[Coco] eBay's New Policy

[Tom Seagrove]

The protection is...don't sell on EBay.

Yes, but what if the buyer gets the item, damages it and then claims that it was never working?

How does the seller protect himself against this?

With every silver lining comes the possibility of a rotten core.

Mark items with ultraviolet ink and take a picture.  Not perfect, but it 
helps....

Unless you're a seller who got scammed by a buyer, and you get stuck with a 
damaged item that you can't sell and you had to pay for shipping both ways.

eBay will allow a return for the smallest of reasons.

This change means I won't be listing much on eBay anymore, as I can't afford to 
anymore.

The result of this policy is that you will see less old and interesting items 
available. eBay will become mostly for new items from China.

It's about time!!!  I know I've been stung real hard when having to return items 
not as described!!!  Bought an Colecovision Adam and it was NOT working per the 
auction and it cost me $100+ to send it back.

In case you haven't seen/heard yet:

"
Money Back Guarantee. We updated this section to reflect changes in the Money 
Back Guarantee, specifically that sellers are responsible for return shipping 
costs if an item is not as described and that, if an eBay-generated return 
shipping label is used for return shipping on items not as described, we place 
the return shipping label cost on the seller's invoice.
"

HooRay!
