    Ok a lot of stuff Ive bought is low priced electrical stuff & had no problems, BUT a lot of stuff you purchase dosent have a receipt or a return address, and a lot of them say that return postage is payable by you (incorrect).
    Another thing, how do you enforce a 1yr warranty, or even harder the SOG act from e-bay?

    You can't please everybody all of the time. Don't take it personally. And price your items with enough margin to allow for returns and the odd INR/broken.

    If you sell low priced items (less than £10ish inc P&P) then get a PayPal micro payments account.

    Research your postage options well.

    what's a micro payments account ?
