What is the name of your state? Minnesota
I bought a cell phone on eBay. The battery was bad, something the seller didn't mention. The seller wouldn't take it back, so I opened a case with eBay. eBay found in my favor and told me to return the phone. They closed the case early. I appealed and eBay admitted their mistake and told me they would issue a refund. When I didn't get the refund, I contacted them and was told another department had reversed the decision and I would not receive a refund. They did not say the representative that initially promised a refund was not authorized to do so, just that someone else reversed the decision.
Are they allowed to deny a promised refund or are they bound by their initial decision?
Thank you in advance.
