Luftmentsh,
I had not thought about that. Are there any specifics you could share?
Poshmark’s return policy helps protect sellers. Maybe Poshmark will become the new ebay as sellers see thier sales and profits drop!
So true Sonia,
This is really for ebay. It will be important for sellers to challenge this one because as you noted, “but after a while all of these “well, it shouldn’t happen too often” issues are going to start to pile up.”
KatieScott,
The real problem here (in addition to the loss of funds) is that ebay has swung the doors wide open on returns and they are going to try to put it on sellers in order to explain returns. I believe in July (check the Summer Seller Update) they are going to start seller metrics where sellers can see how they compare to others who sell the same items. Then they are going to start dinging sellers by putting longer shipping times and/or more fees on their accounts if their returns rates are too high. And of course, all of this will be passed off as a seller issue instead of an ebay decision making issue.
KatieScott,
I don’t think you are alone. Whether they share it or not, I think more and more sellers are going to be in the same position. Free returns are good for ebay as a market place and not for sellers While they market that free returns are going to increase sales, what they always leave off is that it swings the door wide open on returns causing them to increase whether they admit it or not. Really, what is going to stop people from returning if they have free returns? Just look at what happened at Amazon with a loose return policy.I think more sellers will find the need to turn off free returns.
I don’t think ebay would be offering sellers a free returns promotion if there were not issues like these with the free returns policy. Sellers are going to need to let ebay know their experience with free returns and the level of loss being experienced. This is especially true for Top Rated Sellers and those with Anchor stores because as a collective, they have a very powerful voice.
I would offer to always counter the offer at the price you are looking for even if you are not concerned with making the sale. Ebay is making the time point in which sellers answer offers a selling point, so it may behove you as a seller to answer offers so buyers wanting to make real offers see that you respond and send offers.
In the listing itself, go down to Shipping details (left side).
Under Domestic Shipping (left side) look to the rigt side for Services. Use the drop down arrow to choose your shipping.
Right below the drop down, it will say Offer additional service in blue. It’s a link. Click on it. Another drop down will appear. Click on the arrow to chose the shipping service. If you continue going down you will see handling time, Internatinal Shipping (left side) etc.Welcome to SL.
Your story sounds like a blog in the making.
Make sure to check out the What Sold Forum threads and videos. There are other SL members who are also into electronics and technology and do very well at flipping them.
Sigilini,
Congrats. Is it my computer or did you change the first picture on the set you mentioned above because it pops which is what should happen with pictures.This is one of the better strategies ebay is using. I believe it is called cross selling. It’s good for ebay as a marketplace and for sellers.

I think these links may also help.
