EBay adjusts return policy to allow refunds to gift cards
EBay has recently adjusted its buyer return policy, allowing customers to choose to issue refunds to eBay gift cards when returning goods on the grounds of "buyer's remorse". EBay encourages this option, stating that credit card refunds take 3-5 days to process.

Frequent policy changes and lack of notification have caused difficulties for both buyers and sellers.
