eBay return item

On July 15, 2019 I bought a used SupperMacro Server 5105M, but It didn't work, then I went through the online procedure to return the item, the procedure automatically directed the case to PayPal ( i.e. filed a dispute with PayPal) without telling me anything about this such as the case ID and how to contact PayPal. Later I called E Bay to return the item they told me to contact PayPal. I opened my account in PayPal and couldn't see any case opening from E Bay, then I called E Bay again to help me contact PayPal about the case, but they refused to do this and told me this was the procedure they must follow. The questions is that if E Bay can not contact PayPal why it sends the case to PayPal, and why E Bay sends the case to PayPal but don't tell customers the case ID? It looks like this is an intentionally designed trap on online procedure to refuse the customer's return requests. I contacted the seller Electronixredux that never gives me any respond. And also when you go through the online procedure of return you must be carefully that if you cancel the return once a time you don't have any chance to go back again.

eBay item #293092927833

I won this item. seller never sent and eBay does nothing to enforce unethical, amoral and illegal sellers. I left negative feedback and seller relisted same item under item # 303234373621 at a greater price the next day. Seller claimed one day earlier that item was still on its way from India and I should get it any time and then offered to send me a free obelisk for my trouble, which will never arrive from a cheater company that is being protected by ebay. Compare the listings. THEY ARE IDENTICAL

This is a blatant breach of contract law. The seller was obligated to sell me that obelisk at the agreed upon price. They should be kicked off eBay for unethical and illegal business practices, but eBay only goes after buyers who don't pay, not sellers who screw buyers with 100% positive feedback ratings. Sellers is 66.7%, you do the math.

eBay ebay overcharging me for shipping

Shipped an item I sold on ebay. Got the shipping label and postal receipt for it from them in the amount of $11.55. Then when I get my paypal statement it shows that ebay charged me $14.96 for that item. I have a receipt showing $11.55 not $14.96 that they charged me and now they are denying that they had anything to do with this so I am out the difference. CROOKS

eBay account reinstatement?

The 1st and only time I can remember using ebay I tried to purchase a part for mites truck called a clock spring.

Ebay staff permanently suspended my account for inappropriate behavior and abuse of my account, or something to that point!? That reasoning and judgment is absolutely bogus! I figured, oh well, they can keep their business.

Now ebay just sent me an email saying my count is reinstated yet I don't recognize the name and would not use such an account name.

It would be great if someone could delete this "reinstated" account and we can go our separate ways.

Thanks

eBay web site

eBay increasingly has one of the worst web sites I have found. I have been a frequent buyer and seller for ten years but I wish there were an alternative that worked.

The web site is hard to navigate but the worst feature of all is search. I searched on Computer Case and got over a thousand pieces of obscure computer parts but no case (try it yourself and see). eBay doesn't understand that a computer case is thing that you put your computer in to carry it to work. Putting 'Computer Case' in quotes doesn't do anything.

My list of ways the web site does not work would fill a book about the size of War and Peace (if you are a computer geek, that is piece of old literature printed on paper that nobody reads anymore.

eBay is one of those companies that has a monopoly, it is all automatic and so nobody has to make it work well anymore. There is nobody home.

eBay bad - unethical seller

I purchased three pair of men's shorts from
Buyer "eBay - jctmlb"

They immediately asked for a great rating -- (I should have known)

Bottom line -- They shipped only 2 of the 3 pair, Ordered Khaki - got Sand color - was not what was ordered.

They of course now have my money, have claimed damage from USPS (didn't exist)

Now they are not responding -- I have been cheated, stolen from and conned all at once.

eBay selling 100 items to receive your funds

I am very disappointed the fact that Ebay have to punish every seller when receiving their funds. It is ridiculous how the first time sellers have to sell 100 items before receiving their funds once the buyer buys the item. Instead we have to wait until 21 days to receive our funds. Ebay you need to stop punishing every first time seller. Fix this!

eBay fake netflix accounts scams|seller: boqlwa. store

On this person's ebay store(boqlwa.store), he is selling these digital items: netflix accounts and the listing is called " Netflix Gift & Warranty: 4K UltraHD | 4 Screens | 1 Month | Personal " for $5 each.When I purchased from this seller, he sent me an ebay message with the "netflix account details" and notes that the "warranty will be voided if the e-mail is changed" This listing is a SCAM, Buyers like me that bought this has no power over the netflix account.The seller can change the login and password at anytime and say the buyer has changed the accounts details leaving the buyer with nothing.After I tested the netflix account credentials, I messaged him saying that the accounts details he sent me does not work and I provided a screenshot to him that the account doesn't even exist.He messaged me back saying "we both know that you changed the e-mail to the account." That doesn't even matter for the buyer because the seller can always change back the account details no matter what by doing a hard reset calling netflix company on the phone.On one of the his/her's other listings that sells netflix accounts it says 17 has sold in 1 hour, I JUST HATE TO SEE HIM/HER GETTING AWAY WITH THIS, THIS IS WRONG AND HAS TO BE STOPPED.HE'S MAKING A TON OF MONEY BY DOING THIS SCAM ON EBAY.Once the buyers give a positive feedback on ebay, there's no turning back, cannot edit the positive feedback. After the buyer puts a positive feedback, the seller can change the netflix account details and give the account details to the next victim so the victim can give a positive feedback saying it works, it's a scam cycle.This ebay seller has to be stopped, this is criminal. Even though it's only $5 each buy but it adds up very quickly, like seriously 17 sold in 1 hour and this seller is getting away with it. People is not reporting it because it's only $5 and left a positive feedback already so it's too late. Not me, I am the only buyer that left the seller a negative review.Below is the seller's ebay store. I know there are other netflix account listings out there but this is the seller I purchased from. STRAIGHT UP SCAM. He requested a partial refund of $1.99 but why am I giving him an extra $3 when I get nothing? He risked $5 for his first negative feedback.

