Reviews and Complaints

I had bid on ebay for videocon led tv and ebay sent me confirmation mail on my mail that I had won the bid and after some time I received a call from the seller he sent me the bank account name to transfer the money but before making transaction I asked ebay by making call on ebay customer care about money transfer method in auction because for this item there is no any option to transfer money (buy now or pay now option) ebay told me that u can directly transfer the money in seller account they are verified and trusted seller. After confirmation from ebay I transfer money rs. 30000 to the seller account on 22 dec 2015, but after transaction the seller not pic my call and not reply me since 10 days. After that I complaint in ebay regarding the seller behavior but ebay told me that he cant do any thing in this case. Now pls tell me the way to solve my case. Mob. [protected] (rajesh kumar)

Vendor shipped shoes to me that were not accurate on the size (US 11M); the shoes were at least one to two sizes too small, and, nowhere on his Ebay site was it EVER mentioned that the Saucony shoes, which I paid him $89.99, ran smaller than the size marked on the tag. I sent the shoes back to Amazon, where he had purchased them (I was not aware at the time that this vendor did not take back purchases). Amazon gave me an RA# and the shoes were delivered back to them. I called and stated that my account had not been credited so that I could get my wife the CORRECT size shoe, but was informed that the VENDOR was credited with the return compensation! I have tried to get a replacement shoe, but the vendor is rude and non-communicative. He now has DOUBLE the amount paid for the returned shoes to Amazon! He kept my money and was ALSO reimbursed by Amazon! He is dishonest and deceitful. I am surprised Ebay allows him to treat consumers like this! I have complained to the Better Business Bureau, and, have an inquiry into the TN State Attorney General's Office in the form of a fraudulent complaint.

Ebay seller “willowbrookantiques” claims her items are vintage and estate items, though most are available brand new from Chinese jewelry dealers selling the identical items for a fraction of the price. Here is an example, a necklace she says is designer and sells to vintage jewelry collectors in the “Vintage & Antique” jewelry category for $88 ( [protected] ), though countless Chinese dealers sell the identical item for $6 including shipping (see item [protected] for example). Here’s another example, a gold buckle cuff bracelet she says is an “estate” find, and sells in the vintage and antique category for $52, it’s always available brand new by dozens of Chinese sellers for $7 including shipping (see item [protected] for example). Here is another example, a lipstick shaped purse that she says is " incredibly unique” and just sold for $56 (see item [protected] ) is always available brand new for $12 from a variety of Chinese sellers (see [protected] for example). In looking through her auction history I have found countless examples of her “estate” items being readily available new for $6 or so dollars by countless Chinese sellers, this includes some of her “designer” items (like Oscar de la Renta necklaces she’s sold for hundreds of dollars, they are “signed” with only a hang tag that's made from a color of metal that doesn’t match the necklace. You can find the same necklaces selling for $10 from China, only the Chinese sellers don’t pretend their are designer). Do some research before buying anything from this seller, odds are you can find her vintage “estate” jewelry being sold from a variety of Chinese sellers, listed honestly and at a fraction of the price.

I have purchased HTC desire 626g Plus for RS 14290 from ebay.in around 1 months ago and its was in 12 months HTC warranty . So, recently i started facing problem in handset so i approached to HTC service center but they denied and gave the reason that the product has been purchased from ebay so we will not provide any service. So, i talked to the ebay customer care but they are also not helping me. Yaa but now i have a proof & i am uploading the same on this site. You are worst site i have ever experienced in my life & i can bet that even a CHINESE COMPANY can give a better service than you people. Kindly stay on your words as i am uploading the screensgot in which HTC has clear mentioned that we will not provide warranty from the products purchased from ebay.in

George Boulos sells philatelic covers signed by US Astronauts on eBay under the name George9785. He buys under the name 55seconds. He has a Post Office Box Address in Blaine Washington, but he does not live in the United States. He lives in British Columbia. George Boulos is originally from Lebonon . I purchased a cover from him on eBay. Almost immediately, George9785 began sending harrassing and threatening emails to me demanding feedback 'or else" . He apparently "Googled" me, because he knew the names and ages of my children. When the cover arrived (yest he did send it to me) it was accompanied by a considerable amount of "ANTI-AMERICAN LITERATURE". I found the contents to be quite disturbing.

