cancelled ads without reason
My ads 3 ea. were cancelled without any reason given and despite bids. I have been a member since Mar 2, 2010 and sold 4 items with feedback on 3, all positive. ebay wanted me to fax a copy of my credit card statement, drivers liscense, and receipts for items I was attempting to sell ie., sony camcorder, watch, and binoculars. I am unable to get any input or reasons but I guarantee I have folowed their policies and that their action is completely arbitrary. This seems to me to be an incredible abuse which contradicts their business objectives and those of both buyers and sellers. I would love to have the facts and data reviewed and I would like to participate in a class action.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Diamonds
Daniel.diamonds sells clarity enhanced and "natural" loose diamonds on Ebay. Look very carefully at all their feedback because many people leave negative feedback about the diamonds being nothing like described, but under positive or neutral feedback. Personally I have bought several diamonds that have been completely not as described with much lower color and clarity grades, off completely in size and measurements, and one that was supposedly natural clarity and fancy yellow that was clarity enhanced and a light yellow, not fancy (supposedly heated but who knows).
He frequently sells diamonds that are not as described and issues partial or complete refunds. Just look carefully at his feedback- ignore the items that are for a small amount of money and look at the larger diamonds. This can be a complete waste of time for those who do return items. A lot of people don’t mind the enormous inaccuracies in his descriptions because some people are uninformed and sometimes the diamonds are still good value but some are total junk or people expected them to be as described.
Since the diamonds are not just off by several color and clarity grades, but are actually totally off in size and measurements, the stones he is listing are not actually the ones that he is sending. It seems that based on the final price paid they try to very roughly match a diamond they have in stock so you really aren't bidding on an actual set diamond at all. The only thing remotely similar may be the shape and colour (yellow, pink, blue) but all white or off white diamonds seem to be top light brown or faint yellow.
Also the diamonds are all in Israel, he lists them as being in New York and returns are sent to New Jersey. On paypal he is Rami Aloni, non-US verified. In all emails I have addressed him as Daniel and he has not corrected me. He completely misrepresents himself and his diamonds yet presents as so cordial and "sincere" that it throws you off guard and at first you think there has been some mistake, like the wrong diamond has been sent, which he explains to you has happened- but repeatedly? Impossible.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
If they're from Israel, that's reason enough for me not to buy them. They're off by 1-2 grades invariably.
fraud
I opened an ad on eBay & decided to purchase the vehicle. Was in contact with the seller & thought I was doing all the right things. Once I opened the site, without my knowledge, this buyer had taken over my whole ebay account and operating as eBay, answering my Live Chat, telling me all the right information, explaining how this was the the correct method to operate. They sent me emails under eBay. They then told me how to send money to be protected by eBays' new protection plan, which I fell for & did. $8563.75 gone. I wired the money to a woman's name that was suppose to be eBays' agent; which eBay verified when I contacted the live chat. It was all done under eBay's name, format, titles. These people took over my whole system. Big Scam that should be stopped
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I received a notice telling my that my account had been suspended because I did not comply with their company ethics. I was given an email address to where I could communicate. I wrote to them and asked them why.
I have NEVER purchased OR sold ANYTHING on ebay.
Ebay responded back and said that I could re-instate my account if I sent them a copy of my credit card statement, my bank account statement, my drivers license and a few more things.
I was SHOCKED! In a world where identity is being stolen every single day, why in the world does this online company need all of this very private information from me just so I can look at what people have put out there for sale?
This is ONE COMPANY I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH!
WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THEY UP TO? I'm VERY afraid!
Stole money from me unwillingly.
I WON AN EBAY ACTION AND WAS SPOOFED BY AN EBAY MEMBER FROM WITHIN THE MESSAGES AREA OF THEIR WEBSITE AND WAS GUIDED TO PAY THEM CRIMINALS $3000.00.
EBAY ACKNOWLEDGED THE FRAUD AND REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME.
THAEY HAVE NO PHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPPORT.
THEY DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS.
THE LOCAL SHERIFF HAS VALIDATED MY FRAUD AND CLAIM BUT SAYS IT HAS TO BE A CIVAL LAWSUIT WHICH MEANS MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET.
EBAY IS IN COLLUSION WITH THE CRIMINALS.
NEVER SHOP ON EBAY.
I have sold one item on ebay and the buyer have made the payment as well, he even acknolwledged the receipt of the good.
However, ebay committed a fraud by not paying me my amount under a stupid reason of severe policy violation. Strangely they will not even tell what is that policy violation. moreover they are such stupid that they have the audacity to drop the phone when i ask them what should i do,
i request all members not to use EBAY AND PAISAPAY AS THIS IS A SERIOUS FRAUD AND THEY ARE THE BIGGEST CHEAT DOING BUSINESS OPENLY AND CHEATING BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS.
My account id : amalendu2009
I sold an item (( # [protected]) to an American Dr. in Northborough for US$ 358. The person paid through paypal and I sent the item by registered mail. After that he claimed his money from Ebay (NOT paypal) as the item ‘was not received’ (Case # [protected]), so the amount was deducted automatically from my account. As fraud was very evident, I started an investigation at the Dutch postal Customer Service. I got a report that the item was received on the 12th of Febr. 2011. Ebay.com cannot read the report as it is written in Dutch. On his turn Ebay.nl refers to ebay.com. Ebay is en expert in giving replies without contents, that is to say they are very good in sending useless info and only refer to other sites, persons but they are not able to solve a matter like this. Moreover they are not interested doing this and they tolerate and reward this type of fraud. I stopped selling after 12 years. To me Ebay-protection is down to zero.
