I placed an order 01/23/2023 a clay cooking pot for 42.2. Did not received on timely manner so I purchased item elsewhere, emailed Ebay to cancel my order as I have yet to receive it stating product delivered on 02/09/23 which I never received, and they denied my claim. Refused to return my money. I have been customer for many years now. May have to think about it. Very bad customer service. Think before you buy.

A buyer wanted to return an item he bought on my eBay. It was a high-end speaker that I bought brand new from Best Buy. I have a no-return policy on items I sell. eBay charge me $130 for shipping and another $54 For processing the sale. The buyer wanted to return the item claiming it was a fake. I don’t think Best Buy sells fake items. eBay took the side of the buyer and charged my account for the full selling amount plus shipping. Now I am out the money and the speaker. This is not fair.

Have been waiting 4 weeks for a refund on eBay. The item was never delivered, and the seller refuses to issue a refund. eBay has been of no help whatsoever. eBay has allowed the seller extension after extension delaying my refund and has put my case against the seller on hold. Would not recommend the company for buying or selling.

eBay international shipping service is a total scam and let me explain why. When a seller posts a product and places a shipping price, that price is supposed to be quite accurate to cover the costs of shipping the item, but lately what you will see is when you search for a product, in the result list you see a product price + a shipping price. BUT....when you enter the product page you suddenly see that the shipping price is now exorbitantly 3 times what it was initially, but WHY? This is Ebay international shipping service.... Ebay provides a courier pickup so that the seller never really has to do anything but package the item. But wait so why pay the seller the shipping fees???? This is the scam, Ebay basically charges you an obscene amount of money to ship the item to you while also giving the seller the shipping fee that he charged you initially. Both the seller and Ebay win!!!!
Ebay's response when I presented the situation to them was that I can always ask the seller to relist the item and use an alternate shipping option, basically transferring the responsibility to the seller, but why in the same hill would the seller go through all that work of having to arrange shipping, relist the item and lose out on the shipping fee for the buyer???? LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, NOW YOU KNOW THAT EBAY HAS OFFICIALLY LOST ITS MIND. I am stating now, any seller using eBay international shipping has lost me as a buyer. I high recommend you do the same otherwise we paved the way for legitimate scamming. Ps. If anyone wants the conversation I had with the ebay rep you're more than welcome to find me .

She misrepresented the size of an item that I purchased from her. So I had to go through the hassle of trying to send it back. The package got lost/stolen in the mail. Then I was stuck with NOTHING. Meanwhile, she gets to keep my money (and) the thief gets a free dress. I could have left her negative feedback, but I left neutral feedback instead. She had my feedback removed, so I am posting my experience here. Ebay might have bought whatever lie she told to get my VALID feedback removed, but that doesn't change the truth. I sent her a picture of the dress that clearly showed HER MISTAKE. I sent her the case numbers that I filed with the post office. The dress cost $27. She would rather hold on to $27, than do the right thing and issue a refund due to a mistake THAT SHE MADE??? Proceed with caution when dealing with this seller.

Ebay's Authentication program is a scam, that supports shady dealers. I was sold a blatantly damaged Kobe Bryant Topps Finest Heirs rookie card. There is bubbling in the dead center of the card, on Kobe's shoulder but this wasn't listed in description or viewable in the photos the seller dcsports87, provided. When I received the card I could see there was a problem with something on Kobe arm but had to open the eBay authentication seal to see if it was the eBay authentication bag, or the other two sleeves the card was in. Once I broke the eBay seal bag, eBay said I could no longer return the card despite the 100% money-back guarantee they constantly promote. The card is still in a sealed sleeve, so it can't be touched. Feel totally swindled by the seller and dealer eBay.

So, as suspected... eBay's site showed that my selling fee was returned to me after I issued a refund! NOT! They were going to keep it! I called and sure enough "there was a glitch." Beware and check your bank account for exactly the sum of selling fee they show as taken from you in the first place. They kept referring me to the site's transaction records to tell me that it was refunded, but I was relentless. No amount with that number showed in my bank. At the end, the person on the phone told me that there must of been a "glitch" and they were going to refund me the selling fee. Hopefully, they will play clear this time because there was another instance where I feel they didn't return my selling fee, but I couldn't look that far in my bank. Same thing happened then, they referred me to their site and what it said!

I purchased as a guest. Minutes after my credit card was charged eBay sent me an Email stating: "Due to an issue with them we no longer offer this item." I was told to contact the seller. That is impossible without an account, which I do not want. The chat is electronic and therefore does not function at all. I was promised a call back from eBay and it never happened. I do not understand why the Federal Commerce Commission allowed this to happen. I was charged and doubt that I will ever receive the item.

