The return process
1. If your buyer initiates a remorse return, Webinterpret will automatically send a shipping label to them in their marketplace account (with customs documentation, if applicable). The entire process is automated so do not issue a return label yourself.
2. Keep track of all your returns (remorse and SNAD) from Returns in your Webinterpret Shipping Dashboard.
Under TYPE, the blue WI icon indicates a remorse return (i.e. Wrong size) covered by Webinterpret Returns. If the return is set against a blue background, the label has already been generated for your customer and the order is ready to be shipped back. If the return is set against a white background, the label is yet to be automatically generated.
A purple indicator represents a SNAD return (i.e Not as described) and is not covered by Webinterpret Returns.
3. Wait for the order to arrive back, inspect its condition and refund your buyer!
Notes:
- Any return without a WI icon under TYPE needs to be accepted manually through your marketplace account as it is not covered by the service.
- You can keep track of your return's shipping status directly in eBay.
- For international returns, label and customs documentation are provided to your buyer in their local language.
- If you need to file a claim for an insufficient return (after inspecting the returned order), this needs to be done directly through eBay.
Good to know
- The entire process is automated so don’t issue a return label yourself (ignore any prompts to do so from your marketplace account) and do not select the "Confirm you already sent a label" option in eBay.
- Webinterpret covers the cost of remorse returns (for example, if an order was made by mistake)
- Webinterpret does not cover the cost of SNAD (Significantly Not As Described) returns (for example, if an order was not as described in the listing description).
- Webinterpret recommends applying 60-day free returns which is applied by default (as it has historically delivered the highest sales growth).
- Your listings get better visibility in search results with the free returns tag and stand out when buyers use marketplace search filters (automatically applied by Webinterpret Returns).
