Sales down-Are buyers waiting for 1st November when eBay Money Back comes into effect?

Hi Everyone

I have been trying to build my eBay business for over 12 months and over time have added free postage, next day delivery, opened a store, improved the look of my listings with Auctiva and joined My Store Rewards to reward customers with cash back on purchases.

 

I sell mainly new clothes with many of them being designer brands.  Most are around 50% less than retail.  I will also regularly put items on sale.  Some items are initially listed at almost full RRP but then I will put them on sale a week later.  I have tried all methods of selling to improve my sales.  

 

Last month saw an upswing in sales and I thought I was eventually starting to get some traction.  This month I have plummeted to 4 sales (it would have been 5 but that sale turned into a non payerSmiley Frustrated).

 

With the new money back guarantee from eBay/Pay Pal coming into effect on 1st November, I was wondering if buyers are waiting for this?  Firstly, if I offered a 7 day returns policy do community members think this would help with my sales ? Secondly, would this negate eBay's new policy or will the buyer still have 30 days to return the item?  I take more photos before posting the item just in case the buyer decides to "create some damage" .

 

I would appreciate any feedback

 

Kind regards
