eBay

Ebay has done more for promoting worldwide competition which has lowered prices and improved service than any other entity. Buy a watch battery? Get a 5 pack delivered to your mailbox for less than half of what it would cost you for one after taking an hour to drive to the store. Garage door opener? Sky lantern? Chanel purse? Printer? Cell phone case or charger?

Buyers: only buy from experienced sellers with excellent feedback and use PayPal.
Sellers: great for selling rare or unusual items, especially if they are not produced any longer.

Ebay's Customer Protection Policy is very good. They are very aggressive at protecting their customers from fraudulent buyers & sellers: (for example - item/s not as described, defective items, late delivery/no delivery situations etc). As a buyer, I've had to contact their customer service dept. four times in the space of approx. Six months. They've always compensated me accordingly. Kudos to them for maintaining such a secure, stress-free marketplace.

Used eBay for over 2 years. Listed two items and even before the auction was over they charged my account almost 300.00, this site has become a joke. Glad I was able to shut down my account before anymore of these "new fees" hit my bank. If your selling on eBay be very careful, they not only charge their selling fees but now have more fees lol.A Legit scam lol. Good for you guys. Gotta make that money somehow I guess.

Bought something on eBay for the first time. I was just shocked. The delivery of my product was delayed for 8 days, and was damaged during delivery (I will add a photo)! I applied for a refund, but I was refused without explaining the reasons for the refusal! I bought a product on Amazon a thousand times and if something was wrong, I returned it without any problems in one day! Never Buy on Ebay! I can't believe people can cheat like that now! This is my worst online shopping experience!

Don't use! Promises not kept by ebay itself! Selling locally isn't even worth it! I spent my whole life on this only to realize again that others were only paid.
You will not be refunded, even after doing their own "footwork"

Ebay is a HUGE collection of independent and big name retailers in a multi-formatted online shopping experience. Just about everything under the sun is available here. New, used, refurbished, open box, for parts etc... Its all here. A little practice with the search filters should find you what you need fast. Auction and Buy it Now are the main formats, though a recent feature to "make an offer" seems to be gaining popularity. Many of the listings offer free shipping, those that charge are often reasonable. Speeds can vary greatly, though I've found if the seller is in the US, they frequently beat Amazon. Best strategy: read the descriptions carefully, and check the seller's rating. Make sure you're dealing with a legit seller. A little practice can get you some amazing deals!

Ebay steals money from sellers and justifies the charges
Anyway they can, my accounts have been charged countless times without rhyme or reason, complete trash... I haven't even sold anything and some bs charges will be taken out of my checking account... somebody should be in jail for this

Buyers can file fraudulent claims and receive refund and keep item. Then eBay charges you $20 dispute fee. Customer service is nonexistent. Sellers cannot leave negative feedback for buyers even when they don't pay. Facebook Marketplace from now on.

If you are selling on eBay beware. They only protect the seller & will charge you their fee plus return fees if buyer backs out. It's a scam that sellers pay for & buyers get free stuff. This should be illegal.

I am giving it an OK. Why? Because eBay has been making it harder for sellers to even last on there, I am not sure how many times I have been suspended due to odd reasons. I sold a couple of dollar store type items and I get a message saying something about not liking my business practices? Like really? What does that mean?

So getting back on has been a pain, luckily I ran across a website that a friend referred to me called www.auctionessistance.com
Based off talking to one of their associates, they really know their stuff just off one conversation, so I have been working with them just recently which is helping me tremendously.

But as far as selling & all the fiasco that is going down, I give it a 3 star since they are the only game in town for bringing loads of traffic.

Size has now been removed on the left hand toolbar when looking for clothing. I can't work out why. Size is the most important criteria for choosing clothing however to eBay that is obviously not a concern as it was removed over 2 months ago and despite repeated complaints it has not be reinstated.
Why would you remove a search feature from a search engine to make searching more difficult particularly when this feature has been present ever since using eBay in 2008. Will be shopping elsewhere in the future. Suspect some marketing ploy so people have look over many more items of clothing to find what they want thus possibly increasing sales. A big Turn off.
