2. Seller Non-Performance Policy
Sellers are expected to consistently perform in a manner that results in a high level of buyer satisfaction. If a seller’s interactions with buyers result in greater than a 5% level of buyer dissatisfaction, as evidenced by negative/neutral feedback and/or Item Not Received complaints received over the recent 90-day period, the seller is in violation of the Seller Non-Performance policy. Please note that although we are not including Detailed Seller Ratings at this time, we will be using them in the future.
When a seller lists an item on eBay, and a buyer bids for and wins that item, the seller and buyer have entered into a contract that both members are expected to honor. If the seller doesn't live up to this agreement, it leads to a bad buyer experience and may result in negative or neutral feedback for the seller. Good practices that help sellers promote buyer satisfaction include:
- Accurately describing the condition, size and quality of the item directly in the listing.
- Honoring the original terms by accepting payment for an item at the end of a successful sale.
- Promptly shipping the item with appropriate packaging once payment has been received.
- Responding promptly and professionally to questions from the buyer.
- Proactively communicating with the buyer throughout the transaction.
- Issuing refunds in a timely manner when accepting returns or when there are problems with delivery.
