Put lipstick on the pig........

I just had a return scenario on Ebay that I called customer service on - it was a gold necklace. My description:

" The herringbone has a nice alternating textured pattern on it "

a little further down in my description:

"Please e-mail any questions BEFORE you bid. If you place a bid – you accept the item as described with no assumptions."

Buyer initiated a "not as described" return stating:

"I didn't realize the pattern was on both sides"

I am 1) grateful that I actually received the Necklace I sent back ( I have heard some nightmare stories on returns) and 2) fighting with Ebay about not needing to pay shipping charges as the item was exactly as described!


Ebay is getting harder and harder to do business on. Just started managed payments - now have to wait ~7 days for $$. I am looking for alternatives - just listed a bunch of stuff on Ebid - anyone have any experience there or elsewhere?
