Magic Johnson 2014 National Panini Green Crusade Refractor 5 Ultra RARE | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magic-Johnson-2014-National-Panini-Green-Crusade-Refractor-5-Ultra-Rare-/321698986469?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4ae6c0f9e5)
I bought this card back in March from a seller in Australia. I thought it was a green /5 crusade with a bad picture. It was a blue/yellow crusade from the national card summit. I requested a return since the card was not the green /5 version, as the title said it was. The seller did not want to refund the money until I pointed out that he schilled up the card in the original auction. He offered me a second chance option at my high bid and said no. eBay sent me the address to return it to so I paid $21 signature confirmation to send it back. That was May 3. Tracking shows it got to Melbourne on the 12th and that was the last update. Today, the seller opened a case against me as he has not gotten the card back. I showed him the tracking number and he asks me the address I sent it to. He is no longer living at the address I sent it to so I expect the card is coming back to me. Do I pursue a refund on shipping it back since the address eBay gave me was not his current address? Is that the seller's issue? It will be mid June before this is straightened out. Thank you for you insight.

Show ebay you shipped it back and the seller refused to sign for it. The seller should have provided the correct address if he truly moved, which I doubt. Ebay will side with you and the card may or may not make it back to you from my experience with this in the past. If you're lucky you will get the card and your money back, and don't feel sorry for the seller, he knows what he is doing.

Do I call ebay with this? I could not respond to the message about the case that the seller opened on ebay. Ebay said it will make a decision on the case in 48 hours.

I would call.. and I would call until you find a representative that knows something. It can take several calls sometimes.

Update: the card arrived in LA so it is coming back to me. How does a shipping refund work on eBay? The seller did not update his address or he gave me the wrong one on purpose so I am out the initial cost of the card and $21 shipping. Does anyone have experience with that on eBay?