I purchased a set of car speakers for about $15 from fleurdelis318 (eBay Seller). I never received the item. Seller claimed the item was shipped to my address. The US postal service showed a delivery confirmation at a certain date and time but they didn't know where it was delivered. I have property surveillance of mail deliveries and had proof no delivery was made at the reported date and time or on any other date. I reported the lost package to the Seller but Seller was unwilling to file a claim with the post office even though Seller had shipping insurance.
I then filed a claim for lost package with the US postal service. And I opened a distpute with eBay, however, they only provide a short window for buyer to prove their dispute. The US postal service failed to complete their investigation before eBays dispute window closed that ultimately confirmed they lost the package. I attempted to send the delayed report to eBay but they refused it. Consequently, the "buyer protection" eBay promised did not help me. I don't trust eBay because buyer bears the risk. That is a bad business practice.

Avoid buying expensive stuffs on eBay!!!! I got scammed with a laptop, it arrived block and I asked for a return and eBay provided me with the QR code and I suggested to get a insurance shipping label but the seller was highly aggressive and abusive and he denied my suggestion so I contacted eBay customer service and they told me not to worry, if the item got lost they were going to refund me because I used their QR code and I sent back the item and the item got stuck in transit and then lost.
I contacted eBay and this seller opened a case about the item and sent a letter from “USPS” saying that I never dropped off the package, when I have a receipt and witnesses from USPS that saw dropping off the item they refused to believe me, even when I sent screenshots from this scammer threatening my own life, he told me “he knows where I live” and they still closed the case in the scammer favor and they don’t want to refund my money, even though I already gave up the item and my money, I spoke with the USPS inspector from my local area and he wrote me a letter saying that did dropped off the item and they still refused to pay my money which was a total amount of $1316.09 so I basically got scammed and eBay won’t help even if they know this “seller” is a scammer they are protecting him, and not helping their customers.

That everyone is talking about and hates. If you look on YouTube, and google, this complaint is taking on the life of its own, and I think they will eventually be a class action suit for this. According to the customer service and I've gotten various responses. They refuse to release my 60-72 days. We are at the 60-day point now and there is no site of them releasing my funds. I get a different answer every time I call. I'm going to post videos on YouTube and use various social media platforms to spread awareness about this. It's so unfair. I encourage anyone to utilize the better resources out there like Amazon, Walmart, bonanza, and Facebook marketplace. Way better selling.

I purchased three 8 ft centerfold tables from Ebay. I did not receive the order. The tracking showed a package had been delivered (not my porch). The package was not even the size of the doormat. I was told that the package showed delivered to my city so it was decided in the seller's favor. It wasn't to my house. I called Fedex which showed the package slip for an address 15 miles away but still in my city. Thank goodness the Fedex driver had taken a picture of the package.
Always request driver take a picture under special delivery instructions. So they opened a case and gave me a case number (this must be a problem they hear often). I called Ebay back and was assured they were reversing the decision in my favor and that I would get a refund in 3-5 days. Nope! 2 more calls and I am assured I will get my $256.00 refund. I am now going to dispute the charge with my credit card company since I am getting nowhere with Ebay with its money back guarantee.

Sold a painting on eBay. This was a painting I bought 20 years ago at a street art fair. After the piece was sold and delivered, eBay held the money and started asking for personal documentation - ID, utility bills, bank statements, etc. After everything was sent to them, they asked for a receipt of purchase for the painting I sold. I explained that I didn’t have it. I sold an old painting that was sitting in my garage. eBay restricted my account indefinitely and literally stole $720 from my sale.

So I submitted the return under remorse, and because I did so, eBay didn't want to help me when I discovered that I would have to pay the shipping charges for the return, which cost more than the item itself. They essentially protected a seller that was selling fraudulent items over their customer, and justified it by using the return option that was selected as the reason, as if that was more important than the actual injustice. I will never use Ebay again, as they are protecting scammers enabling them to continue these unlawful practices. Crazy! Sticking with Amazon, never had this type of issue with them.

I am new to selling on eBay. I have a 100% seller rating.

Well of course while I'm gone a buyer wants to return an item, not a problem except Ebay decided to give her a refund and let her keep the product because I didn't respond in 3 business days.... The business days I let them know I wouldn't be available. I tried calling... I was told they would help me, but then decided they wouldn't. I even had their customer service representatives, 2 of them, agree what EBay did was wrong.
All I asked for was the buyer to be able to print a return label from EBay so the buyer could send the item back, I will pay for the label. They refused. I was told once EBay closes a return it's closed...no exceptions. The return shouldn't have been closed because EBay knew I was unable to receive messages and authorize the return. I should have listened to the reviews of them and chosen a different platform to sell on. I was told I had to basically be available to them everyday...no exceptions. Again...they are a "Sell at your own risk" as EBay does NOT help sellers.

