eBay
reviews and complaints

Ebay talks about the online bidder was not paid so I am a risk to their online community so they permanently closed my account. The item I purchased was for a by now price, not an online bidding price. I included pictures that show this item was paid upfront. Are you able to tell me how you can justify permanently closing my account for making a purchase? I did receive the item I purchased and I am happy with the product.

The listing tool that we are now forced to use as sellers DOES NOT WORK. I change the shipping cost for every item, as they are all different, and the pulldown that is supposed to give me that option DOES NOT WORK. I have called eBay for 4 days since I was forced to start the new listing tool, and nothing has changed. The IT department is untouchable, and unresponsive, and extremely frustrating. Sellers are the ones earning their pay. They owe me an explanation, and need to take time to FIX THE PROBLEM THEY CREATED.

I made a recent purchase on eBay of Solution Finish Black Plastic Vinyl Trim Restorer. The product came to me in a bottle with a broken cap so the liquid was all over the inside of the box.

In trying to complete my claim with the customer service people via chat (there is no phone number, and they don't do email... Talk about insulating yourself from your customer base...) I was instructed to put my address in so I could go further in the process... The system would not take my address... The same address that was used to ship the goods to me... So I was roadblocked and could get no further. The customer service staff on chat was virtually useless.

I have never had such an unpleasant experience. I will never buy anything on eBay ever again!

Om the 17th of sept. 2022 I won a bid on ebay I use gift cards that I have purchased along with my debeit card to pay for my purchase. My money was taken off the gift cards but not my debit card so I had ebay call me because you can not call them. When the got in touch with me I was told that my gift cards were under investigation and I needed to show proof of ownership of the cards. So I went back to the stores where I purchased the gift cards from. There was a total of 5 gift cards. Two for $20, one for $100 one for $50 and one for $134. I could only get the booking managers to give me a riceipt for 3 of the cards because I could not remeber the correct date and time of two of the cards which the stores need in order to pull up the transaction. So I sent ebay the three receipts that I got from the store. Two receipts were fo $200 and one was for $134. Ebay emailed me and say that they cant determine my onwership of the cards so they are keeping the my money. I cant afford to just brush off $684 dollars like its nothing I need some help..

Hello,

I wish ebay works more correctly and shows honesty, proper work ethics towards people :(

I have ordered 2 necklace pendants in the month of July , and it was to reach me by september 4th 2022. Today September 23rd, still no response yet , I have just got an update that the product has reached the destination country India but no further response. When I tried to contact the ebay office, no phone number was working well .. It's really disappointing, I don't want a refund or reorder but I want my pendants as soon as possible . Please track my order and let me know where it has reached and when I will have my order !? Below are the order details .

Order number- [protected] TYZPH0014999970YQ 925 silver charm necklace for woman heart cubic (seller- xiong), Order number- [protected] TYZPH0015003719YQ White Clouds Blue Sky Resin Glass Ball Pendant Necklace (seller-ning)

eBay decided, without contacting me to confirm, that my account "may have been accessed by a third party" and put a "temporary" restriction on my account. There is no message in my eBay messages other than those telling me that I don't need to do anything if the person who accessed from another device is me. As it was I did not. But my account remains locked for weeks. The e-mail contact options on the site are all non-functional and so are the telephonic contact options. The only way to contact customer service was to post on Facebook, but all they did was (a) give me numbers to phone the northern hemisphere (and yes I am using eBay.com deliberately because their is nothing of interest to me locally), which do not work (b) refer me to the site to leave my e-mail address which simply does not get responded to no matter how many times I leave my e-mail address. When I asked them why they cant simply pick up the phone and get their "security specialists" to contact me (to fix the fake problem that eBay created for no known reason) they were unable to do even that. This has to be the worse customer service ever known in the history of mankind!

eBay is trying to force me to give them my checking account information to be able to be paid for an item I sold on eBay. My complaint is simple. If it is the case that I must give eBay my checking account/Bank information befor I can get paid, then I should not have been allowed to list/sell an item until I had done so. eBay allowed me to list and sell an item without forcing me to fill out my banking information and when I went to get paid, that's when I was told/forced into filling out my banking information if I wanted to get paid.

