eBay
reviews and complaints

Made a purchase using ebay guest account Item number [protected] from xtreme_warehouse ( transaction: [protected]). I never received the item. I went to lodge a complain with paypal Transaction ID: 04D1171840492584R they are diecting me to. ebay Resolution center

When I go to Resolution center ebay do NOT have an option to lodge complaint category for guest account. Therefore cant lodge complaints because of that. Seller easily get away.
When call ebay Australia they say its paypal issue not them and contact paypal.

So end of the day BUYER is the looser. EBAY Australia created Guest accounts make fraudsters flourish. NEVER EVER USE EBAY.COM.AU

I ordered body armour worthing 68$ they sent to me body armour worthing 29$. I requested partial refund, they ofered to me 9$. Now traying to resolv via ebay customer support service. They advice to ship them back and they will fully refund P&P to China costs 34 Euro. Good deal to pay 34 in order to get 57.
Recomend not to buy anything from that seller.

Completed cycle of contract on ebay US platform. Item delivered by FedEx with tracking number, recipient name, address, phone number and declared transacted amount arrived in UK awaiting for clearance. Buyer notified by FedEx of tax but intentionally refused to pay custom/import tax of the country and claimed non-delivery of item and filed "goods not received"in ebay resolution center. The real issue was buyer and his/her country tax authority. Custom/import tax is buyer account internationally whether expressed or implied also on ebay platform. Ebay resolution process favor buyer and refunded the amount inclusive of shipping cost. In this case ebay assisted buyer to breach the contract and abetted buyer to avoid country's custom/import tax. The item has not returned by buyer to me(seller). There was no tracking number, carrier in normal process of return item. In this manner, ebay action not only detrimental to seller also deprived seller valuable item that is amounting to fraud. Regrettable ebay has illegally infringed online trade practices and performing outside ebay framework. Whereabout the item was unknown, ebay demanded reimbursement of amount and debited my paypal account for the amount, supend my account if amount not reimbursed. Where can I seek redress?

EBAY INDIA- Scott Frederick Schenkel, Kyung Ho Koh.

Beware of Ebay and Paisapay, These guys are selling counterfeit and stolen products, besides selling stolen, and illegal products.
It is very very risky to buy from Ebay. Buyers beware you may land up buying stolen laptop or mobile phone or painting or jewellary.

Ebay is world's platform for selling illegal goods, counterfeit products, fake Chinese products, even counterfeit bogus and pirated engineering and aircraft parts.

Watch out directors behind this platform who do all sort of illegal business here : Rajendra Nilkanth Punde, Scott Frederick Schenkel, Kyung Ho Koh, Dakshesh Vinod Modi, Latif Majid Nathani

Govt of India must ban ebay in India . Even from Sellers who sell fake counterfeit stolen products they take huge commission so they are directly part of promoting illegal business.

BIDALLIES - BIDALLIES.com, a Seller through eBay, sent me a cell phone that I purchased through eBay, that arrived cracked and broken. The gave me a return authorization number and I sent the phone back two weeks ago and have NOT received a replacement yet. I've sent them multiple emails with no response. I've now been without a cell phone for 2 weeks. Called the complete foreign ###S over at eBay customer support a total of 4 times now to resolve this and still nothing.

BIDALLIES generates thousands of dollars per month to eBay in seller commissions so obviously eBay will side with them. eBay could care less about little buyers like you and me. They are all about the money. How else could sellers get away with selling counterfeit products on eBay.com? Scams!

This is a LIAR SCAMMER seller in eBay selling JUNK to SCAM buyers for quick money.
When I received the junk faucet, it totally different from what I ordered, which I clearly reminded seller with a message went out with my order. I complaint to this seller (I should complaint to eBay immediately). This SHAMELESS SELLER pretended to send me replacement parts to fix the problem. But he just lie to me to buy time; as soon as it passed eBay's resolution period, this LIAR SCAMMER "3dayandnight" totally ignored all my email; and of course I never receive any replacement parts. Now I just got a piece of junk on hand.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SCAMMER SELLER "3dayandnight". He sells JUNKS to SCAMMER BUYERS for quick money. His dirty way is to drag on the case until it passed eBay's resolution period, then he will ignore you totally and pocket you money.

