So they are required to tell you everything they do and why?

Notice you refused to answer my question.

I bet if tge situation were flipped and you were involved ypu would sing a different tune.

You buy an item have to return it the return gets misdelivered like here should ebay refuse a refund? I guarantee if you were the buyer you would expect a refund regardless?
:
It's like cancellations ebay punishes sellers even for legitimate reasons and you are fine with that, and argue that ebay allowing buyers to cancel with no real repercussions is their choice. It's not different:.

If there is any chance of ebay covering it then you should explore it. Do they have to no but there is also a chance the usps may deny any claims.
