Situation:
I sold a set of 4 drink glasses on EBAY. These glasses are no longer made by the company. I state in the listing that I am not responsible for shipping damage so buy insurance for $1.70. I also state that I do not allow returns.
so guess what:
Someone bought the glasses and the insurance, I shipped them, one got broken. The post office refunded 1/4 of the purchase price to the buyer.
Now the buyer says they really needed the set of 4 (I don't blame them) and have no use for 3 glasses. They want to return the glasses.
I am currently standing my ground on my policies but told them I am trying to work with them and pointed them toward a website that sells singles. They are not too interested in that route.
I am standing my ground on principle but I could allow them to return the glasses and I'd still be a few dollars ahead. I also believe I could sell the remaining glasses as singles and still come out ahead. Non-EBAY sites sell these as singles for about half of what I sold the entire set for.
What would you do?
