eBay Changes For 2009

IÂ just wanted to remind you of three important eBay policy changes that will begin to be enforced in early 2009.

As you’ll recall, eBay started enforcing maximum shipping and handling charges on books, DVD’s and Movies, Music, and most importantly Video Games in October of 2008. Sellers were given until January 2009 to update their item descriptions to make sure that the first domestic shipping option is below eBay’s policy maximum. More details: https://pages.ebay.com/sell/August2008Update/MaxShipping/ and https://pages.ebay.com/sell/August2008Update/OtherFAQ/#1.

eBay gave sellers a grace period for removing paper payment options such as checks and money orders from item descriptions. Enforcement begins in January 2009. For a refresher on this eBay policy, see this link: https://pages.ebay.com/sell/August2008Update/OtherFAQ/#3

Sellers will need to specify handling time and a return policy in their listings. Enforcement begins in mid-March 2009. More details: https://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200810071337332.html

Also, voting and the final contest will go up with evening.
