If I read all the notes correctly.......a Seller can either offer a 14 Day Inspection Period......which means the buyer...can buy lets say a cap..wear it to a function..send it back.!..or try to sell whatever it is at local flea market for a profit.!!..if that doesnt work..send it back ..after the dogs and the kids have played with it....OR....just state NO RETURNS....which is what Im going to do......but rarely have I ever had anyone want to return something.....if they send me an email....I tell them..."send it back...and I will not only refund your money...but refund your cost to return it"....this of course is something no other seller seems to do....but a $5.00 ship refund has gotten me a lot of repeat business.....Im easy to deal with but believe me...there are crooks out there....and I know from experience.....EBAY SIDES WITH THE BUYER I DONT CARE WHAT.....they dont give a damn for the Seller....even with 12+ years selling.....buyer can leave a Negative on me but I cant touch them.....and whatever they say....Ebay stands behind them......not the seller......IF...I knew some other place to sell....I would try it......I tried EPIER for couple of years....but hardly any sales at all......IM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS GUYS....point me to another auction site..............

yes, me too, me and my dad have looked for other venues for years.

it has been a pain to deal with them, but a necessary evil because there aren't other venues out there for some items. Things sell better on ebay than on gunbroker or here on the forums, although I prefer to offer here first (Or Gunboards(

I have only been a "buyer" on Ebay, so my opinion is one-sided, but it seems to me that they have to be more buyer-oriented. Knowing that Ebay would most likely side with me in a dispute has made it more likely that I would part with my cash (which the seller gets instantly) in the hope that someone I've never seen before from somewhere I'll never be, will send me something I'm not able to touch or examine. The seller may be the most trustworthy, nice guy in the world but the buyer is the one who has to do the trusting.
