The global platform allows me to sell to overseas clients and this is growing segment of my sales.
And with Paypal extending chargeback times to 180 days for all purchases made from the UK, your overseas "rental" business will undoubtedly continue to grow.
Hopefully, your domestic cash flow will be great enough to cover the $$ that Paypal will be withholding for 180 days to cover any possible claims .... for both the item & the shipping cost, inclusive of FVF.
you must have read something different to what I read as the 180 day dispute time will not apply to all purchases made from the UK and there are qualifying limitations on the 180 day period like having to be UK-PayPal registered etc.
To be a little fair though, it does open the opportunity for expansion into other areas (and countries) although I guess there is a reason why those particular categories were targetted and not others.
Maybe that's where a great amount of buyer dissatisfaction comes from, so ebay is rallying to try and counter that?
How often do we hear of things not having a warranty when sold on eBay or of the item bnreaking shortly after the 45 days, when if they bought the same item from a B&M they get a 12 month warranty. Even Cashy's has a 90 day warranty (I think) and I just bought my daughter a second hand game thingy from EB Games and it comes with a 12 month warranty! I could have bought it cheaper online, but the boards are filled with examples where this kind of stuff is fraught with problems.
also, in the case of things coming from overseas, sometimes they are taking longer than the 45 days to even arrive, far less have a reasonable amount of time to make sure all the features etc work on them. So maybe this is PayPal's way to offer more protection for people who buy these kinds of things and changing the seller attitude of "it only has to get there within 45 days or keep woprking for that lonmg till I am absolved of all responsibility"
My last keyboard is a perfect example, if I had have bought that on eBay, I would have spent $200 for something that didn't even last 3 months (and even the replacements kept breaking - had 3 or 4 exchanges in a year)
Maybe the goal is to make the buyer feel more comfortable and safe to/in purchasing these kinds of things here.
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
