This is why I don’t do free returns. Someone wants to change their mind, they can pay to return it and I’m not refunding until I get it back.

@carnivorebackwoods

I dont refund anything until the item is returned. No exceptions

@dianacampos3343

It is EBAYS fault. They know they are scamming the buyer and still side with them. If ebay would deny alot of these scammers and boot them off.

@Mountaingypsytrading

I denied someone wanting a refund because he said he changed his mind, and EBay stood behind that. We have rights as sellers to refuse refunds if it doesn’t meet EBay returns guidelines. I didn’t give him a reason, and I didn’t answer any of his messages. I don’t put up with bs. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t have time for that.

I don't do free shipping. Buyer pays ALL shipping fees. I had one person try to says a $50 thermostat was broke. One of the clips on the back. I looked at the pictures and it wasn't broke, so I told him to send me a picture of it where it was broke. He told me he couldn't send me a picture of it. I told him I needed to see it in a picture and he would have to pay the return shipping. Never heard back. I always make them return it to me. It teaches them that they can't get stuff for free. Sellers who just refund them and let them keep the item is telling the buyer that it's OK for you keep doing this.

I don't do free shipping and I don't except returns. If someone wants to return an item I tell them they have to pay for shipping. and I'll refund the sell price.

@ForevertheYoungs

If I get a lowball, I’ll counter once and then if they try it again, I just decline and move on. If the offer is SUPER low, I decline right out of the gate. I also will report and block someone if they make a false claim against me such as saying I sent the wrong item (so they can get free return shipping) when I sent the correct item. I have a very small store and make only 20ish sales per week so I’m not playing with scammers.

@user-kg5vt2it4z

I always tried to maintain a Top Rated Plus status and after the scammers and returns we said screw this. We changed our return policy to 14 days and you pay to return the item. Guess what happened? The scammers went away and no returns for at least two months now. We were told by many resellers that 30 days free shipping on returns was the way to go or you could lose sales. Guess what our sales are up this month. We are keeping the 14 day customer pays for returns and Ebay can go screw themselves.

@lalapet87

Its defintely been the smaller items. Someone left neg feedback and called us deceptive for a $13.90 item and free shipping because she thought she was getting 2 items. Smh ebay has not been helping with removing unfair feedback

@greenerpastures1000

Unfortunately, I think buyer scams will increase. People are losing their jobs. I think I'm done doing free shipping.

@allstylesresselling8816

I deal with a few buyers like that. eBay needs to stop doing that free return policy so those scammers won’t get their favors.

@rinireselling

Yep!! I’ve actually had two customers in the last couple weeks ADMIT to not even looking at pictures or reading my description. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@eyeswideopen866

You are 100% about the Amazon affect. I had 1 lady buy 3 books. She got the books and was not “happy” boils down to she did not read any description or item specifics. Sent her a label and bag to return. Got the books back 1 day before her time ran out. All 3 books were out of their sealed bags and had been read- and probably been passed around her assisted living buddies.

@marlana5359

Yes, so annoying the low ball offer - asking more than half off the asking price! So annoying! I just ignore the offers now.

@susanweeres7915

I would love to see ebay add an option for sellers to charge a restocking fee for returns, the same as the big box stores are doing

@TreasureHunter-STL

Always require a return for refund. Many times they don’t bother. They know many sellers just give in.

@DovesInTheCrosswalk

Yes! The cheap stuff! They also like to leave negative feedback for no reason to try and extort a refund.

@EazyPickenz

Had to change some things because of these exact issues you are venting about! I stopped free returns, definitely no free shipping, and if buyer request partial, I ask for pictures to prove their claim, or start return. Tough stuff, the buyers sometimes prey on the sellers fear of negative feedback.
