Increase in returns. | Seller Central

Is anyone else having far more returns than usual this year? Last year, I had three over the entire 12 months. I have recently received my sixth of this calendar year. Only one of these six could be remotely justified; three were simple change of mind, with a reason fabricated to make me pay the postage, and two have undoubtedly been "switches" where the item I received back was demonstrably not the item I sent. I know I can deduct up to 50% of the refund amount, and I have done this on occasion in the past. Beyond that, I do report the culprits, but that doesn't help at the time. I also realise we seem to be in a never-ending "cost of living crisis", but this sort of behaviour has never been a problem in the past, even during even worse economic times. Are any of you experiencing similar, or am I just being unlucky? (Obviously all these "buyers" are now on my BBL)
