If you accept returns, people will use your listing as a dirt cheap rental service. This problem is much more pronounced for goods that are desirable to rent, of course.

Even if a listing says "No Returns" eBay allows returns for SINAD (significantly not-as-described).

I would say a small percentage of people.

But I understand. That's why eBay is not suited for one-off sellers. It's meant for little shops, that will amortized the cost of the "free rental service". Just like Amazon does.

Right, but it's a legitimate reason to offer "no returns" (which on eBay actually means "SNAD only").
