So I bought a 30,000 mile rebuilt titled Cadillac out of a dealer in Florida Discount Luxury Motors. I got a car that wasn’t as described! I received a title that can’t be transferred. It has been jumped from numerous dealers over and over on the back names crossed out. In fact, they had to cross out the last sale and then write my name over the top of it, the seller has never completed the sale, even though I contacted eBay, told them I had a receipt for a wire transfer. The card has been paid for. I had it in my possession. They won’t make the seller to complete the sale so I can leave negative feedback. I think they actually get extra money out of the seller for doing something like this.
I have also complained to the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General in their state so when you read them reviews on eBay, don’t trust any of them, especially when eBay says they have a satisfaction guarantee on automobile purchases. They don’t highlight the point that if you have a rebuilt title, they won’t even guarantee that you get the same car.

On Dec 3rd, we paid $520.00 to Ebay FSBO and was guaranteed by Jacob ** that he would get our RV sold within the 9 days when it goes live on their website. We were also told that someone one would check in with us every couple of days. We heard nothing from anyone, until Josh ** called us & feed us a bunch of crap that he would get our RV SOLD. He talked us into another $372.00 on Dec. 16th. He told both myself & my wife that they would have better customer service & they would have our Motorhome sold quickly because they had BUYERS lined up to buy it. Well, it's now March 8th & we have never heard from anyone about how the sale is going. Jacob ** & Josh ** don't care about you or your vehicle, once they get your money you are a GHOST. PEOPLE WHO READ THIS, DO NOT USE EBAY FSBO TO SELL YOUR VEHICLE OR RV. THEY ARE A RIP-OFF A TOTAL OF $892.00 DOLLARS WORTH OF LIES.

I ordered a part from Ebay motors, the part was wrong, but the seller refused to take it back, Ebay Motors closed the return request as soon as i got the email stating this seller refused to take it back, no explanation from Ebay or the seller, seller's name 'fellcomfortzone', I am out $52.43, and can't use this part, so anyone reading this review please remember this seller's title and please do not buy anything this person has for sell on Ebay, I definitely will never order from Ebay ever again, I just hope people reading realizes this before they lose money like I did.

Heard quite a few great things about eBay, but honestly never bought anything from them. Was given the suggestion by a male friend of mine to go onto eBay motors to purchase two car parts that I need for one of my vehicles. Made an account and downloaded the app to my phone, just to get an email that they permanently banned/suspended my account due to suspicious activity all I’m trying to figure out is what type of suspicious activity what could I have done by downloading the app and making an account to raise suspicion? I just thought it was very inconsiderate and kind of childish, because they had all of my information, who gives their real contact information just to make an account for scamming or to do something illegal? It’s OK I accept and will take my business elsewhere.

Customer service is non existent. Issues with misleading product descriptions and "no refunds allowed" is a nightmare to get a refund even with the 30days policy. Product said "cosmetic issues, that all" They say " 30 guarantee, and we will quickly get your money back" But that is not true, with no customer service agents; the process is time consuming and a challenge. This has now happened twice to me. I will not be using this service for anymore parts or accessories. elusive customer service

Got ripped off by a mainland Chinese seller, autotriminusa, for $29. Purchased a chrome exhaust tip for my 21 Highlander. The part was installed properly as evidenced by the photographs provided to the seller at their request. The exhaust tip fell off during the test drive and I was not able to find out when I retraced my route. The part was defective and poorly designed. Ebay Motors refused to give me a refund. Do not buy from Ebay Motors or autotriminusa.

Bought a car few weeks ago off eBay. It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Turns out they don't deliver to your house, they need a big parking lot. So if you're wanting to buy an older car or 1 that needs work you're going to need to get a tow truck or someone to take you & drive behind you in case it breaks down. eBay said delivers to me. It does NOT in fact deliver to you. They won't tell you that though. No one at any point in time from buying about 2 weeks ago to now has told me. Just found out now from delivery team. They thought I was told that already. Apparently it's not uncommon for eBay to do this & even messing with the driver's too. If I would have known this from the start, I wouldn't have bought a car off eBay.

So I am 23. I just started college and I used my refund to purchase a car so I seen this vehicle online and contacted the seller and they told me to go to eBay (red flag) so I thought since she reassured me that I will receive my order that this was a legal and legitimate business. So after I sent over my payment I told the seller and notified eBay.
They emailed me back saying congratulations they received my payment and they’ll have it ready for shipping so after 4 hours later the seller contacted me via email where we had been communicating saying she was unaware of shipping insurance and I would get a vehicle and a refund of 1000 because that’s how much the insurance shipping cost. She told me she already have received the payment So I told her I don’t have that kind of money and I was unaware. "Is there a way you can just refund me the payment," and she can tell eBay she wants her vehicle back because it hasn’t been shipped. Now I can’t get ahold of anyone. Is there someone that knows what I can do and who can help me please? And they never sent a receipt.