I made a sale on ebay. The buyer received the item and contact me to say not as described. I advised buyer to return for full refund if not happy. Buyer stated he did not want to return and wanted a refund. I contacted ebay to advise that buyer is not following proper procedure and buyer has made a statement that he will not prove, buyer wants to keep the item and buyer also wants a refund. Ebay advised they would not get involved. I did not submit to this buyers extortion demand to keep the item and get a refund. Buyer then leaves me unwarranted negative feedback. I again contact ebay about this wrong and the buyers extortion demand of a refund and keep the item. Ebay advised they would again not get involved. I escalated to a supervisor and was actually told by an ebay supervisor that I should have just paid the buyer off!

I bought an item on ebay or so I thought and spent $3000 via money pak and come to find out it was all a scam. I received a transaction with the listing seller from ebay stating that a transactiin was started between myself and the seller telling me what to do. I went ahead and bought money pak cards and gave the seller the information on the card. I was told that I would receive a tracking number for the item and never did. I contacted ebay and they told me that they show no transaction between myself and the seller. I finally found out how to access the money pak and low and behold the money on the cards are all gone. I have all the of the emails and money pak card information.

I have just been ripped off by the eBay Global Shipping program, and Pittney Bowes USA, enforced on me by an eBay seller called igiveback, for $299.42 sales taxes, since they won't give you a proper invoice, even with no proper business headings. Please see the attached photo of the only document they sent me after a long stint for me of finding a Mr Right and about 15 emails to seller, Pittney Bowes and eBay resolution center starting a case. IMO Pittney Bowes USA pocket it themselves then. PS Ebay blocked my "case" since they were "judging" in favor of their large seller (called igiveback) on eBay. For me eBay is out, igiveback too. Trying to give negative feedback on the deal on eBay was blocked since "the case was closed". eBay sucks, and be warned !

Growing up in Tampa, I spent a period of time fascinated by a
quirky, eye-catching landmark at Fletcher Avenue and Interstate 75. This
was also the period of time I spent obsessed with making binoculars out
of toilet paper rolls and necklaces out of pop tops. To me, this sight
was the epitome of similar creative craziness, and I often found myself
looking for it during car journeys, hoping it hadn’t disappeared
overnight.

But time passes and so does the urge for pop-top necklaces, and
observant eyes don’t notice the same sights. It wasn’t until recently
that I once again took note of the scene, with its broken down orange
helicopter, a tree made of what seems to be indestructible balloons and a
blue-and-white house covered with trash remade into art.

It’s the home of Hong Kong Willie, artist of reuse.

I finally paid a visit to this art gallery after many years of
wondering about the story behind it. The pavement leading to the door is
painted with handprints and splatters, the store edged with upside down
Coke bottles. Streams of lobster buoys hang from the roof and also make
up the “tree” I marveled at so often from my car window.

Various shoes, bottles, clocks and signs are glued to the side
of the store, and there’s a tribute to Sept. 11 off to the side. No one
seemed to be home, so I called the number on the “WE’RE OPEN” sign,
which brought a middle-aged man in a bright Hawaiian shirt from behind
the store.

After a few basic questions, Joe Brown begins to open up about the history surrounding his art.

Brown, better known as Hong Kong Willie, says he was an artist
from the start. “Everyone is born an artist, ” he said. “However some are
granted the gift of being able to express that art.”

As a young boy, his mother decided to send him to art school, which he says changed the course of his life forever.

At the age of 8, Brown recalls being heavily influenced by the
lessons, which included transforming a Gerber baby bottle, something
with no real value, into a piece of art. His teacher had spent an
enormous amount of time and effort in Hiroshima, Japan, helping those
affected by the atomic bombs. Brown learned many lessons about recycling
from this teacher, who had come from Hong Kong. Brown added an American
name, Willie, to Hong Kong for his nickname Hong Kong Willie.

While Brown grew up to be an artist, he left the world of mainstream art to return to his background in technology.

“But on Nov. 13th, 1981 … on a Friday at 1:30 in the afternoon,
I had an epiphany, ” Brown says. “I was at a friend’s house right across
the street, ” pausing to point at a row of apartments across from his
store, “and a series of events led me to rejoin the art world.”

With the help of two other artists, Brown set up his business
in the Florida Keys in the early 1980s, then moved it to Tampa.
Together, they believed that they were predestined for the Green
Movement, and have been making art out of recyclables for close to 30
years.

How’s business? He smiles. “It’s pretty wild.”

Inside, Hong Kong Willie’s art includes glossy pieces of
driftwood restored and painted with beautiful landscapes and kernels of
truth, some of the gorgeous work priced in the six figures. But there’s
also a wide collection of handmade bags, wooden sculptures and sassy
bracelets for more moderate prices.

