1. Massive fraud under their so called "free shipping program" that actually produces higher costs for consumers and thus higher fees for ebay.

2. Massive fraud regarding fixed price items and the requirement for immediate payment to prevent sellers from issuing manual invoices for combines items in order for the sellers to be overcharged for sellers fees because each item's shipping amount incurs a commission form ebay as opposed to a lessor combined total.

3. Repeated over billing of fees, even double billing,

4. Repeated billing for services that the seller did not order or that ebay is not legally entitled to.

5. Holding credit cards hostage in their system. If you have a outstanding balance will refuse to allow you to remove your credit card from their site - you either have to provide them with another card or use paypal. The solution is to have your credit card company block ebay OR to cancel the card entirely and have your credit card company issue you a new one so ebay can't then us it.

6. India based customer service that one has a hard time understanding half the time and whose job it is to screw you over.

7. Hiding of seller items in search results.

How is not eBay's current ceo not in jail?

EBAY has gotten so greedy and power hungry, that they allow buyers to be scammed if the seller makes them big bucks in power seller sales. I received some knock off perfume and contacted the seller who, along with ebay, demands I pay for return shipping. Sellers can scam buyers and trust that the majority will not pay out of pocket to return, and the seller and EBAY scores at your expense. I even left negative feedback for seller and ebay removed it because I also mentioned EBAY'S failed Buyer Protection in demanding scammed buyers pay to return shipping... getting burned by the seller first, and then by ebay. Insult to injury. SHAME ON EBAY. I did pay to return it with tracking, for the principle of it all, and ebay removed the feedback. How can we trust feedback when ordering from sellers if ebay removes honest and helpful issues with 'power sellers"... it's all about money and a very dishonest place to buy; 0( Didn't use to be this way.

If you are looking to sell, do it elsewhere if at all possible. Ebay takes a pretty decent percentage of your money every time you sell something. And it adds up. Also, if you get like a million good reviews and then like 3 bad reviews, they do stuff like make your money pend for a month. Terrible if you're selling in a pinch.

Buying... well that's at your own risk; sometimes you will get really good deals and get what you payed for but... you can only take the seller's word for the quality of what you're getting, and not everyone will be honest. Also, if you have a time-frame you need the item by, that's up in the air as the seller may or may not mail it right away.

I am sure that just like me, you would always be glad about money saving opportunities when you shop online? Of course I have tried EBay. A popular online auction service, EBay allows user to buy and sell items by placing bids. A deadline is usually set for the bidding to end ranging from a couple of days to at least a week depending on the seller's chosen timeframe.
I am not an expert at bidding but I have won some auctioned items on this site. It is a good thing to have this site around as it will really give you a lot of chances to get those items that you really need.
My friends are saying that EBay has an addicting effect and I would really have to agree on their ideas. Would you like to try getting involved in these bidding wars at this site? Go ahead and you would really enjoy it!

I would like to think most people have used ebay to sell or buy... or at least searched for a thing or two. I was looking for a certain piece of autographed sports memorabilia which I could not find on any sports/fan site. So low and behold I came to Ebay, which to no surprise had exactly what I was looking for. Site navigation is laid out fairly well. Creating an account and accessing emails for questions/comments is as straight forward as it can get. Making payments and receiving payment is hassle free and quick. If you need to find something specific and are looking for a easy transaction Ebay is probably the safest place to go.

As a long time ebayer noticed a MAJOR flaw and as such I have been ripped off!

Do not purchase any item from a seller that uses "Myhermes" - they are notorious for non delivery of goods and if like me you dont receive your goods and open an item not received dispute on ebay if the seller puts in the myhermes tracking number they automatically go in the favour of the seller... to make it worse any feedback that you leave for the buyer is removed. Not recommended atall. Ive been ripped off I have no goods and lost the money

I seriously cannot express how much I hate Ebay.com. First of all, I sold 3 items on this site. All of which Ebay didn't charge the buyer enough shipping cost so I had to pay out of pocket. Then, they double charge my bank account the monthly fee and when I call them the only thing they could say was we are sorry but we cannot refund the money. I tell them I want to cancel my account and they tell me it takes 160 days for a cancellation to go through! WTF you mean to tell me you dumba$$ people will have my bank account information for the next 5 months?! Do not sell anything on Ebay. I have never bought anything so I can't say if it's bad about that but i can tell you i wont ever sell with them again..

Ebay was good 10 years ago then China sellers took it over and It became a platform for massive scamming. Now some of EBAY management are Chinese people so the scamming became part of the company structure. Item description is translated from Chinese to English using google translate which does not make any sense. Hidden conditions in very small font. Picture and title manipulation. Picture has nothing to do with item, misleading titles. Fraud reporting in EBAY is deliberately made confusing and awkward in order to deter people from complaining... even if you complain, you will find that item is still posted the same fraudlent way and no action taken at all... EBAY is making huge profit being an effective scam accomplice. The only way it can be stopped is through a class suit by a group of people, or asking hackers groups to bring this nasty website down, or by boycot.
