9 times out of 10 it is quite easy to spot a genuine INR or buyer with a genuine gripe than a potential fraudster or someone trying it on ( which I wouldnt classify as fraud).

The nature of our items means that on eBay I have to date only ever had one genuine fraud I can think of ( where I knew I was getting taken for a ride and could do zero about it) but get plenty of try it on types usually one or two a week. I can put at least 50% of those to bed myself by simply asking the right questions. The others I guess I just have to factor it into my pricing.

The system eBay has now however in which they PROFIT out of returns via labels is pretty much enough for me to say next year if my website sales continue then its bye bye eBay and I'll take the 25k a year I pay you in fees and you can stick it where the sun dont shine honey.

Over time the new system will drive honest sellers off eBay and drive thieves onto it. And that appears to be a situation they are content to produce.

SO I fully endorse Stat Decs!
