I think it will cost you far more in advertising to drive the traffic to your shopify store then you will possibly lose to returns.

Also, aren't Kei truck owners generally a rather expert crowd that knows exactly what they own?  Do you actually have a high return rate? I know I own a rare a sometimes parts difficult vehicle and I not only know what it is, but I know the minute changes in the platform between model years and would never accidentally order the wrong thing.

I'd hate to see "bad riddins" - are they like under cooked or something?

Not sure what "free returns policy" you are referring to but if are not already diversified on multiple platforms then that was not good business sense.

How many returns have you had?  @auctionsales13

I think you have to look at what you are selling. You sell auto parts. Auto parts can have a high return rate due to the part not being exactly what the customers needs. It's all part of the business. Customer can't use it so they are allowed to return it. Do you personally deal with high return rates? If not then it's not that big of a deal than what you are making it out to be. Others including myself who sell random used items may not get the same amount of returns as you do cause of the products being sold.  I think it will be much harder for you to find another site to sell this stuff on other than Ebay.

Do they allow you to put off site contact information in your listings?

Not going anywhere. My return rate is consistently around 1% - frequently as low as 1/2 of 1%. If yours is that much higher then maybe it's you not eBay that is the problem.

@auctionsales13 Shopify is NOT a 'place' where buyers go to buy things. It is a WEBSITE builder and host. Period. You will need to spend about $10,000 a month to drive people to your 'website'.
