How to write your Terms of Service for auction listings(TOS)
Your terms of service (TOS) are an important part of your ebay, (or any service), sales plan. Your "TOS" will tell your buyers what you expect from them, and what they can expect from you.

Your TOS should cover these main areas of your policies:
- Payment: how you want to be paid, when you want to be paid, and what payment methods you accept.
- Shipping: How you ship, and when you ship, and any other specific shipping details
- Returns: Do you accept them, and how do you accept them.
- Problems: If there are any problems, how do you handle them.
Your terms of service will tell your buyer the "rules of the game" when dealing with you. You want your TOS to be clear and short, and friendly. Put yourself in the buyers shoes. Would you rather deal with some that writes; "Bid with confidence - Returns accepted", or someone who says "No returns ever - all sales final no matter what"?
