Amazon seller refusing refund

Not really legal as such but posted elsewhere with no response so wondered if anyone knew my rights? I bought an iPad on Amazon, it said I was eligible for a refund for a year after the purchase, after 4 months the iPad is useless it doesn’t charge and just constantly turns off even when charging (yes I’ve used multiple chargers) I didn’t realise when I bought it it was a 3rd party seller but it still said I was eligible for a refund so I opened a claim and seller accepted and I sent it back, when seller received it they decided they would not refund me and only replace! The original return states they accept my refund request. I called Amazon who said I was entitled to a refund but they would have to open a claim and that it usually takes a week but can take up to a month. It’s been 10 days and nothing until today the seller has sent me a replacement! Despite the fact I’ve clearly had a claim open for a refund and made it clear I didn’t want a replacement. It took me ages to find somewhere to print the return label as I didn’t have access to a printer at home and cost me £8 to send back. What can I do here as I’m really annoyed this was a lot of money and I didn’t want a replacement. The claim is still active so they have gone separately and sent a replacement to me.

We need a screenshot of the sellers terms. I don’t believe a seller would allow a refund for upto a year.

Indeed. If we take OP's post at face value, the seller was effectively saying that she could have a free iPad provided she returned it within 12 months. That is highly unlikely. So, in order to judge whether the seller has given her additional rights, we need to know what the seller actually said.

Have you got a screenshot of the returns policy from the seller @MaxwellCat ?

I've only ever seen eligible for return, not refund so I'm curious on the wording.

This is what I was wondering too.

I'm guessing the lack of response means OP has looked at it and realised it didn't say have a refund whenever!

I thought I would come back to update this for the people that “didn’t believe me” I was finally issued a refund today after lots of back and forth with Amazon and yes it did say I Was entitled to a refund for up to 1 year under the A-Z guarantee, so for anyone in this situation keep going and don’t listen to the doubters trying to put you off 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 I couldn’t be bothered to argue with people on here that clearly didn’t know what they was talking about hence my “lack of response” but for anyone else reading or having trouble with amazon don’t let them fob you off!
