eBay

After receiving a defective eBay item from China I returned it per the sellers shipping instructions.  Although I had both shipping and customs receipts for the return shipment the selled did not provide a refund and eBay denied my claim for a refund.  Perhaps this is because I did not have delivery confirmation receipt (very expensive when shipping to China and not even available using the seller's prescribed class of shipment) or perhaps it is because eBay has put a lot of effort into establishing a foothold in China and doesn't want to jinx it.  In any event, eBay provided no reason whatsoever for denying the claim for refund.  So if you're not willing to lose the cost of an item from China (plus return shipping cost), think twice about bidding or buying.

I listed a car for sale on ebay.  Within hours it was sold!  Unfortunately the buyer paid with a counterfeit check.  I was fortunate enough to catch this before shipping the car.  I made a report to ebay.  They still billed me $127.00 for selling the car and billed my credit card.  It has been a month and I still do not have my money back from ebay.  All I can say is that this is a company that seems to be run for scammers by scammers.

Ebay sellers work very hard to keep up with all the demands from customers & ebay's rules. Many customers abuse the system to take advantage of sellers trying to keep a good clean record. It is very hard to keep a 100% positive Feedback record, almost imposible.

 I would shop here again

eBay condones bad business practices by sellers and encourages giving positive feedback to bad sellers, therefore making the feedback system meaningless.  It puts bad sellers in the same position as the really good ones; they all have near perfect feedback.  This makes it very difficult to judge a seller's real record, as the flaws and mistakes rarely show in the feedback. This is very unfair to those sellers who are truly above the norm.

eBay's customer service team is absolutely worthless. The average IQ level of eBay's customer service reps is about zero. They actually remove legitimate negative feedback if the seller has a high eBay rating and complains to them about it.  They don't even notify or send an explanation to the buyer.

eBay is about profits, it is not about customer service. eBay consistently encourages sellers to continue with their bad business practices.

As a small seller on ebay i've noticed over my i'd say 10-15 years as a member ebay has pushed the small seller down.  I can't speak for the bigger 'stores' on ebay because i've never had all that much to sell, im not a business. I've never seen a   Read full review...

I am a seller and not impresses with ebay's policies on items that are undelivered.  Just because either Australia Post is slack and don't deliver items or in my case I had a buyer who was a scammer and tried to refunds from at least 4 other sellers in a 6 month period, ebay or paypal don't care and still demanded I refund her the money.  They don't look at individual cases and don't care that this buyer is ripping everyone off.  I am not a happy buyer at all.  Also quite interestingly I found out that ebay actually owns paypal so they get double the amount of profit from all the fees they charge.

Wanted to buy a new Macbook to help with work. Didn't really want to make the investment on a Brand New one. Went to ebay and found exactly what I was looking for while saving about $300 off the new price. Got a Macbook Pro 13" with a better OS, more memory and better processor than my 07 Macbook.

Very pleased with purchasing process and the seller that I purchased from. Great service from ebay as always.

E-Bay is a tremendous resource for anyone who wants to buy or sell products on-line. It’s one of the top 10 internet sites in the U.S. and the opportunities for finding what you want or for disposing of what you no longer need are endless.   Read full review...

The eBay is a wonderfulland for BUYERS that has all protection from eBay but - BE AWARE IF YOU ARE SELLER - you have almost  NO RIGHTS. ( Few rights are given by eBay's Policy - but you will figure out it will not apply for usual cases).
A new eBay member without any feedback can give you a NEGATIVE FEEDBACK and just go away - you have NO RIGHTS TO HAVE IT REMOVED - no matter if you have 10 YEARS as eBay member - your word means NOTHING when we are talking about FEEDBACKS.
Beside this, you may be able to easily list your items for sale, you will have a good customer service and you will pay the fees and comissions that I evaluate as HIGH.

Ebay buyers Beware!!!!   Ebay has just put a new policy in place for anyone who sells on Ebay. If you are charged shipping on any item you will be able to leave the feedback on shipping. What ebay is doing is making the sellers charge the shipping in the price of the item so Ebay can get and extra cut of money. Before you thought the seller was getting the extra $$$ for any difference in shipping cost for some sellers that was the case but not all. Basically, now your gonna pay more for the item and not get the oportunity to give a review of the shipping. Ebay makes more and you have to pay more. Try eBids, it sounds like its going to be the new Ebay of online selling and buying.

I feel it's my duty to let potential ebay sellers to be extremely smart BEFORE selling an object on ebay. I recently sold a notebook. How little did I know about the (hidden seller) fees, I'd be charged after my item was sold. I lost $77 between ebay and (their affiliate) paypal.

You cannot beat eBay's prices, although they basically have no customer service, if you are looking to find something on the cheap, eBay is a great place to do it.

I don't know what is with all the bad reviews on here about ebay. I have bought 75 items off of ebay in the past couple of years, and never had any problems. First of all, when you are shopping on ebay look for a tating of 99.7 or higher. When it says 99.7 chieck the feedback first to see how many nefitives there are and read complaints, if there are more than 30 - 50, your setting your self up for trouble. I live in a city that has barely any stores or products, so ebay is the perfect place for me to find items i cannot find in my city, as well they are so much cbeaper on ebay because i live in canada and the us prices are cheaper. I've also recently became a seller on ebay and have sold 7 items and all is giong well.

I have bought a variety of items on eBay, from many different sellers, and it is very it or miss.  But at this point, it is mostly miss and I am done with it.  I have bought vintage video games here because it is impossible to find certain things in person, and several times I have received games claimed to be in 'excelent condition' or 'guaranteed to work' that are far from the discription.  They have a 'dispute console', but it gives you such a huge run-around that it is totally not worth it.  First, you have to send a couple emails with the seller to work it out.  Obviously, the degenerate, dishonest seller does not want to work it out so you wait forever for the replies.  Then if that doesn't work, they pass the buck to pay-pal and you get the same run-around.  It's totally pointless to use their dispute console.  Basically, don't buy anything from here if you expect it to be in good (working) condition.  The honest sellers are too far and few between to bother

My worst customer service experience. EBay requires you to contact them via on-line chat. In my experience it took 4-5 times longer then contacting a representative via phone. EBay rep via chat told me that I can not contact EBay via phone. I had to be transferred by a PayPall representative in order to speak with an EBay rep. When I told EBay rep about my chatting experience and how I was told that I cannot contact EBay via phone, the rep on the phone told me it is EBay policy and chat-reps cannot give out EBay customer service number. Really??? Again, my WORST WORST WORST customer service experience!
