eBay

After an hour and 5 phone calls later I'm greeted by a robot. After which I'm forwarded to another dead phone number. I just need to ask a simple question through, chat, email, or phone number. EBay is not available through any of them as far as I can tell. My email address is @*******@gmail.com if anyone has a recommendation of any other sites I could sell on I'd appreciate it. I don't feel like giving eBay 10% of everything I make when they can't do jack $#*! for me. They let a scammer purchase my listing. Which I declined right away and they blocked my listing and removed it. That's 30 minutes of work taken away because of the mistakes they made.and an addition 60 minutes trying to correct their own mistake.

EBAY has no way to distinguish the endless identical dealer ads from individual sellers when you are buying. It has become a giant reseller haven for junk. There is still the occasional individual selling a good deal, but you have to wade through piles of crap to find them. The site is intentionally complex. They must have run out of ideas for ways to charge fees. It is unfair to charge fees on items that do not sell. If their site does not generate income, what have you paid a fee for? To give Ebay your money? I ended up with a bill that didn't even cover what I sold. What a joke. Never again. Hello, Craigslist.

Ordered a line light used while doing PDR work. Ordered on 3/26/21 and still haven't received it. Found out the sellers customer service is located in China and this created issue with in itself. After going in circles with the seller I was finally able to bring eBay in on the problem. Did this first thing on 4/14/21 and within a few hours eBay sent me this message "We're sorry you had a problem with your purchase. However, this item isn't covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee." After reading other reviews I find this is a common statement. What I've learned from this is buy American and support brick and mortar. I'm out $31.50 plus a. 94 foreign atm fee. Stay away from this seller magic-tools2014

Your ebay experience obviously depends on the seller. I've been using them for about 10 years, and this is the advice that I'd give:

Only buy from someone with 100% positive feedback. The best ones have between 50-1000 reviews, because they will bend over backwards to protect their rep. You may think your safe buying from someone with 99.8 positive feedback with 50,000 reviews, but your negative is just a drop in the bucket to them.
Use paypal, but also use a credit card with a customer friendly charge back policy. If something goes wrong, you have multiple options for disputing the charge.

You can find some attractive bargains on Ebay, but too often they will end up in a quite normal price (after I read the top comment, I knew that there were some tricky sniping programs, no wonder it's hard to win those attractive bids). However I am quite pleased with their buyers' feedback section, which is a track record of the seller's performance in the previous transactions. I feel safe to buy from those sellers with most positive feedback.

I have been buying almost 95% of my graduate books here, and it has been very pleasant so far. Of course one would expect the occasional hiccups like the books are not as described. When that happened, I asked the book seller if the wrong version had been sent (for example, a book that is only of an "acceptable" condition charged for the one I bought at "Very Good"). And I got my money back. Everything was done professionally.

There are so many book sellers and you have a high chance of getting what you want.

Another good thing about this website is you can pre-order the book(s) you need by stating the price you are willing to pay. Once it is available, you will be informed!

I would like to think most people have used ebay to sell or buy... or at least searched for a thing or two. I was looking for a certain piece of autographed sports memorabilia which I could not find on any sports/fan site. So low and behold I came to Ebay, which to no surprise had exactly what I was looking for. Site navigation is laid out fairly well. Creating an account and accessing emails for questions/comments is as straight forward as it can get. Making payments and receiving payment is hassle free and quick. If you need to find something specific and are looking for a easy transaction Ebay is probably the safest place to go.

When selling on eBay, the fees tend to be a hassle and with so many competitive prices, you usually don't make much money but as a buyer, it's the best! You just need to know how to actually use it. If an item (for example jewelry) is way too cheap for the type of gem its claiming, its probably a scam and this is true for anywhere. Always make sure you look at the person you are buying from. Check their rating percentage and their reviews as sellers. Shipping is fast if I buy from my country or its slow but very, very cheap
I've been using eBay for years and have only had 1, bad experience which was my first purchase. It only happened because I didn't know how to use it and didn't check the seller. I reported to eBay and got my money back very quickly. Love this site

Ebay is a great site. Their basic search engine on the home page and options to view various different categories is easy to use.

Members can sell or buy by make bids for items and the site is constantly updated with new prices and new auctions... I am sure as most of you know.

Great concept which does not get old.

Ebay ALWAYS refunds buyers even if obvious scam! I sent a pristine, brand new designer handbag on 1.12.23 via Royal Mail Special Delivery costing £8.15. I listed NO RETURNS NO REFUNDS but scam buyer said "handle too short" and I received bag back 20.12.23. It had obviously been used all that time and is now spoilt. I lost other interested genuine buyers. Ebay has now refunded scam buyer in full but no postage refund for me, the seller. Really fed up with Ebay!

I've been selling on Ebay for over 20 years, every year it get worse and now I might never use them again just because they are doing so much selfish sh*t. They quit using PayPal, keep increasing there fees and now when you sell an item and get paid from the buyer, Ebay can hold that money up to 2 weeks until they verify it was received by the buyer! So now they can hold all that extra money for up 2 weeks and do they pay you interest, Hell no! They're trying every little thing to make more money off everyone. I guess I will now use other selling sights since they got so greedy.

Ebay just posted quarterly profits of, I don't know, a couple BILLION dollars... and yet, here I am on Saturday waiting to speak to a customer representative and have waited over an hour so far. I'm sure their call center (filled with minimum wage workers) don't see any benefit of those profit levels and as a customer, I would expect they can hire more minimum wage workers to fulfill service demands. The only reason this isn't a one star is I'm expecting that once I get through (over an 1 hour? Come on!) that the call center worker will be very pleasant!

I have been Ebay client over 10 years. Beside their fees went High but they hold your money up to 30 days Basically they are holing Millions of dollars for 30 days and not paying us the interest. Customer service Not knowledgeable. I spoke with 4 different people and I asked them, If the buyer sent positive feed back after receive the item, Can you release my money? The answer is No! Base on what? I'm personally would not recommended EBay after Over 10 years to Anyone. There are lots of tools, website for selling. The Payout doing Wrong and not Legal. Where all Interest Of Millions of dollar on hold goes?

I opened a LTD company to trade on this platform, created an account, made 0 listings 0 actions and got permanent ban in 45 minutes.

Only reason I can see for ban is that I am a ukrainian person, so will try to file a lawsuit against them and will update the review with my progress.

Would stroungly discourage any small business to use this platform. Support did not even try to resolve my issues, just standard response texts.

Ebay.com is my most favorite buy and sell site. Tons of people visit this place and would instantly see your product (as long as they search for it). I'm not much of a seller though but more of a buyer. I just make sure that I read feedbacks from the seller and check if they are power sellers just to make sure of their credibility.

Up to now, I have no problems dealing with sellers in ebay. Hmm, is it just me or are these sellers seem to be extra kind when talking with you? I haven't transacted to a rude person yet in here.

After having an ebay account with 11 years behind it and 100% positive feedback - close to 200 sales and purchases... ebay and paypal banned me permanently... and they won't tell me exactly why, other than that they claim I have violated ebay's and paypal's policies because I started selling for others earning a commission... I have brought to their attention that ebay suggested on their forum that selling for others as a good way of making extra money... so how could I be violating their policies?! They're totally inflexible and unreasonable! Paypal, which is owned by ebay allows real scammers to use their system... I was ripped off by a credit card fraudster using paypal... the guy kept selling credit cards to people without delivering them and paypal didn't lift a finger to do stop him! Boycott paypal and ebay!
