Resolved! Extreme return policy, I quit

Dear Ebay, In 15 years, I have had about 3 return item cases against me. Didn't it used to be that eBay would take a look at the messages sent between the buyer and seller, take a look at the listing, photos, etc, and make a decision? Now, they requi...

You'd think most buyers would be a bit more lenient...

Oh, boy. The US economy hurting sales now.

The virus-scare is making huge waves in the US economy and my sales are beginning to reflect it. No sales for 2 days. I sell a lot to the West Coast. Guess, the layoffs are filtering down to affect my EBAY sales. Anyone else?
