Cancellations are crippling ebay sellers! Had 7 of them this weekend

[semiexperrt37]

I have close to 70 items to ship this weekend. Sounds great but 4 of the most expensive items buyers have asked to cancel and plus 3 other random items. This is roughly $40 down the drain for nothing. This is not to mention the numerous returns for just did not like it, does fit, INAD(NOT TRUE) ETC..  

   Now that returns are not closing for 30 days or more , my return section is so large your head would spin. I have thousands of dollars in returns that just sit open for weeks. Buyers are taking full advantage of the return time frame and I receiving items back 30 days after sending them out and that will soon be 60 days. In many cases the items have clearly been used for that time frame and is less valuable. I guess ebay makes a killing on those return labels so oh well sellers!

I am SOOO sorry for your plight!

I hope every seller blocks these"buyers" who cancel orders, bid & not pay, open cases...

Wouldn't it be nice if sellers could see a buyer's purchase history...as in how many cancellations, opened cases for illegitimate claims, UPI's...then we could decide whether we would want to engage in any business dealings with that buyer...

Of course it would never happen...just wishful thinking...would love to have the playing field leveled a bit.

We cannot see your REAL account because you obviously use this ID as a posting account because you have zero items even listed. If we saw your active account with feedback and comments then we might have been able to see what your problem(s) are concerning cancellations as well as why you are experiencing many returns and items not as described. I will not take your word on them all being "not true". There's more to this story. I have a strong sense that you are "crippling" yourself.

If buyer history ever did become available to sellers, then the problem buyers would just create new accounts.

Well, at least they would have to go through the hassle of doing that + lose all of their FB ratings to boot...not that buyer FB ratings matter anymore...

Along time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, eBay was more transparent and sellers could view a buyer’s purchases as well as their bidding history. No scrambled IDs. It was quite useful.
