Even if the item was fully functional and you actually did break it, Paypal will side you with anyways.
Reasons like this are why I never sell anything on eBay.
Yeah I'll probably do that. Not a fan of returning anything. Just now I have to deal with packing up, shipping off, paying for the shipping and then wait for weeks to get the money refunded by ebay if I get it. Ugh.
Double check ebay policies, the seller pays the return shipping if you request a return, it is exceedingly unlikely you would not be refunded...
As long as it's not as described the seller chances are pays shipping. If it's pretty much any other reason you pay.
Are you sure? I assumed the buyer is always at risk of paying the shipping even if not described.
I thought so aswell until i read it: http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/return-item.html .
