Total BS.
I will gladly give up my top rated seller designation over this.
So someone could buy a Tom Brady card in early January, then Pats don't win SB
and buyer gets to return the card?!??
Screw that!
eBay again screws it's sellers

I know the 30 day return policy sounds bad, but in 8 years selling on ebay with around 4000 items sold, I've have had around 4 returns. Basically, one every 2 years or one thousand items sold. Saying that I usually only sell graded cards and very few raw, so that probably makes a difference.

What difference does it make what a seller has as a return policy? If a buyer files a claim within 45 days the seller will have to issue a refund 99.44% of the time. I have never understood why eBay allows sellers to have a no return policy.

eBay can take their 1% and shove it. The 30 days doesn't bother me; the "free" bothers me immensely, esp. since the shipping will be at eBay rates with the label they will take the cost of from my account. The buyer has to have some skin in the game. If I have to refund the outgoing shipping and eat the return shipping I am potentially eating $5.32 per single graded card. I can't sell the cheaper stuff that way.

I also don't think the powers that be understand eBay. As a buyer, i don't go to eBay expecting a retail sale experience for collectibles. No one should. eBay had (has) a great niche as the world's garage sale. All of these changes that punish P/T sellers, though, it is just going to drive us off. And they wonder why they don't get the growth they fantasize about in the eBay C-suite each time they institute one of these asinine policies.

eBay, pulling defeat from the jaws of victory every time.

I have been a Top Rated Seller for as long as I can remember. I will be giving up my 10% discount as of June 1. I will never offer free returns on anything unless I made a mistake on the description. IMO, when a buyer is offered free returns, they have no skin in the game at all. As least if they have to come out of pocket to return something, they might think about it a little bit.

If they file an eBay claim and win the seller pays for return shipping. It doesn't cost the buyer anything
