As a Seller, I don't offer free postage and don't want returns, I think that any buyer who goes out of their way to choose Ebay Plus, may be just the very ones I would like to avoid....eg..the ones who expect everything for free, and if they don't like the product or change their mind, expect the Seller to pay to get it back, which I believe can be up to 30 days later, (after they have used your item, damaged your item or whatever)

I am one of those buyers you would like to avoid because I choose Ebay Plus - but would consider myself a good buyer and choose Ebay Plus because of the advantages it provides to me not because, as you suggest, I expect everything for free, and if they don't like the product or change their mind, expect the Seller to pay to get it back .

Most of the items I have purchased since I joined in August have had additional postage - paid by Ebay - thank you Ebay.

In 17 years buying online I have made one request for a return (this year). The fault was with the product and Ebay paid for the return not the seller.

Ebay Plus will benefit some sellers (by making making some products cheaper for buyers with Ebay picking up some of the tab and therefore potentially raising sales) and benefit some buyers (by reducing the outlay). It's a marketing strategy by Ebay and to brand all buyers who choose it as expecting everything for free is a bit harsh (I think).