Chenna2
I purchased a camera from a EBay person in the US it was $29.00 + $7.50 S+H, total $36.50 The camera would not work with out a Memory Card. The add. stated it was working and there was nothing saying the card was not included, in the "Items Specifics" section there was a card included. I was told by the seller I would be refunded the cost $29.00 less S+H. To send it back with a tracking number, that is needed to prove it was returned, it cost $19.45. I called Pay Pal and I was told "All the charges would be refunded Plus all S+H (both ways). When it had been returned I was only credited the $29.00 cost. WAS I SOME MAD. I contacted EBay and was directed to Pay Pal. Pay Pal said that the policy was S+H was never returned to the purchaser. I then asked to talk to the manager and she (I think) went to the original recording of my conversion with their rep. and found that that is what I had been told. She then returned all the S+H and then said that the S+H is always the purchasers responsibility and it would never be returned to me again. So we need to watch how much the S+H is in order to get our money back. These people are able to sell FAULTY products by selling it FREE with only S+H charged. We need be careful of this kind of FRAUDULANT activity when purchasing and paying for the items that way. We are not protected from this kind of selling.
It's not Ebay's fault it's your own. Ebay has plenty of tutorials on how to purchase things on their site. It's you not doing your due diligance. Not only are there escrow companies to protect you money, but inspection companies to inspect the vehicle. If you're unwilling to protect yourself then just send your money to your favorite charity and quit complaining
I would also like to add that you when buying an expensive item, always go for local pick up and cash on collection. This way if you are unsatisfied, you can decline and at most you'll lose your eBay account. Never, never pay via wire transfer or western union, as it is not traceable. I've seen scam buyers send genuine PayPal emails stating they have paid and if do not post the item, you'll be suspended. So as a seller first get the money transferred to your bank account or in hand before sending the item. As a buyer, prefer to buy via a traceable payment. PayPal, check, dd etc. PayPal has a buyer and seller protection where you can get a great extent of your money back, but this also takes time cause they are always first in taking money but last in giving back.
obssessive and controlling manner
I am 40 years old and I have never dealt with such an obsessed, paranoid, controlling, uncaring and ridiculous company in my entire life.
They have gone past the point of customer care or concern.
If they went bust tomorrow it wouldn't matter because the owners are set up for life! They know that so what does it matter to them!
All this time they are laughing in our faces because they know that some people depend on ebay as an income!
My biggest dream in the world would be for ebay to go under tomorrow and everybody all team together in the biggest law suit in the entire world and sue the owners for gross misconduct and lack of morals and care for their customers!
Maybe being at the bottom of the pile in this life will remind then exactly how difficult life can be when you really have to work for everything you have got in life!
AMEN! I think it's best to use other avenues when possible like amazon or cragis list and I so hope that another good auction site will come to be. That's all that needs to happen-a site that does what e-bay does w/ good CS. I will never sell there again, but sometimes use it to buy, when I have to.
Anger, bitterness, harassment by purse board users
I have found many complaints about the Ebay Purse Discussion Board and tPF but, since most of those seemed to have gotten out of control, I thought a new thread was in order.
I never posted to the Ebay Purse Discussion Board but I have spent time reading posts over the last year or so. Many of the ladies there were valuable sources of information. The problem I had was that I had to sift through post after post crap to get to the informative posts. I saw people post what they felt were honest questions or responses to questions ridiculed and harassed. What purpose does that serve? Even if the questions seemed "stupid" or the person asking it was less than gracious at reading something they didn't want to read, wouldn't using the "ignore" feature be the adult thing to do? Reacting to bad behavior with bad behavior makes one wonder who the "bad" party is. I have seen sellers ask questions that the "boardies" apparently thought was beneath them to answer but then answered anyway with insults.
While I am not a big fan of "rules", I understand that rules are made when supposedly responsible adults prove they need to be policed. Griff posted some clarified rules for posting to the board. Apparently someone somewhere felt that if posters were going to behave like children, they should be treated like children. Is it fair? I suppose it is about as fair as being harassed in a discussion forum. Upon reading these rules, the ladies went ballistic. They accused one seller for making this happen. Then they accused anyone that spoke out about the harassment of that seller (and others) on the board of being that one seller (including me). Paranoid much?
They turned to auctionbytes.com to state their case as many of the "boardies" were "pink slapped" and some were indefinately sanctioned from the boards. Some of the posts there got out of hand. Wild accusations about who was who were posted by several (or was it one with different posting IDs?). It got to be so ridiculous that Ina shut off their comments on her blog. They blamed the one poster for getting them sanctioned (couldn't be their posts that got them sanctioned, right?), Griff for making rules that made it supposedly impossible to authenticate purses (funny, there are several making the system work the best that they can), counterfeit sellers for their harassment of top-rated sellers...and the list goes on.
