Just keep in the back room, it may take awhile. You owe the seller nothing, much less ANY return shipping cost. I’ve been buying and selling online for over 21 years. As a seller, I had to learn the hard way, don’t feel sorry for the guy. Guess I missed the part of your post that said you got the cost refunded. You are much more than generous, no one has ever offered to pay half of the return shipping!
Returning damaged item to seller....
I bought a Project Ground It which unfortunately was damaged during shipping. The seller refused refund even after sending multiple pictures of damaged item to him. Only after I initiated PayPal action did he decide to refund me. Through out this process he did not want the item back. Now he has decided he wants it back. I am willing to return it but he refuses to pay for return shipping costs. Am I correct in thinking he should pay return shipping fee? Thanks!
