What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ny
A few weeks ago an eBay seller from NC who I've recently purchased an item. The item did not live up to expectations, it was badly damaged so I opened an eBay case. Few minutes later the seller refunded the money (mind you the seller was supposed to wait so i can return the item first, or they would not be protected by paypal) so he said I better send the item back or will get sued. anyways I did not make it a big deal i sent it back with tracking, now he is saying that the item arrived in an "empty box" and that he will sue.
Im not familiar with whether he can do this. My question is if he does sue, I presume it is small court claim and if it is what is the procedure like? is it in NY or do I have to travel to NC? Also is he trying to scare me, what are the chances of the sue? Lastly if I sent it out with just delivery confirmation (no insurance) can he make that claim?
How can I show that there was exactly the phone inside. I'm guessing photographs, how much the box weighed, etc. please any help would be appreciated- thanks.
EDIT: since he did not follow EBAY procedures about me shipping item first then i get a refund, would they take that into consideration. Did I even have an "obligation" to send the item back? Because I feel like I now screwed myself over
