eBay change to trading card return window

That is good news. I am lucky that as of yet have never had to deal with returns on ebay. As a hobby seller, I have always dreaded the idea of having to deal with a return a month after purchase. As was stated above, life and work come into play. A deal is a deal and time to move on after a short inspection period. Sellers shouldn't have to be home depot

So if a seller uses eBay managed payments and the buyer pays via PP or CC, a late claim made will be denied by eBay. If the buyer makes a claim via PP or initiates a charge-back then what? Will eBay defend and indemnify or will it just take the money from the seller if the claim is lost at the PP or CC level?

Hopefully, the same thing that happens now for charge-backs related to dishonest behavior that does not involve the seller. To clarify, the "dishonest behavior" could be a porch pirate or a eBay member attempting a scam.

Either way, if a buyer initiates a charge-back with their CC company, I'm covered if tracking shows it was delivered.

not good if you have a P.O. Box. I usually check it once a week.

eBay message:--When you listed this item, you chose to not accept domestic returns for remorse or change of mind returns.
In this instance however, your buyer has opened the return stating that the item was not as described.

When a “Not as described” return is filed, even private sellers are obliged to accept the return under the eBay Moneyback Guarantee Program.

( FYI--It appears buyers remorse or change mind is still alive and well ?? So will a buyer be able open a case AFTER 3 days of receiving not as described. With this example it was within the 3 days.)

From eBay:

"...If the seller doesn’t offer returns, you must request a return no later than three (3) calendar days after delivery, instead of 30 days, to return an item when it doesn’t match the listing..."

I think this cuts to the heart of the matter. The former payment system was being abused by fraudsters. They knew ebay and Paypal would not only take their side 9 times out of 10, but would freeze funds or redden balances of sellers, effectively bullying them into refunding to be able to access Paypal again.

Now the abusers will have to initiate chargebacks, which they know have higher bars to clear and are limited by the CC companies. Ring that bell too many times and they'll just notate your account or even close it and ding you with the credit bureaus.
