Calling all EBAY sellers! How do you list your vintage watches?

Hello. I have ran into a bit of problem with selling my vintage unserviced watches on Ebay. I always state in my description whether or not they run. However, I always note if they are running, "I can't guarantee whether or not they will keep accurate time or whether they will keep running at all due to not being serviced recently. Please keep this in mind when buying vintage pieces." I have had a handful of buyers who clearly never read my description and always request a return due to the watch not running anymore. I recently had a buyer request a return over a month after they received the watches claiming one of them did not run anymore. I know for a fact both watches were indeed running when sent.

What else can I put in my description to stop this from happening again?? Any advice?

I sold a Seiko 6139-6005 blue dial on ebay this summer, maybe June. I noted that the chronograph only worked infrequently, and that the watch would need a repair, and that the buyer was purchasing the watch as is. A day after the buyer got the watch, he requested a return, because the chronograph didn't work. The reason for his return request was that the watch didn't match the description. I called ebay several times, just to hear it repeated, and it was/is policy: if a buyer requests a return and says the item doesn't match the description, even if the reason for the return request is in the description, you'll be accepting a return. It's policy. The best route's to get it over with quicker, imo. Good luck.

I am a long time seller on eBay and it's very difficult to please everyone.. It's also very difficult because i do not understand why the ebay most of the time take the buyer side although they earn money from the seller side..

I also sell on ebay vintage watches.
On my description I write if the watch has the smallest problems.
All the watches I sell are running.
I write also that I do not know service history on the watches that I have not made service.
It is very rare for a buyer not to read description.
Well I have sold like three or four and I have had no problems so far.
Hopefully it remains like this!

Well the money are received from the buyers!That iss why they have their side with the buyer!
If the buyer looses their trust with ebay than they loose a client and noone wants that!
We make a profit and also ebay but they have some bad policies like when a buyer wants to return an item
they are not pleased when they receive it they should pay for the return shipping not the seller.
That is not fair for the seller at all!

I usually offer free shipping and it happen the buyer to want to return and the ebay force me to also pay for the return of the item..

and in my opinion the money came from the seller because the buyers do not pay any fees to eBay..only the sellers pay..and very high for watches..
