xLoGiK1 0 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Like the title states: I am currently in the works of getting a refund with a TD on this forum. Long story short, getting the refund because I simply need that money for more important things and will purchase the watch at a later date. So the question is, should I be the one eating the fees as well when trying to get the money I paid refunded back to me? I already paid the fee when sending the money to the TD via Western Union. What do you guys think? Edited October 11, 2014 by xLoGiK1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalMickey 179 Posted October 11, 2014 The fee was paid to WU, not the TD. The TD is doing you a favour by giving a refund and should only have to return the amount s/he received from you. Especially when it is your call to have the refund and not their fault. Eat the fees, take it as a lesson learned, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daywatch 4 Posted October 11, 2014 Hi, this is a really simple no-brainer: You eat the fees. Later in the game You´ll pay by PP and don´t have that issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MetalMickey 179 Posted October 11, 2014 In the UK it is 4%+20p. Check on PayPal.com. Google is your friend ;-) Edit - about 2.9% www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/article/?solutionId=FAQ690&m=HTQ Think of the fee as the tax for messing the TD around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted October 11, 2014 You sent money for a piece of wrist frippery THEN discovered you cant afford it and want your money back 'tis not the fees for the refund you should worry about but rather those of your psychiatric care . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys think? I'm not sure why you're bothering posting this question? The fact that you're getting a refund in the first place is incredible. Take the money and run! This isn't Sears where you can just return stuff for arbitrary reasons; it's black market merchandise being sourced from halfway across the world from suppliers we've never met!!!

Batespcm 1 Posted October 11, 2014 So the TD is doing you a favour, and you expect the TD to be out of pocket for doing it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rare 0 Posted October 11, 2014 Oh you want refund, here have some more money right out of td pocket! If you dont want to have fees, there is the possibility to book a travel, if you are nice the td might give you a tour also... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phizzy 0 Posted October 11, 2014 Yes, suck it up buddy...just be thankful you ordered from a TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyRock 0 Posted October 12, 2014 I'm concerned with why you're even asking this question. 1). You changed your mind. (try buying cocaine from a drug dealer, then change your mind. Cocaine = Reps. Both illegal and sever prison time or death in China) 2). You took the time to purchase something illegal with money you can't afford to part with. 3). The only person that made a mistake in this whole process is you. You eat the fees, with a smile and enjoy it. (You're responsible for sending fees, and return fees because the TD didn't change his mind, YOU did) Take a good long look in the bathroom mirror brother. I'm not being rude or mean, I'm being serious. From one human being to another, remember to think before you act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UmpaHimself 222 Posted October 12, 2014 So you bought a watch you couldn't afford, then asked for your money back and expect the seller to cover the fees for being jerked around... This isn't Macy's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xLoGiK1 0 Posted October 12, 2014 Lol. It was just a simple question. I wasn't bitching about anything. Just wanted some input since it was my first attempt at buying a rep. And since others are experienced, I wanted some insight. I have no problem eating the fees. Was just curious... Carry on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawbaws 91 Posted October 12, 2014 Td should deduct the fee for sending it back to you, a fee for their time and less any downward fluctuation due to any of their own currency changes. Count yourself lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,437 Posted October 12, 2014 Honestly, you don't actually qualify for a refund at all - you're not buying from Marks and Spencer! I don't know which TD it is but they deserve praise for going beyond what is normally expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted October 12, 2014 Agreed- eat the fees and a big gold star to the TD for the refund. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DR3M3L 4 Posted October 12, 2014 So.... What's a better investment then watches? Lottery tickets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK01 0 Posted October 12, 2014 Realistically the TD go through alot to do their best to get us what we want. If you decide you need a refund that is fine. And actually makes things worse for the TD because they can't just take the watch back to the factory. They use their own $$ to buy the watch you requested. So eat the fees and keep in good health. And try to lay out your priorities next time unless it was an unexpected emergency fund type deal (we all human) stuff changes . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
