Ah! This kind of person on eBay! They think they are smart! Perhaps with some privilege? Perhaps with some "bypass" like when artists can jump the queue to the restaurant?

Damn ... they are true artists since they make it hard nowadays to trust common sellers.

Part of the skill of using any online market place is noticing the subtle clues in the listings that let you know which ones to stay well away from

From that guys email I expect there would have been something in the listing that should have set off alarm bells.

I don't think it's fair to complain about the cost of shipping. It's what you agreed to pay and it arrived. Shipping does vary from free to obviously being part of the price of the item. (In one reply you say you're not too bothered by that, but it is the title of the original post.)

As far as the rest of it goes, it's hard to say without seeing the original eBay listing. I find that "returns not accepted" often goes hand-in-hand with items that are listed as untested or for spares/repairs. Calling you a **** does sound unreasonable though (unless of course you we being a **** ;) ).

Anyway, the point is:

The goods arrived damaged, I'd like to return the goods.
(today email from them:) No, you can't.
Why?
Because the seller wrote "return not accepted" in his auction.
Claim closed!

eBay ....   :-BROKE

eBay can be so ... disappointing.

Putting "no returns accepted" should not protect sellers from shipping garbage or packing an item so badly it arrives in pieces - indeed in the UK it doesn't but you mentioned prices in USD so I assume this was an international sale - in which case there probably isn't all that much eBay can do.

In the UK no seller is exempt from the basic provisions of "as described" and "fit for purpose", no commercial seller can opt out of the distance selling regs (so 14 days any-reason return). Some try by not registering business accounts with eBay but it's usually obvious and you can complain to eBay about the misrepresentation (it's fraud so fairly serious).

Sometimes you have to explain it v_e_r_y__s_l_o_w_l_y to eBay though.

LOL this has to be the easiest case ever to win with the eBay dispute resolution!