I asked for an alternative way to get paid because I was and am unwilling to trust eBay with my banking information and I was told that I had to go through my state to get paid. I asked just what and whom do I cantact for that to happen and was told it would happen automatically in two or three years. I said to close my account and the reply was you can't close your account with money on the books. I said then cut me a check and close my account.

Well, there it is! Now, my money is stuck in eBay for two or three years with no other way to retrieve it unless I give all my banking information allowing eBay to put and take from my personal account.

I gave them my PayPal card information and my debit card information linked to my checking account but that wasn't enough, they demand all my bank information. No way will I do that, there is no reason they cannot give me my money through the PayPal or my bank card.

We'll ebay is at it again I left feedback they remove it like it was never there. They make it hard to shop online. Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer #2 1:5 Action Figure Variant Opus Comics 2022 looks just like a toy. They took a picture of the toy and changed nothing so that's why. Please be carful since ebay is dishonest and won't let me leave feedback when I try to warn other. Doesn't matter if natural or negative they take it down It's just a matter of time sadly. Some progress made as ultimatecomicsonline changed the heading from? to comic and I hope it last but ebay had nothing to do with any of this because ebay is dishonest. I revised one and I was going to revise my other feedback because the seller did change the heading but ebay just took it all away. Thank god for this site.

I am a seller of over 20 years, with a stealer record. I’ve asked for this disingenuous *Neutral* feedback to be removed from my profile, I was told its was against your policy to do so, this is completely ridiculous. I’m not asking for anything outrageous or unheard of, so please remove this at once. The buyer has been disingenuous and dishonest (and kept the item at the same time) Over the last 20 years I’ve seen sellers’ rights stripped away on eBay, with things like eBay forced retunes, sellers no longer having the ability to leave feedback on buyers, not to mention your various funding procedures. I don’t think asking to remove some unjust feedback is ridiculous. I am seriously thinking of taking both of my eBay stores offline.

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

I ordered 6 shirt that were supposed to be 5X. When I recieved the order the shirt are labeled as 5X but are really small maybe 2X. I setup a return and it said I am responsible for the shipment cost to return. I called customer service and was told I have to pay this. This wrong that the seller can sell items which are NOT the size it claims to be. THIS IS FALSE ADVERTIZING !

After talking to a supervisor who told me I had to pay but offered me a $5 coupon for future purchase. I now can no longer contact anyone at this number [protected] as it cuts me off. E-Bay is allowing sellers to sell items that do not meet what they advertize, so youy are allowing FALSE ADVERTIZEMENT.

I bought a Chrome motorcycle battery on Ebay August 2021, the main reason I purchased their battery was because it came witha 2 year warranty, at least according to their ad? The battery dies completely about 6 months later, I then contacted Chrome battery, and pai $ 6.95 for shipping for a replacement battery.

After taking over an hour replacing the second battery, it too lasted about 6 months . I contacted Chrome once again, they stated they do not have a warranty on their replacement battery? Which made no sense at all, nor was this policy posted on the Ebay purchasing website. The only thing posted was the 2 year warranty? When I brought this up to them, they tried stating there must be something wrong with my bike? But I bought another motorcycle battery and it is charging and working fine. This is misleading, fraudulent, and unethical. They then stated there battery policies are on the phamlet you get after you buy the battery?

Hello,

My email address is [protected]@Hotmail.com.

With this email address I had set up an ebay account and have tried to sell my old laptop computer.

For some reason or no reason, ebay has locked and suspended my account.

I am living in Germany but I only speak English. I cannot find any solution to my problem. Am I banned from ebay forever? This seems totally unfair!

