Buyer trying to return item after 30 days
eBay's return window is WAY too long.
What is the return policy as a seller?
Hi guys! Is eBay's policy of return 30days from purchase date or 30 days from receiving the item, shipped tacking date?
Can I decline an eBay return request after 30 days?
Sellers can decline a return request if 30 days have passed because the money-back guarantee has expired. A buyer can still open a request to discuss the order details, but there is no longer an obligation on the seller to accept it for any reason.
Does an eBay seller have to accept returns?
All eBay sellers must state their returns policy up front in their shop posts. Private sellers can include a no returns policy, although they are still subject to eBay’s Money Back Guarantee. Business sellers must accept returns by law and let customers know via their policy that they can request a return within 14 days.
How do I refund an eBay managed payment?
Managed payments are a good way to sell and get paid in the same place, with buyers able to use a wide variety of eBay-protected ways to pay including by credit card. To refund via managed payments, follow these steps:
1. Select Send Refund from the dropdown menu in the My eBay Sold tab.
2. Select a reason for the refund.
3. Enter the refund amount at the item or order level.
4. Confirm the refund amount and select Send Refund.

I sold an item about a month and half ago. It states in my ad and listing that I do not accept returns. Last night I get a message that the item "is not as described" because it has a lock that seller claims does not work. I know for a fact that it it is locked because I shipped it in the lock position, but to unlock it you need to press a small button, and I am afraid the buyer broke it by forcing it to unlock. What are my options here? Flat out deny it? Ask for proof? He just messaged me about the request and I don't think he put an ACTUAL request if that matters.
I have all my listings besides a select few set to free, 30 day returns. I can understand 30 days. What I can't understand is how eBay allows the buyer to use the item for 30 days, open a return case and then get an additional 3.5 weeks to return the item. Before COVID, it was 5 business days to return the item. Even as a buyer, that seemed fair. The buyer having the item in their possession for almost two months is absolutely ridiculous. I find it hard to believe most buyers require that much time to make a trip to the post office.
