A return counts as a Case Closed Without Seller Resolution (a “CCWSR”) Defect when you, as the seller, are not able to resolve the issue with the buyer, and eBay is asked to step in, and we resolve the issue in favor of the buyer.
If you choose not to organize the means of return, be aware that the buyer may ask eBay to step in and help. If eBay resolves the request in the buyer’s favor, you may lose the item and the funds, and also get a Defect.
If the return label was provided by you, being the seller, and the product is lost in transit, you would still need to refund the buyer if there is no movement per tracking details in the last 7 days. If the case is escalated to eBay, and we resolve the request in buyer’s favor, you will receive a Defect.
