eBay

Bought a bridle that was described as over sized/warmblood, when I got it... it's clearly labeled FULL size therefore not fitting my horse. Seller would not accept return and eBay did nothing for me and would not give me a refund. Poor customer service, I thought I was protected as a buyer... apparently not... if you don't care about loosing your money (i spent $300) then go for it. Any other online store would accept a return for this. In this case they protected the seller... no buyer rights... Deplorable. Last time I buy on eBay... better off with Amazon...

Disgusted with Amazon.com, I actually tried for the first time in 4 years to purchase goods on eBay. Good Grief. The advertisement for the goods was a total lie. Let me get this straight, eBay gets its cut for creating the marketplace, and, then, it's Buyer Beware. The goods were not new as advertised, and the goods were totally defective. It doesn't get much worse. EBay does all these tricky maneuvers to hold on to your money for weeks and weeks. What a bunch of deceitful, fraudulent players. What a lousy company from top to bottom, and these worthless "sellers" are frauds and con artists. Never Again.

E bay selling fees went through the roof, bunch of no good robbers if you sell something for about 225.00 get ready to pay E bay about 24.00 for the sale and pay pay pal at least a 7 $ charge for the transaction both of these companies should be investigated by the federal government.

Purchased a college textbook, but turned out seller didn't have in stock. How does that happen? Half.com sent email saying refund should be immediate, and offered me the opportunity to purchase the same book again at a higher price with a discount that equated to $5. Because I paid with Paypal using a checking account, a hold was put on my refund. Even when my payment to Paypal cleared my bank, Paypal wouldn't release the hold on my refund, which I had never experienced before. Busy moms price shopping for college textbooks don't have time for this Half.com!

It is a huge place where you can find all kinds of stuff, what I think is that they are a bit expensive, compared to other pages. Most of the items that I purchased there have been very useful for me, a base for my laptop for example.
The products also have a great quality.

Long time ebay seller, had 0 negative feedback. 0. I have been trying to get my account re-instated for months now. Everytime I talk to customer support they are rude, they answer my questions with long answers that mean absolutely nothing, just a bunch of words that don't pertain to anything. They say they can't tell me the exact reason. That makes 0 sense. I'm lucky I don't need to rely on them, but I see this happening to more and more people. Something weird is happening over there. If I could rate 0 stars I would. The fact is, scammers roam this site in large numbers. Buyers are also not the brightest and if they want to they can make sure you never sell on there again.

As far as a seller, you are at the bottom of the list. They will freeze your account if anyone gets mad at you. They will hold your funds.

There's a reason this company has such a horrible rating across every review board.

Customer service - 0/5
Site - 0/5

Love ebay, I always classify my searches to see the % ratings of the sellers and never buy below 99.7%. Below that is at your own risk! Also I wish ebay would make it easier on us customers like myself by providing in search options the % ratings instead of having on every single page to press Ctrl+F then typing in 100% and so forth to illiminate the rest...

Been a long time customer of ebay and when you know how to search its a great site.

All of the items I sent for resale were rejected. At least two of those items had never been worn and the tags were still attached, yet the reason given for rejection was "overall wear"... huh? I paid to have the items sent back to me because I don't trust them to "donate" them. This company has questionable tactics. Keep your clothes.

I sent a 7 pcs of designer bags and shoes new with tags worth of $300 plus each item and they only pay me $121 for all.and I saw some same item with mine they sell for $200 plus dollars each Where is the Justice! I was expecting that they will give me at least $50 each they make too much profit.

Very much depends on the seller when shopping here. I had positive experiences together with worse ones, and again - everything is up to the seller. Check the reputation first and try to meet in person if possible.

"If I could give it no stars I definitely would. They make a big fuss about ebay bucks and coupons but don't try and return the item you bought with a coupon cuz unless you feel like trying to find a number on their site (which is harder than it should be) and trying to explain your problem multiple times and being made out to be an idiot and then having the person get an attitude with you, its not worth it. I've tried returning things twice with coupons and each time the seller refunds it to my paypal account and then ebay turns right around and takes it and gives me nothing for it. I just had a customer service rep get an attitude with me for double checking that she was going to issue a refund for not one but two items in the same order that I had to return. Its outrageous. "

I love eBay as a buyer but absolutely hate it as a seller. I've sold on eBay for a few years. Not anymore. Fees are too high, cannot leave negative feedback for $#*!tyy buyers and no seller protection against fraudulent buyers. But as a buyer there are some good deals to be had as long as you don't get into an emotional bidding war. Winner always loses. All reviews are true. Depending on which side of the line your on.

