1. The impact of eBay returns on business
Affecting seller performance and ratings
On the eBay platform, return disputes (SNAD) caused by inconsistent product descriptions will be directly counted
into the seller's bad transaction rate and affect the seller's rating. Even if the seller eventually wins the dispute, the
bad record in the process may still affect the seller's credibility, and disputes that are not properly resolved may also
cause customers to give bad reviews, further damaging the seller's reputation.
Time-consuming
Each return will take up a lot of sellers' time and energy, especially when encountering unreasonable customers,
it takes a lot of time to communicate and coordinate. This not only increases the seller's operating costs, but also
slows down the overall work efficiency.
Loss of funds
If the return is due to the seller's reasons, the seller not only needs to bear the shipping costs for delivery and return,
but also may face the risk of loss of goods. Especially when the return label cannot be provided, the seller may suffer
greater financial losses.
2. Ways to reduce eBay returns
Accurate product description
When publishing a product, ensure that all descriptions in the listing are accurate, including information such as color,
quantity, and function. It is also necessary to clearly list all accessories included in the product to avoid returns due to
mismatches with the description.
Strict product quality inspection
For high-value electronic products, strict quality inspections must be carried out before shipment. For example, for test
instruments, check whether the screen has bad pixels, whether the battery is installed and has sufficient power, and
whether the accessories are complete.
Strong packaging
Ensure that the product packaging is strong enough. Especially for fragile electronic products, it is recommended
to use thick packaging materials such as five-layer cartons,
pearl cotton or bubble bags, and ensure that the seal is strong. It is also necessary to take into account the
climatic conditions in some countries to prevent the packaging from being damaged by rain during transportation.
Timely delivery processing
Ensure on-time delivery. If there is a delay in delivery, communicate with customers in a timely manner to reduce
customer dissatisfaction and return risks.