Regarding item #[protected] - Case of 40 DSC LC-100-PL - I sold it on Ebay 09-07-15. Upon being notified, I printed the Ebay shipping label and shipped the package. My buyer advised he had not received the package. Seems the address Ebay printed on the label was incorrect. UPS left it on the front porch at the address printed on the label. Over a month later, and after many phone calls to the, UPS said they sent a rep to the address and talked to a person there who didn't have the package. I called Ebay customer support. I'm out $160.00 plus $21.00 freight because the Ebay system made an error, and they refused to reimburse me. Unethical or even immoral what they did to me.

I ordered a camera cover from Ebay.in on 15 August. (prepaid order). They committed they will ship on 19th August. Today it is 26th October, Product isn't shipped and refund isn't done. I called customer care several times but they extend days and told" amount will be refunded after 2 days". Finally I gave them my money as the company is beggar. I committe I will never buy anything from this site and prefer others not to buy from this site.

This is regarding Claim ID : 1285050 for PaisaPay ID : [protected] I had purchased a camera Fuji FX660EXR from geb portal of ebay. The camera was defective. The defective camera was reverse picked up on 3rd Oct and Fedex delivered the defective camera to seller on 6t Oct using Fedex Tracking No: [protected] (Reverse Pickup no KNUA26 on 3/10/2015) Now (20th Oct, after 17 days) I am informed that current status is: "Pending from Logistics for the Reverse Pick up" Earlier my feeling was that JUST ONE SELLER on EBAY cheated me by wrong listing of his item (faulty item was shown as new). But now I am feeling more cheated. A camera which was 30% defective costing around 10, 000 (Ten Thousand Rupees) has been picked up by Ebay, send to seller and there is no sign of my getting my money back. I have lost both the camera and my money. Every time I call customer care number I am promised a call back within 24 to 48 hrs by Ebay claim department for past 10 days, but no call back has taken place. Earlier some persons answering customer care number promised refund on even same day/next day. It is impossible to belive that management in Ebay is so pathetic that one department (Claims department) can not ask another department (logistics department) what the actual status is. What is more likely is that to reduce further claims (and hence their work) they are delaying the process so customers inform others so that other customers move to Amazon/Snapdeal and their work reduces. Or maybe they are just cheats.

Frank Schauer scammed me on ebay. I purchased several guitars from Frank Schauer and he pretended to be an honest businessman on ebay under the username music-outlet-shop. Frank agreed sell the guitars to me at a specific price then after I had already paid for the guitars he very rudely refused to give me tracking. He then falsely reported me to ebay and blocked me in an attempt to con me and renege on the deal. I received emails from Matthias Wulfert(matthias.[protected]@gmx.de) claiming to be an associate of this shady business. Steer clear of this ebay user at all costs. Frank Schauer is a bad business man and liar. Now that I researched him I can see that there are nightmare stories about him, his shady business dealings and overpriced guitars all over the internet. Shame on him. Wish I had checked his ebay username on google first before buying from him. Seems like he is not very smart. Kepts repeating himself over and over again. I think he has an illness or something.

