Feeling guilty about refund

8 replies

Bought ds some clothes last week, they arrived and one item was a size smaller than stated. Emailed seller to check the right things had been sent and she refunded in full straight away. I emailed again saying I wanted to keep some stuff and was happy to pay half and return the too small item but have heard nothing. Should I keep the whole bundle, return it all, pay all/ some of the refunded money back to the seller or something else? I feel bad keeping the clothes without paying but seller isn't replying to me. I didn't ask for a refund btw.

Weird!
I think you could just go to your Paypal account, find the original transaction, & send her some money now using her details there. Say you don't feel right having a full refund so would like to give her this amount for the items, hope she thinks that's fair, etc.

ps; lots of people on hols, that's likely part of why she's not replying.

I couldn't understand how she jumped (within an hr) from getting my query re the size/ correct item to having sent a full refund before I'd replied. She simply said "whoops sorry here's your money back"
I'll send her some money and ease my guilt :) didn't realise I could do that without an 'invoice' to 'pay' on pp.

Should I offer to return the too small item to her? If so who should pay postage? If it was her error I'm guessing she pays postage?

Don't bother unless she mentions it, not unless it's worth at least £3 to her, I'd think.

Just logged on to PayPal to do this- should I send it as a gift? Does that mean she won't pay fees on it? Or is there a reason not to send it as a gift? I already have the items and the seller has already refunded my original payment.

Yes send it as gift so that she avoids fees.

She was probably just about to get away on holiday.
