I agree, it's a very bad idea.

Not to mention buyers not reading the T&C's then expecting sellers that don't even offer returns to honour the promo.

I read through it but I bet a lot of buyers will only give it a glance, then if they do decide later on a return, will just remember a few key points.

The first will be the title, "Free returns on pretty much everything".

 And the bottom diagram about how it works-buy before Dec 31, if it's not right click return this item, send back free.

I wonder how many will see the details about the restocking fee.

If I were a seller offering this, I'd be inclined to have a restocking fee clearly mentioned in every ad, just to cut down on frivolous returns.

You can bet that some time after Dec 31st, if buyers get used to these conditions, that ebay hopes sellers will start to pick up the tab for these returns.

Oh and for those sellers not sure about restocking fees, catch of the day charges a 20% restocking fee (on item cost only not on item/postage combined cost). I suspect sellers on ebay who had it at 20% might cop a blast in their feedback. But 20% is the reality elsewhere.