So, what is a bunch bored "bordies" to do you ask? Well, let me tell you. They go to other sites like Ina's blog on auctionbytes.com (before she shut of their comments, that is), the Purse Forum, YouTube, and this site and begin to harass the seller that they feel caused them all this grief. They have posted her name (I assume it's her real name), her seller ID, the state in which she lives (I assume she really lives there). They have harassed and belittled her (and her family) in their vicious posts. Yet they wonder why they have beened banned (whether temporarily or permanently). They attacked Griff as if their viciousness was somehow his fault (or ebay's). And, let us not forget that they have accused numerous people of being either Griff or this certain seller. Sometimes a poster to a discussion can be both of them at the same time (seems the ladies don't always agree).
I hope the "boardies" find what it is that is lacking in their lives that makes them behave as though they are the only ones that have the right to be angry by this mess. If you are really looking for a target ladies, try your mirror. You got your hands slapped. So what? Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!
And before you continue your attack (through your posts or your pending "lawsuit") you might want to read the following (I found it rather informative):
Publishing Contact Information
Publishing contact information of another eBay member in any online public area is not permitted. If you experience a violation of this policy, please report it using the Customer Support link at the bottom of this page. When reporting, please be sure to send a copy of the post with the subject line.
Violation of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Listing cancellation
Limits on account privileges
Account suspension
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
If you are still buying or selling on Ebay, you might want to ask yourself if your account can be connected to the posts I mentioned above.
I copied from a post made on another thread by Bag in the Saddle (I hope you don't mind Bag):

I'm with you. Personally, I think the reason she has so much is that she wrote to EBay and Griff under lots and lots of different names, as well as recruiting other members to do the same. One thing we know is that she uses lots of names and has lots of energy and lots of words. I think it was just a barrage and they were convinced by the sheer number. That's my theory anyway.
Let me help you a little bit here ladies:
Mark my words, this isn't the work of just one person. I have been lurking on the eBay purse board for a year. Ebay doesn't respond to the complaints of one (or just a few) as you well know. This is several years worth of many sellers and posters crying foul. What gives her (and the others that are sick of being bullied and harassed) so much power is...YOU.
You women have harassed this seller and posted her personal information all over the internet. You aren't turning buyers away from her as this behavior takes any and all credibility away from your claims that she sells fakes or is shill bidding. Honestly, you make me want to buy a purse from her. When anyone is targeted on several websites mercilessly and endlessly, it makes me wonder what the harassers are really trying to accomplish. I recall one poster posting a picture of one of this sellers items on the eBay board and asking why she was making so much less than your "favorite seller" on pre-owned Coach bags. At this point it seemed to me that the hate for this seller had nothing to do with fakes, shill bidding or a buying guide. Those are just handy excuses you all use because you think it will work better than the truth. Try this one on for size: We all hate (insert sellers name here) because she isn't one of us, yet she is a top-rated seller with an excellent track record who gets top dollar for her handbags. There, now doesn't the truth feel better?
I won't even dignify the multiple posting ID subject with a paragraph here...that is, unless you ladies really want me to?
Wow Bag, I don't even know how to respond to that post. Could you post the link so we can see it in all its shamefulness. I would really love to read it. I can tell you that she is alot nicer than I would have been if someone had falsely accused me and had my listing removed. I am sure the "boardies" would not have been so gracious if the tables had been turned.
I find this all so very sad and pathetic. It's no wonder the purse board got a face lift. It was terribly ugly underneath. Uglier than I would have ever suspected after a year of reading posts there.
I am still trying to wrap my mind around the poster who is posting personal information under many IDs in any public forum she can find. The name "Sybil" comes to mind. Is she a banned member of the purse board? Does she think her insane behavior will some how get her back on the boards?
I have noticed one thing though. If she ever had any friends on the board, they have completely abandoned her. I have noticed on all of the public forums no one seems to address her odd behavior or back it up as we have seen the boardies do for each other time and time again. I guess without friends she has plenty of time for stalking and dreaming up new posting IDs.
I feel sorry for you flyincoach688. I truly hope that there is still someone left in your life that still cares enough to get you the psychological help you so desperately need. While many stalkers view their actions within a delusional framework and therefore see no need to get help, a few do actually approach professionals. I hope that you are one of those few.
Try this resource:
www.apa.org
I saw that HolyCanoli...and I hope you are you're wrong but I don't have much confidence in that either. Sad.
Well HolyCanoli, I cannot say why they do it (what benefit they were getting from their posts, etc.) but I can say that the board is a much more pleasurable place to read these days.
I also do not know anything about their expertise per se, but I do know that some of the behavior (and I can only speak for what I have actually seen) was far from professional. It's hard to take someone seriously when they feel that "rude or snide remarks" as you put it, are the way to get your point across. Far from it!
My sincere hope is that this thread can remain civil and be a place where honest opinions (both for and against my original post) can be "voiced" without fear of harassment or intimidation tactics. Name calling and many of the accusations I have seen flying around in other sites are juvenile at best. It's like being in junior high school again. I am not afraid of being called names (sticks and stones and all that) it just makes it difficult to have a reasonable adult discussion.
Anyway, thank you for your input. And don't worry about them coming in to attack me for having an opinion. I have my big girl panties on as well as some really great boots!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
This all boils down to one word- jealousy.
