EBay stole my money!
I am livid I had placed an order for some Georgetown 11 Jordans. I place this order on April 15th I was told the package will take 5 to 10 business days my package supposably was delivered but once I got home from a hard days of work it was not there I contacted eBay they told me they would open a claim they did so and because their site shows it had been delivered I was denied my refund. I had only one mix up where somebody had stolen the previous package of mine that I had ordered from eBay after that they told me the post office would no longer be handling my deliveries I even had a post office lady show up to my house and say we will no longer be handling your deliveries and after that I had ordered two items off of ebay 1 pair of shoes and hair dye no problem before sign for and delivered after wasting my hundred and eighty dollars for a pair of shoes that I didn't receive I am out my money and I am out my shoes eBay customer service was rude I contact the seller rude as well I feel f***** over no one is helping me no one is even listening to what I have to say so I'm sitting here both items I don't bring my cash and shoes itself.
E bay phone number not working no more. Can not get ahold of e bay... out of control sellers... now... good luck with e bay... now a junk company...
I ordered an item from a seller and never received it. The seller wouldn't assist in resolving the issue with the shipping company even though they were a reputable seller. "eBay Buyer Protection" doesn't do anything for you. Here I am buying a TV from their site, never receiving a TV and they also, DO NOTHING TO HELP. All they say is that the case is resolved because the shipper shows that it was delivered. Well guess what. It wasn't...
So I'm out the money I spent on the TV. All I can do is issue a bad review for the lack of customer service, and I get an email from eBay saying the review has been removed. So basically, you cant trust the reviews on ebay as they'll just remove it if it's bad.
Here's the text from the mail.
Recently, you opened an eBay Buyer Protection case for Changhong 40" 1080p LED HDTV - LED40YC1700UA. We also received the feedback you left for the transaction, but it's been removed from the seller's feedback profile because of a recent decision on the eBay Buyer Protection case.

Ebay used to be great, now "Fee-bay" is a great place to be a buyer, and a terrible place to be a seller- the seller protection is almost nill...
Sold several Items today to have my payment with held untill seller reccives item
How is this lawfully allowed I have sold an item so should get payed befor I send out
Total joke
A site with great customer service and support, as well as, great customer satisfaction and poroducts.
You can't reach a human being, and for many an issue you need one.
They are simply put: HORRIBLE and should be removed from online
Ebay is a good site (ofcourse), the only problem is that the sellers aren't honest. Just make sure you do a quick research before ordering something.
Use to be a power seller there. Then with all the changes... DSRs... angry buyers... HIGH fees... I left.

Out of 10 orders in general I getting scammed twice. At least paypal return money after some time. Anything else is good, especially trusted sellers.
I enjoy the great deals on Ebsy, I'm retired and it makes life easier to order quality products, timely arrival!
I also ordered bike parts they never arrive on time. You have to do smth with your delivery service.
I have been buying items from EBAY since 12/18. I finally realised they are running a Criminal Enterprise. When I had issues, and was told by "Wendy" I won the case based on eBay's "bogus" money back guarantee pledge. Then I followed her instruction's not to contact the Corrupt Seller for three DAYS That SELLER who is know as member "thesixfees8017". Never received shipping label. Marco of ebay service told me thesixsfees told their investigators that i broke the clock. Well after a discussion, MARCO told me they must have lied and I should have won the case. I next called Wendy ebay resolutions. She was speechless and sorry i did not win. PAYPAL is involved. A customer of theirs, Cannot contact the. ELECTRONIC WALLS. In my case as well. PAYPAL Paid a Company from China that they are FULLY aware. It's a SCAM Co. That PAYPAL assists in Completeing the crime by using YOUR money to PAY FRAUD CO. Hence PAYPAL Conspiritor. Retired Law Enforcement Officer, to which I will Expose and hopefully the guilty will be shut down.
