<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2652806, member: 13307&quot;]I used to accept returns on my eBay store (I have always accepted returns on my website, and all the prices are cheaper, but traffic &amp; purchases are still low.)&nbsp; A couple of things influenced my decision to remove returns from eBay - </p><p><br /></p><p>*eBay attempting to force sellers to accept 30-day returns.&nbsp; This is a ridiculously bad rule and I absolutely refuse to give someone 30 days to try to flip a coin for profit and then return it.&nbsp; I&#039;m not going to extend my budgeting/paying consignors by a month.</p><p><br /></p><p>*Even with returns, people like this guy will find a way to SNAD you into paying return shipping, lowering the price, etc.&nbsp; There are just jerks out there who have no conscience about whether their actions have consequences for other people, and as long as they get their way, eBay and PayPal are happy to enable this behavior.&nbsp; The <i>only</i> way these people get weeded out and/or have their behavior corrected is the blocked bidder list (since sellers cannot leave appropriate feedback.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, do I WANT to offer returns?&nbsp; Sure.&nbsp; I want things to go smoothly.&nbsp; I want to sell a coin at a fair price (enough that I make a little money) and ship it immediately in secure packaging.&nbsp; I want every customer to have a good idea of the exact coin they are getting, so I try to provide good images so they can see the coin.&nbsp; I want a buyer to know that if I make a mistake, I will make it right on my dime. (Keeping in mind that it costs me $3 at minimum to ship every item since eBay penalizes sellers for shipping coins without tracking.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the system as currently set up allow me to do that?&nbsp; Somewhat - because with buyers like this who are well aware of their advantages and aren&#039;t afraid to use them to squeeze a seller because they know the field is tilted in their favor.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Significantly Not As Described&quot; - to me, that means I sent you the wrong item, or used my images to hide something about the coin, or failed to mention something important.&nbsp; That&#039;s not &quot;I just changed my mind so you should bear the brunt of that indecisiveness.&quot;&nbsp; And yet, that&#039;s what it&#039;s used for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
