Community Q&A

QuestionWhat address do I use to return an item to eBay? I have been waiting a week for a response.Community AnswerYou don't send an item to eBay, you send it back to the seller. This has to be negotiated directly with the seller. Contact them and let them know the reason you are requesting a return. Depending on the seller's policy, you may or may not be able to get your money back, and may have to pay for return shipping.
-
QuestionIs there a direct email address used for eBay aside from their website contact page?Community AnswerNo, that is the only way to email eBay.
-
QuestionHow do I find a reliable music instrument seller on eBay?Community AnswerI suggest you go about that the same way as any other purchase. Check the seller's feedback rating to make sure they are active and have no negative feedback within the last 6 months. Other than that, I'm not sure what you can do without inspecting an item in person.
