Ebay Motors Parts and Accessories is now making sellers offer free returns.So we as a seller contend with the following expeditures:Ebay Selling feesEbay marketing Fee on EbayEbay marketing fees offsiteFree shipping to buyersAND NOW-Free Return shipping for buyers who order incorrect parts. (Ebay states they will cover 50%-for how long how knows) We expect returns to skyrocket, we sell specific fitment sizes and buyers must measure and know their needs.Now the flood gates will be opened with the "I will just buy it and return it" since they guessed wrong. Amazon lets us charge buyers return shipping. Just because the parts and Accessories sales are down on Ebay motors sellers should not bear anymore weight in fees. A month ago Ebay contacted us to offer 20percent off and split the discount. Gone are the days of small businesses making money on the marketplaces.We will be pulling down 50% of our listings on top of raising prices to offset the new "Free Returns" Just another tarriff/ tax for buyers Ebay!!!!!!
