Who should pay for shipping?

Asked by Nimis (13255points) May 7th, 2012 from iPhone

I’m curious how both buyers and sellers feel about this.

On eBay, suppose a seller’s description of the item is not accurate. The buyer wants to return the item.

It seems pretty straightforward that the buyer should be refunded their entire purchase price. But who should pay for the cost of shipping? Original shipping (seller to buyer)? Return shipping (buyer to seller)?

What if the cost of shipping costs more than the item itself?
