Thinking about the upcoming holiday season listings.
I believe that to receive the top rated discount, a seller must offer a return privilege until the end of January on sales transacted from early November, through the end of the year.
Why not just go with an infinity return policy? Perhaps a buyer would pay a premium on an MS64 Saint if he could send her back after say the 2016 elections.
A fellow could buy a coin in his thirties and send it back in 2045 to use the money for retirement.
I am serious, it may boost sales and I surely have inflation on my side!

Good point, so may as well promote it.
Where is Sanction when we need him?
<< <i>Why not just sell coins that people Don't want to return? >>
Not sure that I can anticipate the thoughts and needs of each customer.
My return rate has been less than 2% of Ebay sales over a dozen years. Unlike the big auction players, I will always offer my customer an out if they change their mind or are disappointed.

There are a bunch of tire kickers out there who try to cherrypick, and when they find it isn't the variety they thought they return the item (like it was the seller fault). I have only returned two item since I have been on ebay. One of them was a camera, and the other was a coin not as described. I think it is good to have the option when something wasn't as described; however, I know a few who continuously return for the reason stated above, and there simply is no way to protect yourself from someone like that.

I offer a 200 year return if Global warming causes the temperature in Alaska to reach 120 F average for December, thus rendering the need for the heater passé.