Most of this is spurred by one woman, Jerri Pope, known as Purseservere @ Bonanzl- she can't get along. She was removed from these forums when she couldn't play well with others and now she's vindictive. She lies about her location, the condition of her bags, her "Italian" leather worker, Tony, on and on. She was confronted about this stuff and other unethical practices on TPF and EBay. ALL these pages are her response. This is how big her jealousy gets.
There are other people who write some of this sometimes but she was and is the driving force. and it's pointless to talk with her. she can't have conversations. Read through these pages and it's pretty clear. She'll end up booted off of effenhaute next.
So in the end we say move on, nothing to see here...

WOW! For those disgrunted ebay and PF forum members, there is an alternative new venue... effenhaute.com
Once again our illustrious spewer of questionable facts has it all wrong. You're just not able to keep anything straight anymore. The net site has counterfeits, the eLuxury.com site used to sell authentic and was owned by LV.
If you are even allowed to go on TPF and do a full blown search of ELuxurybags.net you'll see threads condemning them as a fake site. No one recommends them as authentic. but it's easy to confuse the two sites, even for you... (which *ahem* is why they were named that in the first place)!
But you asked us to do an internet search on the Purse Forum. Well.. here it is:

Wow I almost wished it wasn't. Some of the gucci bags looked questionable to me but they quoted 100% authentic. I am so naive *sigh*

what a pity...looks like long time members of the ebay purse board are getting NARU
I'm*back*in*the*saddle*again - NO LONGER A REGISTERED USER
My, my, wonder who's next?
"Let's see. Flyin and her IDs are now NARU.
Ours aren't, "
Funny how that works, isn't it?
What ever will she do now?
Let's see. Flyin and her IDs are now NARU.
Ours aren't.
Karma. It's a life force.

POSTED ON THE EBAY PURSE BOARD BY DARIA48... (OUR REPLIES IN CAPS)
An expert is someone who does her own research instead of copying everyone else's and then claiming she discovered everything by herself.
EVEN THOUGH YOU GOT MOST OF THAT INFO FROM EVERYONE ELSE?
An expert is someone who recognises a fake serial number when she sees one.
OF COURSE
An expert is someone who's willing to learn from people who are smarter and more experienced than she instead of trying to denigrate their expertise.
(NO ONE COULD BE SMARTER OR KNOW MORE THAN YOU, OR POSSIBLY HAVE ANY KIND OF EXPERIENCE .YOU NEVER EVEN BOTHER TO ASK WHAT OTHERS EXPERIENCES ARE, AND ASSUME THEY HAVE NONE. )
An expert is someone who knows that what you see isn't always what you get.
(NO [censored]!)
An expert is someone who doesn't need to use 25 or 30 different posting IDs to share her expertise. One or two are usually enough. She has enough self-respect in her own knowledge to put her name and reputation on the line every time she posts.
(WHAT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH QUALIFYING AS AN EXPERT? HALF THE 'SO CALLED 'EXPERTS' ON THAT BOARD USE POSTING ID'S)
An expert is someone who doesn't go ballistic when someone with more knowledge and experience corrects a mistake or criticises a comment. An expert LEARNS from a mistake, instead of attacking the person who's pointed it out.
(EVEN WHEN THAT SO CALLED 'EXPERT' IS WRONG? OR HOW ABOUT CORRECTING A MISTAKE IN A CIVIL TONE, WITHOUT INSULTING EVERYONE?)
An expert enjoys sharing knowledge with other experts rather than seeing them as enemies and declaring vendetta on them.
YOU MEAN LIKE YOU HAVE? THIS WHOLE POST IS AN ATTACK AND VENDETTA! ha! YOU DON'T EVER LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE. YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING. WHEN AYONE ELSE OFFERS ANY INFORMATION, ALL YOU DO IS ARGUE, EVEN IF YOU'RE WRONG, JUST BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COME FROM YOU.
An expert knows when her expertise is no match for greed and stupidity, and will act accordingly.
HERE'S MY TAKE ON WHAT QUALIFIES ONE TO BE AN EXPERT...
1. A DEGREE OR A CERTIFICATION TO PROVE QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
2. PERMISSION IN WRITING ( certificate )FROM THE COMPANIES YOU ARE REPRESENTING
3. A CERTIFICATE FROM EBAY THAT SAYS YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO REPRESENT THEM, FOR THESE COMPANIES.
MORAL OF THE STORY...ANYONE CAN 'CLAIM' THEY ARE A DOCTOR. WITHOUT A LICENCE, YOU CAN GET SUED OR IN ALOT OF TROUBLE. SAME APPLIES TO ALL AREAS OF SO CALLED EXPERTISE. EVERYTHING STATED ABOVE BY DARIA48, THAT STATES HER TAKE ON WHAT AN EXPERT IS, IS JUST NONSENSE.HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT QUALIFIES ANYONE TO BE AN EXPERT ON ANYTHING. JUST EMOTINAL [censored].
