A bit like this deal and also requires activation.

Copying and pasting from the PayPal website:

Get your money back on return shipping.

  1. Activate Refunded Returns. You’ll be eligible for a refund on return shipping costs from your next PayPal purchase.

  2. If you return an eligible purchase, log in to your PayPal account to find the original transaction.

  3. Submit a request with proof of return** within 30 days of return and 150 days of purchase. Receive your refund, usually within 5 business days.

more conditions:

*Up to 8 refunds per PayPal account per year for eligible purchases. A cap of $45 per refund request applies. The Refunded Returns service is offered by PayPal Pte. Ltd, in partnership with TELUS International Europe, the service provider. See the General Conditions of Use and Privacy Policy for further information.
**Return shipping receipts require the seller’s address and the amount you paid. If your receipt doesn’t include the seller’s address, we also need a photo of the package you returned, showing the seller’s address.

          @Irate Monk:

          It's in one of the Hungry Jacks threads.

          Basically, one guy asked if he had to show printed vouchers to redeem a hungry jacks deal and everyone started repeating 'phone is fine' to him

          It's one of those ozbargain exclusive lines now that can be used in pretty much any sentence lol

        • Phrenetic on 28/02/2018 - 18:50

          @montorola:
          He asked if if printed vouchers or phone was ok. In that case, "phone is fine" was the response.

          In this case, Phone is fine is not the correct response to No fees. You don't just drop ozbargain responses that are out of context. You don't broden this deal, it's not an 80K investment, and you don't ask it to be set out into a table format pls PJC.

          Thanks.

          @urbancartel: Yup, they removed merchant rates. Some friends not at all pleased!

          Selling on ebay is more expensive and a minefield of scammer buyers and "behind the scenes negger" buyers who appear to leave decent feedback but hit the "behind the scenes" aspects of the stupid feedback system. One such person lives in WA and is on ozbargain. That one will probably neg this comment too.

          It depends on your sales volume. Smaller volume sellers will have their rates lowered, large volume or overseas sellers have their rates increased.

          "Merchant volume discounts based on sales volume will no longer be available, and customers previously receiving merchant volume discounts will be subject to the standard rates."

          @44sunsets:

          If it's behind the scenes, how does it affect the seller's ratings?

          You select 'Positive' feedback and comment ("all good, great seller blah blah blah") but give 1 star to all the DSR stuff (post, communication etc).

          No-one can see the DSR stuff so you can't tell where it's coming from. A poor DSR means you don't show up in best match, knocks you out of powerseller status or even suspend your account.

          But, to explain the "behind the scenes", the system has changed a bit (again) but with star rating, you can hit someone hard without them immediately realising who did it - but it was possible to find out.

          @brentsbits: Yup, it doesn't take a lot. This particular one took offence to something I said on here, can't remember what it was. So decided to hit my business because of a personal "gripe". This one bought a few items and left feedback over a period of time, so it counted as individual instead of one transaction - if you know what I mean. Personally, if I have a gripe with anyone, I will speak up (& I have had a few, especially on "old" ebay forums) but I would never go as low as hitting someone's business, especially when it puts the business at risk of being shut down.

          Maybe that person would stop hiding behind leaving me negatives on a lot of my comments here (a cowards way) and comment here to openly say why they did it?

          I await the neg.

      It is easy to discourage PayPal payments. Make all eBay listings pickup only.

      Most buyers will pay with cash when collecting and anyone who wants the item delivered is usually willing to comply with your demands which in my case is bank deposit only. No PayPal.

          A return label through eBay you mean?

          That is different to this. I think you are thinking of eBay returns where the buyer opens a dispute.

          With the PayPal offer there is no return label, the buyer arranges their own postage and PayPal pays for it.

          Using this service PayPal picks up the coast, not the seller.

    I see bit of a flaw with this. A scammer could fraudulently claim a return and ship a brick to the seller, get proof of return via postage receipt and be refunded from paypal even before the seller gets the brick.. 8 times.

    • Gunflavoured on 28/02/2018 - 12:03

      Sure, they could return a brick and get PayPal to pay for it but it’s not like they would profit from it. Not all returns involve a refund.

      • pinkhandbag on 28/02/2018 - 12:14

        Yeah I agree, but if they choose to get a refund and they have provided return proof, isn't paypal buyer protection going to enforce a refund. I absolutely think this is a great move by paypal for buyers. Just pointing out an possible issue for sellers.

        • Gunflavoured on 28/02/2018 - 12:29

          They might get a refund but surely after the seller submits a photo of a brick in a package they would reverse it. Hopefully they would also reverse the postage refund and ban the PayPal account. Either way, it’s still a great deal for buyers.

        • pinkhandbag on 28/02/2018 - 12:57

          Maybe, but a photo isn't reasonable proof and it's really the customers word against the seller. I'm sure ebay and paypal would side with the customer.

      Isn't this just refund of the return shipping cost? So you pay $20 to post the brick, and get your $20 back? Maybe AusPost and brick manufacturers are the only ones to benefit?

      • pinkhandbag on 28/02/2018 - 13:39

          The seller still is in control of processing the refund, right?

          The seller would open the brick, notice it is a brick, and then decide NOT to refund the money to the buyer for returning a brick.

    thought I already turned it on months ago.
    thanks for the reminder!

    why does this require activation?, what right or opportunity are we giving up by activating this?

      None. It's a perk you need to activate in order to use.

      Read the terms and conditions carefully.

          You need to do EVERYTHING they specify.
          I've used it a couple of times, the first time they tried to claim I didn't provide the evidence required. I pointed out that I had and they put the refund through.

          It all looks pretty innocuous.

          Just stating what you need to do to activate the return, and what is and isn't covered.

          There's no mention of your data being sold to a third-party, or anything like that.

      Happy to be corrected, but I think since it is backed by an insurance group, it has to be an opt in.
