[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2373195, member: 13307"]Well, I have something to add now. About a week ago, I sold an item on eBay and shipped the wrong coin. Happens maybe once, twice a year or less. Buyer contacted me today to let me know, so I replied that I was sorry for the mistake, I would send a refund for the return shipping, and send the correct coin right away. Was also going to refund their original shipping costs as a goodwill gesture. Now, I wasn't home at the time, and the PayPal app isn't the most functional...so I thought, "I'll do the refund when I get home in 10 minutes." Got home and the buyer had filed a SNAD return. So now I'm in a tough spot - the buyer has the wrong coin, which I need back. I can't send the correct coin now, because the buyer for some reason filed a return (which, if eBay approves it, will give them a complete refund.) I had already refunded their original shipping costs to cover return shipping for the wrong coin. So all I can do is send the buyer a message asking what they'd like to do. Would have taken care of it, and then some, if they had just communicated with me. The moral of the story is this: Sometimes, honest sellers make mistakes. It happens. If you contact them, and give them a chance to make it right, 100% of the time they will. If you get all Chuck Norris on them and start filing cases without communicating exactly what you want to happen...things get complicated and a simple problem turns into a mess.[/QUOTE]
