HOW OUR RETURN POLICY CAME TO BE

We are proud to be able to say that since we brought our collection online in October 2016, we have rehomed over 800 items, and have not had a single genuinely dissatisfied client request a refund.

The only times we have had a refund request have been strictly from buyers who were attempting to scam and con their way into getting both the product and their money back, and then some.

When we first began offering our Collection online 2 years ago, we did not have any set return policy, or any set policies for that matter, and for months, we never had any need for rules and policies.

In our 2 years offering our Collection on eBay, we had 100% feedback. Our customers were all hppy, earning our place as a “Recommended Seller”, and varying between a “Top Rated Seller” and a “Power Seller”, depending on shipping times. Not one person requested a refund due to dissatisfaction, and there was not a single instance where any rules or policies were needed.

That is, until, we encountered our first swindler, attempting to threaten, intimidate, and extort us.

All together, there have been 5 swindlers – scammers that tried everything they could to have both their item(s) as well as their money back too. 6 cases altogether, but two of those cases were the same person who had created two separate false identities.

Thus, The Haunted Hive's Policies have been a collective work in progress; being created and evolving out of defensive necessity.

Each experience with these 5 swindlers taught us a hard lesson in the malevolent school of con artistry – lessons about intimidation, extortion, fraud, and manipulation; each lesson forcing our policies to grow and evolve to cover all the methods we are aware of – from experience as a target – which dishonest individuals use in attempts of having both the item, and their money back, for example:
  • Fraudulently claiming their minor purchased without permission, or some other claim, and filing an “Unauthorized charge” aka Chargeback, then Sending back an empty package, or package with a different item in it.
  • Using multiple accounts & imaginary identities to manipulate and con us.
  • Demand we send them money for rent, customs fees, Bills etc, threatening to leave negative feedback if we don't comply, and when we respectfully declined, they requested a return via Ebay. When Ebay denied the return, they went to PayPal to claim “Item not received”.
  • Using the poor tracking practices of certain international carriers to their advantage to fraudulently claim “Item not received” even though there's documented proof they received it, including their Positive experiences with it.
  • Expecting miraculous events to occur literally within less than 24 hours yet still wanting to keep the item and receive a refund as well.


Except for those 5 deceitful individuals, there has never been any need to enforce or reference any policies with any customer of pure intentions.

Now, we are in no way implying nor do we assume, that if you request a return, that you automatically must be swindler #6. If ever there is a true, genuine cause for a return, if we make an error, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