Ebay continues to lose my business. Today was the final straw. 3 employees all with different information. The supervisor Zach was just embarrassing himself every time he opened his mouth. He could not stop lying and cutting me off over and over. He offered nothing to make this situation better. He offered zero recommendations to better correct the situation. In fact he minimized my complaints by saying “you were inconvenienced, but that’s not that bad.” The words that came out of his mouth scared me. I’m scared because this is the generation that is going to be in charge one day. I can’t imagine handling such a terrible situation the way he did.

I have been selling online for 2-3 years using a vast range of services and platforms and because of this experience I am aware of the various guidelines, standards and policies that vary from one company to the next and I am able to abide by these general rules. However, until just very recently I had not been a seller on eBay, although I have been a buyer in previous years.
I regret ever listing on eBay and I will never again put myself in such a position for these reasons: My item sold, and eBay demanded a considerable percentage of my profit for their fee. Most other platforms use a standard fee for all sales/transactions and that way you know exactly what you are paying. Not eBay. They charged me $100 right off the top. Ok, that is fine, I can live with that even if it is not what I considered to be a reasonable fee. I optioned to have the buyer pay for the shipping fees, yet I was charged for the shipping label a whopping $20. Upon speaking to the buyer again, I learned that we were BOTH charged for the shipping and eBay was profiting further by "double-dipping" so to speak.
I then experienced technical difficulties while printing my shipping label, resulting in multiple labels (3 total) which, except for one, are completely useless, and I was charged three times for a total of about $60. I requested that this be reversed/refunded more than once and at this time I have seen any resolution or even received any acknowledgment on eBay's behalf regarding this matter. By my own negligence (or failure to thoroughly read through that particular policy) I was expecting to have funds released pending the tracking information and shipping confirmation. This is also just fine, and perhaps was wishful thinking on my part.
A few days after shipping, the package arrived to the buyer's address and the buyer then received, confirmed the delivery as well as their complete satisfaction and left me an outstanding review based on the sale and the product they received. According to eBay's policy, there is a 2-day wait period to protect the buyer, after which the funds would be made available to the seller for withdraw to the bank or financial institution of their choice. I reached out at to eBay at the end of the 2-day wait period to verify that my funds would be released that very next day, and I was reassured that this was accurate and to expect to receive them within that following day.
A few hours later, and less than 1 hour prior to funds being available, eBay most inconveniently placed another hold on my funds pending a "periodic performance review" on my account. At this point I was getting frustrated, and I called eBay's so-called customer service line to inquire about this review of which I had never heard of prior to that moment. The representative informed me that it was a process in which all sellers would undergo although it was not a required to receive funds, but more a random or periodic assessment. I was informed that this assessment was performed by eBay's system, and that no team or humans oversaw or monitored this review and that there was nothing more that I could do to expedite my review. The review would take anywhere from 1-5 days.
I then requested to speak to management as I was very dissatisfied with this unforeseen hold on my account. The eBay Leadership Team member took my call and assured me that it was usual and I had to just wait it out. I expressed my displeasure and suggested that they consider changing this or implementing some alternative method--anything to expedite or override the hold. I was quickly shut down with the response, "No we don't" or "No we won't do that" and "We can't do anything" even though their own employee had all but promised just the night before that I would have funds on the next day. I then told the leadership team rep. that I did not accept that answer and his refusal to assist me further. I insisted that something more be done to remedy my issue as I had promised my Power company payment on my past-due bill (subject to disconnect) based upon eBay's word of releasing my funds in compliance with their own policy.
At that moment I politely requested that the fees for shipping and the selling fee that eBay demanded be refunded, reversed or reimbursed on the grounds of dissatisfaction with the experience and disdainful treatment I was receiving. He impatiently denied this request as well, then repeated the same useless nonsense he had already rattled off and then in the most unprofessional behavior I'd ever witnessed by any businessman/woman, he hung up on me. Yes, hung up on me! I was not amused. I called back and filed a complaint with another customer service representative and offered feedback and I was nothing but polite and respectful, regardless of feelings and the urge to tear someone a new one.
I called the following day to request an update at which point I learned that the review was a mandatory 5 days and the information I had been given prior was incorrect and that they were unable to check the status of the review and hold. I had been lied to and hung up on and treated as if I was not a consumer that was paying them for their services. The audacity...!
I called the day after that again and was told by a leadership (management) team member that the hold was actually due to there being an issue with my bank account. He elaborated further, telling me that eBay does not accept my bank for withdraw/deposit to my account. I didn't buy it; they certainly could take funds from my bank account every time I made a purchase on eBay, so what reason could they possibly have for such a ridiculous rule? I ended the call and redialed, reaching another rep. who checked over the info I reiterated from the last call, and said that no, she had checked over all the bank account information and it was all in order and verifying the scheduled release of funds on the promised date (July 26th).
Today is July 25th, day 5 of the review. "Expect to see funds in your account sometime tomorrow". I did not feel reassured in the slightest bit so I continued checking over the website to make sure they wouldn't pull another unwarranted hold. The button 'check hold status' I found did not give any actual results or info pertaining to my case, but was just general information that read more information needed, meaning that I would need to provide more info. How ridiculous! eBay needs to make some big changes or risk losing more business and eventually shutting down.
I am anxiously awaiting my funds a full seven days after the buyer received the product which makes it a total of 9 days since the sale. The poor customer service/satisfaction and the unprofessionalism displayed by this company has strongly influenced my resolve to never again use eBay for buying or selling and I would never recommend (to anyone) using eBay either. If they continue such bad business practice, good luck to them; they will need luck and more to save this sinking ship. This has been awful for me personally so I am jumping ship. Goodbye eBay!

