Re: New fees for returned item ration coming.
I can easily absorb the damages of the new policy, but really think about it. From a small business standpoint that is even well diversified, you can easily have "those buyers" that simply dont care about others and will abuse policy for the sake of getting their way. I tend to give my customers the benefit of doubt on a problem. If I screwed up, or even the Postal Service creates an error, I will eat it. But some people are simply impatient. Messaging in the middle of the night and demanding a response in a few hours the filing cases will hammer metrics for that mere 2 percent of overall sales. Not to mention, the buyers that are simply stealing and know exactly what to do to get a free item. (ex. clearly showing delivered and filing unauthorized returns with paypal days and day out). I get that eBay is trying to hedge their model with punishing poor sellers, but a mere 1-2 percent deviation on an already 2 percent metric is just asinine. It is really like half of these developmental executives cheated or ignored their stats class in business school.
