Write a letter disputing who pays for returning a faulty item. Inputs I will provide: seller [SELLER_NAME], item [ITEM_DETAILS], fault [FAULT], return policy [RETURN_POLICY], cost [RETURN_COST].

The draft must argue the item is faulty and ask for a prepaid label. Explain that the item is faulty, quote the return policy, say why the seller should pay for the return, and ask for a prepaid label or reimbursement. Attach photos or videos of the fault.

What to collect first: the listing's return terms, the reason for return, the shipping receipt, and the seller's refusal to cover it. What I can realistically request: reimbursement of return shipping because the item was faulty or misdescribed. The usual pushback: "Buyers pay for returns." Answer by explaining the item's defect and asking them to apply the defect policy.

Give me the letter for the return shipping cost dispute three ways: firm, neutral, and final notice, about 180 to 280 words each with the same facts throughout. Deliver the letter along with a short cover note, around 60 words, plus an escalation ladder for the case where I am ignored (seller, then platform), plus a proof checklist (fault proof), and one delivery tip. Email it as a PDF attachment, and archive the thread and any automatic reply and do not delete any reply.

None of this is legal advice, so point me to a local advice service if the sum or the risk is large. Write the letter in the first person as myself, never as an attorney, and skip any letterhead I did not give you. Pause for any blank fact before you write and call out anything I could not show if challenged. Avoid reciting rules from memory, including time limits; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and tell me to verify the exact law with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. Stay calm, plain and courteous, threatening nothing unlawful, and give the cut-off I enter in [DEADLINE].
