“absolute pirates... avoid being a seller on their site at all costs... all sorts of tricks up their sleeves to con you out of money... they now include your postage fee as part of the final sale cost and charge you a percentage of it.. as well as their new managed payments (munged robbery) making it easier for them to rob you as they see fit”

“OMG Had a package stolen. 5 days of them trying to refund over the phone. Told them to keep 50 dollars not worth the effort. Customer service was very nice and kept trying.”

“eBay customer service is non-existent! If you have an issue or question there is no phone number to discuss. You are simply referred to ebay/help online, it turns into endless circle! eBay use to be amazing, but over the past year it gone worse and worse, 1 star out of 5! Moved to Amazon and Market place, KEEP AWAY.”

“a buyer gave me a neutral rating. said i did not describe my item properly. i did and the proof was in the ad text, but ebay would not take it back, after i complained. Ebays has a new policy of wanting my banking information, because they have separated from pay-pal. Not comfortable with giving my banking info. For now no more ebay for me.”

“DANGER! Ebay Giftcards! If giftcard is lost or stolen they will not help you. They will demand everything from you birth certificate, to your passport, to your vaccine records, and in the end will still not help you recover your funds. To clarify, I had many egift cards with random funds on them. One day they where all removed, I was suspended for having too many ecards? and they said I needed all these documents PLUS physical receipts. Email confirmation was not enough, when asked to clarify, the "Assistant" just kept sending same prompt, telling me to look at it. I did and asked follow up questions which lead to copy and paste of original message from "Assistant'. Read terms and conditions, they can suspend ANYONE at their convenience and keep their giftcard/egiftcard money, when you agree to their terms you are agreeing on this, PLEASE READ and learn moving forward, this company is NOT to be trusted!”

“This is scalpers heaven. They don't care about their consumers. They just wanna profit off us. I even tried to purchase from one of the TRASH scalpers, and ebay banned me. Good Job Ebay. Keep screwing over your (ex)customer, and let the scalpers win. Anyone who supports Ebay now is just money hungry. They can't even say what policy I violated, since I DIDNT VIOLATE ANYTHING. Anyone trying to purchase GPUs let's start a movement and show much of a trash company we think these people are for allowing these scalpers screw over people.”

“I purchased a diamond 14K solid gold ring from out of the country, seller send me an alloy gold plated POS ring with the worse zirconia you can possibly imagine in a very poor package, kind of purposely promoting theft or package loss. I immediately did a return and shipped the ring back, since it was out of the country the tracking number never updated, I never got my money back, I kept calling eBay but besides I couldn't understand anything they where telling me because they hire representatives from other countries that barely speak English to resolve this type of problems, and they kept hanging up on me! Ebay closed the case and I took a huge loss. Ebay its not what they used to be, they're a POS now, I turned to Amazon and been having great experiences, its a whole better life and better prices with Amazon, believe me.”

“Had a dreadful service from a seller the -diplomat-suits returned item to be told I sent something else but eBay told me to go through my bank to get my money back ...I’m not even confident eBay even look into half the sellers or buyers there has been some good ebayers but eBay can’t or won’t weed them out ...the safest bet is market place”

“Ebay has become the WORST place to sell your item. There only interest is to make money off YOUR items. They care little about their sellers which is what makes their company work. I WILL NOT recommend Ebay to ANYONE for any reason!”

“I have used eBay since 2004 and have… I have used eBay since 2004 and have sold and bought around 1000 items+ in the time I have had my eBay account, including 80 items in the last 2 months, the most recent item I sold was a barely used VAX wetvac including an unopened container of carpet cleaner, I posted it promptly and in its original packaging used but in fully working order with 12 photos and a description for the advert as usual. The new owner used the wet vac and the cleaning fluid and then contacted eBay to return the item where I was asked to provide proof that the item was as described as the buyer suggested it wasn’t as described (one of the options the buyer can select which will always result in a full refund no matter the details) the decision fell in the buyers favour as they had selected “item not as described” The buyer also contacts their payment provider and cancels the payment , at this point my £180 wetvac is with the “buyer” along with a full refund and no opinion or defence from my side considered. The wetvac does arrive back at my address but used and damaged, when I contact eBay about this on more than 6 occasions my concern is ignored and pushed around , eBay suggest they will get back to me in a number of days which they do via an email that states the case is closed and it’s an email which doesn’t have the option for me to reply. On top of all of this the buyer left a negative feedback in response to me leaving a negative feedback warning other ebayers of this fraudulent user, eBay allows you to contest the negative feedback but ultimately have no interest in helping out a long standing customer that has been conned and had a damaged item returned to me. Avoid eBay and use Amazon”

“I had a Store Account with eBay for many years. I finally shut down my Store account as eBay's Customer Service is the WORST. Their Representatives simply give out "canned responses off a script", or they "I'm sorry I cannot assist you in this, try and work it out with the Buyer!". Lots of fraud and scams via eBay! I had Buyer's steals parts fro an item and then return it claiming it did not work. I have been extorted by Buyer's in giving them partial refunds or they will leave me negative feedback. As a Seller, eBay will not let you leave negative feedback against a Buyer, which gives the Buyer's an advantage of being able to abuse you as a Seller. Such a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Do NOT sell on eBay, they could care less about you as a Seller and all they want to do is FEE you to death!”

“Recently had an experience with an order with eBay which I want to share so buyers aware of before scammed.purchased the item on 4/21/21 expected delivery date was 4/27/21, emailed the seller on 4/29/21 as did not receive the item, no response .I opened a case on May 3rd. My case was closed stating item was delivered on May 3rd.they do not want to give me proof of delivery. Ebay is telling me to work with the seller, I sent 2 email no response.they also telling me to check seller review before purchasing an item, like eBay is the only place where I can shop. they provided a tracking after the item was delivered? Not sure how that even possible. Also Item supposed to be shipped from California, instead shows it was picked picked up from Oregon? From Oregon to my local post office? No other transit? Nothing made scene but eBay stated the item was delivered to a valid us address,I do not know what is that even mean. Learned my lesson with $30, could been lot worst, there was time when I spent a lot more. but time to take a break, time to think twice before purchasing. There are lot of other sources of purchase. Buyer please be careful. I was scammed, the listing/shipping/ tracking all fake.which most of their sellers/stuffs are. Also will recommend buyers work with your bank if eBay does not want to assist.”

“I bought a nose stud that was supposed to be gold-filled. It turned out that it wasn't gold-filled at all, since after less than one week using, it started being greenish and that is the sign of cupper. I got my money back, but I wanted to leave a feedback on the item and I wanted e-bay to ask the seller who is a jewerley shop in India to either remove the items or put correct description. That part was imoossible. I understood after many contacts with customer service that they just wanted me to get tired and give up, which I did. The seller is still on ebay with many many fake items with no feedback and I will never buy anything from ebay again.”

“I had been a buyer since 2012 , I decided not to buying anything from eBay any longer, the problem was the phantom sellers who listed item but withdraw or cancelled their listing after they received my payment. At the end, eBay did nothing but told the buyer that you can not get refunds until you return the item which was never shipped.”

“After being a 99.9% top seller on eBay, they restricted my account and continue to give me the run around after I have submitted everything that they requested of me. Now I am late on my bills and possibly getting kicked out of my place because eBay is showing bias to black male sellers who are growing business on eBay! This is absurd and the government SEC really needs to look into this! I’m honestly on the verge of getting an attorney and escalating against eBay because of the pain and suffering they are causing myself, my children and my business.”
