Seller rating fees must be fairly applied if they're actually real and not a ploy for money

I have a 110 count rating at 100%. This is primarily comprised of sales. A lot of people have commended my shipping speed, not once have they said it was under performance. However 17.07% or 14 of 82 transactions were considered late shipments. 6.74%...

Is Ebays 30 day return options worth it?

Hello, I am on the fence about the 30 Day return option. I have been lucky with my no return policy and that most of my buyers are honest buyer. Today I had a buyers remorse case on a $1000.00 collectible figure. The figure was a buyers remorse situa...
