An eBay seller says a return came back as a box of shredded paper, the buyer was refunded, and the appeal failed

The seller sold a replacement part for a carpet cleaning machine. By the seller's account, the return parcel held only shredded paper, yet the buyer still got a refund. The seller appealed, never got the part back, and says the case was decided in the buyer's favor anyway.

“Buyer sent back shredded paper and I get nothing”
