puzzler trying to return large lot of items

[keziak]

I reported to a buyer that the "sets" I ordered were not actually COMPLETE sets. They said go ahead and return them but I balked at paying for the return. I contacted ebay who sided with me and they contacted the seller.

A little while ago I got a return label which I do appreciate.....except it's one label. The items were shipped in four large boxes to me. Even if I manage to find a very large box to return them in, using the one label, I am not at all sure if it will come in under 70 pounds. Oof. Also, what if the P.O. says the return label is not enough to pay the postage, could that happen? I won't get my refund if the P.O. doesn't return it.

I sent them another message pointing out that they shipped the items to me in multiple boxes so wouldn't I need multiple labels? Not sure what to do if I don't hear back from them shortly. Any thoughts on what you would do in this scenario?

The first I would do would be to find out of there is actually a problem.

You make valid points. Maybe this situation is more on me. I scrutinized the photos and some seem like they may be complete, some not. A mixed bag. Probably I should never have bought them in the first place. Now that they are here and the return process seems like it will be a confusing hassle perhaps I should contact the seller again and ask if he'd meet me part way and give me a partial refund towards what I can't use, maybe what I paid in shipping the first time.