Seller shipped to wrong address but tracking still showed delivery to me. Ebay refused to even compare the delivery address with mine to see I never received it. Seller basically shipped to himself, so tracking shows delivered - just not to me! So I'm out $500. This was an obvious scam by the seller and Ebay is complicit in this fraud through their negligence in not checking the addresses. I live in Oregon and the package never even left New York! Buyers BEWARE of purchasing anything on Ebay - if there is a problem and you do not get your package all Ebay will do is send a form letter denying your refund. Now I have to get the actual delivery address from USPS and send that to my bank to reverse the charge.

After showing it to two jewelers who concurred, I returned the item to the address on the shipping envelope.

That's when the big scam and fraud started..

I ordered a lawn mower part through ebay using their listed seller Power Mower Sales out of South Miami Heights, Florida. I read the reviews of the seller and they were rated over 99% satisfied. I never would have imagined I would be in the 1% of unsatisfied. The shipping was fast and I did in fact receive a shipping envelope. However, the corner of the envelope was torn and there was no part inside the envelope. I immediately reached out to the seller through ebay to inform them the envelope was torn and there was no part inside. I offered to send them a pictures of the envelope. I have never received any communication from the seller. I mean not even an acknowledgement they received my communication.
The part I ordered has a tapered end with somewhat of a sharp edge. In hindsight the ends of the part should have been wrapped in padding or something to prevent it from cutting through the bottom of the packing envelope. Maybe there was, but I will never know because the part was not in the package when I retrieved it from my mailbox.
I opened a claim with the seller through ebay and they made me wait for nearly a week to get a response from the seller before they would intervene on my behalf through the ebay guarantee. I have never gotten a response from the seller so I did in fact file a claim through ebay. They responded with a denial because the tracking information showed the package was delivered. I cannot dispute the fact that the envelope was delivered. It was actually delivered a day early. I then filed a dispute with them and included a picture of the envelope with the bottom torn out. They again denied the claim based on the fact the envelope was delivered. So I paid $38 for an empty and torn envelope without out the part I need to repair my lawn mower.
I left negative feedback for the seller on ebay and this is the only negative feedback I've ever left on ebay. I am in total disbelief that common sense will not prevail in this situation. There is no more accountability in the supply chain and ebay has a guarantee in name only. They did not stand behind me the consumer.

I'm submitting this complaint against eBay to the New York State Atty. Gen.'s office, for their review. eBay is falsely charging customers fees that are not valid. I sold an item, and the customer informed me that he would not accept the product. I immediately told FedEx to return the product to me and that the customer threatened to refuse the shipment. FedEx told me there would be no shipping charge incurred because the product was never delivered. eBay still charged me $43. I had a pair of headphones selling on eBay that was purchased for $745. Because of these ongoing issues, I decided to no longer use eBay and authorized eBay to refund the entire $745 to the customer held in my eBay account.
eBay is now charging me $100 because they told me there was a final value fee chargeback. I did not cancel the transaction because they required me to attach my bank account to their payment system to cancel the transaction with no final value fees. There was no reason to attach my bank account because the funds were already in eBay's payment system. That would've been ludicrous to link my bank account, considering the ongoing issues with false charges. They could have withdrawn any amount at their discretion.
Additionally, I'm tired of customers fraudulently labeling a used product as new. EBay's category system that labels things as new, new-other, or open-box is deceptive. Most people would assume an open box was a demo product and would be covered by a warranty. For the most part, the Open-box category is used products with no warranty. I've purchased products classified as new that was clearly used when received. I think eBay needs to be regulated because the amount of fraud on the platform is enormous.