bad complaint policies
Our only defense against scam purchases through Ebay is the ability to post negative feedback towards the scammer so others will know to avoid them. Ebay has changed their time limits for filing negative feedback. If you haven't done it within 30 days of the purchase, you are out of luck. Scam sellers like gold3288gold (T-Motorsports) deliberately wait two to three weeks to send you the product. As in my case, the item was missing a part when it arrived so I was required to send it back for a replacement which took another 14 days to come back. Then it didn't work, so I sent it back for replacement. 14 days later it came back in the same condition so I requested my money back. They said, "Up Yours. The 30-day refund limit has passed". Then I find out I cannot leave negative feedback because Ebay takes that privilege away after 30 days. That completely sucks, especially when you have warranty issues like in my case. Such things can take months to finalize The seller can use Ebay's stupid rules against unsuspecting buyers by using delaying tactics. I shall deal with retailers before I ever purchase anything through Ebay again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Yep, T-MOTORSPORTS (gold3288gold) treated me in a similar manner. Bought a motorcycle battery from them with an advertised one year warranty. I got about 6 starts before it died in less than 50 days! When I asked for a replacement, they told me 30 days was up and they would not exchange it or refund my $53.00...WTF?
I would not buy a glass of water from them if I was dying of thirst!
scam company
I am extremely pissed. I broke down and bought a GH1 from time2envy earlier this month. I thought they were the only ones to have gotten the US GH1. Sadly, when I received it I saw on the box that it was PAL, when I accessed the "film mode" it said AVCHD/25p, it came with an additional European plug, and the instructions had certain words spelled differently like "programme" and "colour". Dead giveaway that its the UK version. IN ADDITION TO THAT - they forgot to include the card reader, they upgraded me to glass filters, but they were too small, the wide angle lens they included was too small, and the additional "longer life" battery that I bought didn't work in the camera. After I sent it back to them, they said I had to pay a 15% restocking fee ($300!) because I didn't include a piece of cardboard that held the GH-1 in the box. I told them to screw off, and disputed the charge on my Credit Card. They then had the BALLS to return the package to me, saying it was damaged and that I COULDN'T RETURN IT!
I did a bit of digging and found out that their alias is Broadway Photo! Other stories about them here:

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Time2Envy is a part of a scam operation that had been exposed few years back in Brooklyn.
I did some digging as well after my Nikon d90 stopped working. These scammers sold a GREY market camera without warranty so I couldn't fix it. I also bought the cheap junk battery that didn't charge. I tried talking to them but they have been very rude and unwilling to solve my issues. Don't do business with them or with their other company Big Value Inc they suck!
Few days ago (searching for a new Nikon) I found out that Big value Inc is the same thing and decided to stay away from eBay. i feel like It is unsafe and doesn't worth the hassle.

holding my account hostage
Not sure where to begin. I sold a piece of radio gear to a user named Appboone. Turned out to be a liar and cheat, only wanted to cause trouble, didn't really want to buy the equipment. Buyer claimed equipment was illegal to sell or possess (not true). When I left negative feedback for non-payment, buyer went ballistic and promised to post false slandering comments about me all over the internet. Buyer did so using a false name. I went to every website I could find a complaint posted about me and did likewise in return. When I posted the buyers real name and city/state and used my real name in case any others wanted to contact me with further information about this looney-tune, eBay yanked my account and buyer began physically threatening my grandchildren. It's been over three years and the website where I posted the buyer's multiple assumed names (Maria Spencer, Jason Spencer, of Jefferson, NC) have not removed my comments, and refuse to do so. eBay will not re-instate my account until the website removes it, so I'm in a catch-22 situation. As such it won't hurt my account to post their names here. Apparently Appboone yanked around one too many sellers, and eBay has canceled that account. Even though Appboone is no longer a customer of eBay, eBay still won't remove my account suspension. Almost 400 positive feedbacks (only two negatives) flushed down the toilet! So don't say anything about a bad buyer, eBay will yank your account, and you don't get a second chance. Apparently it's a "life sentence". Even the criminal justice system is not this cruel! eBay is an anti-freedom-of-speech conglomerate!

ebay is a scam
I bought a ps2 video game through ebay from a private seller. Three weeks went by, no product. I opened a case through ebay and paypal. They both claim to be investigating the case. Next thing I know, paypal sent me an email stating that I have closed the case. I reopened the case, ebay is making it difficult to contact their service support. They are all avoiding the fact now that they should refund some money. Do not trust either lowsy company.. They are crooks. I have documented proof of all I have stated here. To sum it up, I lost money but ebay paypal and the seller came out winners. Sounds like a big scam, looks like a scam! Must be a scam!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I also had a problem with a seller on Ebay. I bought a Wii early this year, and they charged me tax (I live in WA) and sent the product from Oregon. They claim that they had every right to charge me tax since they have a "warehouse" in WA, but would not refund the $$ even though they sent it from another state. I contacted Ebay with the complaint, and heard nothing. I can often buy the same product for the same price, or cheaper, at a store in my city. I can also return it if needed--and speak to a manager if there is an issue.
I will not buy from Ebay again!
illegitimate banning
Ebay is a nightmare to sellers. There is NO way to get a legitimate complaint filed. You will have other seller constantly harassing you with [censored] emails and false reports trying to get rid of their competition.
Forget getting help when you have a problem just plan to eat your expenses and pay eBay for the torture of having experienced the trouble because the fees will be charged to you regardless of your innocence.
I won't bored you with the deatils but warn you to forget that online business you think you can make on evil-bay. Ebay has been the worst online experience of my life.
there are a hundred hustles going on at once, all targeting sellers.

