Reviews and Complaints

EBAY is holding $172.50 of my money and won't give it to me unless I divulge personal and confidential financial information. I have been using EBAY for 20 years and have never been required to provide that information.

Suspicious, not reliable, not enough photos on ads, hide game flaws and blocked anyone from messaging: This seller Leekee_games, I messaged it for the aesthetic condition of a certain game insets and never got a response courtesy. I was eager on buying but I was suspicious, I wanted a reply from it. After I decided to buy anyway then I found that I was blocked from buying by the seller.
Its feedback is not for a trustworthy seller, beware before buying from it.

The seller sent me a defective product. He said he would send me a replacement. Three months later it has not arrived. I requested a refund and it has not arrived. We have exchanged about 10 messages. They are only empty promises. Order number is [protected]. The product is 4Pack Egg Rings Mold #[protected]

I've sold on eBay for nearly 20 years now. I use to sell with confidence but eBay now values buyers over sellers. The buyers abuse the system, essentially screw over the sellers more frequently than I have ever experienced. No joke, 100% of my listings end with a circus act from the buyers. They demand I do exactly as they say as if the $20 item they bid on (and refused to pay for) also included my soul for their rule. I'm absolutely fed up. You can't even report the buyers. I had harassing emails. Did eBay help? NO. Was I ignored and the person able to get out of the item they bid on because they spontaneously changed their mind minutes after they came in for the kill bid? YES. These buyers need off off of eBay and eBay needs to value sellers once again. Until things change, I will no longer sell on eBay. Or buy.

I am wring in my capacity of consumer of electronic services.

On 29.07.2021 I have listed an item for sale on the platfor Ebay.com. The item is allominium wheels with listing number: [protected]. The price of the item including delivery is: 623 EUR plus delivery of 96 EUR. The item is my personal thing, I am not a trader.

On 03.10.2021 the item was sold. The client has paid the item and the delivery. Ebay informed me that they will put my money on hold until the client receives the item and confirm that it is as it was described.

On 04.10.2021 I have shipped the item and paid the shipping on my own as I did not receive any payment.

On 13.10.2021 The client has received the packages.

On 14.10.2021 I have send a message asking the buyer if he received the item and if everythign is OK with the shipping - no respond.

On 25.10.2021 I received a message from Ebay asking for a refund to the client as he was not satisfied with the item received. The buyer was saying that the item he received do not fit his W124 (model of Mercedes) or per Ebay clasification "not as described". I have replied that I have clearly stated that the item is original part for W201, in the description I have added also a web link where the client can check the compability, I have added also part number that can be checked for compability. After my message the buyer has changed the clain to other reason.

On 29.10.2021 I have opened a case on Ebay saying that the client have fault pretention.

On 03.11.2021 I have received an email from Ebay that thay can not be sure what exactly is the situation and asked me to accept the return. Accepting return means that I have to pay the shipping cost my self.

I do believe that Ebay did not check the case at all as it was visible that the buyer has ordered a wrong part. Visible of the communication is that he put tyres on the wheels and tried to fix them on a car which means that the item is not in its original condition. Now I have to pay the return costs and receive back an item which is already modified somehow.
I refused to pay the shipping back and Ebay told me that in this case the buyer will keep the item.

I do believe that my right as consumer of services of Ebay are damaged and I claim to receive back the money for the item I sold including the delivery charges or total or 628.54 EUR.

Attached:
1/ Confirmation letters that the buyer has received the item
2/ Correspondance between me and the buyer of the item
3/ Answer or Ebay

I have had my account with this company since 2016, Ebay is well known for restricting accounts and holding funds on "new" accounts. So just a few weeks ago I decided to delete all my listings that were on a "buy it now" platform I changed it to "auction". These same items had been sitting on their website for over 2 years. After I sold about 15-20 items, I receive a email from Ebay stating that they restricted my account, removed all my listing and I can no longer list anymore items due to "suspicious activity". There was no need to call because again Ebay is well known for weird company practices. I read the email it said after I upload my tracking numbers to verify shipping they will remove the restriction. Well I uploaded the tracking, responded to the email. Restriction still there. Day 2 restriction still there. Day 3 some items delivered restriction still there. Now my items have been shipped, tracking numbers uploaded on their website, 90% of all orders delivered and my account still restricted. I have not heard back from them. I received a email on Sunday 10/31/21 stating now I need to provide proof of purchase. I instantly provided all my receipts within a hour, no response. I waited until today 11/3/21 called them, agent was not helpful. She was not able to assist, did not have a manager to speak with, had no knowledge of where the corporate office was located. I am starting to feel like Ebay has just scammed me. They are randomly holding people money and requesting documents but never acknowledge your documents once sent.

