Is there like a statute of limitations for refunds?
What's to prevent anyone to ask for their money back (PayPal), let's say 3 days or 1 week, or 1 month, or 1 year after the transaction?

There's a window on PayPal as to when you can request a refund (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/article/?solutionId=FAQ406&topicID=REFUNDS_CA&m=TCI). Window is 60 days after your purchase and then you can't ask for refunds. The window for opening a dispute (i.e you didn't get the product you thought you bought) is 45 days. There's no controls like that on GeekHack.

If there are no statute of limitations and controls on Geekhack, then can I defer to PayPal rules, or is it just ruled by GH's Buyer Beware rule?
Personally if I sell someone something and it arrives and is in working order I see no reason they should ask for a refund just because they don't like it etc.

But what about the off chance that they do?
What if they break something after receiving an item, and then say that it's it's not working, and then ask for a refund?
What can I do in that situation?

paypal rules would be as long as he returns the item to you, you need to refund him.
This is an issue with all goods sold via PayPal. You could insist that everyone send money as a gift, but a buyer could still initiate a chargeback by paying with a credit card. As a seller, you ultimately have to trust in the goodness of humanity to some degree.

Even if the buyer breaks something and reports it falsely as broken or otherwise?
In which case, I would have to refund him, on top of having a broken item.

only way to guarantee no funny business is deal in person for cash.
Every other option will always result in some form of possible scam.

I did an issue once, sold a very nice and much loved key set to what I call a 'zero poster' and somehow two stems cracked/seperated a few weeks after they received the caps....of course this was after they admitted they tried orings...they didnt' neccesarily ask for a refund but they could have and they could have publicly raised an issue with me and then it is one persons word against another.
I didn't have to help them but I got them replacement caps (thanks to some awesome GB organizers who went above and beyond) because I do think it is a good idea to have a good reputation and to try to help people, but that can lead people to take advantage of others sadly.This is an issue with all goods sold via PayPal.

^^ basically this, I try to sell to people are here, who participate. I'm always cautious when someone joined the same day they want to drop $$$$ on my stuff.
I backed out on a deal recently. Jumped real fast then regretted it. It was about twenty minutes later I asked the guy if I could back out. Gave him the option to say no. Felt like a jerk but it happens. He was polite about it. I did plenty of deals here back in the day. So I don't think it's that big of a deal.
My situation is I have money to buy one set. Jumped on a set real quick because I have been stalking to classifieds for a week. Then realized I got impatient. But yeah if he would have said he wasn't cool with it because I already paid I would have been fine with that.I backed out on a deal recently. Jumped real fast then regretted it.

All depends on how you say, honestly. If you're asking something reasonable, and you're being polite and giving the other guy the option to back out, I see no problem with it. If you're demanding a refund, and talking about better deals that obviously don't exist, it would certainly leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Honestly, once the money has changed hands IMO it's on the person who bought the product without doing research. These are classifieds, there is no price match guarantee. If said person is unhappy with their purchase, they can flip it for what they paid. I would always be as reasonable as possible, but if something is in the mail then as far as I'm concerned the transaction is done and you have to live with the buyer's remorse.I agree once its in the mail its a done deal.
buyer remorse sucks, thats why stores have fast checkout lines, GET THEIR MONEY! computer store i worked for years ago in ny had superfast cashiers. we were also allowed to "cut" the lines if we walked a customer to the next cashier, cuz **** it we worked on commission and wanted to make sure this computer sale went through before the customer thought more. (thinking customers are annoying, at least to salesmen) unfortunately our payment processors were pretty stringent, unless it was amex, you'd probably have to talk on the phone with your credit card company (cashiers would call and hand the phone over).
also having an ebay store sucks, ESPECIALLY ebay where idiots bid and back out, **** them.
Wait, you're allowed to back out AFTER winning a bid on Ebay? I thought you were obligated to pay no matter what.You're not allowed to, but what are they going to do? Ebay its self doesn't have your payment information. Its like they say;
They can do all they like to sellers because there will always be someone to sell to the market, they need to keep the buyers there, to create the market.Thus they side with the buyers so much.
tons of ppl back out on ebay, i think you get like 2 or 3 back outs (and it goes to the next highest bidder) and they flag your account.
just look up all those stupid bids on like old nintendo ****
