Size matters

1. Many items are listed without any reference to physical dimensions.

2. Some items are listed with overestimated size, and risk Not As Described returns, where the shipper pays both ways for shipping, and the item would be returned (PayPal fees not refunded?).

If an item were listed placed inside an L-Square with readable numbering (two rulers attached at a right angle) there would be no misunderstanding about the height and length of an item.

Of course, that is all well and good if the buyer is honest.  And, if ebay looked at photos.  However, ebay has their Money Back Guarantee, doesn't look at, or care about, photos and what the buyer claims goes.

No doubt that some sellers lose sales because they don't delineate the size in some manner........and, as you say, risk returns......  It was my first mistake on the first listing I made in 2004.....and a buyer asked me what the size was and I've been forever grateful for that question that taught me to "think" about what a buyer wants to know before buying something......

But is would still risk a SNAD, because the picture would show an L-square that was not included in the package 🙂
