How do I refund a payment received through Ping?
Answeredjust wondering, how do i go about refunding a payment recieved for a trade (that then falls thru) that has been made thru ping?
example:
lets say, the buyer won the auction, paid by ping straight away, then when moving forward a day or so, the trade cant really progress due to impossibles.....seller has no contact from the buyer when requesting bank account details to repay refund.....
how to refund someone when this occurs?

Antony, I use the Desktop site so I do mine by clicking the Payment details and refunds link in my sold items page.
Then once on the Payment details you have an Issue Refund link to click
Then another page with a box to change the amount of refund, or refund in full like this...
If you are using the new site, find the Help page instructions here...

hey thanks for that info Gary.
first time iv ever been paid with ping. i usually untick that payment option.
the funds have already been paid out from ping into my bank account so i guess ill have to transfer it back into my tradme account and go from there and hope that catches the ping refund to be made.
waiting for buyer whom ive given possible solutions, to contact me etc.
i like that the success fee repay gets sorted like that.
thanks for the help there.

When you do the refund your are given options on how to pay it, just like when you buy something with Ping. You can use your Ping balance or a card, or your bank acc. Basically, anything you have set up with Ping already.

ok i see. that helps.
i think the buyer used a credit card to buy, so im guessing that the refund will go back to that origin of payment.
thanks again for the info. all has been very helpful. as i was fretting a bit there a little like oh hell, how do i sort this ...
cheers

No worries. When you refund a buyer the money just goes in to their Ping account on Trademe not to whatever method they used to fund the transaction initially. They can either use that money to buy things, or they can withdraw it to their bank acc.

Gosh I didn't realise there had been a change in refunds, I've always had these paid into whichever card I used to pay Ping from. - I've never set up a Bank acct on TM and am not wanting to either atmo' - when did this change that the refund sits in your Ping account come in?

Ah yes, I see it does go back to the payment method used. Might have been thinking about Pay Now.
