Saw this article about changes coming to .com to reinforce the "For Parts/Not Working" condition category.
https://www.valueaddedresource.net/ebay-for-parts-not-working-updates/
"In one presentation at the annual seller conference, Senior Director Trust David Newman said starting in October, eBay will have sellers' backs on For Parts/Not Working returns with Final Sale blocking remorse return reasons, a 3 day limit on Item Not Described return requests, and buyers having to provide detailed pictures to prove INAD claims."
You can still have legit INAD claims when selling for parts if there is a difference between the description and what you got, e.g. a non-working radio with all the knobs is not the same as missing knobs. This at least should slow down buyers buying Not Working then claiming an INAD because it does not work.
devon@ebay - any information if this will be/is applicable to .ca as well? Thanks