This all boils down to one word- jealousy.
Most of this is spurred by one woman, Jerri Pope, known as Purseservere @ Bonanzl- she can't get along. She was removed from these forums when she couldn't play well with others and now she's vindictive. She lies about her location, the condition of her bags, her "Italian" leather worker, Tony, on and on. She was confronted about this stuff and other unethical practices on TPF and EBay. ALL these pages are her response. This is how big her jealousy gets.
There are other people who write some of this sometimes but she was and is the driving force. and it's pointless to talk with her. she can't have conversations. Read through these pages and it's pretty clear. She'll end up booted off of effenhaute next.
So in the end we say move on, nothing to see here...

Ebay doesn't make it easy. The only advise I can give is to forget emailing them. You need to get a person on the phone and if they don't solve your problem, ask for their supervisor. I had to do this. It took 3 days of persistent calling but I finally got the problem solved!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT EBAY!
Failed to refund money
Do not shop at this jeweler! The customer service is horrible. I want to return the 4 stone diamond ring because the ring is very bad and looks milky, so I sent the ring (with no scratch or damage) along with the receipt. however, the salesperson said that he cannot do the refund because the ring they received was damaged. It needs manager permission to allow for return. what a lame! I never heard about this kind of excuse. He hints me that he can do the exchange only, but no refund. (I guess he wants to get the commission if i buy the higher value jewelery. For refund, he cannot make any commission from me.)
I am mad since I thought I am protected by Paypal, but now is 60 days later and I cannot file a claim. Do not buy jewelry on Ebay!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I am a frequent customer at bestprices_ms and they have been nothing but honest and fair with their description and promises.
In a few cases i needed to return an item as it was not what i was looking for and got refunded the very same day.
I actually contacted the manager about your comments, and he told me that he was wiling to offer an exchange, even though more then 60 days had passed, which is well beyond the 14 day return policy.
The ring had been worn for 6 weeks and damaged by the customer, (gold dented).
Most companies i have worked with would not even offer an exchange.
So please give all the fact before slandering an honest seller.
unpleasant experience
I recently tried to list items on Ebay. To my absolute horror I discovered that Ebay have decided sellers are now not allowed to charge for postage in certain categories. I do not sell many items on ebay, but from time to time I have a number of things I either want to get rid of or, like many people have it as a small occasional sideline. How is anybody supposed to carry on selling if you can't charge for postage? Many times, postage can cost anything up to £5 in the UK, and even more for international, and we're supposed to just give them away!
This policy has recently been introduced. It goes alongside all the other policies recently introduced, i.e. increasing Final Value Fees to 10% per item, increasing listing fees for Buy It Now to 40p an item, not allowing sellers to leave negative feedback for buyers who don't pay, and many other little things to alienate and persecute sellers.
Ebay used to be a fun site to buy and sell on, but it is no longer. They have now become too big and arrogant and have completely ruined the site. I will shortly be stopping trading on Ebay altogether and helping to promote alternative sites. Hopefully some competition will come along and replace Ebay altogether one day. They don't deserve to continue trading if they are going to continue in this disgraceful manner.

suspended account
ebay shut off my account for 30 days, claiming, that "LIAR" is a profanity word.
A buyer from ebay bought an item from me, she was playing games from the beginning. She gave me the wrong address to ship item to. I called her a liar, ebay turns around and suspended my account. Before i sent a message to her, I reported her to ebay 5 times, and Ebay did nto do anything. Now after i contacted BBB, they closed down my account claiming im a threat and a risk to EBAY.
What a laugh! Wait till I take them to court.

Was suspended for unjust reasons. Tried endless months and wasted much of my time to appeal with no success. eBay nearly caused me to be behind 5 months in bills because of them.
Was desperate and decided to go the stealth route that many suggested. Bit of a learning curve but the guide by Auction Essistance helped a bit to the point that I am selling again. Although I can only sell 5 items a month, opening multiple accounts is my only ticket in moving more inventory.
eBay has suspended many of my employee's accounts for no apparent reason. We all had great feedback with no complaints or disputes for the past 2 years, yet that wasn't enough for them to not suspend us.
Now we have been desperately trying to get all of our employees back on with the help of Auction Essistance.
eBay banned my account indefinite. No chance of appeal after many emails sent to them. After that, they decided to simply ignore my requests. Unbelievable. I have kids to support and having them shut down my account makes it even more difficult.
I had to enlist Auction Essistance to create me a new account so I can sell again. The selling limits suck, but it is better than nothing.
I'm new on e-bay and I listed two of my products and after summit my credit card and my information
they suspend my account
like I said I'm new on this and I'm looking to contact one representative of e-bay but I can find any numbers
always one page send me to another and another
how can I get HELP on this?
yep i got suspened for 1 freakn year but i got another account under new name password and email just stayn low and selling need help let me know
fictitious selling on ebay
Dear E bay,
If you check in branded watches, you will find lots of Omega, Carrera watches etc. offered on auctions which I'm sure are just replicas. I almost bid Rs.21000.00 for such a watch on 31-10-09. I was lucky; I was outbid by another (maybe fictitious) member. I wrote 'fictitious' because after some time I rcd. a message from your side that I'd been given a second chance on my bid of Rs.19000.00. Of course I didn't fool myself again, because after searching the site, I found out that similar watches had been sold for less than Rs.3000.00. I was shocked but at the same time relaxed.
