What happens if eBay seller doesn’t refund?
When a buyer requests a return within the seller’s return policy, the seller must allow them to return the item for a full refund.

Yes. Ebay just ruled in my favor for an item not as described case. The thing to do is ask for photos in the case when you reply to it, and call ebay.
What if a buyer lies on eBay?
Buyer lied about item being damaged in order to file claim
Ignore or refuse the return, and eBay will refund the buyer out of your account, plus allow the buyer to keep the item, and you’ll get a defect for eBay having to step in and close the case.
Do buyers always win eBay disputes?
Since buyers win INAD cases 99% of the time and unless you have a message from the buyer confessing to lying about the item, there is no reason to believe that you would prevail should a case be opened.
Will eBay side with the seller?
Yes, eBay does side in the seller’s favor many more times than the boards show. The best way to handle a case is to make sure you know the rules and policies and make sure you always follow them. I do not ever give partial refunds.
Does opening a case on eBay hurt the seller?
Any case or return that is referred to eBay or PayPal for review and is found in your favor—or found to be no fault of the buyer or seller—won’t count against your performance rating. It won’t be counted as a defect and it won’t count toward your percentage of cases closed without you resolving them.
