“Many of the sellers are very poor, do not receive the item - if you do & need to return, the seller ignores you. Customer Services at ebay is very poor, should you have an issue then report it to Paypal or, even better, your card issuer. Choose Amazon over Ebay.”

“I purchased an item that never arrived. The seller then didn't answer my request for a refund and I think they have closed their account with Ebay. I tried to use the Ebay Money Back Guarantee, forget that! It's nearly useless, I really think Ebay makes up their own rules about the money back guarantee. Try to find how many days you have to get your money back. In my case I asked for my money back after waiting for 3 months for the product to arrive from China or Taiwan as the seller had stated.”

“I purchased a Bible at eBay expedited shipping which I paid for separately. The Bible did not arrive as expected priority mail, but the seller mailed it by media mail instead. The Bible was scheduled to be delivered on May 18, 2020. When I reach the item through USPS it says that the item was delivered at front porch/door. There was nothing left there either left on my mailbox. If the Bible was to be delivered by USPS it should of been put in the parcial mailbox and a key should of been put in my mailbox, but there were no key there. I contacted eBay customer service by summiting a eBay guarantee policy which states: If you don't received the purchased item you get your money. That is a incompetent lie, after waiting for the decision eBay. close the case on favor of the seller After that decision was taken I close my eBay account with 504 positives feedbacks, no neutrals or negatives. The seller has neutrals and negatives feedbacks and one with the same issue I went through. I now have to wait for 30 days of processing so that my account complete data be deleted. There are lots of places where you can purchase for example Amazon, theire policy is much better and less expensive.”

“NEVER BUY on Ebay as a guest!!! I did so and one of my items was not delivered. It were a set of reusable masks for my family in the rise of covid-19, when delivery stopped to take signatures. The delivery man just fixed some time, reporting that delivery was made when actually it did not. Firstly, the Ebay declined my rights as a consumer and took the seller's position. After I contacted and revealed my identity as a 8 years buyer, they agreed to pay for the item but on one condition. While I fulfilled the condition, past more than a month and they said it is to late and I should go to Paypal to receive the refund. Paypal now says, you should file a complaint on our Resolution Center Everything from the beginning, after 65 days of fight. I will never buy anything from Ebay as a guest again, and this platform will be the last place for my shopping in future. Do not recommend.”

“As a EBAY buyer and seller since 1999, EBay has done nothing but go downhill. I have 100 percent- perfect- feedback. Recently sold an item and accidentally shipped wrong part. As we offer free returns, EBAY now automatically generates USPS priority mail label for customer and charges you shipping fees. As the seller, you have no say in the return process and are not allowed to generate a return shipping label. We always ship via UPS for tracking and on time delivery. UPS shipping outbound fee was $20 for this item and EBAY charged $33 for return label, profiting on our error. That’s sick!”

“Again. Just purchased an iMac from ebay today morning. Spent £ 780 pounds. Two hours later I get an email from Ebay stating this item was auctioned from a fraudulent account. First thing I ve grabbed my laptop and searched how to contact them. Found it not easy to get connected to C.S. Once there ( 40 mins wait ) the agent talks to you but you can tell he/she is trying to derail your thinking onto different path, Quite a few times had copy/paste answers type alike.. So Now I have my monies frozen for at least 2 weeks. 2 weeks of hell to find out what they will say. Paypal useless also. :/ Blames ebay and vice versa. Im due full Ebay account cancellation as soon as I get my refund. Lastly, another case that happened to me recently on Ebay as a seller. Word of advice. Avoid Global shipping programe. Once your parcel is not delivered in time, the buyer gets a full refund no questions ask, you are charged. Read on google that there is a gap in the system where users abuse this programe by applying for refunds for items that didnt come ( they arrive but a bit later but it wont show up on the system ) so the buyer gets a free item and you have no item neither monies. Lastly huge charges, 10% ebay + 5% paypal ( ebay ) High return risk = $£ loss Im seriously out of ebay. Been there since 2007, 750+ 100% feedback. Always been mega reliable super seller/buyer. Its time to find new platforms, Be aware tho, Gumtree is now owned by ebay too. ( already had issues with my paid posts being removed without even 1 email notice ) Hope someone will find this review useful. Peace 2 all”

“Terrible absolutely terrible platform. It’s no longer a great place to sell from. The EBay fees and lack of Communication and safety for sellers is no longer available. I refuse to sell anything with eBay anymore. On and eBay bucks good luck being able to use those lies. They took away anyway to contact anyone and they have. Made it so that anyone can con you into losing more money just by being a liar. Absolutely HORRIBLE. Oh and they took away the fastest way of getting paid when you sell something. Takes up to 5 days to get paid now.”

“I am, or I should say was, a first time eBay customer. I set up my a account. I went back to their site the next day, and now I'm not aloud to sign in. States I don't know my password. I used their chat method of contact for a week trying to get help. That was a waste of time and energy. I tried to call. Of course you can't talk to a live person. It just refers you to a help site that brings you back to the chat method of contact. My issue has yet to be resolved, and the eBay staff just don't seem to want to help. I feel bad for the sellers on this site. I have something in my box I need to pay for & can't all over a password and the lack of the eBay staff being able to assist. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this site to anyone.”

“So far as a buyer on the e-bay I can say that I'm glad. I had cases when I received the item damaged, but in every case i got the refund. What I would suggest to buyers is to start recording when ever you receive the item and going to open it, So sellers will be sure that if the item is damaged its not the buyers fault! Thats what I'm doing all the time, so nobody will be unpleased after all. Thanks to E-bay team.”

“Please do not sell anything on ebay!!! Especially watches jewelry or anything worth real money. They pretty much allow buyers to ROB sellers and i mean ROB!!!! And paypal is in the same boat. If an item gets lost in the mail you pay, if a buyer blatantly damages your item then tries to blame it on you even when your pictures show a perfect item YOU PAY. Buyer claims he got an empty box YOU PAY! What i will suggest is make sure you have paypal take funds from a bank account and when funds are received transfer automatically to your bank. This way you can make a claim feom your bank. But ebay is getting smarter they now are rolling out this plan to manage payments for sellers basically they are the new paypal, so it may be easier to make a bank claim but iam sure the reason for this is to just screw the sellers one way or the other.”