A portion of the proceeds go to benefit the Green Movement, Brown says.

With a laid-back swagger, Brown continues. “We live pretty
minimally. And all the funds we get from donations and our art sales are
delegated to green projects.”

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I decided to visit Hong
Kong Willie. Certainly not the breathtaking art inside, and definitely
not the history behind it. I’m feeling thick-headed for not visiting
years ago, and say so.

Brown offers a last bit of insight:

“I’m a big believer in predestination and timing. If someone is
not ready to view art, the door is closed. Every piece of art that is
made, and every project we do is done for a reason. It doesn’t matter if
that reason shows up the next day, or walks in six years later; every
piece of art will find a home.”

I've learned that there's one thing you can count on Ebay for, and that's to drop the ball. Their “buyer protection” is worthless, and that lesson has cost me $1490.00. Ebay is protecting a dishonest seller. They have closed a claim case, with the knowledge that proper delivery protocol was not followed, and that the item has been returned to the seller. The seller, wunderkid45, or David wunderli has both the item I paid for, and my $1490.00. Ebay's advice is for me to file an interstate small claims suit if I want my money back-ridiculous. Ebay closed the case without even tracking the item, but when pressed acknowledged that it has been returned to the seller. On top of that, I can't even leave honest feedback to warn other buyers-Ebay blocked it since they decided the case in his favor, allowing him to keep both the item and the money with no consequences whatsoever. I have been run around in circles for weeks between Ebay and Paypal.

I want to report this scammer of EBAY which I was a victim at the expense of 1490 USD, be careful with this user ebay because it has 100% positive feedback, so I was a victim for confident, pay him right through international money order, so I can not do anything to get my money, but this is just to warn you that even taking 100% positives and yet still user since 1999 may cheat you. The name of the scammer is David Wunderli. with username of ebay wunderkid45 Please avoid at all costs! .

Möchte ich diese Betrüger, von denen ich war ein Opfer auf Kosten von 1.490 USD, seien Sie vorsichtig mit diesem Benutzer ebay, weil es 100% positive Bewertungen hat zu melden, so dass ich ein Opfer für die selbstbewusste war, zahlen ihm rechts durch internationale Postanweisung, so kann ich nicht alles tun, um mein Geld zu bekommen, aber das ist nur, um Sie zu warnen, dass auch unter 100% positiv und dennoch benutzer seit 1999 können Sie zu betrügen. Der Name der Betrüger ist David Wunderli. Bitte vermeiden Sie um jeden Preis.

Je tiens à signaler cette arnaque dont j'ai été victime au détriment de 1490 USD, être prudent avec cet utilisateur ebay car il a 100% rétroaction positive, si j'ai été victime de confiance, de lui payer en passant par mandat international, donc je ne peux pas rien faire pour récupérer mon argent, mais c'est juste pour vous avertir que même en prenant 100% de positifs et pourtant utilisateur depuis 1999 peut vous tromper. Le nom de l'escroc est David Wunderli. S'il vous plaît éviter à tout prix.

A family member purchased a used iPhone from a seller on eBay. Now, eBay states on the website that they do not sell stolen goods, and do not allow sellers to list stolen goods for sale. You expect everything you buy to therefore be the rightful property of the seller. The phone we were sent we quickly discovered had been reported stolen from the rightful owner. The sim card had been left in the phone, and the rightful owner was contacted by text- the individual that the phone was registered to and who had purchased a phone contact which was still in effect. He believed a neighbor had stolen his phone, and had reported it to the police. By checking the serial number, we confirmed that the number he gave us was a match.
We told the seller that the phone was being returned due to the fact that it was stolen. His response? "Well, duh". Again, eBay does not allow stolen goods to be sold, however, that is what the seller himself admitted to.
The phone was returned at our expense, and we sent the necessary information regarding the shipment to the true owner as well in order to help him get his phone back.
We asked eBay for a refund of the shipment costs. Their response? Nothing. Clearly eBay's own CEO doesn't care that sellers are ignoring his request not to list stolen goods and that customers are unwilling accomplices to criminal activity.
Won't be shopping on eBay ever again. Disgraceful.

I ordered the Brand New Nokia Lumia 822 from US via global eBay .

I wish to state that there has been three major differences between the expected and the actual item condition .