Received wrong part and can't get it returned or refund. Keeps telling me they see no purchase made and won't connect me to a live agent. Keeps telling me to contact seller which I have with no satisfaction. Try to file a complaint and keeps telling me the same thing. I think they are a scam and just help the scammers selling items take your money.

I purchase a skid steer on eBay, like they said money back guarantee, it look like a internal operation since both eBay and the scammer know what to do to get away from what they promise at the website saying it is a secure site, pure bull, so far nobody is responsible for the $9100.00 hard earning money that nobody is responsible for.

I bought a 96 Toyota 4runner after I was told it is a good truck and has rear differential problems, noise. If they do me right I will take this down. I am in an area where it is hard to find vehicles for sale too far and wide. I see lots more bad reviews on eBay Motors so probably won't matter to them much anyway.

I have sold thousands of dollars on eBay for over a decade, but no longer. They sided with a cheating buyer. I cancelled my account. I don't need them. Loyalty to customers should be paramount, but they forgot that.

Seller (automotorshop). I placed order and paid for order in full. Seller email and said there was error in pricing and that I had to pay $39.10 or they would cancel order. After contacting Ebay and seller both did nothing to resolve the issue. Today I received a refund which I was not looking forward to. I was looking for a bumper. Ebay never contacted me to resolve the issue nor did automotorshop. If you look at all the listing of bumpers on just one page they are all listed by automotorshop and china company of front company for china. That seems to be a conflict of interest on ebay's part. Anyway I have cut all ties with Ebay. For the rest that have accounts with Ebay and this china connection good luck.

I have been with eBay ever since it got started. At first it was ok but here anymore not good. All these members from China pretending the item is in the US but it's not really. Not only do they send junk that breaks within a week but create other accounts in case one of the accounts are banned. Ebay doesn't get rid of these sellers as they are eBay's little piggybank. I can understand buying from China and flipping the prices for profit but be honest about the item location. Anymore I look at ebay if I can't find it anywhere else.

I ordered a sensor with eBay Motors. Supposedly it got delivered on the day they said but I never got it. I contacted the seller and they basically said it was delivered, check everywhere or go to your post office. This is NOT my job to do your research! I did my part which was pay for the product and look in my mailbox. Then I try to get help from ebay and they are telling me I have to wait another week before they can actually step in and possibly return my money. I DON'T THINK SO EBAY! I will dispute with my bank. I will never buy ANYTHING from ebay again. They are TRASH

Ebay is sending me a message saying my account is suspended, (I have no account with ebay) apparently I am a banned seller, I tried to contact them, They won't back their decision with any proof of my ever selling anything on their platform because they have no proof. I have bought on Ebay countless numbers of times in the past. The merchandise I received was acceptable. I paid with my Visa card, and waited for the update providing a tracking number, but now no communication, no respect, no customer courtesy and no right to appeal. Buyers and sellers need to beware. I would not mind their decision to suspend me if I had an account to suspend, I also would not mind if they could give me some factual data to see, but no! They make the claim and that is final

Tried to place and order with the asking price. Site would only let me bid. When I got the email of their counter offer, it only let me purchase it at the full price meaning I wasted two extra days for the same amount. In addition, to submit a review it wants the company name yet that is nowhere to be found.

In March of 2022, I tried ordering a high-output alternator from Amp Lightning Alternators through eBay Motors. I'll be brief. It was for a 2002 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson edition. At first, all was cordial. I received my item in a timely manner, even with the pigtail upon request with no hassles. I got back in town from contracting to have it put in and my mechanic informs me that the casing is 1-1/2 inch too big. So, I informed Amp and they said to send it back; this was around October. When attempts were made to follow up, the mood of the conversation changed from courteous to nonchalant. Today, I am out $400 AND an alternator.
I understand the policies of return and all, but if I'm told something, I follow up. By the way, I don't know ANYONE's name. I tried giving them my information to talk the issue over....and I'm still waiting. The company has decent ratings, but just not from myself. Everything was professional until the conversation seemed to where no one there was communicating as it related to communicating with me. I hope this helps!

I have "sold" the same vehicle twice with both sales being cancelled due to buyers who changed their mind or had an invalid email address and would not pay. The only penalty for the buyer is a flag gets set. The seller gets nothing other than a free listing for seven days. As a result all watchers are lost with the new listing. I find this platform unreliable and will not use it again for automobiles.

There's a scam for a 2000 Itasca SunCruiser RV on RV Trader. Looked good so I contacted the seller. Someone got back immediately saying it was their aunt and gave me their email. Emailed some person named Leslie **, a scammer (probably not even real) saying her husband passed away, blah blah blah. Just like some other reviewers here said the same. Told me she "relocated" for her new job far away in MT and wouldn't be there in person - eBay Motors would handle everything. I instantly knew something didn't sound right. Listen y'all, use your intuition, don't ignore it. If something sounds too good to be true it likely is. Don't rush to buy and regret it later!!! Take your time.

