Is it better to have a 7 day return policy on ebay?

Question

Im a first time seller and I was wondering if this really matters or is it important to a seller.

Answer 1

depends on what you are selling. i usually sell electronics and i dont allow returns. it could get complicated if the person does something stupid to it in the first couple days. or if it breaks in the mail.

i just insure the package and thats it. it saves trouble for the seller

Answer 2

that sounds good but maybe 2 weeks? What about stuff that takes a while to be sent back you cant contol the post you know what I mean?

Answer 3

Yes, it can help establish confidence for the buyer. If you know your product is high quality, then there's little risk on your part.

Answer 4

I sell alot on ebay and do not offer refunds anymore because people get to picky. I just state that i describe everything I sell to the best of my ability and do not offer refunds and ask that they email me with any questions prior to bidding . Hope this helps & good luck :)

Answer 5

It depends on what you are selling, but if you are selling just random things around the house like I do...just take great pictures, and describe it as is...and state that there isn't a return policy. Just basically like a yard sale.

Now, if you are selling like brand new in the box things from a store, or that you buy just to sell you might consider it people might trust you more. Check out some ebay sellers that are selling similar items and just study their policies.