Firstly, when I opened the box, I got the mobile, the back side was laden with the somewhat dirty finger prints .As the mobile is black in color, these finger prints became quite visible .

Secondly, the SIM slot was already bearing the Verizon micro SIM card .

Thirdly, the battery of the cell phone should have been present separately in envelope, but in this case it was already present in the cell phone cover .

Owing to these facts, it appears that the phone has already been used and proper care has not been used while repackaging the phone and re-selling it as Brand "New" .

Last but not least, the cell phone cover should have got the external wrap packing cover too, bit in this case it has just got the box .

I raised the claim for the item refund / replacement as eBay policy says “If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase on eBay, eBay will ensure that you receive a replacement or a full refund within 20 days”.

I got the call from them, and they said the item is in retailer box and hence the claim has been denied .

I got the mail from them which says :
"Action : Buyer did not provide Proof of "Item not as described" - Claim Denied"

I don't understand as what proofs are required from my side, as I have already given them the mobile snaps .

Here are the details of the order and as well as eBay claim raised :

Claim ID: 398098
PaisaPay ID: [protected]
Item number: [protected]
Seller ID: i2cworld_inc3
Date claim opened: 31-01-2014

After trying to post an ad on Ebayclassifieds.com, it was quickly deleted. I email the company asking for an explanation as to why the ad was removed and some little ### by the name of Neil said that my company was an affiliate marketing company and that my ads are not welcome on the site. I will upload the conversation as an attachment.

Here is the ad I tried to place, you tell me if the ad gives the impression that the company is somehow a referral marketing company as [censored] Neil claims... This little computer nerd, Neil, should get a clue and stop being jealous of others success.

I purchased an item on ebay for $1, 375 in Dec of 2013. I did not agree with the description of item so I opened a case to get a refund. The seller & I talked back & forth and the seller decided to give me a partial refund of $375.
I agreed on that and proceeded to the next step and learned later that my next step was incorrect and now they (Ebay) cannot make the seller honor their (seller) offer.
On the emails from seller to me, Ebay has buttons to respond, end case, proceed, etc.
Well, after I responded and agreed to the refund, all I saw was a button to end case... it did say (pop up window) .. only select this if you and seller have worked out the issue, or something to that effect. I did hesitate for a moment, but thought yes, she offered, I wrote back I accepted and thanks for working with me, etc. Days, weeks later, no refund. After going back and forth, seller said they talked with Ebay and that Ebay said that since I closed the case "before" getting my rebate, that she didn't have to pay me.. so of course, she now says she will not pay, even tho that is what she offered me.
Ebay says they cannot not dispute the case since it was I who closed case.. I told them they have my permission to override my choice (since it really was an accident that the wrong button was selected) ... they said no. Money had already been given to seller they cannot make her uphold her offer, apologetic but said no.
I am very disappointed in Ebay's Buyer's Protection ... obviously there was no protection for me and was told nothing further I can do, it was up to the honesty/integrity of the seller to follow through.Is there another step I can take... does anyone know? This has been very frustrating and makes me distrust Ebay commitment to it's customers.Any ideas on where to go fro here?

I received a message from eBay stating possible action would be taken against me
due to the a number of refunds I had received for purchases..

The items in question were purchased based on false/incorrect description on eBay
by the seller. I clearly identified the problem in my complaints when requesting an adjustment, yet I received the notice!
Rather than warning the buyer, eBay fails to take action regarding the sellers false/incorrect descriptions?
Items in question:
Ø New Black Men's FashionTungsten Steel Text Wrist Watch Watches Sinobi Gift-Item # [protected] - [NOT MADE OF TUNGSTEN]

Ø AntiShock Cork HandleWalking Hiking Pole Trekking Hiking Stick 135 cm-Item # [protected] - [NO AntiShock FEATURES]

Purchased a $12 item that was never delivered via my Visa Debit Card which paypal was responcible for a guarantee against loss!
When I never got the item, They claimed I would have to register as a member to paypal in order to receive a refund after my purchase.
This information was never disclosed before my purchase, as I would have never purchased the item under those conditions!
This was a deliberate bait and switch operation and is also known as mis-advertisement in the industry. The reason I would not register is that it gives them full access to my bank accounts and retail is about to have 25, 000 layoff from the retail trade. An employee would have access to withdraw my funds from my bank upon his notice of layoff.. Because I won't do that, they refuse to refund my money lost! which was never a condition of purchase! This is forced registration for refunds! I can provide exact copy of their PM demanding such conditions!
