Refund on Ebay MJ tickets?

Refund them what they have paid, I don't see why you even had to ask.

We encourage all buyers to go to their sellers first to request refunds. We believe that issuing full refunds is the right thing for sellers to do. They received payment for a show that cannot now go ahead, and should simply return that payment to the buyer in full.

Naw. They received payment for tickets to a show. A show that they have no control over. All parties understood this.

It would be harsh to brush off the buyer, but don't let Ebay guilt trip you.

He is under no obligation to refund. Why would he do so? :confused:

Hardly his fault he kicked the bucket.

Why should you have to refund? It's not your fault the concert cannot go ahead.

Refund them the ticket value, and keep the rest.

I love threads on forums like these that are honeytraps to show just how dishonest and how much you should trust certain members. Notebooks should be coming and and usernames should be written down.

I really don't understand why he should refund! It's not his fault MJ died, so why should he loose his profit? It's not like he's responsible? :confused:

I'd certainly not be giving any money back.

Dishonest? I wasn't aware he sold the tickets and guaranteed Jackson would be alive to perform.

Think before accusing.

I'd gladly deal with any of them, since they're of sound enough mind to evaluate the situation put forth by Ebay properly.

Because it's the decent thing to do

I'm sure you'd expect a refund if it was you in the buyers shoes

vanandjuanunited · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:08

Not his fault - would you be willing to refund if the buyer changed their minds??
I'd be reluctant to repay.

No, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't buy a telephone and then demand a refund because BT stopped the line...

I think profiteering from something like this would be a little selfish and you don't strike me as that sort of guy, so sure you will do the right thing and refund. Its what I would do and its pleasing to see lots of places like the official ticket channels and eBay taking a very pro active approach to giving refunds (in full)...

Burned_Alive · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:12

If the full amount is available through ebay, then why bother?

You get to keep the profit and the buyer gets a full refund, win-win.

If ebay question it, then just plead poverty.

Might as well make use of the system in these exceptional circumstances, it'll make up for it when you get screwed over by them some time in the future.

G-MAN2004 · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:16

Like above, WHY would you refund, if eBay say they will refund anyway? Free money.

SkeeterUK · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:18

Dont refund, u sold the tickets while they were good, the seller cant be held responcible for the death of the man and the cancelled gig. They lost there tickets and money but thats what happens sometimes.

Dr House · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:25

I think the fair thing to do is Refund the face value + half of the profit you made.

CliffyBiro · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:28

If you get guilted into anything, I would only refund the profit.

NOT the ticket value.

I wouldn't refund anything at all though.
