Refunding a Purchase Made during eBay Sale/Promotion, Get Full Value Back?

BrewerHaHa on 06/10/2017 - 12:59

Hi everyone,

I decided to pick up the Dell gaming desktop during the 20% off eBay sale which costed $1.2k reduced from $1.5k. I just got an email saying that it will take some extra time to fulfil the order and that I would have to wait an extra 10 days. They said I'm free to wait and apologised or offered a refund.

I originally chose to purchase the desktop as it was sold at around cost price. If I choose to refund, will I get $1.5k back or will I get $1.2k? Looking at the order details, it says the paid price was $1.5k which is why I think a refund might be $1.5k. Has anyone else had experience refunding sale items from these kinds of promotions in the past?

Cheers

    If they process the refund through ebay or paypal, you will get $1.2k, from my experience anyway.

      Cool. Wanted to keep the order but if I could have gotten a bit of extra cash, I would have liked to upgrade it a bit.

        In your case, rather refund, it's better to wait or upgrade to whichever you want as from seller point of view you pay $1500. If refund via PayPal it would be $1200.

          I did need a computer soon and I thought it would be arriving on Tuesday. I've just taken a look at Coffee CPUs and some of them are already sold out! I don't think I'm really that keen on waiting for a restock so I'll just wait the 10 extra days.

          @BrewerHaHa: Try to get some form of compensation for the wait, like an m2 Disk, or usb3 dongle or Modem/router/AP. They normally prefer to keep buyers happy with some small items

        If you contact the store they might give you store credit, which would work better for you if you were going to upgrade with the same store

    Really?

    You are refunded $1.5k, with $300 then deducted to pay back Ebay. Because the retailer receives the $1.5k before fees.

      Thanks plmko. Keeping it but wish I knew about intel Coffee coming out then maybe I would have been more patient. Oh well, still happy

    Myer has closed this loophole if you return in store. they have ipads to process ebay/online purchases.

      I returned my ipad at the counter and re bought using their loyalty card a few months ago, maybe depends who you approach.

      • PissLUR on 06/10/2017 - 13:39

        they only recently brought the ipads to every stores.

    Yea, like others have said. If you are refunded via ebay/paypal, you will get refunded what you originally paid for it, ie. $1.2k. If you get store credit or refunded via any other means, you will be refunded the order price, which is $1.5k.

    Super Cheap hasn't closed the loophole.

    Did you stop for two seconds to think about it before you posted this? You thought that somehow you could make $300 and that no one would notice or it wouldn't be tracked? How long would a business stay in business if this loophole actually worked

    • BrewerHaHa on 06/10/2017 - 13:38

      I did, but thought I would ask anyway. It can't hurt to ask.
      2jzzzz has said that SCA still hasn't closed their loophole.

      • Quantumcat on 06/10/2017 - 13:41

        What's the SCA loophole?

      I got all upset when I got a refund for something bought on ebay. There was a 15% ebay tax on it, on my refund. Very upset.
      Fact was that I didn't remember I bought the item during a 15% special. Oh My, glad I was polite on the phone, and the person on the other side didn't see my face when I realized my mistake.
