Have a question regarding EBAY's new mandate that sellers must offer free return shipping to earn a top rated discount. I do not sell alot but do sell enough to earn a top rated discount. I am concerned with this new policy that it is too easy to take advantage of sellers like me. I understand why EBAY is doing this but I can't absorb losses if buyers can just return items with no repercussions on their end.
My question is regarding Global Shipping. I use Global Shipping on all my items. If I list something with a free return and a buyer overseas wishes to return something will I now be responsible for the overseas cost as well as the cost from EBAYS's facility in Kentucky or will the buyer have to pay the pay the overseas cost and I just pay for the return from Kentucky?
If I have to foot the entire bill for an overseas return I will have to decide to either eliminate the Global shipping or the free returns.