The sneakers passed the authenticity check, but when I got them there was a big black blemish on them and the texture was also worn down.
I notified eBay right away, followed their process, and sent them detailed photos. They basically told me that I’m stuck with them and they won’t do anything because from their perspective they passed authenticity check and the seller has no returns marked. Two problems here.. 1) there is no sense of quality check with the authenticity check and 2) even though their policy says the moneyback guarantee has you covered for sellers that don’t accept returns, they will not honor it. Shop with caution. You may get swindled.. by a seller and by eBay.

This guy begged me for a revision and I wanted to get some partial credit back instead since he denied the return initially and I didn't even have a printer to print out the return label even if I got one from him this time, plus too much time would be wasted for a low value item even if I manage to get a physical return label. I wanted him to refund me first then I would change the feedback as he lied about the item condition first. It was nothing wrong, I just want to get compensated for an item which didn't live up to the description and save my time and protected me from getting scammed the second time. He then refused to refund me, just like I suspected.
This lowlife then reported me for asking for partial credit and ebay was on his side and banned me.

On the night of 3/10 the buyer filed a return request saying they thought they were buying the whole appliance for $12.99~~a NuWave Convection Oven. The listing VERY clearly listed it as a part & pictured the part. I had the option to deny the return which I did.
On 3/11 ebay overturned my deny to return and put all the money from the transaction on hold and told the buyer to go ahead & return it. When I receive it back I have to refund the buyer the cost of the item and the original shipping cost. I am so sick & tired of ebay coddling buyers who are so stupid they can't read or comprehend a listing.

I sold a item over a week ago for £70. eBay took £10. I used my last £15 to pay for next day delivery. A week later my account is in minus. I am starving. I cannot get heating or smoke and eBay think it’s okay to say I’ll be paid soon. eBay has the fees. The buyer has the item. But I am now sat for the 3rd day starving! Do not use eBay to sell unless you are rich! I am going to take legal action.

I don't know I felt like the owner of eBay became so successful he just don't care about his business no more. He has some team members in the chat very rude toward either customers or sellers. I sent my information to eBay because of mismatched information. They closed my account even for me to buy. I never bought sold anything on eBay for me to say that I will do something negative or used to do something negative. The customer service that they have are really rude. First of all you cannot even call someone on the phone. Second of all those people are extremely rude . They don't want to escalate the case to hire managers. They act like they are the end hand, nobody above them and they closed my account permanently instead of asking me to send other documents if one of them did not match.

I decided to sell some inheritance items on eBay. Haven't used eBay in 15 years. It used to be easy, but now, it's horrible! I posted my items, got a bid on one of them in 48 hrs. When I entered my profile on recv/dispersing currency it all went fine. Then when I received notice that someone wanted to purchase, eBay site kept telling me that I was lacking banking info. They did the test bank routine (send .10 cents, then withdraw .10 cents) everything worked. Still the error message kept appearing. I decided to call customer service... go grab a cup of coffee or a beer, here is when things go incredibly south!!!
I was connected with "George" after calling a Florida phone number, but it was obviously routed to somewhere in India. I detailed the issue with my account, and his first response was "well that should not be happening unless there is a problem with your account." He has a real keen eye for the obvious!! This whole time on the phone with him (2-hours 8 minutes) I got nowhere! He asked for my driver's license ID (with a photo of it so that he could get me to download some other software). He asked for my SSN (which really pissed me off). He tied himself into my computer to see the screen as I saw it, and by now I was feeling really uncomfortable with this whole experience.
I was then told by him that eBay had noticed some malicious activity with my bank account. How in the hell is eBay allowed to look at my bank account??? I asked him on several different times during this 2-hour phone call "why I am doing all of this?" All I can say is that is that he was really good at tap dancing around a question. Right at the 2-hour mark, I told him that I was done with this conversation that was going nowhere in a hurry. He became a bit belligerent, that is when I finally said "good-bye." eBay lost a lot of money because of this incident, seeing as how I actually over 100 items that I wanted to sell. In closing to all viewing this, do yourself a favor and please AVOID USING EBAY AT ALL COSTS! It used to be pretty good, but now is just a breeding ground for stupidity and a place for the useless to find employment.

Ebay only makes money from Sellers. So when sellers rip you off or fraud or lie, Ebay will side with them on every appeal. They DO NOT guarantee anything. They say they do but when you try and collect they side with Seller. And if you think using PayPal helps, it does not. Paypal will side with EBAY on every decision they make, so you have NO RECOURSE. It is a big scam and I would not use unless you are prepared to get ripped off and take the loss. Too bad, it used to be a pretty good place, now they make Craigslist look like a safe place.

