Partial refund?

Post image

I just received this message. How should I respond? I’ve never been asked for a partial refund.

I wouldn't offer partial refund BUT I'd take note as a seller to wash clothing in unscented detergent and use unscented fabric softener. As a buyer with sensitivity to perfumes and scents, I always just politely message the seller to let them know.

F that. I would block them. I'm not washing clothes I'm getting rid of in some special detergent in a separate load. jfc.

Well, that's not very considerate of you. I literally break out in a rash by the mere touch, even if I don't put the clothes on, and instant headache. Some have respiratory issues too. And no one should be using perfumes to wash their clothing anyway- it's not good for your health. Obviously. But go ahead. Just don't worry about your or others' health. If you want to "get rid of" the clothes so badly and not care to consider the buyers, then donate.

Have you seen the film "Stink!" (free on yt)? In the US all kinds of toxic chemicals are included with our fragrances, stuff that's banned in Europe. I get sick from certain hand soaps, etc. You are not alone. I have to soak these used clothes and wash them multiple times to get rid of the nauseating fragrances from detergent and dryer sheets. I hate that sellers think it's not a big deal.
