Like some other reviewers, they told me they weren't interested in clothing I sent them. To my surprise, I saw those same exact clothes selling on their website! So dishonest... I'm glad the company is dead now.
If I didn't know any better I would say I was addicted to it. I really like the auction option on expensive things and the buy now if it's already a great price. I always look for 2 day shipping or fast shipping but always the free shipping.
Beware sellers from selling on ebay the customer service does not help with solving your issues. Ebay makes the situation worse on their favor.
I am usually bidding on this website and they fully satisfy my requirements. Nice good products usually used in a good mint condition and a very reasonable bid outcome.
I recommend this website to everyone.
The company is low class and their customer service is ridiculous. Dont buy from them! They dont keep their promise and i never get any place talking to anyone who picks up their phone. They have long waiting periods for returns and know one knows what is going on with any transactions placed from them. How are they in business. Everyone i know that shops on ebay is sooo sorry.
I'm a long time eBay user, and fan of eBay! Loved them for years! Had my first real problem with them after 20 years last month. Called and asked for help. They basically told me to fly a kite! After 598 purchases I guess my account was hacked and I bought an item that was shipped to the hacked address. 598 purchases, all shipped to the same address but one, and ebay told me it must be right, no issue. I had called paypal before I contacted them! Paypal, said eBay had been having many issues, and my problem was one of them! I hate Amazon, but I can tell you their customer service is amazing! EBay customer service is a joke. I'd love to put an adjective in front of that, but you can use your imagination!
E bay only cares about the buyers. I was selling used name brand clothing, costume jewelry & some makeup. I sold the mostly face & eye cream Samples & perfume Samples. Most of my customers were really good. E bay took down a Kylie Jenner lipstick from my page. I say ok then noticed about 100 other people selling the same lipstick. So why was I targeted? Then they took about 7 Samples down of mine. No good explanation. When I called to ask why they really didn't have a reason just said it could be trademark ( which was not the problem with the Samples). I told the girl I felt like I was being targeted. She said to put in a appeal. I said ok then the next morning my account was closed. I guess they did not like me saying I was targeted. As of today there are still tons of Kylie lipsticks & makeup being sold on e bay & tons of other makeup & face care Samples. E bay better wise up because more & more negative reviews are being written about them. I hope they eventually get shut down. They treat their sellers like crap.
Ebay World most worst shopping site, my humble request please don't visit that. Please, etc... They are selling duplicate products so please don't buy any product...
EBay is only worried about the buyer and not the seller! As a seller, I have had many issues with buyers, not paying, asking for a refund and then never sending the item back, etc. Even though buyers can mess up as well, as a seller, you are not able to give a negative review to the buyer like they are to you as a seller. It is not okay. I have been treated like trash by ebay and their customer service over and over again. Not sure why i continue to sell on there but I am done this time.
Here are a list of negative experiences I have had on ebay just off the top of my head:
- unfair case results (many times)
- not being able to cancel or void a shipping label
- a buyer asking for a refund and a full return and i gave them their money back and they never returned the item. You know what ebay did about this? NOTHING! I contacted customer service many times and they didnt even take the time to respond to my messages.
Those are just a few of the times ebay has shown how awful their company is.
Coming from someone who has sold for many years on ebay, go somewhere else. Do your research and sell your items on a different website! I hate ebay and i am taking my business elsewhere
0 STARS! EBAY is a rip off. They take take take, and when the time comes to help a seller out, they pretty much turn their back on you.
It's pretty simple. EBAY is a buyers world. Sellers are treated horribly. I had a buyer send back a coat one month after it had been delivered and obviously used. There was a cigarette hole on the back of it and it smelled like an ashtray. When I contacted EBAY they did nothing. I can honestly say I've never met a person who has sold on eBay and is happy. The company sucks. I'm glad there are other up and coming online companies I can sell my stuff on like Poshmark and Mercari WHICH COST ME LESS TO SELL ON.
Cheap you can find very cheap deals there and good quality. Better than amazon.com. However just buy from top rated sellers
It was my first order on ebay. Worst experience ever. I ordered a phone. I got no call, no notification nothing from ebay as well as the seller. Everytime I check my order, it says, not yet shipped. They made me wait three weeks. I kept on complaining, calling the customer service, everyone assuring me that it will soon be shipped. After waiting three weeks, I got a call from the seller (finally!) telling me it will take another 10 days, so told me to cancel it. Why the hell couldn't they tell me before so that I would make other arrangements. I lost my phone three weeks back and immediately ordered a new one on urgent basis since I just cannot do without one. And this is what i get. The Hassel of waiting for three weeks. And now this. Cancellation refund $#*!. I would like to give zero rating
They will not let me give a company a bad review. I bought a Wii from super discount on eBay. The item was sent to the wrong person super discount was very rude the whole time. They lied to me said that there was never an estimated time when it would be delivered that eBay doesn't do that on anything. EBay and super discount said it was delivered to my door which was a big lie thank goodness I have good neighbors and brought it to me. I will not be shopping on eBay ever again and I do a lot of shopping online.
They used to be a great site, I've been buying and selling since 1999. Before there was PayPal, site has received numerous updates over the years. My issue is that these days they are so buyer friendly it is too easy for sellers to be ripped off by scam artists, it is very disappointing as this used to be a great site.
He comprado numerosos artículos aquí, tanto nacionales como extranjeros, y todo me ha llegado en perfecto estado. Muy recomendable.
The commercial with the woman asking the little boy a question. And she made him cry a lot of us are very upset about that. That was not funny at all. And you should stop showing that $#*! IT'S NOT FUNNY YOU $#*!. MADE THAT BABY CRY I WISH THAT I WAS HIS MOTHER YOU DUMB $#*!ERS...
Website leaks your private Information such as your mobile no. And product purchasing information... with the Fraud Person who call you. On the call, they talk about LuckyDraw and asking for money. If u r avoiding, they call u and abuse. For ex: *******240.
But eBay should maintain the private Info privately. If not then THIS IS FRAUD COMPANY
Oh yeah the fees are all in the fine print, but I'm not a professional eBay user. And I got blind sided. Out of a $160 sale and a listing that never sold I had $60 in fees.
To close my account I had to zero out my account, and after that I still have to wait 30 days. Called customer service, nice gal, but I should have $#*!ed first to get a reduction before paying. But I just wanted out of Ebay!
These guys are cheaters i have order product and they are failed to deliver and not refunding my money back.
Never buy any product from fraud shopping website they do same with each users and this was the second time happening with me.
First time i thought it was my mistake but every time they do the same with all clients.
Also all chat support person are having scripts and they will copy and paste one line each time not ready to understand client frustration.
I need my money refund.
V. V. V. V. V poor service
I've maintained a 100% rating for EIGHTEEN years, recently sold an item - the buyer has it in their possession, but because I apparently don't sell often enough, my money is being held. I called and explained to the person that barely spoke English that I'm not a 'new seller' after EIGHTEEN years but they just repeat gibberish about 'appreciating it' but they will hold the funds anyway. I will no longer accept PayPal and have my money held hostage. Sellers beware.
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.
