Return Rate
The percentage of sold items that are returned by buyers. A high return rate on eBay triggers defect accumulation and can lead to account restrictions. Common causes: inaccurate item descriptions, photos that don't show condition issues, incorrect sizing information, and shipping damage. Improving listing accuracy through better photos and condition disclosure typically reduces return rates significantly. eBay's performance dashboard shows your return rate compared to seller benchmarks.
