I've bought lots of stuff from ebay. Everything came in 1 piece and exactly like it was described. Maybe it was just me buying stuff from people with high reviews. I really like the bidding system offered by eBay and the fact that I can negotiate prices with the seller. I will continue to buy more stuff, but just from people with high reviews, to avoid any possible problems. In my opinion, judging by its history, ebay revolutionized the global market and helped millions of people buy whatever they were looking for. Same happened with me.

My husbands and I have always liked ebay, actually loved it! Then one day paypal freezes are account for buying shoes on ebay. I thought, really? We called twice to paypal and the staff is rude. They won't give us back our paypal balance now. We sold things on ebay and the balance in our paypal is ours. This is ridiculous. Avoiding ebay at all costs now and letting others know to do the same. If this paypal thing is an ebay company, this doesn't say much for ebay. Back to Amazon, it is so much nicer to buy on Amazon, ebay has become a mess because of paypal.

Did some business on ebay through my relative's account: opened my own separate account this year. Due to my relative's account's restrictions, my new, clean account was restricted. After 2 days of speaking to ebay, (in India) I've been told the computer algorithm makes the judgments and the accounts will stay connected. SINS OF ONE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER: THIS IS FUNDAMENTALISM. I am a seperate person with a separate paypal & address.

I don't know how someone talking in English so hard to understand ( very heavy Chinese and totally doesn't know what the heck she's talking about and had a job at Ebay)
Specially in the higher rank than customer services. Customer service gave me information and she gave me a difference information. Her skill doesn't qualified at all as my aspect in ESL's level but landed a job there. For me it seem like she bought that seat at Ebay. Some others I spoke with also had very poor English in Asia as well but sitting in Ebay and Paypal offices. I was think, that I called a country outside USA, somewhere in Asia

I am not happy with my experience here. I usually order from amazon but decided to give this a try because of how cheap the prices are. It has taken over 3 weeks and my books have not arrived. I called customer service and the representative pretty much told me to wait it out. I mentioned I had an email that said my books have been delivered and my rental days have started counting down but he did not answer the question why. I would rather pay more on amazon or college book renter and actually get my books

I am a full-time eBay seller. I have several employees. The new buyer protection that eBay offers is second-to-none with online re-selling. If you don't get exactly what you ordered, you are refunded. Easy as that. As a seller, I appreciate that my buyers are given that peace of mind. It also holds sellers to a higher standard. The returns processes are being upgraded. Every seller is now required to provide tracking. The site grades sellers based on experience. It's becoming a whole new experience, and I am excited to be a part of it.

I am reviewing Ebay as a seller; Ebay.com charges a much higher seller fee than one would think based on their advertising. They seem as though they are letting you list your items for free, but at the end of the month, you get charged a sellers fee, which is not clearly laid out in my opinion. I say this to allow someone else to beware of this. I do appreciate the way they protect buyers and I like their privacy they offer and the avenues for communication between buyer and seller.

Purchased a college textbook, but turned out seller didn't have in stock. How does that happen? Half.com sent email saying refund should be immediate, and offered me the opportunity to purchase the same book again at a higher price with a discount that equated to $5. Because I paid with Paypal using a checking account, a hold was put on my refund. Even when my payment to Paypal cleared my bank, Paypal wouldn't release the hold on my refund, which I had never experienced before. Busy moms price shopping for college textbooks don't have time for this Half.com!

I used to LOVE eBay. But then they started letting businesses take over. It turned from a cool way to get rid of your old stuff. To a commercialized business marketplace. Fees went up, traffic stopped coming and frankly it takes me MONTHS to make a sale. The only plus is that they NOW allow so many free listings per month but then they take such a huge cut that I don't feel like I've made much of a profit. The site is for businesses now. (yard)seller's like me can't compete >_< they should separate the site, one for personal sellers and one for 'businesses'

Too many restrictions. Too many fees = ebay
