1 - Selling fees: so far, in my opinion, nothing to complain about; eBay’s visibility makes it possible to increase sales enough to offset them. 2 - eBay’s arbitrary decisions that cost us a lot:- It’s enough for a customer who found it cheaper elsewhere to say “the item doesn’t match the listing,” attach a bogus photo, and boom, it’s returned at our expenseThat’s the case of the ‘half-honest’ customer whom eBay almost systematically sides with.You’ve spent time packing the parcel, paying the shipping costs, the return shipping costs, all for nothing.- Or the downright dishonest customer who will send you back their old part.There, you’ve spent time packing the parcel, paying the shipping costs, the return shipping costs, and on top of that lost your merchandise. That’s why I’m asking, and asking myself, the question: Should we keep selling on eBay?
