      No. The buyer doesn't pay shipping. Ebay forces the seller to pay shipping if the return is anything other than "changed my mind"
      But even if the return is a buyers remorse return the buyer can still get ebay to pay them back the shipping after they won the claim. And 9 out of 10 the buyer wins the return claim. No matter what. I know because ive gone through this a few times with very expensive items.
      What the seller has to do is open a fraud claim. They make you fill out some paperwork and 9 times out of 10 ebay pays the seller back. Or 10 out of 10 for me.

If eBay is not siding with you as a seller, chances are…you’re the problem. Just saying

    "There are some characters who abuse this system," is an understatement. I stopped selling on ebay 12 years ago because every. single. thing. I sold was having the buyer trying to scam me by claiming it didn't work or wanting me to refund them and let them keep the item. At one point, the last straw, really; I sold two matched Radeon video cards and the buyer claimed they didn't work and wanted a full refund - and without permission sent back ONE card. Just one...but wanted the refund for both. I had to get eBay involved and they found in my favor at least. I'm not sure what gene it is that some people have that makes them so dishonest but I don't have it. I've never figured out how to be like that to other people.

      I’ve done the same for Amazon, even packed it 1000% better than it was when they shipped it out to me even though it had arrived as broken, and drove it out to a freight forwarder. All because I understand that engineers and the supply chain need and may even value real examples of what went wrong, and what can go right. Knowledge easily trumped that article’s value that day. So when yours arrived well-packed and not broken, you can thank me, or at least if it isn’t ok, not curse me.

      Personally, I wouldn't put the other person to any sort of trouble or loss just 'cause I "changed" my mind. Not gentlemanly.
      And if at all I went through a change of mind I would be willing to compensate the other person to a reasonable extent for their time, trouble and potential loss of business.

    In the UK we had an issue with buyers returning high price ceramics saying 'item was broken in post'. On one occasion, after seeing the same seller was returning for the same reason, it became apparent the buyer, was buying a damaged piece (very cheap) and then a perfect piece, he would then return the broken piece to the seller he had purchased the perfect piece from claiming it was broken on arrival. Dealers tend to talk to each other and we caught him by marking the extremities of a piece he purchased, on this occasion, a Beswick horse, marking the ears, tail and feet with an invisible security marker. Sure enough he returned the piece saying it arrived broken, however none of the marks we had put on the piece we sent were present. The person was reported to the police for suspected fraud, as well as eBay.

    Had a store on ebay and closed it last year because of all the nonsense. Ebay virtually always sides with the buyers, no matter there reasons or proof you have otherwise. Ebay even took money out of my account to give a FULL refund to the buyer even though I had previously addressed the buyers complaint and refunded 50% per the buyers request. I didnt argue, and then ebay refunds the full amount. So now the buyer still has the item and 150% of the purchase price. What a nightmare mess. I was so sick of it that I just quit selling.

    I've been selling on ebay since 1998. Ebay will 99 and 44/100th % of the time side with the buyer. I sold a 1995 POTF star wars ship (at-at), brand new, sealed because I bought myself from Toys r us. It contained 2 exlusive figures. The buyer returned the item claiming it was used. Guess what he sent me - a similar used item missing the figures and other parts from 1996. Ebay sided with him, refunded the full amount after taking $25 from my account for the shipping. The person got my new item and probably sold it. Ebay has become a haven for scammers because of their lenient return policy. You can't even leave negative feedback as a seller anymore.

    I was at an auto parts store one day when a customer
    came in with a box. He wanted to return this truck grille
    he had special ordered. The parts man pulled the part
    out of the box to check it & found the customer had
    painted the chrome grille flat black. The customer
    tried to argue that he had not painted it, but, the box
    stated on the label FORD F150 CHROME GRILLE
    Plus, the partsman said he could smell the fresh paint.
    The idiot had not test fit it to his truck and he had
    special ordered a grill for the wrong year model.
    The partsman made him eat it. He was SO pissed.
    Well, dont do stupid stuff.

    @Craigslist Hunter: I don’t use ebay, but noticed your clip title and was interested in the nature of the scam and how you would handle it. You handled it like a pro! As you stated, it wasn’t a high value transaction, but the purchaser needed to be held accountable. Maybe you will convict their conscience. Wishing you continued success!

    i hate buyers like that....they think they're so smart and can always get their money back.
    Wait until you you come up against a buyer that has a "good friend" working in the post office...customer (buyer) places "hold" item at post office....probably after the mail is already on local route for delivery that morning....so now the tracked item looks like it's being held at post office...and never been delivered....and when the seller checks for the item's location at the post office...naturally the item is missing and not at the post office....meanwhile the buyer actually has the item in their hands from their friend that doesn't scan it and files an "open case" against the seller for undelivered item worth $1,800. Buyer then relaxes and sits nice and smug with their $1,800. item waiting for their $1,800. refund...meanwhile seller (me) is working my azz off to locate lost item and I then have to write up a lost item case against the post office for the $1,800. item. Customer (buyer) places "hold item" and his friend delivering mail does the buyer a favor by not scanning it at delivery....this scenario will cause the seller intense grief. It's rare, not many buyers know this....but if a buyer wants to scam....it's the perfect way!!!
    I should let you know the conclusion: as soon as the buyer knew i was filing a lost item with the U.S.P.S. for the $1,800. and was not going to make a quick refund to him ( it was going to be a long-drawn out process) ....incredibly, he instantly found he already had and put the item in his collection and didn't realize it cause it was showing "undelivered" on his E-Bay postal tracking so he filed a case....nice!!! He was very apologetic...just an incredible mistake on his part.

    I've been selling and buying on ebay for @ 20 years just a small seller and have had a handful of cases. So far never lost a case but I try to package carefully and make sure item is as described. I can't believe someone bothered to return a $10 item and especially when the reason was they changed their mind. I block someone like that so they never can buy from me again. Love how you interact with the cat and bird, really makes your vlog more fun to watch. Take care.

    I have opened a small music store recently, we sell guitars on reverb but only parts and accessories on eBay. You’re not even safe buying off of eBay anymore, not to mention the screwy business practices. The very most we’ve ever owed them is $40, now they want access to our bank account to take their money out, whenever they want to. Which we refuse to do, I don’t think many people would want anyone having that type of access. That scam that you just showed us, is new to me, I wouldn’t have even thought about something like that, scammers are smart though.

      As times change, the biggest difference is the incredible erosion of social trust. I think of examples just in my lifetime, such as how we pay for gasoline. Not that long ago you pulled up to the pump and the cashier inside would switch it on. You filled up your tank and then you'd go inside and pay. (With a personal check if you wanted.) This is just a one small example.

      You used to be able to lookup what a buyer has bid on or bought in the last 30 days. You could also see the kind of feedback they have left for other sellers and buyers used to get negative feedback. This was helpful for sellers to know who they're dealing with.
      Besides the blocked bidders list, you set your buyer requirements to block buyers with 2 or more unpaid item strikes in the past 12 months. This block was helpful on 5 or 6 of my items as several nonpayer were blocked. I wish sellers would use this block.
