A little different twist with Ebay's seller's returns. I was amazed.

I recently sold 3 walkers to the same individual via ebay auction. After receiving them, a few days later he filed for a return saying, I didn't mean to order them. Well, of course ebay approved the return and held my funds until I received the coins and finalized the return. All was as I expected, but then ebay made the buyer pay the return Shipping and deducted the fees, the buyer also did not receive the S/H fee upon shipping the coins to them. I received a fee of $10. 15 from the final sale value. I could not believe it. Seems like they are not always death to the seller.

    Sounds like the seller was honest about the reason for the return. He didn't file a SNAD.

    Maybe he didn't realize a SNAD would have fully reimbursed him. :*

    There is no other place with as many eyeballs, especially at such low cost.

    Etsy seller fees are much higher than ebay.

    Nice to see a positive seller experience on Ebay.... I know there are millions of positive experiences, but here, we mainly see the negatives. Cheers, RickO