Sold by catllc <----blacklist this person! I tried to cancel the order 5 seconds after making it because the shipping would be 2 weeks, but the seller refused. So I waited 2 weeks. Saw no package, look at the tracking info. And it says order has been delivered. USPS: **. But guess what, it was delivered on Feb 2....a day after my order. And at another state HOMESTEAD, FL 33034. My delivery address is LIVINGSTON, NJ 07039. And the package was shipped out on Jan 25th! Before I ever made my purchase!
So I put up a dispute for not receiving my package. But now I gotta wait a week for seller to respond. Instead of responding. The seller put up a new tracking number. And then he puts up a dispute against me. Best part is. It gets resolve in mere hours. EBAY deemed the seller in the right, and me in the wrong. They said I received my package.

I don't know what got shipped this time. But it's been in Limbo, even a Investigation was brought up by USPS and the package was returned then the seller shipped it again and it didn't arrive again. But EBAY closed my case! Refuse to refund my money! So I will take it up with Paypal. NEVER USE EBAY! You're asking for a headache! Investigate?

I have had an account with eBay since the late 90’s. I only use it occasionally to sell items and have not used it for a while now. At the time I listed a recent item for sale I was aware eBay was no longer using PayPal and was handling transactions on their own. What I was not aware of is eBay will hold your funds from the sale for two weeks for each transaction completed until you reach 15 sales. After complaining to eBay management they agreed to release the funds after delivery confirmation has been completed however this still means a minimum of five business days before the funds are released. I find this policy to be highly unfair to any seller that only occasionally uses eBay and will be looking at other means to sell items I no longer want or need! Goodbye eBay!

I used to sell on eBay a long time ago, and had successfully sold many items. I have always had a 100% rating. I decided to start selling some things again, as we recently moved, and there are things that I no longer need or use, but were well taken care of. A few months back, I listed a beautiful ring. A gentleman recently bought it, but because it had been so long ago, I simply forgot about the listing. I was about to get the ring so that I could send it out, but since we had just moved, I wasn't able to find it. I decided to just refund the gentleman's money right away, only to find out that they wouldn't release his payment to me for at least 2 weeks, to give back to him, because I hadn't sold in a while. I had no idea that this would happen. I guess that their new rule is that you have to sell 25 items now, (in close succession) before they release your payment immediately.
So now, I will have to refund the buyer out of my OWN pocket NOW, (if he isn't able to wait--and he shouldn't have to!) and even when they release the money to me in 2 weeks, he may request it back, and I will be out the money twice!! (Hopefully, he won't.) As soon as I clear up this situation, I will be deleting my eBay account, and never selling on there again!! Lesson learned! If you don't sell on eBay often, you have to wait 2 weeks to get your money! BEWARE!!

Do not buy anything on eBay. They don't offer a money-back guarantee, and the sellers in the USA represent they are US based, and the majority are Chinese companies with a frontman in the US. They use a warehouse and logistics company, and the US taxpayers subsidize the shipping fees. They also do not protect buyers, just sellers. You can't block a seller. There is massive misrepresentation and price collusion by the sellers and eBay. They manipulate search results with preferences towards higher-priced items. There is no pricing consistency, and the same product can have various prices.
Example would be a simple $5 item that could be priced for $5 to 150 dollars for the same item. They mark up their shipping by a minimum of 40%, and it's the highest profit center. It's the platform of fraud and misrepresentation. They even remove negative feedback or hide the input. In summary, I would never buy anything on eBay if you verify everything via message. You will find most sellers will not answer your questions, or they will lie.

