Etsy sellers are increasingly concerned about listing items priced over $250 ...........

It looks like Sellers are being hung out to dry everywhere, I hope this isn't something that's going to become standard across Ecommerce platforms.

 

Etsy Sellers Grow Leery of Selling $250+ Items (ecommercebytes.com)

 

"Etsy sellers are increasingly concerned about listing items priced over $250 due to reports that Etsy automatically refunds buyers who file claims. Numerous sellers say they have removed expensive items from the marketplace for fear they'll be out the money and the item.
 
When controversy erupted last year after Etsy raised seller fees, company executives promised them increased seller protection, as we reported on the AuctionBytes Blog in June."

Welcome to the new  way of doing business. I guess almost everyone wants to get every thing for free. It will backfire on them one day. With shoplifting you risk getting caught and prosecuted. With on-line just claim not received or not as described and get it for free.

These kind of selling venues are great for low value garage sale items.  But, selling high value opens one to a lot of risk.
