Just a month ago, I bought a Legend of Zelda game for the Wii from this guy on Ebay. Later, I found it didn't work at a certain part and returned it. Before returning it, the guy said that he would reimburse me for the shipping charges ("[if] you want return shipping and [include] the price we will reimburse you for it."). When I went to return it, I had to pay for both the shipping package and the shipping costs which amounted to $13.98. I told him this and yet later he only reimbursed me for $4.00, presumably what he thought was the price of the shipping only. Should he reimburse me for the remainder of the cost or was it my fault to not package it myself?

I think since having it packaged rather than packing it yourself and sending it, that is on you.

In my opinion, he only owes you for the shipping cost. Having it packaged was your choice, there for he is not responsible for that. However, if the professional packaging was required for the return then yes, he would be responsible for that charge as well.
Hope this helped!

You can refer it to eBay disputes and if he is a reputable dealer, he will probably pay you to shut you up, but, you are being a bit unreasonable by not returning it the same way it was shipped. Definitely your fault on this one.

He only had to pay the shipping charge, not pay for the box you put it in.
I would have returned it in the same box I received it in, blocking out the other lettering and putting on my own label.

He should reimburse you for the same price he charged you to ship it to you. If you paid more that's your fault. You should have sent it back in the same box you got it in. If you chose to wrap it in Velvet would you expect him to pay that to?

It's your fault for dealing with the Nazis at Ebay in the first place. Ebay is the worst with customer care... I am boycotting them because they have become an ugly corporate fascist monster.

Yeah... I think you should've packaged it yourself, since he indeed said that he would pay for the shipping [only].