Selling camera gear, six items. Personal gear... Sold three items with three more to go. NOT A BUSINESS. Yet here is what eBay promotes... "Do I have to pay federal income tax on my sales? Starting on Jan 1, 2022, IRS regulations require all businesses that process payments, including online marketplaces like eBay, to issue a Form 1099-K for all sellers who receive $600 or more in sales. The new tax reporting requirement may impact your 2022 tax return that you may file in 2023. However, just because you receive a 1099-K doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll owe taxes on the amount reported on your 1099-K.
Only goods that are sold for a profit are considered taxable, so you won’t owe any taxes on something you sell for less than what you paid for it. For example, if you bought a bike for $1,000 last year, and then sold it on eBay today for $700, that $700 you made would generally not be subject to income tax. Check out our 1099-K FAQ to learn more about these changes."
I have only sold $2800.00 worth of gear and wrt my dealing with eBay customer service... I will not sell on this "SCAMMER SITE" anymore. The lady said I still need to fill out the 1099-K form even though I am not a business. The SCAMMERS have rung up my sales to over $10,000 and eBay has not removed those bogus numbers from my eBay site.
Asking her three simple questions in which she refuses to answer, I have concluded the scamming is universally played out. Asking this customer service agent clear questions about. what is going on here, she kept avoiding my question. She literally sucks at what she does. I feel like I am being scammed by eBay. Seriously... eBay allows scammers to persistently meander all over this market place and then when they held my funds ten days ago, I called them and the person said I was good to go. Now they are saying I am a business and want more personal info from me so I cam fill out a business tax form for 2023.
Find this all out after the fact and then eBay scams me with a new rule, by threatening to withhold payment. I don't like liars and I don't like scammers. I don't like to be threatened. The customer service agent said she would transfer me over to a manager at my request. She said it would take 5 minutes. I am on hold now for 25 minutes. You cater to scammers, eventually you become one. Never again will I sell on this scamming site. You would not believe how many scammers have placed an offer on my equipment. Or maybe you would. I understand this is a liars world but could you hire customer service agents that LISTEN and not attempt to skirt the issues.

I am on Social Security disability for a reason I am almost 60 years old and this is a shame that eBay, has allowed this to happen to me. Really is sickening to think that eBay, is just as bad as the people who buy in claim that sellers and damaged goods. It's all Leroy this guy has kept my item, refuse to send me pictures, cussed me out, harassed me and everything underneath the sun underneath. But they have done nothing to help me as a seller. I am done with eBay!!!

For starters I’m a sort of new seller, so eBay will definitely not side with me when it comes to any issues. I have to wait for 3 days after item is delivered just for me to receive my money etc. Anyways, Shipped an item to a buyer recently (auction) for well under retail of item. I get a message from buyer a couple days after it says it was delivered. That there’s all these crazy damages, and it looks like someone dropped it, big hole in back, frame doesn’t hold screen in place. I ask kindly for more pictures of claims but buyer avoided any requests I had. He sent me 2 pictures of what he wanted me to see, it was hard to even tell if the item he took pictures of was even the one I sent because it was literally zoomed in pictures of a single spot. But anyways ebay then notified me buyer requested a refund. And because I’m a new seller ebay will guarantee buyer gets full refund even if I have proof the claims made are false.
I take a video of me cleaning and packing every item I sell, even if it’s a local sale. Again I ask buyer to provide full detailed pictures of items so I can compare them to my pictures and video. He send 1 more picture which shows the item a little better, but in this picture he sent I’m 100% sure it has been disassembled. Which is not how I sent it. (Also have proof of that.) Same thing, no luck, avoiding my requests saying I’m harassing him and that I have to accept return or he’ll escalate….and at this point ebay has no way for me to give my side of the story.
So what options do I have? eBay is holding my money, and if I ignore the request they will automatically refund anyways and quote “possibly even not require buyer to return item” which is complete **. This platform is trash. I am very familiar with people who buy things off eBay, swap parts out for their parts, then send it back to seller asking for full refund. Leaving the seller with an item in worse condition or even nonworking condition than how it was sent. But ebay doesn’t care at all.

I bought a Hott cd player from Ebay to use in my car. I didn't want to use batteries and when I received the cd player there was no usb cable in the pkge. I went to a hardware store and to Microcenter to see if they could help, both said I would need to buy an inverter. The cd player didn't work and I sent it back to the seller: Buys34. The purchase was made via internet on 8/8/21 and I mailed it back by U.S.P.S. on 8/16/21. I never got any other correspondence from ebay. I called their service dept. which is now outsourced and the service manager argued with me, he was rude and nasty, and completely unhelpful, he said there was no record of my purchase etc. I sent numerous emails to ebay about the issue and was ignored.
Today is 11/17/21 and I still have never received a refund. Last week I filed a report with the BBB. Ebay sent me a survey which I filled out about their service and it wasn't favorable. I heard from ebay via the BBB saying it was over 30 days and they don't give refunds after that. They wanted proof that I had made the purchase, so yesterday I sent two attachments from my email for the order on 8/8 and for a warranty I took out on the cd player. The total cost for the cd player was $57.23 and the warranty was $6.99. I have not heard back from ebay.

eBay are disgusting. eBay are disgusting. eBay lie betray steal our money and let buyer scammer go away with all. eBay stole a lot of money from me in the 10 years I was selling on eBay. Even proof of tracking and delivered and signed from buyer... eBay refunded all back. Some buyer from USA stole 6 care bears from me it was delivered and eBay refunded and after eBay said please clear this with the buyer what I did and buyer did not refund me till now any money back. Fraud, scam, lies. Only this is on eBay seller and buyer stay away from this selling page. It destroy your life.

