hearing multiple rumblings that eBay is making some significant changes in its return policies solely for the collectibles categories that may actually favor and perhaps help protect sellers in many instances.
anyone else hearing things?

actually the announcement may be coming tonight by nicole colombo, general manager for eBay.
I'm an eBay buyer, rarely a seller
Things should be done to protect market integrity; including seller protections
Everyone suffers if there's too much BS
Ebay is Ebay
Hopefully eliminate shenanigans like this. Real reason: buyer overpaid $1000 and wanted out. Long story......
apparently there's a sports cards event going on all week called the virtual". apparently andre dawson and that manger were the guest speakers last night where the new rules were laid out.
anyone have a run down of what the new rules are?
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I was recently burned by this...........if nothing else, the seller should have their Paypal fee returned.
I doubt eBay will do anything on their platform to make it less attractive to buyers, no matter how it may benefit sellers. I HOPE that I am wrong.

I hope something can be done. I wonder if those protections will be in the sneakers category. My wife my son and my daughter sell sneakers on ebay. Yes my wife is becoming a sneakerhead lol. Anyway there is an epidemic of people buying sneakers and not paying for them. I would say between the three of them if you add up all of their sales the non-payers would be about 30% or more. It is absolutely ridiculous. My daughter had a pair of Kobe Bryant sneakers get bid up to $320 within the first hour. That was the final price and they didn't pay. It happens all the time.

A lot of issues with Ebay could be resolved in a hurry if people were limited to two accounts at most (one for buying, one for selling) and were required to provide proof of actual identity.
I only buy but something needs to be done to protect sellers. I think this would help buyers as well. If purchases are truly purchases, some speculation will be removed from the market and help slow the rate of increase on some cards.
for most items, i would agree. however i think w the emergence of sites like stockx, myslabs and other app based selling platforms like mercari that are thriving and more seller friendly, that ebay is rethinking its current model.
eBay so desperately wants to be Amazon and for more than a decade that has shaped their policies. Even the new managed payments is following the Amazon model. There is a reason why Amazon is not a huge hobby destination. This is also the reason I have not listed anything for sell on eBay for 4 months
