Ebay CAReviews 79

1. First of all i registered and when i went to log in a different user name came up with my email address. 2. i attempted to make a bid several times and on each occasion i got a message that i had exceeded my maximum number of allowed bids yet i had no registered bids(i think that maybe my bids were just less than they wanted)3. The majority of canadian ebay items were from the us so no bargain there 4. Items cost more than in the store and refurbished items were listed even higher than new items in the store basically... ebay.ca is just garbage

I purchased ring on ebay.ca paid $400USD with shipment. Seller vandpjewelryinc sent order without request for signature upon delivery. SHipmet was marked as delivers but I never got it. Post office can not email proof of delivery as no signature was requested. I filed complain and ebay sided seller. Next is even worst, when I submitted feedback they removed it. Customers are unprotected and they never will know problems and issues ebay is hiding from them.

I purchased a Google Home Assistant.
Payment was received by PayPal.
Order was confirmed. Delivery was to be sent by October 16th. EBay emailed me requesting I wait til October 23rd. I contacted both seller and ebay on 3 occasions. Sellers account was suspended. No response from either until this morning an email saying, "My file has been closed because I haven't responded back to them."
I contacted owner 3 times and ebay 5 times...

Many products from China (and most are) never arrive. Some could be lost in the mail, but that is too much of a coincidence that so many never arrive. By the the time you have given it a few more days and some delays in answer from the seller, it's too late for any claim from eBay. If you buy electronics which come defective, you are stuck, unless you want to pay huge shipping costs to ship it (with tracking and insurance) back to seller in China. The process may take months, which by then is too late for eBay refund. EBay should monitor their sellers a bit better. Compare to Amazon with stellar customer service, eBay is of very poor value.

I bought HP Compaq 8300 Elite SFF Desktop PC (Core i5-3470 3.2 GHz, 8 GB, 500 GB, Win 7). Item had disappeared, i gave the right address from where i work and theres no excuse to not receive because i work in the office and get all delivery that been sent to there, the seller gave me the track number that said that its been delivered but i never got it, open a case on ebay and they just close without help me to do anything, lose 300 bucks, never and never buy anything from ebay again.

I've been buying on here for about 10 years. So far I've only run into one nasty seller who wouldn't take responsibility for her inaccurate listing. Other than that, pretty much perfection.

I buy a Multi Player Video GPS Car for my Toyota Highlander and when I get the product I see that is not conform to the specifications, then based on Ebay policy you have the guaranty that you get your money back, but what Ebay never told you that if you pay the shipment to return the product you will not get anything.
I call Ebay before to return the product since the vendor was asking a shipment by air so cost estimation of 250 $, then Ebay confirm that this is regular procedure and since they see the email from the vendor asking to return the shipment by flight and that he will be reimbursed the return shipment fees.
After I send the product I got only money back for the product itself but never for my return shipment. Ebay they cannot do anything since in their process I get my money back of the product. After I escalate the issue to the management they agreed to give me a voucher of the same amount of my return shipment but I need to use it in one transaction, time to choose what need to buy since need to be same or less amount in one transaction and was period of my vacation, so I took more time than allowed that I was not aware of it, then when I decide to buy something, the voucher was already expired. Ebay they just told me that they cannot do anything, it's over.
So my advice never buy something big that will cost you a lot to return it because if you receive something that was not what you was willing to buy then you have just to keep it and whenever you see it you will hate Ebay.
My Advice is simple, just buy from Amazon, the service is much more better.

Fast processing time, quite fast delivery, everything is visible on website, you received email confirmations, overall I'm very happy!

E-bay is an excellent website to purchase from. Just make sure you do your research on the seller before you purchase from them. If somebody tries to make you purchase an item through a PayPal "Friends and Family" transaction... do not. And I mean DO NOT do it. They will take your money and send you a bogus product (if any product gets sent at all) and will not refund you the money. These scammers are all over ebay, so beware. PayPal and Ebay will not be able to refund you that money if this happens. Just a piece of advice. Otherwise, I have used this site over a dozen times and have been very happy with my purchases.

www.ebay.ca can be a difficult website to get the hang of, but in the end it is worth the struggle.
