So I come in from the mailbox and DH got mail from eBaY!
Have you seen the direct mail piece?
SuperBowl theme ~
Score great deals on fine jewelry for Valentines!
I found the wording a bit odd ~
At eBay, you can save up to 75% off retail on our huge selection...
and
eBay even makes buying the perfect gift easy because many sellers offer free shipping, no hassle returns, and gift wrapping
YIKES!
I'm all for the advertising but sure am glad I don't sell jewelry right now ~
free shipping & no hassle returns ~
double yikes!

free shipping & no hassle returns

Sure, why not. Use it ,wear it, have fun showing off to your friends then just return it. Nothing like opening the door to more abuse!
If meg likes to pay for the shipping fine, but if not, then there is no way I will offer this.

You'd better add it to your TOS in very large letters....

I sure am glad eBay can afford to do direct mail.

I'd love to be able to mail my huge customer database. It's just not feasible.

Go to eBay.com and click on jewelry
I wonder what the jewelry seller's have been doing right to get the free advertising?
(or what they've been doing *wrong* for eBay to open the 'free shipping - no hassle return' can-o-worms)

I don't see any mention of other gift categories or *god forbid* the dreaded clothing categories.
Should I be happy or feel slighted?

Let's see, first it was a free shipping promotion on ebay-Australia and now this mailer for lightweight jewelry free s/h and hassle-free return ( PayPal purchases only? ).

Looks like ebay is really pushing it's own agenda as Marie had recently told in her post on OTWA about conversing with Meg personally.
