It's unclear what happened but eBay handle the payments and the adjudication process, eBay may have well have acted outside their terms and conditions.

Without the finer details of why the buyer was refunded without returning the goods it's hard to say.

Usually the buyer is told to keep the item if they claim it's not as described and the seller doesn't deal with the return, although that situation wouldn't give the seller much of a claim against eBay.

2019 accounts show a profit of £23 million.

eBay UK absolutely DO NOT handle payments.

eBay Europe Sarl do, and they are not the ones the OP has taken to court.

eBay Commerce UK (the ones the OP transacted with) absolutely do not show profits of £23 million in 2019, are you making this up as you go along? They showed a profit of £1962.

Please, go back to copying and pasting the Consumer Rights Act. You're completely out of your depth everywhere else.

EBAY COMMERCE UK LTD isn't the company the T&Cs state you are contracting with, EBAY (UK) LIMITEDis.

You are indeed correct thateBay Europe Sarlhandle payments, my mistake and I'm always happy to be corrected, howeverEBAY COMMERCE UK LTD is the company taking over payments for items sold on eBay from the 11th of Oct 2021.

https://pages.ebay.co.uk/payment/2.0/terms.html

ECUK is replacing eBay Sarl as the Responsible Payment Entity for the sale of items listed on ebay.co.uk. For most sellers this change is effective October 11, 2021.

Ah a win for Brexit!

Which part do people not understand. The court has made the decision in my favour.. Ebay owe me the money not the 3rd Party. ebay took the money from me without any proof of receipt/return its quite simple

I have issued the warrant to ebay UK headquarters.. its quite simple..

That may be so but they still exist as an entity in the UK, one which generates a profit each year so must have cash somewhere, presumably in a bank or similar.

Er like eBay UK headquarters?

eBay UK are absolutely the ones at fault. The have received all relevant correspondence from the court. They failed to respond so the judgement has been found in my favour. I am at the stage of warrant issue not at the stage of arguing who is responsible for the money. eBay had every chance to reply to my claim (via emails to customer service, telephone calls and court summons. Because eBay UK have failed to respond at every given chance they are indeed responsible for the monies owed. Warrant has been issued to eBay UK Ltd, they now have to pay me...

They have naff all if you look at the financial reports, and if the OP rattles their cage they'll just get the case set aside. They owe the OP nothing, the OP sued the wrong entity.

OP has won the case in court. If eBay want to reopen it, they will have to pay the court a fee to do so, which is likely to cost more than the OP is claiming.If there aren't any assets to seize, then the OP could ask for a winding up order against the company. If it has no assets to pay its debts, it must be bankrupt.

OP hasn't won. Ebay haven't defended the claim. A winding up petition will cost in excess of £1k to even issue.

Er I have won.. that is the whole point.. Also eBay UK LTD revenue for 2020 was 1.3 million.. plenty of assets there for me to grab..

Your claim should have been against the buyer, not eBay.

I wonder if you could expand on why you think this. It is eBay who have taken the money from the OP and passed it onto the buyer.

Because they're a middle man. If you use your debit card and the buyer runs off with your money, you legally have consumer rights against the buyer, not the bank, or their merchant provider.

This is basic level stuff here.

Ebay are not the middle man when they decide to refund the buyer without returning the goods to me.. they have become responsible for the goods. If I dont get my goods back.. eBay owe me. It is not my problem the seller did not return the item. I gave them the postage and details to return the item. I told eBay the item had not been returned as the buyer did not send the item back.. eBay took the money off me.. so my dispute is with them..

Good luck in getting your money from eBay. I hope you do, so please get us posted.

Personally I would have gone after the buyer as they have an item they have not paid for.

Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of

English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
