Wrong Item Return
We have received a return from a customer who sent us the wrong item back, this order did not have the prior refund applied so it wont allow me to open a safe-t claim. What is the best way to handle this issue, I sent the buyer a message that they sent the wrong item. I do not see anywhere to report a issue with a return to amazon or anywhere to file a claim. The item is fairly expensive so would hope to recover the funds without a refund to the customer.
side note: this is the 4th wrong item returned to us in 1 week!

In this case, Amazon is allowing you to issue the refund instead of the RFS system doing it.
If a different item was returned, let the buyer know the correct item must be returned and then the refund will be submitted.

Hi @Seller_BVHmvnt9foaXYand thanks for reaching out on the Seller Forums. I'm Danika from the Community Manager team.
I have two links that I hope may be helpful for you:
1. Manage Order, wrong item returned by buyers. From this help page:
"Sometimes buyers mistakenly return a different item than the one they purchased from you. If this happens, contact the buyer to do the following:
- Let them know that they may have accidentally returned the wrong item.
- Ask them if they would like you to return the item to them.
- Inform them that they can return the correct item for a refund."
2. Refunds FAQ. Find answers to many questions related to returns.
If these links aren't helpful, I'd suggest submitting a ticket to Seller Support for additional guidance.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thanks,
- Danika
