The DOs & DON'Ts of Etsy define transactions as such: "A transaction is created when a buyer completes Etsy's checkout process. [...] An Etsy transaction is completed when the buyer pays and the seller ships the item."
Canceling a transaction is linked to refunding a seller their listing and transaction fees. In the case that the buyer wishes to return the item and the seller agrees to a refund, that is still a valid, completed transaction for which Etsy requires fees to be paid by the seller. Etsy has provided a completed transaction service to the seller. If the seller chooses to accept a return and possibly refund the buyer, that does not negate that Etsy has provided an agreed-upon service for which we should be paid.
This was not clearly outlined in our policies in the past, and some sellers took advantage of the opportunity to cancel valid, completed transactions for the purpose of avoiding Etsy's fees or feedback from buyers. We determined it was important to clearly outline the only circumstances in which a transaction is eligible for cancellation in the revised DOs & DON'Ts, which were published on Oct 27.
You can find the reasons a transaction may be eligible for cancellation in the DOs & DON'Ts of Etsy, under Transactions > Transaction cancellation: http://www.etsy.com/dosdonts.php#transactions_cancellation |

the return policy never made sense to me the old way, so ... the change makes sense.
but rolling it out before emailing everyone = bad form. and i would wonder if they could really (legally) enforce a change they haven't let their customers know about? maybe posting them in the TOU's counts, but it certainly doesn't feel right. |
