Dear Cameras_n_such

I have take this discussion about differential registration process and such a registration process already exists on ebay, however the adoption of business registration is low

I agree that there are lots of posts regarding the bad sellers, however there has not been any change in what we are seeing internally. The number of fraud cases is extremely low. One can also see the number of cases where buyers are asking for resolution which is more than 3 month old transactions

The current concerns seem to the need to increased interaction with such buyers and helping them completes the buyer protection claim process.

On the restocking fee – I think as look as it is mentioned in the description and buyer is aware of this before purchasing it should be acceptable. As long as the seller provides the proof of refund it should be okay. However if majority of the transaction are refund we then also need to look from the perspective of whether such a seller is good for site

For ebay it would not be feasible to check the seller sourcing and vetting. I would look at this and see if we need to put some basic guidelines of item description

As mentioned in my earlier post Seller Non Performance issue is a concern, however we would try and change the reinstatement criteria and as you can also see in this response of buyer complains and asking resolution for transaction more than 3 months old there is a some merit in current SNP warning and asking sellers for resolution

Dear pc_gaming_store

We take piracy very seriously and work with over 15000 brands worldwide under our VeRO Program. The challenge is taking action on price points and it would not be feasible for ebay to be a master of the product titles and their price points.

Restricting categories has its own advantages and disatvantages hence we looking at alternate solution which can address the issue of piracy and protect the interest of sellers who are selling genuine software

In the coming weeks you would see some an improvement in this category

I can understand your concerns around transactions in which buyers back out. Ecommerce in India is still in the early stages and such situations are bound to happen.

If you consider sending a legal notice to the buyer is needed you may do so.

In order to check frivolous buying on your items as mentioned in my response to goanjewels do use the buyer requirements

Dear jm.desai

I am sure you would agree that the situation you faced is rare and I agree you had financial loss due to foreign currency conversion

It is not feasible ebay to protection currency fluctuations and there would also be situation where one would profit due to currency fluctuations
