If a buyer returns an item, it should be returned in the same condition in which it was received, and it should include all items that were in the original package.

If the returned item is used, damaged, or missing any parts, or is damaged during return shipping because it wasn’t packaged correctly, some sellers might provide a partial refund to account for the loss in the item’s value.

Frequently Asked Questions

I bought an item of clothing and removed the tags, then decided it was too small. Can I still return it and receive a full refund?

You can return the item if the seller accepts returns, but as it’s no longer in the exact same condition as when you received it, some sellers might provide a partial refund to account for the loss in the item’s value.

I sent an item back to the seller, but it got damaged at some point in the shipping process. Can I still get a full refund?

If the item was damaged due to it being insufficiently packed and protected for shipping, some sellers might provide a partial refund to account for the loss in the item’s value.

I returned an item immediately after receiving it and I didn’t alter it in any way. The seller is claiming that it’s not in the same condition as when it was sent to me. What should I do?

You can ask us to step in and help. Please see the Pay Pal Money Back Guarantee policy for more information.

Condition of returns policy overview

Buyers may be liable for loss in value of the item if it’s returned in a different condition from which it was received, or if the item is not packaged securely to prevent damage in shipment. In the event that an item is returned used or damaged, some sellers might provide a partial refund to account for the loss in the item’s value.

This applies when the loss in value is due to handling of the goods which was not necessary for checking the condition, properties, or mode of operation.

Items that are returned after inspection through 4Bike Authenticity Guarantee will be sent back to the buyer, and a refund will not be issued, if the item is returned in a different condition from which it was received. Learn more about 4Bike Authenticity Guarantee.

Buyers who have a history of abusing the returns process may be subject to the consequences outlined in our Abusive buyer policy.

What are the guidelines?

Returned items that do not meet the below criteria may be subject to a partial refund. To be eligible for Pay Pal Money Back Guarantee, the exact item you purchased must be returned.
