Too many eBay sellers, in my humble opinion, are obsessed with trying to maintain a percent positive feedback rating at all costs. While that's essential for newbie sellers, who need to earn their reputation on eBay, it becomes less and less important as your feedback score your total number of transactions on eBay grows.
Only the most neurotic buyers on eBay will quibble with a feedback score of Think you're alone? Go to any local department store on December 26 and watch what's going on at the returns desk. Do you honestly think every item being returned is defective? People shopping online want to have the same easy return privileges that they have in brick-and-mortar stores; they feel entitled to these, and they will feel cheated and angry if you deny them, even though your refunds and returns policy is crystal clear that they're not entitled to return merchandise just because they feel like it.
Just about every retailer recognizes that a small percentage—from 1 to 3 percent—of their transactions, on average, will turn sour. Accordingly, they establish a reserve for bad debts and build that into their chart of accounts see Chapter While you cannot deduct your reserve for bad debts on your income tax return, you can deduct actual bad debts as and when they occur.
As I have decided not to go into selling mobile phones, I have used my cash to buy other stocks. I do not have any money to repay him or buy a new phone. So now I would like to check with you guys what are the consequences if my buyer reports me? Will I get reported to the authorities? I know suspension of account is almost inevitable but will eBay allow me to explain my case to them or they will just base on what the customer says?
By the way, I did not specify any return policy but did state that the phone is brand new. Posts: Joined: 11 Mar 10 Karma:. Ok when you are reported to eBay; you have to go through the process of the dispute. It can take some time. Also giving you some time to get the money back. If the buyer makes a complaint to eBay then eBay will send you an alert stating you have to respond to the dispute.
You have to respond! You will have to have some proof. A receipt of purchase would be great proof that you could email eBay a copy. Hopefully you purchased the item recently before or during the auction itself. Pictures are great too. Hopefully you have pictures of the item still in the box. If you put text in your auction that you tested the phone to ensure working order in your auction he will automatically loose this dispute.
Other listing violations include offers from the seller to finalize a transaction off of the eBay platform and listings that include profanity or other vulgar language. After you report the item, eBay staff will review the matter and take any action they deem necessary, which could ultimately lead to a ban. Another possibility is that a seller is behaving in a way that violates eBay community rules, even if he or she isn't actively selling at the time.
If a seller -- or any eBay member, for that matter -- is somehow publishing the personal contact information of another member, spamming eBay members, sending threatening emails to other members, or using profane and vulgar language anywhere on the eBay site, you can report the member. Do this by signing in to eBay, clicking "Contact Us," then the "Contact eBay" tab, and then "Report a member" in the "Account" section.
If eBay finds that seller has violated policies numerous times, they will suspend the seller's account. Note that sellers do have some power to avoid getting their accounts suspended, or even to reinstate their suspended accounts, even if they were in the wrong for a period of time.