You have made many columns about product descriptions like item condition – new or used etc., similarly I’d suggest you to make one more column about the authenticity of the product – whether it is original or replica. This way many people would be saved from being looted. Doing this might affect your profit; otherwise you would have taken care of it long back.
I’m regular buyer at E bay since 2003. But this time I sincerely doubt your marketing intentions. You write so much about terms & conditions / legal binding of buyers on bidding etc, how come you allow such fictitious sale from your side. After all it is your name which people trust & you just allow sellers to fool people & make extra bucks for yourself. It really is a ‘conspiracy’.
I sincerely advise you to do something about it.
Sincerely,
Vivek Mahajan
ebay buyers never pay now
I have been selling and buying on Ebay for about 9 years now. As you probably know Ebay & PayPay are almost one and the same, and both have changed their policies to where the buyers can really screw over the sellers. You cannot give any type of negative feedback to BUYERS on Ebay, the only thing you can do is check the GREEN DOT and leave commits. I...
Read full review of eBay and 2 commentsups drivers involved in scams
EBAY/UPS coordinated scam. I lost $17, 000 and my credit rating damaged over this fraud. Thief either purchases from inside Ebay employee a dormant member ID. The member usually has not bought or sold for a year, has 100% Positive feedback and is not monitoring their account, or maybe are dead. That is why I believe a Ebay emplyee is involved. The Thief contacts you (the seller) and is interested in your gold watch. You see 194-Positive Feedbacks and consider it is real. The theif claims they no longer use PayPal and suggest COD. You are not stupid enough to mail a $17, 000 item COD, unless the funds are 100%protected. You contact UPS and are convinced they are able to Guarantee that their driver will only accept US Postal Money Orders if you ask. You understand USPMO are like cash so agree to ship the watch. The buyer normally offers a price close to your asking price and mine said he would add $250 shipping credit. UPS charged me $329.90, all but $91 going for insurance, explaining the insurance protected me. The UPS clerk Guarantees me the driver insructions will exclude Cashier's Checks and Money Orders, COD=$16, 750 GUARANTEED. I ship the watch, being told the most I can lose is shipping if the buyer cannot produce the US Postal Money Orders. Tracking indicates the watch has been received and paid for so the theif calls me, tells me the watch is great and that he has left me a positive feedback; could I leave him one?Knowing my funds are secure I leave a feedback and start getting calls from Ebay members, indicating he wants to purchase their watch. I am confused, but believed my funds are secure. 13-days later I receive a very poorly constructed fake Cashier's Check, and are notified several other members lost their gold watches to the same guy, same address, same style check. The UPS driver accepted horribly poor checks from a man standing in front of a residence (not his) in a snow storm, for $56, 000. I strongly contend the driver was involved in the scam. UPS will pay nothing, saying the US Postal Money Order "thing" cannot be proved by me, and the Cashier's check, with no Water-marks, Black-line, State of Origin or even Check Number, passed their Facial Validity. Ebay can no longer be trusted and UPS is running Driver Scams. So I pay thousands to a attorney, Ebay is moot and UPS is now working with high-end fraud schemes.

scam and cheating
Hi my name is Latisha Vaisa and I live in Farmington New Mexico with my son and Fiance. Recently we found a boat from a seller in California, so we thought. For a week or so we exchanged e-mails. During this time the seller let us know that she was getting rid of her boat due to losing her husband in iraq. She explained that she was selling her boat through eBay so that the both of us would be protected. In the e-mails it show that the money will be sent to an eBay agent in San Jose California where it will be put in an escrow account. From there the eBay agent will keep it until the buyer inspects the item and decides to keep it. During this time I got several e-mails from an eBay site that all looked like we were being protected by ebays protection program. Come to find out it was a fake page and someone is out there with 5900.00 dollars of ours. I contacted money gram and they said that the money had been picked up in Broklyn New York. They said they were unable to tell us the exact location of the pick up due to there privacy policy. What we don't understand is how on all these e-mails that were sent to us by ebay, link to the real eBay site. We have contacted eBay and they have stated that they are not responsable. Then who is? We have contacted the FBI in Albuquerque and are going to do whatever it takes to getting our money back. We have saved all our e-mails/money gram receipts that we exchanged with the seller and eBay so we are taking this very serious. I hope you guys can do whatever it takes to helping us catch these people and getting our money back. I hear about scams like this every day, but I never thought it would happen to my family.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I was new to ebay. I opened a store. I was suspened one time for fake or copied items. I tried to provide proff that my items were not fakes and purchased at authorized product name brand stores. I offered receipts and even offered to ship them the items for an in person inspection. All i got was auto emails. Then after being suspended for a week, i went back on and relisted some items.In hours I was suspened, this time for 1 year! I called and this time got someone, that was nasty and treated me so poorly, he made me cry! I wrote several emails, once again offering the receipt and store item tags. I got an answer this time, an email signed by the same nasty man threathening me with purjury! I have filed complaints with consumer affairs and meeting with my own attorney. I undertsand they have policies. I have not violated them. I have rights too, and was treated like a criminal. Additionally, I had 80 items listed for sale. They removed them all and still dedcuted the listin fees ( in full) from my bank account!
