• We're extending buyer protection to include item not received claims for custom made products.

Six months to file a dispute?

Now, I haven't actually gone in to read the updates so maybe they have conditions, maybe not.   But six months is a long time. 

I like the rule about no signatures until $700 or $750 now although I believe ebay still has the $250 rule so $750 would be off ebay transactions or sales off your website if you have one.

The six month thing is crazy, that is not a refund policy thats a damn warrenty at that point. I dont think that is at all fair to sellers, way to much time for someone to use something and return it when they got bored. I thought 45 days was excessive but 6 months is insane.

I knew this guy that abused CostCo's "no questions asked" return policy this way. He would buy a 2K laptop, return it 6 months later and then buy another one. He said he wanted to always have the latest and greatest computer, so he didn't feel bad doing it.
