By the 2015 holiday season, all eligible domestic returns on eBay will be eBay hassle-free returns and sellers may not remove hassle-free return settings from their listings. We updated this section also to reflect this future change.
Consistent After-Sale Experience. We updated the policy to reflect that we're simplifying the after-sale experience for buyers and sellers with a new improved return process that gives buyers a more convenient and consistent way to return items—right from My eBay. Many of our sellers who use eBay hassle-free returns are paying for return shipping on faulty or not-as-described items. Starting September 15, an initial group of sellers, (and after a transition period, all remaining sellers) will be responsible for return shipping on items which are faulty or not-as-described. Many sellers are facilitating returns for faulty or not as described items, but for those sellers who choose not to facilitate a return or provide a return shipping label for a faulty or not as described item, we may refund their buyers without requiring the buyers to return the item, and in turn seek reimbursement from sellers.
In a fantasy world where all buyers are honest it wouldn't be too terrible. But I live in reality. I already try to avoid Ebay when possible, but I'll probably try harder now.
For reference I only sell fully functional items or advertise/list them as broken. I take full pictures and always ship the item pictured. Yet I've had 3 bogus issues as a seller. I'm pretty low volume, high value on ebay. I would imagine power sellers run into scamming buyers fairly consistently.
