eBay
reviews and complaints

Multiple emails to a seller have been ignored. eBay has absolutely no effective way to assist a buyer. I have exhausted numerous avenues provided by eBay to get some resolution. All efforts through their website result in being told this option is not available. Calling the fraud number, which I believe this seller committed, did no good because my concern did not fit their definition of fraud. Let's see; I paid for a product I never received. Multiple attempts to contact the seller have failed. Seller refuses to respond.

Thank God for Paypal since they immediately created a case. One week after my purchase, no help from eBay. They apparently do an excellent job of protecting their sellers but truly offer no support to buyers.

BUYER BEWARE!

I notified ebay 5 days ago about receiving item not as described or as in photo in ad on their site. Followed their steps for refund and told the seller agreed to full refund and that there was a return label at bottom of message. There was no label attached. I tried to negotiate with seller on numerous occasions during that time to no avail and getting the run around. I have copy of five messages in my ebay message inbox regarding this issue. Ebay had said I could elicit their help through a request for them to "step in" by today. I have spent numerous hours today trying through chatting with "assistants" who each said they could not assist me and would I like to speak to an agent. I requested to speak by phone and initially I was granted . however my phone was not turned on due to not turning it back on after teaching in morning. When I discovered the reason why I had not been called, I tried to call number listed in my phone. Only to discover the number did not accept calls and directed me to go to customer service online. I have spent hours trying to reach ebay customer service and seem to be going in circles. Apparently there is no direct customer service phone line and the chatting area, when you can get to it, cannot assist and says they will put you in a queue for a call. But no call is ever received. The order number for the disputed item is [protected]. Item # [protected]. cost $54. Placed on August 28, 2021 and delivered on 09/15/21. Sold by Hadnicer 19175. The item was very poor quality as in dime store variety and and not as pictured in ad with only 4 medium sized sunflowers and 9 small the size of miniature daisies. The fabric greenery had 2 different colors of green and 2 different cuts. There was also plastic leaves on smaller blossoms and a cheaper white plastic miniature flower with another color green. The description only stated 13 Heads Sunflowers Artificial Fake Flower Bouquet Garden Party. when purchasing no mention was made of plastic component, or number of large vs small blooms as now appears in description since purchase. I noticed another packed bouquet had unattached flower to the stem. Photos were sent to seller with request for full refund.

I set up an account to sell a Cell phone. I followed all their steps, verified email, verified bank account, etc. I soon after received an offer for the phone, which i accepted, completed an online invoice, notified buyer. Within a few hours i get a series of emails that my account is "permanently suspended" and that the decision cannot be reversed. This occurred Sunday September 12, 2021. I tried to access my account to find out why?, only data i can now see is my account and profile. I searched for resolution contact ( Help & Support) as well as "online chat" with an agent? No success.
9/21/2021 i received an email that eBay was withdrawing $62.48 for Fees & Expenses? i again went through Help & Support, again only communication is online chat with an Agent who stated that "due to eBay policy they cannot provide more specific information" 1) The listing was supposed to be free 2) Due to being Sunday i was able to retrieve package and NOT send it so there is no shipping cost to eBay? 3) They for unknown reasons cancelled my account and refuse to provide answers so why am i being charged?

When I received the item in May, it was too small. The seller offered a replacement and if that wasn't satisfactory a refund.

The replacement never arrived. When I inquired with the seller (many times), they always told me "Have a wait" or "We will check." They ignored my requests for a refund. They did nothing but stall.

Here is the text of all the messages as copied from my eBay messages. Please note that they are in reverse chronological order.

This strap is too small for me. It is too tight around the back of my head and pulls my jaw back into an uncomfortable position.
May I return it, please?
Thank you very much!

This is for account [protected]@redstix.com.au. I have been trying for 4 months to close my account. Each time, ebay wants something else from me, so after 4 months of being messed around, I am still trying to close this account. There have been no sales, and the last transaction was in May. My seller account was refunded in August. I have tried to resolve this through agents, and asked up to 6 times to lodge a formal complaint, which was not done.

I bid on a handbag and I was told I could not win this handbag and my account was shut down. Who in the hell was this person to tell me that? Why would I need my account closed if I was buying stuff?

cannot get a return packing slip from seller have requested a return for some time . I keep getting stalled and receive messages that I cannot understand I just want to return the item and get a refund

I gave you guys a legitimate about one of your sellers and once again, big surprise, e bay backs up the seller. How do I know the outcome? Because I tried to buy some hockey jerseys from him, I was refused. I had a minor dispute with this seller earlier this year, and it had to do with the extremely slow delivery service. They gave me advice like"go and try to buy these jerseys somewhere else, ha ha ha ha". When I complained directly to the seller nothing was done, not even an answer, another time ii had one of their employees begging me to buy more because all the employees were underpaid and very poor! Now when I have a very strong complaint they don't talk to you, they don't answer you and you have no idea what the seller said or what the outcome is. That's great work e-bay, real good. What happened to the customer is always right? Anyway, if anyone else sees this, doesn't buy from globaljersey17!

purchased this phone on 6/1/21 from ready to call or hnh enterprises. this phone has been a real problem.it was new in a box.the phone has so many issues i had to turn on my old phone. i emailed hnh several times as they said they will replace it. now they wont answer my emails.so this is 8/30/21 being a new phone they should replace it or refund my money. thank you Jerry ebay gerald8544

I use a vpn to connect to the internet for privacy reasons as a result the ebay we[censored]e keeps doing the following things 1. Using crapture to authenticate me as 'human' then 2. Sending me by email and the messages on the web[censored]e messages board telling me i've had an unusual login attempt (it's me by the way) this is now every now and again being followed by a 3. Reset password prompt. I'm getting bloody sick of this it it is getting on my last nerve. There are other problems like the seizure inducing flashing while attempting to view zoomed images and then trying to change views from the bottom of the image. Plus much, much more. Enough to say the web[censored]e needs work to say the least! You would think with all the people off skiving at home over the last year plus due to covid someone may have addressed these issues, but that's clearly too much to ask.