So... aside from their poor customer service, management never responding back within 24 to 48 hours, dumbest ebay gift card policy ever of ONLY allowing $1, 500 worth maximum for purchases a month, now they have gotten rid of all their Adult Stock! Why don't they just ask for proof of I.D. instead of banning everything!

One of the reasons I joined E-bay was to be purchase 21+ "adults only" movies and /or toys. It used to make E-bay unique.

I purchased two, cute pair of ankle booties several weeks ago. I ordered my regular size and knew as soon as I tried one on... They were too small. So, I immediately printed out a return label and rewrapped the shoes perfectly and sent them back! I have had heavy communication with shoe commerce and ebay... Asking for my refund! Was told they have received notice that these were returned, but have not issued my refund! Instead, I just received a message that my case has been closed! How can it be closed when I don't have a refund or the boots! Shoe commerce owes me $48.00!

On 8/12/21 I ordered a watch on my debit card, paying $21.22, a casio model 'wr', same watch i've worn for 20 years. On 8/31/21 my order was received and found defective, it wouldn't program. I wrote a letter (copy here) explaining the problem and asking for a replacement, or a credit and to ".. Please advise." no watch has been received, nor credit issued.

Inclosures here incude my mentioned letter, usps receipt for mailing ($5.10) and confirmation that my return was received. Please note that i've since purchased a new casio wr from macy's for considerably more $'s.

The following sellers: engineermusic, virtualexchanges, nrdtreasures and brandnew_20004 are infringing on a patented product and are unauthorized to sell BioTab7 on Ebay. You are allowing your platform to sell this product which is unregulated and mislabeled against Federal Regulations. We, as the manufacturer, are giving Ebay 72 hours to contact these sellers to remove our product, Biotab7, off their page before we file a complaint with the US Environmental Protection Agency and their General Counsel. These sellers have been sent a Cease and Desist notification in the latter part of 2020 and early part of 2021 which went disregarded.

I ordered a 4-drawer silver flatware chest and was waiting for delivery. In looking at the tracking I saw that UPS picked it up from the seller. After about a week it still had not arrived. UPS tracking showed it was in transit. I contacted the seller to see if there was a problem. Since the seller is located in Louisiana I thought maybe there could be a weather related problem. The seller filed a claim with UPS as did I. Ebay opened up a claim. Ebay then got back to me via their communication channel and said that the item was delivered. I contacted UPS and they repeated that the package was officially declared lost on October 18 and had not been delivered. Ebay continues to insist the package was delivered. The seller has not responded to my request of a refund for $132.

When I was ordering and about to punch in to order the injectors there system jump into my wife`s account which is 6408 and I did not even give permission to go in that account when I going to use my net spend its a joke that they do this and now it looks like` im out of 71.25 so I had to cancel this order in my wife`s account and they took my money out of my account.

I have tried to resolve this multiple times with eBay but keep getting promised a refund but it never arrives.
Short story is. I sold a jacket to a buyer who asked for a refund on the agreement that it would be posted back. I have not received the jacket back and the buyer will not respond to messages from myself or eBay. She has a full refund, my jacket and a postage label to return but has refused. I have contacted eBay and they have promised a refund back to me but have failed to deliver. This has been going on for months now. Each time I call I get a different operator and a different excuse why I don't have my refund. I have multiple emails from eBay stating they will return the $185.00 but never deliver. Where is your duty of care eBay to protect the seller. This buyer is still buying and selling when clearly she is a scammer.

