Problem is that is kinda dishonest and we are not like that.
The second bigger problem is that while its all nice and cozy to offer DOA return freight costs the reality is that the buyer protection system does not limit itself to doa claims and can be used universally until the item rolls over out of the ebay database.
Another problem is that its great to assume a buyer knows what they are doing with electronics often they dont and the protection system does nothing to allow proof via pictures or anything really other than text ... something ebay staff have problems reading.
Finally the final straw is all the small items that sell are not worth returning so we are left to just refund and walk away even though the items probably not faulty in any way just buyer stupidity.
I have had 5 claims started already and they are ALL stupid, say goodby to cheap items on ebay as it will scare away all those sellers or just allow 6 month rip off scammers from china to bodge their way through ebay with dodgy **bleep** and run.
Right now in my hands I have a SOny Camera dropped in water CLEARLY as there is water in the unit yet ebay said customer gets a refund..... USELESS
All my complaints are of ebayers who say that the items are "cheap XXXX from China" well guess what, all electronics are generally made in China and for around $9 on a cheap item like taht what do you expect after ebay fees hit the seller?
DUH!!!!!!!!
Ebay is sucking more and more these days.
I am all for a safe selling and buying enviroment however ebay you have only looked at the buyers....... what about the sellers?
Oh thats right we sweep it under the bottom line figures dont we........ Ebay doesnt even refund the fee's when forcing us on a return.