I have been selling on eBay as a business for 17 years with almost 3000 feedback at 100% and above standard seller rating. eBay required verification of identity and banking information for their new "managed payments" (no longer using PayPal). After submitting the information and receiving an email from eBay stating that I had been verified, they suspended my account indefinitely. After numerous attempts to contact them (to find out why I was suspended) they stated that they could not tell me why and refused to talk to me any further. This is so upsetting and disappointing after doing business with them for 17 years. Shame on you eBay for treating your sellers like this!

DO NOT USE Ebay! First of all it is almost impossible to find a phone number that works. I have sold on Ebay for 10 years. I recently sold a item for $580. The fees for selling this item was $127.93. They charge you when you "promote" a item, nowhere does it say they say there is a charge to use this when you "click" on promote. When you finally get someone on the phone all they say is "That is policy". Ebay would rather you cancel your account than lower a too high fee. Sell your item on another site that doesn't gouge you with fees.

If you are a seller and have an issue with a buyer, ebay will back the buyer 100% regardless of the circumstances. I have been trying to resolve a return/ refund dispute with a buyer and every message I have sent to ebay has been ignored. I sent the buyer a return postage label, which they did not use. Still ebay refunded the buyer, closed the case & my appeal. Horrible company!

I purchased computer equipment on April, 2021 from a merchant on eBay.com. The item arrived on May 10, 2021 with water-damaged parts. I contacted the merchant and I received a return label from the merchant within 30 days. I returned the damaged goods to the merchant with tracking and his signature confirmation that he had received however, the merchant decided to keep the money from the purchase and not refund me. EBAY WON'T REFUND ME.

How in the world can eBay let a seller sell a product that is regularly 3.99 for 54.99. That is thievery. People are taking advantage in these hard times and you are letting this happen. Look up 409 Stone and Stainless Steel Cleaner and the prices are disgusting.

I had 4 returns out of 190 sales and ebay said I was below performance. So I was charged a extra 5% fee. It is a total rip off. It was 2.53% of sales. Never do business with eBay. They are punishing sellers over minor infractions percentages to increase their bottom line.

I found that eBay's quality is decreased substantially over the 10 yrs I used it. Seller fees are much higher, now require all bank information. Always take the buyer's side and not the seller. Was recently accused of fraud for their own mistake. Now resolved. Horrible experience.

First and foremost the only reason I'm giving this one star is because the option to give it zero stars was unavailable. I held an eBay account with a 100% positive rating for over 10 years with over 200 transactions. Literally every time I sold something there was a problem of some sort I had to deal with. This last time was the last straw for me. The seller chose to return the item (which was perfectly fine). However, eBay decided not to refund my seller fees which came close to $20. At that point I was already fed up and now they were telling me I would not get a refund on seller fees. eBay is a terrible company that generates revenue by ripping people off (the same people who make up the community that keep eBay in business). Sounds counter productive, and it is. So this is why I am no longer a registered eBay user. I will never under any circumstances use ebay again, ever. And neither should you.

I ordered a wrong product; I told the company and I apologized. They offered me a 20% discount if I would keep the product. I told them I had no use for it, and took it to UPS and returned it within the allotted time. I have the receipt and delivery receipt to where I shipped it back. They said they never received it back and they refuse to refund my money; UPS says otherwise. Again, I have receipts to prove it.

I made a purchase on eBay for a new unopened cell phone. After 4 months, it stopped working. I initially contacted the seller to pay for the cost of repair in which they would not and then proceeded to block me from messaging them. I contacted eBay about this as well as asking them to step in because the phone I received was not new but a refurbished phone. The seller falsely advertised. They were very unhelpful and said because it was past the 30 days their Buyer Protection was not valid. I am writing this review because I find it unbelievable there is no recourse on the seller for falsely advertising their product and because the phone stopped working 4 months later, their Buyer Protection is no longer valid.

Ebay are disgusting. Ebay are disgusting. I was promised in writing that I would be paid on delivery, I then proceeded to sell items based on this information I received IN WRITING to find out my money is being held for 30 days. I only sold the items because I needed the immediate funds. I was then promised in writing that the funds had been manually released (By three team leaders) also verbally, in two calls which I recorded for evidence. The next day a general staff member said "I apologize for the wrong advice my colleague gave you yesterday, we are holding your funds for 30 days." THE BUYER WAS MORE THAN HAPPY, LEFT EXCELLENT FEEDBACK DETAILING ITEM TO BE AS DESCRIBED, PACKAGING EXCELLENT, ETC. There is no issue with the buyer, he is great and we have been in communication about how badly eBay has treated this situation. The buyer is off eBay over this too!