Horrible Customer Service!
Horrible Customer Service!
Was given a coupon code for money off but it didn't work when I tried to use it. Called in and was told they would fix the problem and reissue. Never happened. Called again and was told a second time, we'll take care of it. Nothing happened. Called again and was told it would be reissued and it was; however, it once again didn't work. Called again. Was told how sorry they were that things haven't worked out and that they would see what they could do. Many weeks later and still no response.
I have therefore quit selling on Ebay, and only buy as last resort. There are too many other options available today (Facebook is great) to deal with these clowns. They are so big that they just don't care. Pretty sad! Can't wait till it catches up with them and they fail big time!

I can live without ebay but I've made a sale for which I won't be paid. Ebay suspended my account and still hasn't given me a clear reason. I've been a member for over 10 years and was in great standing, never a negative mark, and never a problem. I've been round and round with their "customer service" only to get the same canned answers. I want to delete my account but since I've been suspended, they won't let me. Strange. I can't buy, I can't sell, and I also can't delete my account. Had it with these crooks.

I sold a high dollar Item which was authenticated by Ebay and delivered the purchaser. Ebay then refused to release my funds. I contacted them over the course of several days during which time I was provided with numerous falsehood and misleading statements which were later acknowledged as such by a member of management. Their team had no interest in resolving the problem all the while telling me I was correct and the funds should be released. If interested, I have 5 pages of notes taken during each conversation. I would gladly provide those to you to resolve this issue.

I recently received 1/500 diecast ASIANA airlines plane, Contrary to Illustration when buying, The plane was in A GHANA airlines box, in addition to which the moulded plastic container in which it came had no lid but was held in place with paper sticker that had been taped to the container. I contacted the seller Johanchan primarily asking for the correct box 1.e. ASIANA airlines his response was that the box for GHANA airlines was the box it came in.
1) the photo that was on the original ebay advert clearly shows the plane sitting on a box with the description ASIANA airlines, Miguel or whatever his name is of Juanchan disagrees with this which is unbelievable since the photo clearly shows the correct details, this is gross misrepresentation and false advertising,
2) In Juanchans description he states that the box has never been opend, as I said above the platc didn't have a lid in addition although the box was for a GHANA airlines how did he know the plane inside the box was ASIANA. He disputes my observations, to insult to injury he offered a minsicule discount. I am not wanting to return the plane nor was I after a discount. Ebay should know that collecting diecast planes is a hobby and hopefully an investment to hand over, eventually, to my 2 sons. I have bought planes regularly through Ebay and have always been satisfied with the service particularly with Graylands and Toylandbay. As a collector a plane in the wrong box is worthless who have always been honest and treated me fairly. I am disgusted with Juanchan phoney attitude and his dishonesty. All I want is the correct box.

On 4 recent occasions Ebay has refunded buyers there money for items that were directly affected by the slow movement of the mail during covid and continued recently because of the lack of good service fromUSPS. Trackly clearly indicated that the items were in transit and would be delayed. Each time the buyer called customer service they were immediately refunded there money and shortly afterwards items were delivered my money and the seller fees were never returned. Tracking clearly stated they were delivered and I have called there customer service in excess of 50 times. You can never reach anyone in USA and there reps in USA do not have any number that is not disconnected. They often disconnect you or just hang up on you or just flat out lie and promise to call back or email with no follow through. They also make consistent over charges on invoices for listings that should be free and are billed for.In 20 yrs selling here I have never heard a positive comment on the seller side. What is ironic is I strive for nearly 100% fb and they give you all type of warnings as a result of slow mail but in every search on there customer service they recieve a 1 or at most 2 of 5 stars.

I recently advertised a motorcycle. I decided I didn't want to sell it so cancelled the advert. I knew it was £14.99 and accepted this. I then received a bill for £39.99. Apparently it was because ebay had decided I was lying and now I had to prove I still owned the bike. I now have had to buy a newspaper and take a photograph of it with the bike in the back ground. How dare you accuse me of trying to deceive you. It is my bike to do with whatever I wish with. I am insulted by your greedy parasitic company policies and will never sell anything again and will discourage everyone I know from doing so

the tow largest charity sellers on ebay uk have stopped usuing the gsp because the cost structure is now too high .its hard enough having to pay 23% vat on top of vat which has already been paid.however ebay are not happy with the profit that is made out of global shiping they want more they are adding an extra £4 or more .for egxample an item listed at starting price of 99p have a delivery charge of £14-15 and an estimated duty of £4-£5.99 duty. EBAY WAKE UP AT PRESSENT YOUR GLOBAL SHIPPING IS A DINASOUR