Ebay Seller 23+ years

Call service failed, fax service not assigned

I've had my account Permanently suspended I looking for a Message that ebay said they sent to my E-mail AND on the ebay message board but no message was present or procedure outlined for removing the suspension.

I have been a %100 straight shooter with ebay and Paypal, provided all this ridiculous level of extra information that other clients never had to and never abused them in any way, and for over 23 years+, and in one fell swoop they canned me

Does anyone have any idea where a seller can go to at least obtain a reason for such behavior, no authority has contacted me about some serious offenses! I am baffled since

Does ANYBODY have a phone number to them?, If Not does anyone know an eBay lawyer that can make this upcoming disaster a simple discussion and explanation, because it can only get very much worse from this point on.

I can be reached at contact, mail and ebay domain duftopia

I also Can't seem to respond to messages on the community board, in addition twitter/facebook ebay can do nothing.

My item was listed as pickup only, a Jeep soft top. Buyer bought item and asked me to ship. Through a few more messages back and forth he bullied me about getting a shipping box until I canceled. Order was canceled and his money was refunded but he was still able to leave negative feedback that eBay will not remove. And the feedback he left wasn't even accurate. He didn't get what he wanted after being sneaky and now my reputation is going to suffer. eBay needs to updated their policies much like their portal; it's outdated. Looking into alternate selling options.

I've been trying to get my name changed AND bank information changed w/ebay and have been going round and round with several agents for weeks and keep being told that it is being processed and wait another 3-7 business days and it's STILL not taken care of! I have over $100 sitting in my account that I can't access and they have given me until TODAY to make the changes or else I lose the money. Since they removed PayPal as the money source, there's been nothing but problems with them!

Prior to listing an item for sale the following is listed under funds' hold time: New or infrequent sellers will experience transaction holds while we confirm that their items have been successfully received.

Literally, as soon as an item is listed, it now states that funds are held for two weeks, to make sure there are "no complaints or returns". This is a patently misrepresentation of the actual situation. The items are non-returnable and have a tracking number associated. The seller is not only lied to, the seller is also now inherently liable for usps, ups or fedex mishandling of items. I did not enter the agreement to use their selling vehicle with the understanding that these funds… hundreds of dollars would be arbitrarily held for two weeks. And if one does not use eBay shipping labels, the seller covers all shipping fees out of pocket prior to the two-week mandatory hold period. I have 100% rating and have spent hundreds of thousands on thousands of items… this is simple and clear misrepresentation of a contract prior to using their platform.

Also, their CS is non-existent now. I requested a phone call 4 times. No one attempted to call… I simply get emails saying we tried to call. This is outright falsified information. Any requests for phone records will verify this. I am sure I am not alone. A simple comparison of requests for calls to actual calls made, and then a follow-up email stating the customer was unavailable, would easily prove falsified claims and non-resolution of customer issues.

I ordered an item from Charles Trent. I recieved a text from DPD courier service, on the Friday advising they will deliever at 8.59, so i called at 8am to say i would not be available . I was told that hey will not attend the property and will redeliver it on Saturday, which was fine by me.
Saturday morning, i did not recieve a text to alert, so i called DPD and was told they had to note the account as " Customer refuse the item" because the seller was to tight to pay for the weekend delievery. I was told to give the Seller a call and arrange a Sunday delivery. I left a voicemail on Charles Trents answering machine requesting this, but did not recieve a response. The following day, i recieved an alert to say they will deliever on the 5th. Again, on the day i advised them not to and to a neighbour, which i told them not to. I contacted the seller who was flipant and did not feel he did anything wrong. I made several calls to Ebay and spoke to countless incompetent and stupid advisors, Including Chen, Ben, Joan, etc also managers, who basically discarded what Charles Trent car parts in St Georges Avenue, Parkstone, Dorset did and basically said i should inconvienience myself further by accomodating him. I advised them as he deliberately had the item delievered, he should take complete responsibility to return the item. I had been a customer of Ebays for 2 years and this has clearly shown me what a callous, thieves they are. who have lost all principles in order to protect the seller. I have shut my account down and would advise anyone who is thinking of ordering goods from Ebay to reconsider because they will side with the seller regardless of the situation,