I made an eBay account in order to sell my vehicle. I followed the instructions and saved my add. I was then asked to list my add. I did so, with a response that my account was suspended. I tried for 2 days to contact someone, at many different times throughout the day. (during their business hours) Neither online chat or phone would work. After 2 days, I was informed via email that I owed $79 dollars for the add, I paid it and it showed posted on my eBay account the next day. I attempted to list the add, that was saved, and was told my account was suspended. I was finally able to get a hold of some via chat, as the phone option said it was still not available, and they told me my account was suspended. I said for what?
They said I owed $79.00. I said, my account shows it posted and cleared and is at zero balance. Try again eBay. Then they said, it is suspended because of reasons they can't disclose. Keep in mind I have never used this account before, and I am trying to sell my vehicle that is owned, and clear title under my name. I also used their listing software to make the add and pay. I then told them, fine, refund my money. I was told there was no money showing. Now I was no longer happy. I screenshotted my bank account and my eBay account and showed them the 79 dollar payment.
They then said, my account is suspended and that is final. I went through 3 different chat session before I got someone that said they will fill out a refund for me. If I don't see the 79 dollar refund in three days, I am calling a lawyer. I have never used eBay, and after my first attempt, I will be deleting my account and never using them again. Worst company, and hope someone starts a class action, as I will be first in line.

I paid from Hawaii based bank for Hawaii based address and they sent to a 14 yr old address that has been deleted from account for 13yrs. Now eBay refused to help me get my parts and address they say they delivered to is a offsite dump for commercial refuse. So where did he put it if delivered in a dump where it will never be found. I think delivery guy saw mistake and stole package and sold and they are covering up for him. No one just places a packages in a dump and writes it off as delivered.

I ordered a special kind of soap, I put my order in January, 3rd. So they told me I was going to get the product on January, 27th so I never received my product. The next thing I trying to get my refund back. From eBay and they giving me a difficult time. So the next thing I gonna do is file a complaint against them, number 1, I can't get to a representative so I can discuss with them about my product. And getting my refund back. Early today I spoken to a fake phony representative, and he sounded like a scammer. He didn't sound like he was professional. So he wanted me to do all these things and he started to make me frustrated. Before I hung the phone up on him, I said to him I am going to get my refund back. Then he had the nerve to send me a text message. Using the ** word. Now I said how unprofessional is that. That's how I knew he wasn't a real eBay, agent cause he was using discrepancies.
But when I file a complaint against them. I don't know his name, but I can add his phone number. On file eBay is a terrible online company, I will never refer nobody to them. They are a waste of time. eBay doesn't deliver your product on time. I dealt with them one time. And that'll be my last time dealing with them. EBay is not good and professional, like Amazon. Amazon, is a real good professional. Company all eBay, wants to do is scam people. And take they damn money. I hope and wish eBay, go out of business. Cause it sounds 2 me they are a full of scammers. They can't touch amazon, I will give eBay a one low star. That's all they going to get from me. That company is terrible and a waste of time.

I found a camper for $1400. DEBRA said she lost her husband to a heart attack 2 months prior and moved back to her home town of Minneapolis. She wanted to get rid of it because it made her think of her husband. Ebay Motors sent me a email saying I had to buy gift cards worth 1400.00 and send them. I even called the FAKE number, in which, someone answered. Sounded all legit. I said that I'm not protected if I send gift cards. She said Ebay would honor them and that when I buy them they could start the delivery process. Gift cards to purchase something that big did not make sense to me so I googled eBay motors and found all of these similar reviews. So glad I did. Scam!

Bought a car on eBay. I have sold numerous collector cars worldwide, never an issue. This car was presented as having a rebuilt engine and transmission. After purchase seller (Alex ** aka Alda Logistics) never provide any paperwork as promised. Upon arrival I looked underneath car, was obvious drivetrain never touched. Pulled valve cover, years of sludge. The engine has been rebuilt with a can of spray paint (overspray all over upon inspection). Put on a claim to Ebay VPP. They said engine "damage" was not covered. I tried to say this was not damage, but misrepresentation. They said too bad, they call it damage??? During conversation rep at VPP (represented as an insurance company) told me he called ebay and they said they would not cover, period. This means VPP is not independent as they imply, but literally just another office within Ebay.
To make things worse after I posted negative feedback they removed it. When I contacted them they said they talked to the seller and he told them he had given me a refund. When I told them he had not sent a refund and why would they not ask me first they admitted "mistake" but said once removed they could not repost. Seller is still selling cars on Ebay as clazziccarz and likely misrepresenting the dozen or more cars he currently has listed. Ebay cares more about listing and selling fees than the buyer. NEVER BUY A CAR ON EBAY MOTORS BELIEVING THEY WILL HONOR THE VPP AS THEY PORTRAY IT!!

I purchased a car on eBay. It has undisclosed problems that cost $2400 to correct. I filled a warranty claim and I couldn't get a response from the third party insurance.

Their service is terrible and their advertising very misleading. They charge a fee even if you don't sell it or cancel the listing. I also was charged a fee when a vehicle did not sell but someone had mistakenly tagged it as sold, locking my listing. I had to create a new listing, but then they charged me the selling fee for the first listing too! I will never use eBay Motors again!
