It was bound to happen, a returned item on ebay. I recently had four 1976 Series $2 Star Note bills up on ebay, all four were bought by one person, and now he is returning them because he states that "the images were better than the actual bills". I scanned and posted them "as-is" with no modification (autocorrect or photoshopping). The bills are nice, crisp uncirculated, but I think it may be buyer's remorse. Should I use the "second offer" or rescan and relist them after I cancel the transactions and recoup the ebay fees?  Edited by oih82w8

Make it easy on your self and do the second chance offer.

If they were crisp and uncirculated, how can he not like the looks of them? If anything, coins and bills look better in hand because of the way cameras tend to show everything. I wouldn't think scanners are any different. Up to you but I wouldn't be so quick to let the buyer off the hook so easy.

With the standard 14 day return policy on ebay, I would think that it would be in favor of the buyer, not being satisfied with the product sold. I have not received them back yet, and I'm hoping that they are in the same condition that they left here in. I will make some second offer contacts when I receive the notes and the sales are cancelled with fees returned. Edited by oih82w8

I actually dont understand the 2nd chance listing myself and have never used it. I do know if you select sell similar option it will create a new listing that is identical to the old one pictures and all if you dont edit it and could just relist that way. Quote:With the standard 14 day return policy on ebay, I would think that it would be in favor of the buyer Yea if you offer that the buyer really doesn't need a good reason to ask for the money back they just have to return the item. You can keep the cost of shipping though if you want and a restocking fee but only if the restocking was noted in the actual listing when it was bought. Edited by basebal21

Second chance offer allows you to offer it to anyone that bid on the item and didn't win. Saves the trouble of relisting and waiting for them to sell again. In many cases, second high bids are close to the winning bid.

Second chance also don't have a listing fee, so smaller sale price is offset by that.

It may be because I have an ebay store, or maybe it's just an ebay rule I'm not positive, but if I list an item and it either doesn't sell or someone wins and doesn't pay or returns it and I relist the item and the item sells, I get my listing fee returned. So I'm only charged once for listing and once for FVF's. |

That seems to be how mine has been working anyway |
