eBay UK said beginning May 1, 2008, business sellers will have to accept returns for fixed price items that are returned within 14 days of receipt. eBay requires businesses to register as a business seller to comply with the UK's "Unfair Commercial Practices Directive," which according to eBay, "makes it an offence to falsely represent yourself as a consumer" (http://pages.ebay.co.uk/businesscentre/identification).
eBay UK said it will require business sellers to accept returns for a minimum period of 14 calendar days. They must also display the physical address of the business. There appeared to be some confusion over specific requirements from a few sellers discussing the new policy on the eBay UK discussion boards.
