Been like 1 year already so I thought I'd post it again ;)

With PayPal’s Refunded Returns service we’ll refund you the cost of sending items back, up to 8 times per year, to a value of $45 per eligible transaction.

What's not eligible?

Intangible goods, like music or vouchers
Items that the seller excludes from their return policy
Items you haven't paid for in full with your PayPal account
Note: You may return items using the Service if you paid for your online purchase in its entirety using your PayPal account, this is not limited to eBay only.

    • avgbowlofpho on 07/06/2016 - 20:55

      technically not, because it's been more than 6 months

        Technically, it is. But its not against the rules is what you mean

        • avgbowlofpho on 08/06/2016 - 08:35

          Yup

    eligible purchases until 31 July 2015. per year.

    Jesus OP if you are going to repost at least put some effort in.

  • Chickenleg on 07/06/2016 - 20:57

    How strict are they with proof? I just returned a parcel but forgot to take a photo of the package so only have the receipt from AusPost (non-trackable)

    • pl3x on 07/06/2016 - 20:58

      Receipt needs to show that its going to original sender

      A copy/photo of the shipping cost receipt that shows the amount you paid (1 document).

      A document proving that the item was sent to the seller: a copy of the courier receipt with the receiver's address visible or a photo of the package with the receiver’s address visible (1 document).

      Request it here: https://www.paypal-returns.com/hc/en-au/requests/new

      • Chickenleg on 07/06/2016 - 21:13

        Yeh thought so. Damn, thanks.

        • donnot on 08/06/2016 - 11:48

          I was able to just provide the paypal transaction number, attach a copy of the receipt and if you want to be safe, send a screencap of any conversation you've had with the seller.

      • furyou on 07/06/2016 - 21:55

        So if seller doesn't take it and you send to maker for warranty, you're SOL?

      Used it today after I returned a faulty Redmi Note 3 Pro to Hong Kong but when I originally tried to claim my refund from Paypal I realised the AustPost receipt didn't include the receiver's details and I had no photo.. Luckily, when I went back to the PO (2 hours later) they were able to retrieve my parcel for me to take a few snaps…Phew, the postage was $41!

      Now all lodged and receipt acknowledged by Paypal..just waiting for approval……Here's hoping they cover it..

      • Chickenleg on 07/06/2016 - 21:37

        Nice! I was thinking about contacting the place I returned to but meh, it was only $7.50 postage. I'll submit it anyway just in case they're feeling generous at the time.

        • Luigi Savadamoni on 08/06/2016 - 00:08

          Bingo! Got an email from Telus tonight to say my refund will be posted in 5 days…let's hope my warranty claim is dealt with just as smoothly…

    • DaWeizOne on 07/06/2016 - 22:00

      I did that too, but I sent PayPal a copy of the receipt and the email I received from ozsale when I returned the item and they refunded it !

      • Chickenleg on 07/06/2016 - 22:02

        Sweet! I might be lucky

    • beyond2k on 07/06/2016 - 22:18

      I forgot to take a photo of the parcel and only the receipt once. I left a brief message in the notes section and it was fine.

      • sk0tty on 07/06/2016 - 22:39

        I had no such luck. I forgot the photo of the parcel, only had a receipt without the return address details on it. They refused to refund the postage.

        The lesson here is follow their T&C's to the letter to make sure you get your refund.

  • altomic on 07/06/2016 - 21:05

    this would be really easy to abuse.

    imagine you are moving some place. just buy 8 items from that seller in that area. oh, the seller has the identical address of the house you are moving to. oh and you are the seller. and buyer. interstate and international postage never looked so good.

    8 boxes of crap with free post.

    or you want to send crap to your friend in another place. get them to list something on ebay. 1cents item. 1 cent postage. buy it. and return "it"

      well, there is selling fees so your friend has to pay those fees

      • altomic on 07/06/2016 - 21:27
        +4

        using free listings, 1 cent item and 1 cent postage so selling fees would be 1cent.

        • avgbowlofpho on 07/06/2016 - 21:33

          how about 1 cent and free postage?

          @Bearosaurus: Such items will be purchased by bots faster than you can say xkcd

          +1

          @Bearosaurus: considering selling fees are < 10% then you could do any combination of selling price and postage that is 10 cents and under. 9/1, 5/2 , 4,3 - the sky's the limit.

        "You may return items using the Service if you paid for your online purchase in its entirety using your PayPal account, this is not limited to eBay only."

        You can probably just do a "private sale" and pay via PayPal, without listing on eBay. I assume a gumtree "sale" would count…

    • highwind on 09/06/2016 - 10:07

      If you wanted to abuse a system, especially large, automated systems like this, there are always plenty of ways to do so. E.g. You can probably make a hundred or so off of each of those semi-regular 10% off offers if you wanted to (taking into account fees). It all comes down to ethics and morals…

  • rocklinsuv on 07/06/2016 - 21:31

    Well, TELUS approved my refund request on May 26th, but the refund hasn't turned up yet.
    It says within 5 business days! Anyone experienced this before?

    • ScoMosas on 08/06/2016 - 05:24

      You need to check statement in classic view. It generally does not appear on normal view of PayPal transactions.

        Umm, they told me to wait for another 5 days but it hasn't appeared yet.

        • MTWallet on 17/06/2016 - 01:16

          Did you receive your refund yet? I've been waiting since they approved my claim on May 27. First they said 5 days. Nothing. Than they said 'We are truly sorry for the delay. Please be advised that you will receive a refund directly to your PayPal account within 5 business days. Thanks for using PayPal, please wait another 5 days.' Still nothing.

          Then they said,'Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, we are experiencing some difficulties due to unusually high volumes. We are confident that all pending refunds, including yours, would be processed within one week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.' That was June 10. Still no refund as yet.

        • rocklinsuv on 17/06/2016 - 10:03

          @MTWallet: Same here. Haven't heard from them yet. I hope they don't go bankcrupt -_-

        • MTWallet on 17/06/2016 - 18:31

          @rocklinsuv: Thought I'd let you know I have just received my refund.

        • rocklinsuv on 17/06/2016 - 20:27

          @MTWallet: I've just realized the refund came at around 7pm. :D

  • rack on 07/06/2016 - 21:42

    I've done it once before and firstly didn't get any email confirmation.nothing for the time frame given. Emailed them and they said nothing was received. Sent them request again and this time rejected cause they found another claim with the same receipt. Asked about the original claim and said that was rejected but no reason. 2 days later got an email saying approved and money received.

    Did one today. Again no confirmation. Kept a screenshot.

  • lostn on 08/06/2016 - 01:00

    Do they pay for the packaging materials as well or just postage fee?

      its easy to get tonnes of upvotes for things which aren't deals (or good deals). the ozbargain voting system can't be relied on at all

  • 7412547854 on 08/06/2016 - 13:47

    A quick question. If I purchased a item before I activated the service, am I still covered for the free return shipping? As far as I can tell, the only dates that are specified is Mar 2015, when this service began. Just double checking cause I'm tossing up sending it back from home, or sending back while I'm in singapore on holidays (~$10SGD to send to UK).