I have been an eBay seller and buyer for 10 years. When they went away from PayPal as their payment processor, everything went down hill. Not only have their fees gotten ridiculous, but they hold your money for ungodly periods of time. They place holds on your funds all the time as well. Most recently I sold a PSA 10 NFL card for $79. I received notification, purchased shipping label through eBay and put it in the mail. When I checked my funds, I discovered they were being held, and I needed to read my messages. I went back several months and found a message I missed that they needed me to submit a copy of my government issued ID and bank statement. So I did. The next day, eBay suspended my account with no explanation stating it could not be appealed. Furious, I called eBay's customer service and after 3 tries finally got a human in who knows what country. I was put on several holds and finally ended the call after 45 minutes of dead air. I called back later and spoke to another person, who after 30 minutes informed me that experts couldn't verify my ID was valid. IT'S A MAINE STATE ISSUED REAL ID! Clearly their EXPERTS aren't that smart. He told me they had to submit my information through social security or some whacked out excuse and that I might be paid in 6 months. Even told me it was illegal to pay me. Illegal? I provided a valid MAINE ID and my legitimate bank statement matching names and address. This is corporate theft, and for people like me, they can get away with it, because "who is going to sue them?" I'm now out a card, I wasn't compensated for it, and I cannot even access my account because they shut it off. How's that for a reputable company? EBay needs to be held accountable for this crap. They ship their customer service overseas, steal money, and hide behind federal laws. Well, if you aren't competent enough to verify a United States issued drivers license, then you shouldn't be allowed to do business in our country. I hope this company crashes and burns, because stealing money is stealing money even if you hide behind a fortune 500 label.
I have been an Ebay Seller off and on for years now. Last year I took it serious to help pay for my two daughters college. Ebay was a second job that became such a dissappointment. I am a great seller with over 1100 feedbacks most from this year and last year. I was a powerseller and a top rated seller. I worked hard to take care of my reputation and business. All it takes is less than one handful of people to lie or steal from you and you loose your power seller and top ratings. Lakelandgifts is my ID check it out feedback has been great, but if you as a buyer leave less than 5 stars than Ebay dings the seller and eventually limits the number of items you can sell. I have over 1100 satisfied customers, this doesn't matter its the tiny few people Ebay listens too. The majority getting thrown under the bus for the small minority. Ebay limited me on the number of items I can sell to only 70 per month. All because of a few and I mean few like 7 people in a one year total that left me less than 5 star ratings. I have called Ebay 3 times and NEVER have they satisfied me with this problem or any other problem. Even an outright lie from a buyer and proven as a lie did not matter. Ebay is NEVER for a seller. As a buyer you get all kinds of help etc. Without sellers there are no buyers. As more and more great sellers experience the new system changes which began in April 2011 and all the fee increases, you as a seller will see their bottom lines disappear. I have never in my life experienced a more greedy company than Ebay. They need to go back to their grass roots and remember where they came from. I am looking to sell somewhere else and its sad that many of my great customers are suffering because of Ebay's limits and changes. It not only hurts you the seller but eventually you the buyer in the long run. With the new fee increases Ebay and Paypal are taking over 15% of your total selling price plus shipping and don't forget the crazy insertion fees. I enter everything into Quicken to see my bottom line, and it has decreased tremendously. I need to sell elsewhere I hear Ebid.net is catching on, if thats so may God Bless them. Thanks and I hope this helps you as a seller looking to sell items online.
Answer: I would never buy a used car without seeing it in person and having it checked out.
Answer: Ebay is a den of thieves. Even Ebay is evasive on complaints to answers. When looking for items, be sure to be fully informed to what you are shopping and use all that knowledge to cypher the listing, even then have found those that list items to be evasive on answers. Avoid ebay if possible!
Answer: For their own purposes and to protect dishonest sellers. I was once an avid EBay shopper, but now avoid EBay. Buyer protection no longer exists. You buy at your own risk.
Answer: Ebay sells nothing. You are dealing with private sellers. Some are good, some are not. The best way to determine this is to check the feedback. I personally never buy from anyone who has a feedback lower than 90%. 96% is considered bad, by Ebay. Take that with a grain of salt. Ebay management is nuts.
Answer: If you haven't already learned the hard way that Ebay is just pure bullshit when it comes to the sellers rights. When someone wants to send it back for any reason other than it doesn't work as described, you will be footing the bill. Not only will you lose the money you paid to ship it to them, Ebay will offer to provide a return label for them at your expense. Yep, that's right. They will bill you the price of the label if you don't provide it. Either way, you are paying for it to get back to you. It's get better. You can't leave negative feedback for the buyer either. It's not an option NO MATTER
Answer: Not to me! It's my main shopping tool! I look for good deals and free shipping!
Answer: Yes. You are right. All what people told you are correct. Don't trust ebay and the seller on ebay. Amazon much better than them. But anyway the best way to buy electronics from the local stores or official stores.
Answer: This depends on the seller of the item - carefully check their feedback and trust you intuition if you have doubts try another seller you feel safer with...
Answer: Hi Tom, As for reviews, you don't get them. It's called feedback. When you buy an item, the seller will probably leave feedback after you leave feedback for them. I hope that answers your question. Nancy
Answer: Depends on the seller. I wouldn't buy anything off ebay because there a crappy company.