My name is SRGT Dario Freijanes and me like every other law abiding and hard working american who has been with the US Army for 10 years has been kicked off ebay for no apparent reason because they claim that i pose a risk. All i have done was attempt to bid and buy on there community as well as sell a motorcycle i had that needed fixing due to the engine taking in water from a flooded parking lot which voided the warranty on it. I figured ebay would be a good market place to shop on and buy and sell things while i fight to defend the american people. Why is it companies now seem to think its ok ( a new trend ) to refuse services to law enforcement officials and Military men of this country. I think its wrong that anyone should have to feel like they have been singled out and or discriminated on by this company who makes billions of dollars by scheming its members for everything they sell and trade on there website by charging them outrageous fees that they can get away with because they have monopolized the market and there are no other market places in existence that gets the type of traffic and business ebay does

I received a Ladies 9ct Gold Omega watch on a leather strap. Value 670 pounds sterling. But I ordered an Omega Ladies 18 ct with matching bracelet.
I paid 1700 pounds sterling. Mr Anastasis refuses to replace the watch or refund my money. I made the payment by Bank transfer to his personal account. Big mistake. What should I do now

I ordered these chairs on August 24, 2015. My item # is [protected]. Was told that estimated delivery would be on September 1, 2015. After not being delivered on or near that day, looked at tracking # and had not even been delivered to carrier after 10 days after estimated delivery date. According to PayPal my credit card has been charged with the amount for the chairs. Just looked up website for gold3288gold and found this is a Scam. I did send a message to e-bay that had not received item and did not get a response. I will be calling my Credit Card Company to stop payment on the purchase. I am very disappointed in ebay and probably will not be ordering again! Seems I could have at least got a response that there was a problem.

This vendor did not deliver my order worth 31USD. They claimed they re-sent but that did not arrive too. After trusting and waiting too long, I am unable to resolve through eBay. After many emails, they proposed to refund half. I did not agree. After several emails, they refund half and told me I agreed.

i dont trust the seller or EBAY now.

the link to the ebay page is
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Apple-iPhone-4-32-GB-WHITE-Smartphone-/131507179216?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:IN:3160

the seller page clearly states that the warranty is 18months.

Currently, eBay involved with some seller those who are doing business unethically. The eBay supports that kind of seller directly and involved with unacceptable business and not having any good corporate governance and control over a seller. Whatsoever seller gives advertisement without checking eBay published its own website.
I bought “Orange Jasmine Bonsai Tree - 1 Live Plant (Send in special packaging)” on June 1, 2015. The description of items was written as follows:

• Live plant
• Amazing tree
• Special tree
• The tree includes aluminum wire for getting a first design!
• Special tree for bonsai growers
• Plant Age - 1 year!
• Condition of the plant - Perfect
• Plant will be shipped with pot and soil.
• User guide will be added for delivery
• We send regular mail only!

Most of the descriptions are fake and cheating with customers. Today when I received the item I am surprised to see that it comes with an envelope and inside the envelope there is a 6” plastic bottle. And inside the bottle there is a 2” plant with 5 leaves and approximately age is 1/2 months.
Not only that, seller does not accept any return. I have nothing to say and only I will try to avoid eBay and will go another online seller.
I posted two Image here one is shown in website another is what I have received. Please compare this and take professional judgment.

Most of these sites are simply set up to allow people to vent their frustrations and nothing ever actually comes from the complaints / public warnings. I had a long history of trying to sell on Ebay but with more and more " screw the seller " rules put in at random, I have no desire to use that trash site anymore. Who needs them? No one. Part of the Ebay plan is to instill the seller with a fear that we need them. We don't. Amazon is a real site to market ones items. Ebay is a theft promotion / scam incouragement site. Nothing more. The so called " Buyer protection" was established to promote theft by allowing everyone to rent free items and generate millions to Ebay by them stealing the so called sellers fees. Did you know that you really don't have to buy anything listed on Ebay anymore? This is the message Ebay is trying to get out to the world now. Free use of anything listed for 6 months, then just say Item not as described and they will make sure to steal the money back from the seller and refund the buyer. Will the thieves refund the seller fees? HA! If you see a piece of something that you need, just pretend to buy it on Ebay. That's all you need do. When the item arrives, simply take out what you want then claim " Iten not as described" and send back a little bit of something so that you can show postage on the return. No need to actually put the item back to the seller. A rock will do fine. Ebay has the " Intentionally screw the seller " program which has got your back.
