eBay lied about the seller when they gave me a refund, I have email proof. I feel the one that’s benefiting is AusPost as they are off the hook therefore it’s their scam.

I shall elaborate in the situation now.

I ordered a parcel. The postman clearly made mistake. Wrong house with photo delivery. I opened money back case. eBay decided in sellers favour stating the first lie. That it was delivered correctly.

Then I angrily appeal, saying seller even agreed it was wrong delivery.

Then I get two more lies from eBay. One saying I’ll get a refund because the seller agreed and never gave a refund, outright lie LOL. And another lie I have the emails hold on I’ll update later.

I think AusPost is happy they don’t have to pay insurance. eBay happy. Seller screwed.

I got a refund i forgot to say

    Auspost is happy they don’t have to pay insureance

    Why wouldn't the seller make a claim for wrong delivery?

      Even if they did auspost find every flippin reason under the sun to deny.

      Have claimed 5 times as a seller over 3 years and everytime denied :)

    Look. I tried to read your post. Couldn’t make sense of it.

    Read it backwards. Still nothing. Tried crossing my eyes. No good.

    Will try again after finishing my bottle of Jim Beam

      It's in broken English but hardly a mystery novel!

      • Their eBay order was delivered to the wrong address by Auspost.
      • They complained and were refused a refund from eBay who claimed it was delivered.
      • They appealed and eBay decided they should have been refunded after all. eBay said it was because the seller agreed to refund but then didn't (which apparently they never did) and for a second reason that is being hidden from us for no apparent reason.

      The OP is just very confused and seems to think that means the seller is being penalised (because "eBay is lying") while Auspost get away with it. Auspost couldn't care less what eBay thinks - they do their own investigation, and if the photo shows that it was delivered to a different house then I don't see why they'd reject a claim from the seller. The seller will only lose if they were sending something worth more than the compensation level they selected when posting it.

      Why the OP is so keen to defend a seller who apparently refused to refund them after not receiving the item they ordered I have no idea!

          It's English and I speak English?

          Though I feel it's normal in modern Australia to be communicating with immigrants who haven't fully grasped the language yet - I'm surprised you all aren't used to it!

          • [Deactivated] on 30/09/2023 - 16:50

            @callum9999: lol

            The issue is not that the post may have been written by an immigrant so unclear why you're so sure it was

            • callum9999 on 30/09/2023 - 18:03

              @[Deactivated]: I don't think that's the issue? I said my experience speaking to immigrants who don't fully grasp English helps me understand stoner freecandy.

              Think about what they're trying to say instead of focussing on each individual word and confusing yourself.

              EDIT: I see how my post could be interpreted as saying that the OP is an immigrant. I had absolutely no idea whether they were or not (they're not) - I was comparing their speech to that of someone who can't speak English well.

            @holdenmg:

            1. The user ordered a parcel and experienced a delivery mistake where the postman delivered to the wrong house.
            2. The user opened a money-back case on eBay.
            3. eBay initially decided in the seller's favor, stating that the item was correctly delivered.
            4. The user appealed the decision, pointing out that even the seller agreed it was a wrong delivery.
            5. eBay then provided two more false statements: first, that they would issue a refund because the seller agreed (which did not happen), and second, another lie for which the user has email proof.
            6. The user concludes that AusPost benefits from this situation, as they avoid paying insurance, while eBay is also happy, leaving the seller at a disadvantage.

          they made a lot of "mistakes" then

          • callum9999 on 30/09/2023 - 20:31

            @freecandy: Well if they've done a lot of things you haven't mentioned, I'm afraid I can't read your mind so my advice isn't going to be much use!

            • freecandy on 01/10/2023 - 12:37

              @callum9999: My point is why would they lie about the seller like imagine if you lied about someone else wouldn’t you feel bad?

              • callum9999 on 01/10/2023 - 17:28

                @freecandy: And as I've already said, it's incredibly unlikely that they are lying…

                If you refuse to say what the lie is then I can't say any more than that…

    That it was delivered correctly.

    Well it was delivered correctly to that address I guess!

    I think Auspost is happy they don’t have to pay insureance

    All parcels come with $100 insurance by default. It will come down to what address was on the packge.

    Seller screwed

    Depends on what the value was I guess.

    But it was either you get screwed by not having a package, which you clearly hadn't wanted hence the case, or the seller gets screwed.

    From here, the seller can follow up with auspost to claim insurance.

  • Some Human on 30/09/2023 - 19:23

    Ebay probably refunded one of you out of their own pocket. They do that sometimes.

    ChatGPT:

    This passage describes a situation where the author believes there was a problem with a delivery they ordered through eBay. Here's a breakdown of the main points:

    1. The author received a delivery, but the postman made a mistake and delivered it to the wrong house, with photo evidence of the incorrect delivery.

    2. The author opened a case to get a refund on eBay due to the delivery mistake, but eBay initially sided with the seller, claiming that the delivery was correct. The author believes eBay lied about this.

    3. The author appealed this decision, pointing out that the seller had even acknowledged the mistake. However, the author received two more lies from eBay. One lie was about getting a refund because the seller agreed, but the refund was not given. The other lie is mentioned but not elaborated upon.

    4. The author suspects that Australia Post (AusPost) might be benefiting from this situation because they may not have to pay insurance for the incorrect delivery. They also suggest that eBay might be happy with this outcome, while the seller is the one negatively affected.

    Overall, the passage highlights frustration with the handling of a delivery issue on eBay and a perception of dishonesty on the part of eBay and potential benefits for AusPost.

  • freecandy on 01/10/2023 - 11:48

    The other lie was “the seller has been unhelpful” in eBay email

    • gromit on 02/10/2023 - 13:21

      So the seller was helpful and refunded you the money or sent a new package immediately?

  • AustriaBargain on 02/10/2023 - 14:43

    This sounds like the seller's problem. Why are you still even thinking about it?

  • Zorololo on 02/10/2023 - 15:52

    This kinda stuff happens but at least you got your money back so best to forget about and just move on.
