What should I include in my policies?

In your seller terms and conditions, you need to be clear about your transactions. Specify taxes and other fees, share shipping information, and include your return policy.  In doing so, we encourage you to consider our Terms of Service and associated policies.

These policies lay out expectations for you and the customers and clarify both parties’ responsibilities. Having a thorough product policy helps to avoid unwanted issues like disputes or other problems.

Under my inventory information, what does SKU mean?
