Hello - 

Very straight forward dispute which Paypal has closed my case on as a seller and i am not able to appeal??

i bought a bike on ebay for my wife. the size was NOT presented on the listening so i messaged the buyer direct who then stated the size. 

i then purchase the bike, pick it up by collection ( i didnt double check the measurement) brought the bike home to find the size was incorrect to the sellers message. 

where do i stand? paypal have closed the case.....

There is no purchase protection on local pick-ups.

You may be reimbursed under PayPal Buyer Protection for a problem with a purchase only if all of the following requirements are met:

  1. Your purchase is an eligible purchase. Purchases of most goods and services are eligible (including travel tickets, intangible items such as rights of access to digital content and other licences), except for the following transactions:
    1. purchases of real estate (including, without limitation, residential property);

Edit:

 

Hmm, actually, what case did you file? Not as described? Or Not Received? If you file a SNAD, you may have a case to reopen.

Read my Edit in above post.

 

You'll might have to ship the bike back then with tracking number. Otherwise, it would be difficult for PayPal to know confirm you returned the item or not.

crazy - do not agree with that. you could be advertising all kinds of false information via ebay only to find its wrong/damaged/wrong size/ faulty/fake etc after getting it home even if you have picked it up yourself.
