Seller Protection

[quality-items-original]

How do you protect yourself as an honest seller on Ebay? Dishonest buyers get away with everything, costly to the seller, who is honest. I've had enough, 64 years old, I don't need this anymore. Best wishes to all you honest Ebay Sellers.

How do you protect yourself as an honest seller on Ebay?

You cannot.  If ANYONE wants your item for free, be it 10K$ or 10$ ...this is the place to make that happen.  Your only REAL protection is for "Item not Received" if you follow the rules for same.  I started selling here in 1998. It was a good run, but it is soooo over. 

Good luck to you.  The internet is a big place now, not just ebay.

eBay has changed.  eBay does provide limited financial protection now for Top Rated Sellers who offer 30-day or longer returns, and they provide limited financial protection for any seller that offers free seller paid return shipping.

It isn't perfect, but it is better than before.
