Now here is why I think Ebay is SCUM...

I have a NO RETURN POLICY...regardless of that the Buyer can return the item if he says, "It is not as Described" or "it is Defective." Since I sell USED items (which by definition shows wear and tear form usage) I do my due diligence in describing the condition of my items with multiple pictures and text. Buyers can and do GAME THE SYSTEM by claiming it as being "defective" and or "not as Described>" Ebay does not care how well you describe the items showing condition. if the Buyer says "defective" etc he not only get his money back but the Seller HAS TO PAY FOR SHIPPING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. Those shipping costs eat into profit margin as the money comes out of pocket. EBay bluntly says, "You have to expect that sort of thing as part of being a Seller." This in effect means the Buyer has no skin in the game. The Seller no matter how well described has NO RECOURSE as anything even if clearly shown can be claimed as being defective. This means it is open season on the Seller.

For decades I have sold other items on different platforms where if the Buyer doesn't like the item he has a 3 day right of rescission and can send it back. However in that endeavor the Buyer has to bear the cost of shipping in both directions.

I have gone around and around with Ebay on this..and am to the point I never want to talk to them again.
