I have been a member for many years - you must watch the reviews and pay close attention to them. I think that has kept me safe from bad sellers. I have had very few problems and when I have had problems - eBay has back up with either holding the seller accountable or allowing another repercussion. There have been many companies that have tried to copy this and have failed. I have heard horror stories about other sites so I believe that eBay is doing ok and a well-trusted site in keeping up with trying to keep scamming down to a minimum. :)

I have used this site and been a fan of JCpenny's in general. However, samples and their extra benefits are sometimes now often replaced or just not given at all. It used to be you would get 2 day flash shipping and now that has gone away. I believe it has gotten busier and lost like most businesses the accountability to keep business. I continue to shop but there are at times better prices and faster shipping at other sites now. :)

You think we could have some control that it is a government organization-- (wink wink) ;) However, it seems that it is far from true or that you would think the workers have some ethics. My experience in the last two years is that we will get tracking notifications that a package is delivered and nowhere to be seen! Lately, they now give you descriptions such as "front porch" when a house HAS NO FRONT PORCH" LOL! So when you try to call customer service - you get an automated computer that has it the only goal is to keep from a live person! Hahaha! Just a clue- I got to a live person only by asking for an agent which was NOT an option!;)
However - I wanted for longer than 30 minutes and I heard the music pause 3x which means that someone did come on but did put me back on hold so it did not look like I was holding for that long. Aka- if their system records time for holding calls. Maybe we need to put our tax dollars somewhere like into a private service or pay people who are being truthful. I will be happy to give my money to fed ex or ups from now on because for #1 I know that their customer service I have gotten in less than 5 minutes and #2. I will get some results plus they guarantee delivery. Wouldn't that be a novel idea if our post office actually would deliver its packages without US paying for tracking to keep them accountable for their losses and STILL not get their jobs done? :( LOL

Paypal used to be a system you can rely on to help you and have security to shop on the internet. Now it seems they will shut the door in your face (hypothetically) more than support your business. It seems what they were built on is now gone. I am guessing the many times they have been bought and sold have just proven they are a different business and don't expect them to back up buyers anymore. You will know why when you understand that there is a great part of it know that is outside of this country. Do your homework.:)

Paypal does have quite a stake now in China so fyi when you have your money there. " U.S. payments giant PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL) just defied the odds, gaining approval to acquire a majority stake in a Chinese payments company, and thus enter the country's vast digital payments marke".

Also recently- I tried to give them another chance because I was testing them since the "made improvements" and 2) was also seeing what those improvements have done.

I will add to show you- A- I have a small business that I used Paypal here quite successfully with no problems but change because of security issues and Paypal using Everyone's information which the keep NO secret about it.

As I applied to reopen my business account - certain things occurred that were quite interesting and disturbing. LOL

1) I have waited several days on an application with no results until I myself signed on to my PayPal here which I then was told to add a form.
2) I called PayPal which with no success a woman told me she in no words "the app" was being reviewed but she "KNEW NOTHING". Surprised? Nope even though I asked! LOL: D
3) The plot does thicken with and official email but very in-descriptive email about "they cannot verify" my very "all over social media, website, Federal ID and" PLLC corporation" that I just send them my bank account and my federal tax ID and to go to the resolution center for more information. I have had the account for years by the way and the only that has changed has been PayPal period.
4) NO--- My information is all there and yet when I look for any hope on PayPal as please look at the pictures--- it states verified or missing info, still looking at application and also "incompetences of PayPal" or bad links. It is like the wheel of death of service and there are too many choices to wait on their bad service and I think it is a sign to end it all very well and politely. Paypal- Goodbye!

Short story but not- the long of it is - PayPal is throwing out every week more and more emails of how it is changing its policies and does not know what it one side is doing. However, it is trying to charge you level nows for its incompetent service so you can pay for their "No level of service" so businesses beware.

So now I did change my review to two star to one which I do not do that lightly. I suggested there are plenty of process payment services out there and now Ebay jumping ship now who started PayPal in the first place. That should be a sign. :)

Several lawsuits have been filed against zillow for their estimate of houses. I have been told by Zillow that they "go on algorithms" without even seeing a house. Many realtors and other businesses have fought this because zillow has many other problems by owning other websites that question antitrust laws. Zestimate is often wrong a lot of the time and interferes with home buyers and sellers alike. It seems this has influenced all of us when we look at this estimate of a house. Guilty.

After several emails and showing all the houses around us that are $60k over ours and we have more sq footage and updates- they shrug their shoulders and claim algorithms. The kicker is a house down the street purchased for minimum. It shows that you may have not anyone with a high IQ using zestimate but just making it up as you go along if your go too is claiming an algorithm that is anonymous. Obviously, with all the reviews there is an issue and there are more unreliable reviews that do not have a basis unless they disclose what these algorithms that are being used and why they are not consistent.

Zillow did throw me a bone after I politely emailed them several times and I believed to make me go away that they did offer $10k more. Now we have sold this house, it does seem underestimate, and did it influence the sale? WE can never really know but I have a feeling it has but good thing I believe in God, not Zillow. ;D LOL

UPDATE: 2021 It seems after several complaints Zillow has changed its ways and used comps to now compare house values which now is an improvement. Damage has been done for many of us but now the housing market I believe is used to ignoring these Zestimates when it comes to buying and fighting for a house now. :) My review still stands as what I went through with Zillow as what we experienced.
