eBay AU

I recently bought a shirt on Ebay from China. It was the wrong colour and the buttons were back to front so I had to send it back. I got a refund for the shirt but had to pay $22 return postage. I put a factual review online and Ebay advised they would only refund the postage if I changed the review as they did not like it (that is blackmail isn't it?). When I went to change my review so they would refund me I was advised it was too late to change the review because the time frame had expired. I am not happy as it cost me $22 for nothing on Ebay. I would suggest people think carefully before buying things on Ebay as customer service is poor.
It would appear to Ebay that negative reviews are not acceptable regardless of the facts! Thanks Ian

I have left greengadgets negative feedback for 2 items and eBay has removed my feedback. I also noticed that other negative feedback gets removed. Green gadgets are dishonest they sell faulty products. EBay is supporting dishonest sellers. I left negative feedback instead of getting a refund because I was not at all happy with the sellers lies. They state that every device is rigorously tested before selling if that was true I would not have received a faulty device. Another device was sold with a battery that did not perform well and did not hold charge for a full day with minimal use iPhone 6. Avoid eBay as the whole feedback system is corrupt as eBay removes most negative feedback.

If you are thinking of selling on eBay. The answer is simple... DONT! Had an issue with a buyer, eBay were on the buyers side. The buyer claimed that the item was "damaged" when it arrived, but it was obviously tampered with, they then turned around and changed there mind and wanted to return the item ($208.95), which eBay then took the funds off me without even hearing my side of the story, they gave me a deadline to have the matter sorted and if it wasn't sorted (even if that meant that the buyer wasn't replying to me) they would allow the buyer to keep the item and give her the full refund amount of ($208.95), also, then charge me a further $25 for having to intervene! I am yet to solve this matter, eBay are not bothering to assist me with this and I have just found out the buyer is a scammer who goes by several different names (yet eBay still do not care)
DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THIS SCAM.
Not to mention, they charge you 10.9% of each and every single item you sell (which was not clear from the get go) they advertise as "list 40 ads for free"... forgetting to add the part in where once it sells they will charge you 10.9% + charge you for the postage fees also...
I know I am not the only person who has had a problem, let's hope eBay can be shut down once and for all!

Sold my guitar as lost my job. Buyer in U.S. received my guitar on 25 March. Very happy with purchase. Ebay states new sellers will have their paypal money released 24 hours after buyer receives item, or 7 days after. Thank you Ebay for playing "god" with my money - over 2 weeks LATER. Out of work, and Ebay released my money only today 10th April. I asked for special empathy due to my position... NO! Ebay, no other company could refuse a persons right to THEIR money like you. Disgusting. On 25th March - my sale was AUD$4700. 00... due to failing US$, today 10th April just AUD$4290. 00 CRIMINALS! Seeking legal advice!

UPDATE: The customer has left posotive feedback on my page, details fast service, great packaging and item exactly as described. These CROOKS at Ebay are still holding my money for 30 days. DO NOT SELL WITH EBAY.

Ebay Australia is the most unethical bunch of crooks on the internet. I will never sell with Ebay again, they withhold your money for up to 30 days and keep in ransom in case the buyer "Isnt Happy" after a few weeks. What an absolute joke. Ebay owes me over 3k worth of sales, I am given release dates for the funds which are a month away. The buyer is absolutely content, we have been in communication, registration of devices transferred to new buyer, buyer is using them, order had tracking, buyer sent me email thanking me for the package and the extra gift I included. The buyer has been absolutely great, top bloke. Ebay on the other hand are absolutely unethical and just play god with peoples hard earned money. Im sure they just hold money to make interest on other peoples profits. Ebay is pretty much just a drop shipping scam now, all good sellers have been pushed out. You buy products advertised as local, which come one month later from Chinese suppliers. Real sellers like me get no respect. CROOKS

If you are looking for a bargain then go to ebay they have everythin you can think of. The auction time doesn't increase at the last second and you have a better chance of winning your item if you wait to the last few seconds. Not like Bidfun at the last seconds the time on the bid can increase and continue to keep going for hours. I would go to ebay now that I know the truth about Bidfun. You should not have to buy credits to bid on anything.
Go to ebay they are the best when it comes to auction rooms you have no hidden costs and you pay only what you bid. AAA ebay is.

There are two simple words to describe ebay now rip off
They charge you a fee for selling a item and a fee on the shipping cost, that means whatever you charge for shipping you have to pay for what ever they take out
I recently sold two items to the value of around $200, one was a heavy item so had a high shipping cost, after taking out ebays sale fee, shipping fee and of course paypal fee I was left with around $110, how can they get away with it?
Ebay has become a company of pure greed, I am done with them, I hope a honest reasonable company takes over them soon

Everyone knows about ebay, even if they have never touched a computer in their life,
Eveyr1 says everything is a bargin there... not true MOST of the stuff is a bargin but there are things you can buy from a shop for $5 and on there will be $10-$15. Its always good to look for what you want on ebay then go to your local shops have a look around if u can't find it cheaper the i would go ahead and buy it from ebay, i am an ebay holic, i sell loads of stuff on ebay and the money i make usually goes to my shopping habbit on there 2 lol

DON'T BUY FROM THIS SELLER... loove_home! I bought a child's toy from this ebay seller on 26 and it never came. Ebay said it had never been shipped. After many contacts with seller they responded telling me they sent it with Fastway Couriers. Fastway have never had consignment from this seller. I demanded to ebay to take them off their website because their dishonest, have bad business ethics and totally unreliable. I doubt ebay will ever listen to the complaints of the buyers.
