THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I LEFT A NEGATIVE REVEIW TELLING MY OPINION OF THE TRANSACTION ONLY TO FIND OUT THE SELLER WHINED AND THOUGHT SHE WAS TOO PRIVELEDGED TO LOOK BAD AND GOT IT REMOVED. IT IS MY RIGHT TO SAY HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. AND ALL I SAID WAS ''I WAS NOT HAPPY/SATISFEID WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE'' NOT AN HONORABLE BUISNESS PRACTICE OF EBAY. IT LEAVES BUYERS FEELING INFURIATED LIKE THEIR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER AND THEY FEEL LIKE LEAVING EBAY.
THIS is a good store where you can buy items with low price they also have a open box item with low price very friendly
Accidentally listed an expensive item for 99c because of eBay's terrible UI. Ended up having an uptight buyer give me a negative even though I tried to explain. EBay decided not to remove the review which hit my rating hard. I ended up selling the item for a couple hundred dollars less because of this.
I recently purchased contact solution which showed a picture with a 2020 expiration date. The item I received had a 2019 expiration date. EBay ruled in the seller's favor claiming that the return window had passed and my negative review was removed.
Sometimes you don't know how much a product is hyped and what features have been hidden, so it's good to buy on eBay from a normal store and be able to return the item, unlike going in to their store and being unable to return it easily. That's really the only thing good about eBay now.
Perfect site of shopping online. It is the best of second hands things. I bought all tipe of things and all of theme arrived in perfect time and in perfect form! Wonderful!
Awesome business and customer service. I have never had a complaint that hasn't had a wonderful response and usually refund
My husband saw campers on eBay and tried to buy one and the seller said he needed to buy eBay gift cards... he bought half when the store selling wouldn't sell him anymore stating it was probably a scam and eBay scams people all the time. So he called the seller and the seller said, "Oh no problem just pay me what you have ($600 of $1200 needed). My husband did not follow through. EBay would not give him his money back for the gift card and we got stuck with them. I purchased a purple hp laptop... it is a piece of $#*!. It was supposed to be NEW and it had scratches all over it. It was supposed to come with office 365 and does not. It keeps saying the Internet website for Microsoft is not available. I have an Office 365 card that I also bought off eBay for my other laptop, and that is a bunk link too. I have yet to receive the other items I purchased. I am not feeling too confident and I still have $200 to blow on this stupid website. I purchased a wireless ergonomic mouse today. It didn't "take" my gift card number. It said my gift card number was no good! WHAT!?! It charged my paypal. This is the WORST experience ever and I won't buy from this website ever again after I spend these stupid gift cards my husband bought. I would like to deck my husband for being so stupid. Regardless, we paid $600 cash for these gift cards and should be able to use them without issues. It is asking me to post proof of purchase? NO way. Someone on here will probably steal the barcode information and rip us off more.
I have had bought something from huasharenmin2013 on ebay. He sent wrong color and after I contacted him, he said that he will send me new one. Two months passed and he never sent me anything. Each time, I contacted him he said wait for one more week, then he didn't reply back.The worst customer service!
In trying to be proactive and resolve an issue the eBay customer service gave me the run around and could not resolve my issue. There was an error on the eBay side with a shipping label and could not and would not correct the issue. I received the run around, extremely inconvenient and frustrated with eBay service.
I listed an open box item and explicitly stated that no returns are accepted.
However, ebay will not protect you if the buyer wants to return the item.
I called and was straight lied to. They said, "This is a recorded line and we guarantee that this case will be resolved in your favor by a specified date." When the date came, I called and they said that what that representative said to me was a lie. After this, I woke up and my return was magically accepted. I did not do this what so ever. They said I have been hacked. I am a software engineer with 10 years of experience in IT. I haven't been hacked. And if I was hacked... cancel the return!. The manager refuses to cancel the return even when I was allegedly hacked. I cannot believe this. This is an absolute disgrace. I will never ever do business with this horrible organization again. I will make it my personal mission to warn other sellers to never use this service!
I absolutely hate ebay i recently had an experience where i bidded on an auction and when i won i noticed the jacket had duct tape covering holes. When i didnt pay i got horrible messages from the seller. The seller said he had my address and it wasnt to far away and if i didnt pay he would make a trip to my house. He also said he was gonna call the police and tell them i was a fraud if i didnt send over money immediately. Shame on ebay giving psychopaths our address before we pay. I will never support ebay again they risk peoples safety bye ebay i wont miss you
They lure you in thinking you are safe with their 100% money back guarantee claim and I got scammed and they didnt back me up. This was for $230, I'm never shopping on their again.
