What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Georgia
I live in Georgia, buyer lives in California. I sold a designer wedding dress on ebay, I represented it accurately and honestly. Answered all questions quickly and provided pictures. As a first time seller I did not think (stupid I know) to put the return policy in the actual ebay item description, it is an auction after all so I assumed all sales were final. The auction closed, payment was received and I shipped the dress. One month later the buyer has asked for a refund. I explained that the dress was final sale and that I was not accepting returns. The buyer ignored this, did not respond, and instead sent the gown back to me. My husband accepted delivery so now I have the buyer's money and the goods (gown) back in my possession. At this point, I have passed on other buyers, spent $ on ebay and paypal fees, shipping, etc. She has tried the gown on so I would also have to pay for it to be cleaned again...I do not want to refund the money, what is my legal obligation? Should I return HER dress to her and hope that she accepts delivery? It is her property after all...
