Dude, I've done 100,000 ebay sales in 28 years, mostly raw coins and stamps. I have very few returns, but those returns are disproportionately slabbed coins in the $200 to $500 range.
What denomination of slabbed coin is returned the most? I would guess silver dollars. Do you have a return policy?
It seems to be the price range more than any specific type. I've only ever had one return over $500 which was essentially bullion after a price drop - 5 months after sale, by the way. And the percentage of returns under $100 is tiny.
You allowed a full money back return on a essentially bullion item 5 months after the sale?!
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”
“Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”
“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)

You don't have any choice if they file a charge back. It's the cost of doing business.
