Seller wants me to return item without label from seller

[ocurbane]

I had to return a shirt to a seller, and they accepted it right away.  They did however respond with this:

Since I have your email address for a refund, if you can send it back Monday, not the amount it cost, I'll refund it all. Sorry for your inconvenience. ebay shipping is twice the cost that you and I actually incur sending it through the post office. Thank you

I replied by saying I prefer to do everything through eBay.  Should I be concerned, or is this a reasonable request by the Seller?  If it is reasonable, how should I proceed?

If someone could let me know, that would be great!

Don't contact your seller again.

At the end of 3 business days, eBay will notice that your seller has not issued a return label, and will either issue a label on behalf of the seller (written in those words) or show you a third option to ask eBay to step in (do that).

Seller only trying 2 save himself return ship cost
