As a seller of raw vintage, I have such a small percent of returns with the current 14 day mandate that I do not worry that this change will yield an increase in returns. IMO, even with the previously discussed scenarios, these sketchy returns can be accomplished just as easy in 14 days as they can be in 30 days.
The change that worries me is the new on-time measurement. With the changes, in order to be a TRS, 97% of the items need to be either shipped or delivered on time. With items w/o tracking, the buyer can, when leaving feedback, indicate if the item arrived on time, however, if no feedback is left by the buyer, this would cause the seller to not receive the on time stamp from ebay for that item(does not count against either). I ship about 7-8% of my items w/o tracking (inexpensive commons that would not sell if there was a higher s/h rate). I am confident on 92-93% will be deemed on time as that end is under my control, but am worried about buyers not understanding the new significance of this change .
