Selling
When I opened an eBay account as a seller, I thought that eBay offered ordinary people the opportunity to sell a series of items that they owned but no longer needed, of course, paying eBay the appropriate commission. If someone listed an excess of items for sale and these items did not sell because no buyers appeared, it was not the seller's fault. If the seller made some unintentional mistakes in the description of the items, resulting in the buyer returning the item, this return should not be considered a kind of crime and crucify the seller, because to err is human. When a seller is constantly told that he is below standard and threatened with being banned from selling on eBay, this is a wrong tactic with negative effects on the seller's mood and a kind of confirmation that eBay has turned into a kind of competition to prove how good a seller you are and where prizes and punishments are given. The effect of this harsh attitude on the part of eBay towards the occasional seller can have devastating effects on that person. It is recommended that eBay be more understanding and supportive and less punitive measures against the one who made a mistake. Anyway, eBay is advantaged by collecting commissions regardless of the seller's status, but the seller is ruthlessly taxed by applying more money withholdings than it should be and by creating a negative emotional state. We, the sellers, need the same protective attitude as the attitude towards buyers.

Mentor7 months agoIt is the responsibility of the seller to describe what they are selling accurately since the prospective buyers cannot see or touch the item. If they feel your description was inaccurate or misleading they can file a returns request because they have ebay's 30 days Money Back Guarantee. If you have too many returns it would appear your descriptions are not accurate, and unfortunately, ebay does penalize you if this happens more than the average for the categories you are listing in.