I ordered the Magic Magnetic Curtain Door Net Screen which was delivered by Evri on Thursday, 18 August at 11.01. I was out, the delivery person took a picture and told me that the parcel was left at my front door. When I was home, the parcel was missing. There was a note left claiming that the parcel was left at the side gate. I checked the side gate. There was also no parcel. In the note, it precisely states that 3 attempts for delivery are available. I am very disappointed not only for the money that I lost, also (1) I don't have the item to use when I need it most; (2) the courier did not try to reach me on my mobile to ensure the item is left in a safe place; and (3) the courier fails to make 2 other attempts to redeliver as it states in their notes. Even Royal Mail will leave a note for me to make arrangements to redeliver. Apparently, Evri fails to complete its mission. Adding to that, I dont have an explanation why the parcel had gone missing nor any suggestions for improvement except apologies which is not helpful. Evri needs to improve the quality of the delivery personnel and ensure its protocol is closely followed. The purpose of having courier is to ensure the parcel reaches the recipient safely - more reliable than ordinary mail. Apparently, this does not apply to my case. This really reduce my confidence and interest in further purchasing from eBay as there is no way that one can ensure the safe arrival of the merchandise. Where is the point and the fun of purchasing online whilst the arrival of the merchandise cannot be guaranteed. Thank you.

I'm a happy customer on Ebay, but there are a few sellers that need to be a little careful what they sell when people buy things. I bought VeggieTunes from a seller who sent me a wrong CD as a Sampler CD. And another item I got a Steven Curtis Chapman VHS tape that was broken. No one wants to buy broken things or get wrong things. I was not happy about that. I still give Ebay 100% since I'm new on Ebay and everything else is smoothly, but the items I now just said from the few sellers, I wasn't happy.

Purchase product from "comeupbuy" vendor from china. Product came in and exploded within 2 days of usage. The complaint process was not apparent as I bought as a guest and had conflicts with my existing account. In the end, ebay requested I send it in at my cost which I rejected as the item ~40$ and the shipping as ~10$. As a alternative I thought I resolved it the vendor in china, but the promised replacement is well past the expected delivery date. Now the accounts are frozen and cannot complain.

Today my account of over 20 years with ebay was closed for an apprent breach of there policies on selling police related items, I deny this as have only ever sold allowed cloth patches, they have no real understang of there own policies

Hello xxx,

Your account didn't follow our Prohibited items policy. Prohibited items are not allowed.

What activity didn't follow the policy

N/A

What you need to do next

Please read and follow the instructions in this email. Do not attempt to register new eBay accounts.

What is the policy

Some items are regulated, illegal, or not allowed to be sold on eBay.

How this affects your account

- Your eBay account has been suspended.

- All your listings have been ended.

- Any fees paid or payable for listings that are ended and/or hidden from search will not be refunded or otherwise credited to your account.

- You are responsible to pay all outstanding eBay fees.

Seller shipped to wrong address but tracking still showed delivery to me. Ebay refused to even compare the delivery address with mine to see I never received it. Seller basically shipped to himself, so tracking shows delivered - just not to me! So I'm out $500. This was an obvious scam by the seller and Ebay is complicit in this fraud through their negligence in not checking the addresses. I live in Oregon and the package never even left New York!

Buyers BEWARE of purchasing anything on Ebay - if there is a problem and you do not get your package all Ebay will do is send a form letter denying your refund. Now I have to get the actual delivery address from USPS and send that to my bank to reverse the charge. A huge waste of time all because Ebay can't be bothered to do any investigating of even the simplest of things like the actual delivery address!

Order received - some parts were damaged and broken. Didn't want to return entire order. Wanted compensation. Seller told me to file a claim with EBay. Couldn't reach a live person. Couldn't find a category except return.

VERY FRUSTRATED. 1/10 of my order was broken. I wanted compensation.

I just received an email saying my account was indefinitely suspended. When I went to contact them as to why, because there was no reason in the email, all they told me was I exhibited behavior that went against their policies. Again, I asked for more information. The agent said I was displaying patterns against their policies and that's all they could say. Here is the thing. I just opened up my eBay account last month to sell a bobblehead. First account I ever held with eBay. I read all the requirements to sell an item. I took my pictures and posted for $40. The item is still listed because I have not sold it yet. That's it! That is entire story. I explained to the agent I have not held my account long enough to cause "patterns," but of course there is no arguing, the decision has been made and the big companies win again. It's not like I am looking to get reimbursed for anything. My item never sold, so I never received any money, not do I owe them money. I am just hoping people will learn from my unfortunate dealings with them. I know I cannot shut the company down, but if one person learns from this then maybe that will be a small victory.
