay stepped in and helped me out with this fraud.

2. Someone bought a sweater new with tags for the granddaughter who was pregnant. Granddaughter claimed it had a strong smoke smell and she saw hair all over it... I am highly allergic to cigarette smoke. They demanded a refund, I told them they had to send it back in order to get a refund. Finally they opened a return, sent it back, and it had one piece of lint that I could find and smelled totally fresh... again, eBay stepped in and helped me out this fraud.

Someone wanted to return a 5$ game (+3$ Shipping) because "they couldn't afford it." Likely a scam but seriously for less than 10$CAD you cant afford it? Pathetic lol. I refunded and blocked and went on my way. If you can't afford ten bucks then you cant afford to shop at my store lol

I didn't send enough yarn to complete her project---she said she needed 6 skeins. Unfortunately she bought 2 skeins from me and was livid.

I'm going to vote for this as the lamest reason. Wow.

I sold a vintage Hawaiian shirt. The guy opened a return as INAD. I asked him what exactly was the problem? He said there was a toothpick in the pocket! 😆. I approved the return, got the shirt back, resold it minus the toothpick.

(This is not me providing a lame return reason, just need to comment on the toothpick)

Oh come on! That's a free extra bonus item! I don't understand ... I've literally seen and even had a buyer complain once that they spent "good money" and are upset that I didn't send them a "Thank you gift like other sellers send" and they "could've bought elsewhere and gotten a thankyou gift!!"

So this guy got a freebie extra item and made a return over that? 🙄
