I buy on eBay, everything came, returned money and problems weren't. Very large number of goods. Always there are alternative sellers and their prices.
Ebay continue to be the best place for me to bid and buy stuff online. I have met many great buyer and sellers
Yes! A five star rating for Buttcoleahter. TOP service and quick delivery to the Netherlands. Thanks a lot.
Bought a bridle that was described as over sized/warmblood, when I got it... it's clearly labeled FULL size therefore not fitting my horse. Seller would not accept return and eBay did nothing for me and would not give me a refund. Poor customer service, I thought I was protected as a buyer... apparently not... if you don't care about loosing your money (i spent $300) then go for it. Any other online store would accept a return for this. In this case they protected the seller... no buyer rights... Deplorable. Last time I buy on eBay... better off with Amazon...
IGNORES THE SELLERS NEEDS. BUYERS COME FIRST IN THEIR BOOK. I DON'T KNOW Y I KEEP SELLING ON HERE BUT I DO CUZ I NEED THE MONEY.
I HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AGAIN(2nd time) AND I CALLED THEM AND EXPLAINED BUT I GUESS NO ONE THERE DGARA!
I have worst ebay experience buying new mi 4a mobile and i received repaired phone mi service center justified he saying this phone allreday repaired other side. Worst support or rather I will say no support at all. Rude Support guys. Easy for any vendor to cheat on ebay. My claim register on 4th august but today 8sep. I dont received refund.
Ebay is the $#*!tier version of Amazon. The homepage looks like a grandpa designed it. It is possibly the most bland online shopping/purchasing website out there. You guys suck! Get with the 21st century and update ur poop website. Gosh you're gonna be extinct within 5 years. None of my friends shop on your website. All your consumers are 60+ when their retirement money runs out, so will all your profits!
I have worst ebay experience. Worst support or rather I will say no support at all. Rude Support guys. Easy for any vendor to cheat on ebay
Sold a working watch band was broke clearly stated it in my listing buyer opens a return says watch don't work wants refund stated in my listing no refunds long story short eBay sided with buyer got refund and kept my 300 dollar Movado watch eBay could care less bout there sellers
They use to be a great place to buy from online, however now eBay got to many scammers on their website. It is hard to find witch sellers are trustworthy and witch ones isn't.
Ebay is great when everything goes completely perfect but in the world of reality that doesn't always happen. We had a buyer who wanted to return an item even though it was a no return item which was discounted down about 60%. The item was above the listed quality and the buyers allegations were above ridiculous. Ebay went in their favor and had me refund them and I ended up losing almost $100 in shipping and marked down cost. Ebay was impossible to work with because after the deal they kept saying the money was not refunded even after I had been. So even after contacting them numerous times and them saying that it was fixed it wasn't. So I am unable to close my account because it says I owe them money. So now they suspended my account which all I want them to do is cancel my account so I can be done with this shady operation. They are so incompetent!
The restrict your accountant waste your time on this site. I just started selling in this site and this company has made it a nightmare with no explanations.
I was overjoyed when i was able to use my device that was blacklisted by at&t as a result of inpaid bills. A seller by name: siralexlpunlocks did the magic for me. Am so happy to broadcast this good news. I promised to help him broadcast this fantastic service. Below is the link to the sellers listing:

Purchased item from vendor. EBay let them play email games till it was to late to get money back even thought they had 6 bad reviews for product from same vendor. Even started taking down bad reviews for vendor
Pretty fed up with eBay right now (and I have been a member nearly from the start).
So glad Amazon exists!
I purchased shoes from a seller, they arrived - two different lengths. I filed a request to return them. Seller filed eBay for "help" with this request. Ebay jumped in and denied my request to return shoes saying it was "buyers remorse" when right shoe was 10 inches and the other was 10 1/2 inches. How rediculous is that?
I'm not out my money thanks to eBay and cannot do anything with these shoes. Ebay even suggested I try to resell them - being a dishonest seller is just fine with them. BUYER BEWARE!
Dear Sir/ Mam,
Paisapay ID - *******5896 Claim ID - *******
I bought lenovo Zuk Z1. Phone incoming and our going not working.
I raised request for replacement. But ebay closed my claim due to software issue and It was not manufacturer issue.
After I went to lenovo service center at T. Nager, Chennai. They told this is not software issue. Manufacturing defect. Need to change spares. Rs 2,650 Expenses. I told it was under warranty.
They told ebay invoice date problem. It was not valid. Invoice date 2000 year and invoice no not available. Hence ask from ebay for claim. They gave report to me, regarding this is out of warranty based on invoice.
Again I asked to ebay. Again they refused to give replacement.
After I ask seller - Cellotronixx
They told return cell phone, Need to check and rectify. (If return means will not get replacement).
Still my new phone not using condition ( Rs. 7,400 loss to me)
Finally ebay cheating me.
First I don't buy any item from China, or Japan. I look for true USA companies for my purchases. E bay is faster to deliver than Amazon. (of course I don't have Prime, nor do I want it). I ordered a special flour from Amazon which stated it would ship in 1 month. That month came, then 2 weeks later I got an email. Product would ship in one more month for 2 1/2 month total for waiting. Needless to say, I canceled the order. I am wise to shop at E bay, you would be too.
A seller known as Jdm982 is perfect for car parts and accessories. I ordered a series of parts for our Dodge truck, and they were all delivered as agreed. They fit as advertised on our truck, which was a surprise since the vehicle is a bit dated. I would recommend him for car parts
Clueless support reps who waste your time with scripted responses. Tried to get an answer on why my account was suspended, but all they kept saying was it was due to violation of our policies. Ok, then which policies. They couldn't say, all they could say was violation of policies. So let me get this straight, I violated a policy, but you can't tell me what it is? How can you offer support when you don't even know your own policies?
Wasted nearly months just to get an answer from the momos that work here.
They should be paying me for all the time I wasted just even talking with them.
Purchased from koala OK, first never came, second promised delivery never came. Emailed seller after first failed delivery second delivery never came. Tried to escalate thru ebay total failure. Customer service has no idea at all, cannot grasp the simple fact that they agree the pur chase was made but the my ebay sight has no record of it. Therefore it cannot be escalated. Hopeless. KoalaOK has my money but ebay is only interested in looking after itself. My advice is stay from ebay you will just lose your money. Roll on Amazon, who have a business model that looks after the customer unlike ebay who do not and are only interested in there own profits. Read the reviews I am not the only one complaining.
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.
