eBay will side with buyers when buyer indicates that you sent an item not as described. No returns does not mean no refunds. Ship on time or early. Package things well. Things that go wrong are your problem. You will have payments held for some period of time – it isn’t personal. Experienced buyers often make for better sellers. Don’t drop ship or engage in retail arbitrage. Buyers don’t care what you paid for an item or what you think it is worth. Take good pictures, write good descriptions. You are not entitled to a certain level of sales or a certain level of profitability. Treat your buyer as well – repeat customers can make things so much better for you. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that good enough is good enough. Know what you sell, sell what you know. Understand your costs. Understand that pricing you see on active listings is often far different than you will see on sold listings. Understand what are the high risk categories and items. Understand how you will differentiate yourself from other sellers. Understand that your competition is not just other sellers on eBay. Don’t take anything personally. Understand eBay policies – but don’t get fixated on them. Folks that have actually sold understand that there is so much that isn’t contained in those policies. Make every buyer better off from an interaction with you. If something goes wrong – make up for it. Not just make the buyer hole with money, but go above and beyond to make sure that it was a positive experience.
If you haven't sold here before, or if you sold a long time ago, your first step needs to be reading all the available information for sellers as well as the very important Money Back Guarantee for buyers.
Then feel free to return here and ask any further questions you may have.
