Not everyone refunds shipping charges, if you have to return the item you may end up with a $3 refund.
OK, I will agree that is a very valid point. Maybe I've been lucky (goes to check) but I have now had almost 1000 transactions on eBay both buying and selling and as far as I can remember there has only been one case where an item was returned. It was when I was a seller and they were sure a piece was missing. I said return it and I would refund everything, they did and fortunately they were very honest because a couple of days later I got an email saying that they had the part. As I had suggested it was in the wrapping they had initially chucked in the bin but before taking the bin out they had checked again. They refunded all costs and more so and that has been my experience of eBay over the years I've been using it...no problems.
Famous last words!
