Getting a Partial Refund on an eBay Purchase

[Tere1071]

Yes, he made the offer and I accepted it. The only concern was that the refund would be sent to my PayPal account which would be outside eBay's protection, or at least that's my assumption. The seller is on the level, but by sending it out through USPS where I would have to pay the initial postage cost, which the seller will reimburse, what other protection would I have outside of purchasing extra insurance?

Thank you.

If you want to stay within the eBay protection your only recourse is to have the entire sale refunded. If you trust the seller, and it sounds like you do. Then you will have to complete any transactions outside of the eBay system.

Any additional insurance will be on you and the seller to cover the partial deal.

Phil- Here is my ebay message explaining my partial refund. I would think yours would be the same. Note that although I agreed with the seller to return the card, ebay is not requiring it. So the seller is the one without protection, I got my refund so I am good.
