Model Train Journal

I bought a slot car on eBay, most everyone reading the ad would think it was a complete car, it was just the body. A careful reading and you realize it’s just the body. I know to read the ad’s carefully and any question move on. But this time I slipped up.
The guy was kind of a wise acre about it but is allowing me to return the body. The way eBay works it they provide a shipping label you print it and shipping back is free and I think you can even mail it from your mailbox.
Trouble is I don’t have a printer so I have to go to the post office and pay postage. And then hope he notifies eBay that he got it and to refund me.
A question, it looks like you need special paper to print this eBay shipping label?

NO, but you will need a printer which you state you don't have.
PO will supply all the clear tape you need to affix the label if you ask.
Other options may be available.
Would it be cheaper to keep the part(s)?
Good luck on an acceptable resolution.

Be sure you have the TRACKING option on your package. That will provide proof the item was returned.

I'm the OP, time went by and eBay has a clever way of giving you the endless runaround where you spend a lot of time and get nothing done. I finally found how to email customer service and briefly explained with a tracking # and order # and I got a email that eBay is fully refunding me.

Glad to hear things worked out!