They'll treat you like a child hold the sellers money when there no reason I did all I could do not one complaint from a customer paid all my fee's they do what they want with my money like its theres
I've been using it for ages... it's difficult to protect genuine customers from some "sharks" out there (both sellers and buyers can misbehave and ruin it for all). Initially (decades ago) the bias was toward the seller and that produced some really ugly monsters... things have changed though
The customer service is always attentive and considerate while juggling to try and please both sellers and buyers (often these are both in good faith and a compromise has to be found).
Bottom line? If you are consistently honest (buyer or seller or both)... you are going to be recognized and get that extra protection which is going to be useful when the odd ugly character tries to take advantage of you and of such open system...
Don't explain fees charged me $750 to have a reserve price with no clear explanation. Called Customer service what a joke they told me to pay or cancel my account. They suck! Don''t trust them they will screw you.
It was an awful experience with my last 3 orders on Ebay. Two times I received bad quality goods, and the last one wasn't delivered at all! Don't recommend to order here.
Terrible site customer service is going downhill not happy customer spend lots of money through eBay and now im anti ebay there policies are bad and customer service only applies to customers if eBay want your money they take it
Last 2 items I bought were straight intentionally sent as a scam and incorrectly misrepresented. I got my money back but why would I use a store that wastes my time with fake products. I also sold on Ebay for the last year and the customer base has gone downhill as well.
How many times in the last years, all of my items has been missing a lot. This time I claim my missing item and they didn't even refund my money for Case #*******582. They come back to me so fast within hours and leave a message regarding what happen. But, they don't seem to bother and follow whatever notification that is listed on their website. Do not even bother to order from them, I was their customer since 2013. Once, it is out of their hand and given to the mail carrier. Your item listed as it was delivered, and you didn't get your item. Close your account right away and don't even bother. They are just giving the sellers our money without your item being send to you. You might be lucky sometimes when you get them. I'm their customer for too long and how many items end up missing. I buy the item again and was received the same result. Their full of BS. I rather spend more on Amazon because your value as customer and they make sure you got your item. How many times they replaced my item? They even send them to me using their own delivery service. I been loyal for too long. I am closing my account because they don't even try to contact you or ask more questions out of you. Even you already leave messages or notes from the box they provide it to you when you claim the item wasn't never received. Don't trust their Ebay money back guaranteed at least your "qualified" like how they think you would then you got your money back. But, I wouldn't waste my time if I was you.
Customer service will only help the seller, garbage customer service policy. Ebay can be renamed the protection of sellers association, the experience is very poor, strongly do not recommend shopping on ebay
Answer: I would never buy a used car without seeing it in person and having it checked out.
Answer: Ebay is a den of thieves. Even Ebay is evasive on complaints to answers. When looking for items, be sure to be fully informed to what you are shopping and use all that knowledge to cypher the listing, even then have found those that list items to be evasive on answers. Avoid ebay if possible!
Answer: For their own purposes and to protect dishonest sellers. I was once an avid EBay shopper, but now avoid EBay. Buyer protection no longer exists. You buy at your own risk.
Answer: Ebay sells nothing. You are dealing with private sellers. Some are good, some are not. The best way to determine this is to check the feedback. I personally never buy from anyone who has a feedback lower than 90%. 96% is considered bad, by Ebay. Take that with a grain of salt. Ebay management is nuts.
Answer: If you haven't already learned the hard way that Ebay is just pure bullshit when it comes to the sellers rights. When someone wants to send it back for any reason other than it doesn't work as described, you will be footing the bill. Not only will you lose the money you paid to ship it to them, Ebay will offer to provide a return label for them at your expense. Yep, that's right. They will bill you the price of the label if you don't provide it. Either way, you are paying for it to get back to you. It's get better. You can't leave negative feedback for the buyer either. It's not an option NO MATTER
Answer: Not to me! It's my main shopping tool! I look for good deals and free shipping!
Answer: Yes. You are right. All what people told you are correct. Don't trust ebay and the seller on ebay. Amazon much better than them. But anyway the best way to buy electronics from the local stores or official stores.
Answer: This depends on the seller of the item - carefully check their feedback and trust you intuition if you have doubts try another seller you feel safer with...
Answer: Hi Tom, As for reviews, you don't get them. It's called feedback. When you buy an item, the seller will probably leave feedback after you leave feedback for them. I hope that answers your question. Nancy
Answer: Depends on the seller. I wouldn't buy anything off ebay because there a crappy company.
