[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1326951, member: 27832"]Handling returns entails significant expense. If you say you accept returns, you're effectively offering to sell coins on approval. That's very different from selling them (in good faith) with a "no returns" policy, and only accepting returns if there's a not-as-described claim. It's particularly a problem for raw coins -- verifying that the coin you got back is the same as the one you sent out, and hasn't been damaged, adds even more time and risk to the process. Yes, an unscrupulous buyer can always claim not-as-described, and eBay will likely side with them, but I'd expect that this happens a lot less frequently than voluntary returns. I've had complete success with eBay Buyer Protection. I've once or twice bought something that I was on the fence about because the seller offered a return policy -- in effect, I [I]was[/I] buying on approval. I've only taken a seller up on the return policy once, and in that case, the coins were significantly worse than described anyhow. I definitely [I]don't[/I] view "no returns" as a show-stopper.[/QUOTE]
