eBay UK Introduces Easy Free Returns for Automotive Parts

What happened?
eBay has updated its returns policy for the automotive-parts category in the UK to increase buyer confidence. The policy applies to eligible items listed as new or new other, and sellers must make the required changes within the specified period; otherwise, the system will adjust the settings automatically.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Automotive-parts sellers should immediately review their inventory settings to ensure they meet the 30-day free-returns requirement. Although eBay will subsidize 50% of the label cost, a potential rise in returns could reduce margins; optimize product descriptions to limit “buyer’s remorse” returns.
