Bit of a rant but I've just had enough this wildwest freeforall marketplace unscrupulous buyers use to their advantage. I've lost track of the times ebay has sided with shady zero feedback buyers forcing a return, making me cover the return shipping on top of it. Its as high as 5% of sales in my experience. All they literally have to do is click the "item not as described" button and voila buyers are on the hook for return shipping, its literally that easy. Mainly for this reason I've decided to explore other venues/business opportunities, although ebays abysmal broken english customer service, tampered returns, and UPS/Fedex brokerage fees on returns played a part as well. I plan to stick around for however long it takes to get alternatives up and running but sadly me and ebay are not in it for the long run. Just not worth the headaches in my opinion. Good luck for those willing to stick it out hopefully ebay can address this flaw in their business model as well do a better job addressing canadian seller's specific needs.
