In the global cross-border e-commerce market, eBay has always been a giant that cannot be ignored. As the world's leading online trading platform, eBay has more than 1.3 billion real-time listings worldwide, covering more than 190 markets, and facilitates billions of transactions every year. Especially in the US market, eBay is a must-fight place for many cross-border e-commerce sellers. However, with the rapid development of the e-commerce market, the return issue has become a major problem faced by many eBay sellers in the operation process.

Current situation of returns in the eBay US market

In the US market, consumers are very receptive to returns, and about 30% of online shopping goods will be returned, and this proportion is as high as 40% for cross-border goods. On the eBay platform, consumers can easily initiate returns within 30 days or even longer according to the seller's return policy, which causes sellers to have to face high return logistics costs, lengthy processing time, and inventory backlogs of returned goods.

What are the specific aspects of the return problem in the US market?

High logistics costs: Cross-border returns often involve international transportation, which is expensive, and the cost of some returns even exceeds the value of the goods themselves.

Long processing cycle: From the time the buyer initiates a return to the time the seller receives the return, it often takes weeks or even months, affecting inventory turnover.

Complex inventory management: The returned goods may be damaged, missing parts, or not meet the secondary sales standards, which is complex to manage and handle.
