Refund on Ebay MJ tickets?

tbf if it was me or ebay giving the buyer £200 (which is how i've interpreted the previously quoted ebay email) i'd choose ebay, they can probably afford it more than I could! If me keeping £200 of the buyers money meant them loosing it I'd obviously give it back, but if ebay were going to give them it anyway I'd keep the money. fair imo

I've tryed to get money back from paypal before, the words totally worthless comes to mind, if the seller has taken the money out of his account and remove his debit and credit card they can do FA to get the money back.

That hasn't been the case since the end of last year. Now they will refund regardless of funds in the sellers account and pursue the seller for the balance via debt collectors (if the person does not pay up on demand).

This is exactly what they are going to do with these MJ tickets too. Ebay are not going to take a loss on this themselves. Sure they will refund, but they will then chase up the sellers for that money. If you think otherwise then you are sadly mistaken.
 
Trust is nothing to do with it.

The seller is only going to get the value of the tickets back. Ebay can not gurantee everyone will get their money back, for one its not their style and two how the hell they going to enforce it?

Ideally, nobody should lose out. But realistically the tickets are not his responsibility anymore. He should go for a refund the official way.
 
I wouldn't refund them.

In this post eBay clearly say that buyers will get a full refund, anyway.

I'm betting many people will ask the seller for a refund, and claim another from eBay :o

From reading that, eBay have said THEY will refund the buyers of any tickets in full.

I honestly do not see why you should refund, did your'e auction say you would refund if anything untowards happened? Did you state no refunds?

IMO you sold the buyer x amount of tickets for a show, you have cash the buyer has his tickets, auction complete. You didn't sell him/her the show did you.

I honestly cannot stand people that rape ticket agents and then resell to the actual fans at retardedly inflated prices, however as long as your auction didnt see "Will refund if artist dies/cancels" then I see you in no position to offer a refund. eBay have pulicised that they "think" all buyers should be refunded... let eBay refund em.

Just saw this too, the seeler has completed the auction correctly as above. eBay are teh ones stating that all buyers will receive a refund, unless a buyer stated refunds were applicable if anything happened in their auction description then they have abided by eBays T+Cs. If eBay then want to go giving money back to people, that's upto them.

As for,

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)...

He's not profiteering from MJs death, he was profiteering as a lot of people do from the actual ticket sales, whilst as above I completely disagree with this and think ticket sales should be a more policed to prevent people doing this. At the end of the day eBay offered this "full refund" without consulting any of the sellers.

EDIT - To OP, I just reread opening post, sorry for comparing you to a ticket tout ;) honest sale, makes a change on tickets tbh lol

Im still waiting for a refund from See Tickets, its been over 2 weeks now and they say it could take another 4.

I can see this being a terribly long drawn saga.
 
I did this also, bought 4 tickets and sold 2 on the Bay.
I offered the person a full refund, or the souvenir tickets.
This was because the email I received from Ebay only mentioned that I would get a refund of all selling fees, etc if I refunded the said person. It didn't mention anywhere, that they would refund the buyer!

The buyer wanted the souvenir tickets anyway.

There is a small problem with the refund process anyway.
If the transaction is over 60 days old, then you cannot refund via Paypal and have to transfer money or Paypal gift it. This means that either the seller or the buyer will still lose out in Paypal fees!
 
Why did you tout the others? Touting is for scumbags. You should give all the money back and never tout again!
 
If that was directed at me, then read my post again!
I did offer a full refund, the buyer specifically wanted the souvenir tickets.
I never forced anyone to pay over the odds for the tickets.
If they hadn't sold, then I would have asked friends to come with us.


And as for the scumbag quote:rolleyes:
