“Been a seller for 20 years on ebay, every time contacted customer service got a different answer and most answers were deal with the new selling tool after asking my opinion about it we are not changing anything for you. Customer service has always been bad and have to be educated about how shipping works internationally, but lately their customer service is closed minded guess they have enough sellers don't need me.”

“eBay is a very bad platform if you are a seller and a very good platform if you are a buyer I will explain to you now because if you are a seller and send an item to the buyer they can lie and open a case saying they received an empty box of trainers so they get to escalate it to eBay and eBay refunds the buyer whilst they get to keep the trainers and money that is a daylight robbery not only did this happen to me but loads of other hard working sellers out there so be careful if you are trying to become a seller its risky just remember this bit "eBay will always be on the buyers side".”

“I wanted to sell a dress. I accepted an offer. The buyer asked to send more pictures to her email address which I did. She requested me to buy 2 gift cards of £500 as apparently was for a birthday. I bought one of £270 and receive an email from payments team that I have to buy the other one in order to release the full amount. I looked on ebay and it appreared item purchased by .....(buyer name). I was confident that everything was ok as I clearly saw the word purchased (which means bought) on ebay. Plus the email confirmations from payments team to actually find out that everything was a scam. Not only that I lost the other buyers but I lost money as well. I really recomend everyone to stay away from ebay as in my case was a genuine mistake that I was new and I didn’t know that I shouldn’t communicate outside ebay website. They do not check the buyer identity. The do not cover your loss in case of fraud through their website. They also state online item purchased and the item is not even paid. They do not facilitate to buyer -seller experience through chat in order to avoid using personal email or messages. In my experience if I had the option to send the pictures through chat I would not have ended up losing money. Overall I am very dissapointed by this experience speacially now that I read all the other reviews.”

“Been shopping on Ebay for years and now I will shop else where. Ebay just shut off my ability to use the "make an offer" button or contact the sellers. By doing this they have diminished my ability to get great deals. Its just pure greed. It's the same old story worldwide, you feed them so they can grow big and strong so one day they can stomp on you. Now I have to search elsewhere to find my deals. Its just shopping and they weaponized it. So sad. Don't feel bad for me I'm very resourceful, but stop feeding the beast that's eating you. Happy shopping.”

“I found out I was banned from ebay in 2019. I opened my account in 2001 and used it sometimes. In 2011 I moved overseas and worked for the U.S. Government at their overseas Embassies for 8 years. I retired in 2019 and moved to my home in the U.S. got on my account in 2022 only to find out ebay ban me from using their site. So ebay banned me from the site the year I returned back to the United States. I call and they did not give me a reason just that I was banned, they said I was a security risk. So after a number of years with an account, not using it for 8 years while living overseas, I come home to a banned account with no explanation. The only thing good about ebay is finding older items that people still have. I would give them a zero but cant.”

“Suspended my account for "violating policy," but I barely use the site and only buy things occasionally for my kids. After 2 days of calling, emailing, sitting on hold and dealing with terrible customer service, someone finally told me they suspended it because I don't use it enough and the suspension is indefinite. So unless I sign up for a new email account I can never use this marketplace because I don't shop enough. Please see chat below on how useless customer service is, disconnecting after treating me like a criminal and giving me no opportunity to respond. 01:18:55 UTC Customer My account has been suspended. I am unclear as to why, and have not received any instructions to fix it. 01:20:13 UTC Jayottam I sincerely apologies and regret for the inconvenience this has caused you. 01:20:23 UTC Jayottam Your account was suspended because it exhibits a risk to eBay and to its community. We're not comfortable with your selling practices or business model, and we feel they don't help to promote a positive buying and selling environment. 01:20:26 UTC Jayottam This suspension is permanent. You will not be able to participate in any buying or selling activities on eBay. In addition, any other accounts that you own, or that are associated with this account, will also be suspended. 01:20:29 UTC Jayottam While we know this isn't the response you wished to receive, there is no further opportunity for appeal on this decision. 01:20:30 UTC Jayottam Thank you again for using eBay Live Chat. 01:20:43 UTC Chat ended by Jayottam”

“Don't buy or sell on Ebay. Customer service is outsourced and TERRIBLE! I sold an item for $5,000, they charged me $700 commission and refuse to transfer MY money. When I ask what they need from me, they can't answer because their outsourced customer service is so UNDER TRAINED and useless. When I try to escalate to higher level they refuse because fear of being fired. DON'T BUY OR SELL ON EBAY!!!”

“I bought a gift card from Walgreens. When I went to use it, it said it was linked to another account. When I contacted customer service. They said it was already used. I will never buy a ebay gift card. It is not secured and they won't back them up. Very poor customer service”