I love ebay and have always had a positive experience. Great deals, fast transactions/shipping, and items have always been as described. I recommend purchasing from people with 99-100% approval ratings. I don't think you can go wrong.

Really like the site up to a certain point. You will find pretty much anything at this place, the only I don't like is you can't really know if you're buying exactly what you're buying. Yea, the feedback system is a good thing but sometimes people that review it doesn't seem to know the stuff they got aren't exactly what they're looking for. Each person's standard's different. I buy games here and two sellers can have games listed as New but one came with it shrink wrap but when I open it you can tell it's been used via scratches and booklet having some kind of color stain. Yet the other one came non shrink wrapped, claiming it was opened to check it works, and the disc was perfect with no scratches, perfect booklet and even came with the ad inserts that usually comes with games now.

I found a couple eBay stores that I don't have to worry about buying from.

Ebay blatantly let's Customers rip your items off. EBay costs too much and customer service for sellers is pathetic at best. Customer service reps can not answer any questions nor speak English. Amazon is worse than ebay

I've bought and sold MANY things on EBay and never had a problem. It's also a great site to visit just to see if others are selling something you may be wondering is worth anything that you plan to part with. Did this just last night. I was going to toss some electronic gadget in the garbage and wouldn't you know it, many people are selling them for a decent buck.

You can also get great bidding deals if you know where to shop. I bought a $1,000 watch for $50 at a clearance center and the best part is that there was another watch hidden inside a compartment of the box. So I got TWO!

I recently purchased medicated shampoo for my pet. DCF28 is my i.d., Item#*******997 $148. Item not received. No refund received from very rude seller, Pet Wish Pro's. Opened dispute and was told by Ebay that I was not entitled to a refund from them either because tracking info showed "delivered". Got nowhere with USPS either. No one was professional, or understanding. The only thing I did wrong was purchase this item and I was treated terribly for it. Then, Ebay somehow blocked my ability to leave feedback for this item. I am certain due to knowing it would be negative! I was an Ebay customer for over 15 years. If they are willing to let a perfect-rated customer of many years to be treated so unfairly, I don't need them and neither do you! Their seller pricing structure has gotten outrageous over the years too. BEWARE!

I have thought long and hard on a review for ebay. I don't use them very often, neither ever did. Infrequently, I will purchase an unusual tchotchke; book or excuse me, fetish-sorta implement. I had one odd experience with them, several years back. The seller and then ebay became demanding on my slow response to rating the sale. I had not used the item - so I was rushed into a review. I refused to order through them for over 2 years, till I saw a book, that I could not easily acquire anywhere else. This sale was fine. Still, I don't use this site often.

In one of their marketing video they mention that all their items are in great condition only - that's a lie, I have ordered from them several times - most time I found stains or defects on a few of the items. My last order was two Coach purses and a jean. Although the jean were fine it was too large, the coach bags on the other hand had exterior and interior stains. I sent all three back and only recieved refund for two. Real unethical that they try to rip people off this way.

I have been a seller and buyer on eBay for over 10 years and have revenue by selling and spent by buying literally hundreds of thousands of dollars if not in the millions and when a fraudulent occurrence came they took no responsibility over it and have continued to tell me there is nothing that they can do and they don't have any part of it. They're lack of morality and terrible customer service to neglect their buyers and sellers for over a decade or even ones that are new are absolutely despicable and there should be consequences for them and their bad business practices. Hopefully people stop using them they are nothing but shysters and pass the buck on to their own customers that are the reason they are even in business. It's so sad to see.

I have bought 19 items from eBay but today i decided to sell and there's a problem. I was blocked because a person in my family has a bad acount. Best part is they can't tell me who or how to fix it. I am being punished for someone else's problem.

I have had a 100% seller rating for 20…
I have had a 100% seller rating for 20 years. A customer won an auction of mine and didn't pay. I cancelled the sale 2 days later after trying to reach them without success. Ebay let the buyer leave a bad review dropping me down to 98.8% rating. They never paid and didn't buy anything but ebay let them ruin my seller rating. When I reported it to customer service to have it reviewed they said that the buyer didn't break any of their rules. Im done, no more ebay selling.

They have the buy back guarantee and if you dont receive something you contact the seller and they will make it right, or ebay will intervene if you have further issues. But all their sellers strive to go for that 5 star rating, so I am very happy with my buying from them, also they have alot of good prices too
