Hi,

so I sold a textbook to a person on Amazon back in December. Today I get a request for a refund. They are trying to say they thought it was the workbook AND textbook. When there is no mistake that it is the workbook only. I think she used it for her class already and wants her money back. What is going to happen in this situation if I refuse? Or what are my options? Here is the book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1111828857

I am looking back at the invoice and she ordered December 1st, and is now asking for a refund. I sent her a message and said that the listing, and even the book itself says exactly what it is. And I asked her why she waiting so long to ask for a refund. People on Amazon have been pulling scams like this lately I hear it from people that sell on their often. They buy an item use it then ask for a refund and Amazon sides with them no questions asked. Has anyone here taken a class for winter session? Could you tell me when your semester started and ended? Over here We start much later than people all over the country. Usually a month later.

Also I'd appreciate getting responses from people that have been in the situation or have experience with Amazon, I don't want people taking guesses. Thanks
 
I have not had any problems with Amazon but I just was wondering how she could expect to get anything from you if your ad clearly states what was for sale?

Do it like the college bookstores, refund at like 10% of the purchase price.
 
i'd pretty much tell her to bite me

but I've never sold or bought with/thru personal ads on amazon

pretty crappy and annoying situation. let us know what happens
 
If she is disputing what the ad said compared to what was received, and you still have a copy of the listing that shows that you are in the right then I would dispute her claim with amazon. I don't know if she is really trying to scam you since most winter term classes are still usually 5-6 weeks long and it doesn't seem like there is enough time for a full class when you consider what time she would have received it. I think that the more likely scenario is that either she's an idiot and didn't pay attention to what she ordered or the class requirements changes and she realized that she needed something different. Either way she's trying to pawn her mistake off on you. I think that you should try to prove to amazon's dispute department that your ad was truthful and accurate and hope they agree with you.
