eBay Sellers Complaints

Car scam: individual advertises a vehicle on sites listing used cars and then tries to run the scam about the car being sold by Ebay, that he is actually in the military in the U.K. People like this should be ashamed of themselves.

used their site to sell 3 items and showed photos of items and total to do so was 17.40 which was paid in full and now they say it was advertised again and owe them 4.70. got a email saying it is now over 5.00 owed to them and I cancelled my account but they keep raising the amount even though it is a mistake on their part and in the process of doing bad to my credit rating even though they were paid in full. company which my credit card is with cancelled my card protecting me and said Ebay is at fault

ebay is an outright scam. it used to be that you could relist for free to get an item sold. however now they trick people with new fees and deceptive practices. i made the attempt to sell an item. you cant even have any banking information on your profile. since they now say that means you've agreed to automatic withdrawls. when i signed up this is not so. i set all fees to be billed to paypal so much hassle and i feel like i've been scammed. ebay is not a newspaper it is an auction site period. they imply such guarantees and never hold up them. you cannot even get the free second chance credit without a fight. then they try to charge you more money for this supposed free chance.

ebays policys state that you should not bid unless you intend to buy, it i a legal binding contract one you bid and especialy if you win. i recently sold an item, item listing closed with one winner, was asked buy the buyer via email to cancle the transaction sopositly because he became ill, 2 hrs later he wants it shiped to canada, 1 day later wants it to go to kentucky. any way i reported it to ebay as being suspicious, never got a reply, now i finaly get a reply from ebay to ship it to the buyers new address,

it has been paid for, ok i did that, shipped it via fed ex with tracking # and signature required, checked paypal, money is there, but it has a hold placed on it by ebay. ebay says once it ships with proof it ships they release the hold, gave them proof ie. the tracking # and date sent. money still on hold. now ebay says it is pay pal holding the money. pay pal asures me it is ebay that has to release the money.

i still have not recieved my payment. other ebayers have been complaining about the same things happning to them. somebody needs to do some thing about this company. sellers are selling legit items and not getting paid untill ebay feels like paying them and charging all kinds of fees that just are becoming overwelming. for instance sell an item for 50.00 ...listing fee aprox 5, final value value feeup to 8, now just to get your money. xfer fee from pay pal . bottom line, your lucky to walk away with 15 bucks

Ebay listed their services as an "auction" the buyers bid and the bid is supposed to be binding. Well it isn't. I sold a set of bracelets to a man. He made the payment and as soon as he got the item he said the bracelets were bent. I asked him to provide me with photos he wouldn't. I asked him to take the package to the post office for verification of damage, he wouldn't. He insisted he get a discount or he would send the item back.

Paypal would not review any documentation I had regarding the condition or value of the item. They told him to send them back. I got a box of scrape metal. I am out the 1k for the bracelets and the 28 shipping.

Ebay question whether a ring I was trying to sell was genuine. They deleted my listing. I sent them close up pictures and links to the Tiffany and Co web site to prove it was genuine. All that did was start a process of threats and useless communications for the "customer support" department. I have never been treated so rudely in my entire life. I have deleted my E-bay account and will never use them again.

My Godson wanted a portable DVD player so I searched eBay. What came up was Item along with a picture of and a description of "NEW 2009 PORTABLE LCD DVD PLAYER". What she sent me was a CD of WHOLESALE LIST. The expense was 22.95 and I feel it was misrepresented and therefore fraudulent.

I purchased a cell phone on ebay with this buyer this tkfsolutions, the phone is defective right out of the box, and he will not refund or send a new phone, the phone locks up and freezes, and he says I should have not reset the uniy as the manual states I should do. if this were to happen. it is 250 hard earned dollars, that in this economy hurts.

Patti of Burbank, CA April 3, 2009

Bought item from him on Ebay 1.21.09, wasnt happy with item, he refused to refund me, I left him negative feedback on 2.11.09. 4 weeks later I started to receive magazines that i didnt order. He also tried to enlist me into the marines,signed me up for a book club, and forged my name. Thus far he has done this to 2 other people besides myself. I have plenty of evidence that proves he is person who did this to me.
