When you deliver on your service promises to create good buying experiences, eBay seller protection policy will protect you from abusive buyer behavior and from events outside your control.
If eBay finds a buyer’s behavior to be abusive, we will take action against the buyer and remove negative and neutral feedback and defects against you, including open cases in your Service Metrics.
We will also protect you by removing negative and neutral feedback and defects when things happen that are outside of your control, such as weather or carrier delays, or when the item arrives late but tracking shows that you shipped it on time.
Seller protection is of utmost importance for online sellers on eBay – a marketplace that connects millions of buyers and sellers worldwide. Therefore, it is imperative that we provide our sellers a secure and reliable platform to transact and conduct business.
There are various reasons as to why eBay considers it crucial to have an online seller protection policy:
Monitor fraudulent activities and take necessary steps to safeguard both the buyers and sellers
Prevent potential fraudulent activities committed by third parties and safeguard unauthorized access to eBay accounts
Provide a fair resolution for both the involved parties i.e buyers and sellers in situations such as a payment dispute
Keep track of the claims (Item Not Received (INR)/Significantly Not As Described (SNAD)) by allowing sellers to provide evidence for seeking the eBay seller protection
Help sellers report buyers who have violated the abusive buyer policy and take necessary actions against the buyers and protect sellers from feedback and defects impacting the seller health metrics.