I hope alot of people reads this, maybe donate $5 to him just to give him a negative feedback so people is warned before they buy. With enough negative feedbacks, his account will be banned and if he decides to make a new seller account then he would have to start over from sq 1

eBay seller contact

I was looking for a Grasshog dual line spool cover on ebay and found the seller (the brain seller) offering this item. They offered free shipping and a very good turn around time for delivery. I receive the item I order on the date stated in a bubble wrap envelope, from the US postal service. I open the envelope and the item is in a clear plastic envelope. I open up this envelope and take out the item and I notice that there is a piece sitting in the bottom of the envelope. I look at the dual line spool cover in my hand and I can see were this piece has broken off, making this spool cover useless. I send the seller a email letting them know of my problem and suggesting that in the future they ship this item in a small cardboard box. I get a reply from the seller asking me to send them a picture of this item. I try to send them a reply, but I keep getting an error message from ebay that my order has been over 90 days old and my reply can not be sent. Ebay tries to convince you that they are very open and up front with communication channels, but I see it more as smoke and mirrors, to keep the customer lost and confused. I had a problem with a ebay seller over 2 years ago and said I was done trying to do business with them and I guess that I will continue with my past decision.

I purchased a B & D Grasshog dual line spool cover from (The brain seller a few days ago and it arrived on time. It came in a bubble pack envelope and was shipped by the US Postal Service. I opened this bubble pack and the item was in a clear envelope. I opened this envelope and took out the item. I noticed that there was still a piece of plastic in this clear envelope, so I took it out. I looked at this dual line spool cover and I could see that one of the locking plastic tabs was missing and had been broken off in transit. I tried to contact the seller (the brain seller) and I get a error message that my order is older than 90 days. I had a problem with an item I order from ebay over two years ago and thought that would be my last experience with ebay, but here I am going down the same garden path. Ebay keeps saying that they are committed to having the customer satisfied with their transactions, but all I see is smoke and mirrors. Lucky for me this transaction was only for $11.99 which will not break the bank, but just leaves a very bad taste in ones mouth. If you thought my bad mouth of Ebay had gone away you would be sadly mistaken it has returned with a vengence.

eBay vehicle purchase (1986 ford mustang svo)

I recently purchased the subject vehicle.
It was falsely described as being mint and flawless with original parts. Furthermore via message seller said no rust.

Once received it has been found that there is substantial rust that has been painted over, many non original parts put on to hide the card real condition and many other items.

I have attempted to contact seller through eBay, via text, via phone and via email.

His email and phone are no longer active.

I have offered to return vehicle for a refund but have been ignored

This type of situation is going to force me to public state my situation as I'm getting no help from ebay

eBay no support for a seller who is being abused by consumer!

Okay as a seller you ship products to the consumer. You take as many pictures as you can of item in a sealed clear plastic wrap. Consumer gets your product cuts open sealed product. Then decides to to tell eBay product is not as described. Seller ask what is wrong with product and they sent pictures of a opened cracked product. If item was damaged visible from clear package why would consumer open clear sealed package then try to make a claim. eBay staff even agree that they could see from pictures that item was altered for no reason. They could see no damage to outside box the item was in and agree that consumer should not have open the clear inside package if they did see damage. The picture consumer sent was a very large crack on a hard plastic water filter. eBay again agreed that consumer most likely opened item used your item then sent in a picture of used damage item they removed. So seller decides to just take the loss and gives the consumer a refund. Should be great right. Consumer should be satisfied! No they wait for refund then decide to leave you a negative complaint about the item just to be a nasty person. Can seller leave them a negative too. eBay says NO! So what does this do allow consumer to make false claims get a refund then hurt a seller reputation even after they gave them a refund. eBay is just getting worse with this and they seem to not care. Even there own employees tell you they are sorry we can see what has happened but are not allowed to do anything about it at this time.Makes no sense for a company to just be for the consumer and not have any feeling for the sellers who make there company work. Maybe if enough people complain which there are plenty of complaints from sellers, eBay will be forced to take notice, and stop the fraud that they are promoting in there company!

eBay unfair return policy for sellers when item is returned damaged

The item was carefully packaged and shipped by seller in accordance with normal shipping standards. The fragile glass portions of the item were specifically packaged well to avoid breaking during shipment.

Upon delivery, buyer immediately notified me (the seller) that the item was "not clean" like the pictures of the item I posted when selling. The item had not been used for 1.5 years and other than a few remaining coffee grinds, the item was clean and sent to the buyer exactly as pictured when selling.

The buyer then said that one of the glass parts of the item arrived broken. I find that hard to believe considering how well I packaged it. She also asserted that I wrapped the item in "toilet tissue." Ridiculous!

I communicated with the buyer, offered to replace the broken glass at no charge to her, and she refused and said she wanted a brand new version of the item.

I then communicated with Ebay;s customer service in the Phillipines on almost a daily basis until I received the returned item. I wanted to be certain I followed the proper procedures for this so I would not lose the money I sold the item for and on top of that receive a returned broken item of no value.

As I anticipated, upon receipt of the returned item, what I shipped in perfectly good condition was broken in two places and no longer worthy of selling.

I contacted Ebay again. They created a case for this item. They almost immediately sided with the buyer and the amount of the purchase - $127.00 - was automatically taken out f my bank account via Paypal.

I did nothing wrong. I shipped the exact product pictured in the Ebay post I created and packaged it perfectly well.

Now, I am out $127.00 and have a broken item worth nothing.
