3 weeks to return unwanted item!!

[grasscarp]

So I have another customer who clearly did not read my item description before placing his order. Now almost a month later he wants to return it. No problem - I understand that many  buyers are just too lazy to read the item description. Today I get the automatic approval from eBay for his return. Again, no problem. The problem that I do have is that eBay now gives the buyer 3 more weeks before he must put the item back into the mail to me. How far does eBay think his mailbox is from his house? Asking for a friend!

I am a little late to the party here. I have now 3 returns in the last 10 days due to buyers remorse. One said "just don't like" another said "changed mind". And of course they all have 3 weeks to get the item in the mail. That is just dumb. If Ebay gave the buyer 7 days then at least we would get the item back sooner to either resell or do whatever with it. One buyer has had the item 24 days, requests the return, ebay of course accepts return and then they can keep the item 3 more weeks and then send it back. Ugh. I know everyone is aware of this and its not new but I needed to vent my frustration.
