We have listings with a postage charge but I note EBay have also tagged the item with "Free postage and returns with EBay Plus "

 

Will be interesting to see what happens when one of such items sells.

I'm only guessing of course (because some ebay decisions defy logic) but you'd think surely if ebay add this tag without asking the seller first, then that is their decision & their responsibility to cough up for the postage component.

I presume the seller would still have to pay fees on the whole transaction-item plus postage costs-but ebay would have to deposit the postage cost itself into the seller's account or give them a credit for it?

As someone else said though,  returns are the thing, although i imagine ebay will initially cough up for those too. But not, of course, if a buyer claims something is wrong with the item. Only for change of mind returns.

For me, the most interesting thing will be if some of the 'bad' buyers opt into the system. You know the sort of buyers I mean, the ones who habitually give bad feedback or get refunds from sellers.

If the ebayplus tag goes on clothes items, i can see some buyers getting items, wearing them a time or two, returning them because it's no hassles.

I wonder if ebay will put up with habitual claims if they & not the sellers are the ones paying out all the time.