Ebay uses false accusations against sellers to lower ratings and expenses to increase revenue. The policy compliance department makes vague and false accusations concerning trademark violations and follows up with manipulation of the sellers feedback. My feedback ratings were manipulated overnight after I complained about the poor compliance rating I received. The targeted seller has no recourse for review and must submit to these Nazi sob's. The items I was accused of selling in violation of trademark policy were Gillette Fusion Razors purchased at Target stores. I have continued to sell the identical Razors for several weeks after this alleged policy violation without incident. Ebay was wrong but they won't admit the error. I sold my stock in this dead horse. I would advise everyone to do the same!
Hi my name is Latisha Vaisa and I live in Farmington New Mexico with my son and Fiance. Recently we found a boat from a seller in California, so we thought. For a week or so we exchanged e-mails. During this time the seller let us know that she was getting rid of her boat due to losing her husband in iraq. She explained that she was selling her boat through eBay so that the both of us would be protected. In the e-mails it show that the money will be sent to an eBay agent in San Jose California where it will be put in an escrow account. From there the eBay agent will keep it until the buyer inspects the item and decides to keep it. During this time I got several e-mails from an eBay site that all looked like we were being protected by ebays protection program. Come to find out it was a fake page and someone is out there with 5900.00 dollars of ours. I contacted money gram and they said that the money had been picked up in Broklyn New York. They said they were unable to tell us the exact location of the pick up due to there privacy policy. What we don't understand is how on all these e-mails that were sent to us by ebay, link to the real eBay site. We have contacted eBay and they have stated that they are not responsable. Then who is? We have contacted the FBI in Albuquerque and are going to do whatever it takes to getting our money back. We have saved all our e-mails/money gram receipts that we exchanged with the seller and eBay so we are taking this very serious. I hope you guys can do whatever it takes to helping us catch these people and getting our money back. I hear about scams like this every day, but I never thought it would happent to my family.
I recently listed a pair of 700w radiators on ebay for auction on the 5th of January 09. On the day that the auction was due to end ebay decided to end my listing and cancel the bids on it as it was apparently "breaching ebay policy" as in the title it had the words "As New" I put that the radiator was "As New" because it had been used however the condition was "As New". I didnt decide to list these things because im rolling in money! It has really annoyed me that Ebay decided to end the listing when there was quite alot of interest in the item, if they decided to end it within the first couple of days I wouldnt of minded as much as there were no bids.
Another thing that is also VERY annoying is that they ended it and then told me that it was eligible for relisting, which means that i will have to pay another listing fee and the chances are that the people who are interested in it will not bid again as they do not trust me as a seller!
I beleive that this is just another way to gain money out of its customers, as the reasons for cancelling listing for keyword spamming were "use of inapropriate keywords it the title for gaining attention" and the use of "brand names" has my listing title "as New" got anything to do with these policies? I think not!
Something similar happened to me. I have been an ebay member for quit awhile and my incident was buying a shirt from hong kong...well then I got a regular email from ebay telling me my item was ending, and at the bottom it states that if you dont get this email in your my messages on ebay, then its a fraud. or ya know something to that effect. so now I dont go by anything unless it is in my inbox...of course besides me listings ending and stuff because they dont send you those to your ebay inbox.
Ebay imitation is the perfect scam because real people buy and sell and you would never think twice.
It is in the policy if you have read them on ebay all the things you are not allowed to say. example: if I sell a juicy couture purse that is not real I can't sell a counterfit item, also even if you were allowed to sell a counterfeit item- you cannot say "same as juicy couture" or something like that.
Also it isnt like they ended your item at the last minute on purpose, there are TONS of other ebay members and most do have listings to be removed, but with so many, its gonna take time. I have listed fake chanel earrings before trying to get away with it, and I never said anything about knock-off and they removed it with in 2 hours because they knew they weren't real. But yes it does say in the policy all these things including "as new or like new"
That is why you read the "terms and conditions" before clicking the box.
you should have opened a dispute with your bank account an had them chargeback those fees. If eBay suspended you unfairly, they can wait to get their payment.
nightmare from hell.
Ebay MAstercard / GE Money Bank :
I applied for this "credit card" only for convenience for ebay transactions, since they make it look so inviting and wonderful.
Wow, what an utter rip-off. They slam you with all kinds of fees, late charges, over limit, etc etc etc etc. Each month is a different "surprise". And I do have other credit cards like Amex. This will certainly give you high blood pressure for sure. I wrote them a $1, 700 check to pay off in full and close the account, but they never ever go away. Ever! Six months later I'm still getting a bill for $1.50 . Stay far away and use a trusted bank or you'll be stuck with this perpetual nightmare from hell for the rest of your life.
I Received an e-bay Mastercard which I never applied for 1st the Tel # from Synchony Bank on rate statement was not in service. The P.O box listed was not for the bank. 2nd the card was sent to my nieces address in Rockland County I live in Yonkers, Total Scam.
I applied for this card for convenience It was an eBay seller I thought it was appropriate for transactions I bought with it and use it for my shipments after a while I noticed that transactions do not add up always greater than the real number I could not do anything for my time and the complicated system they use to tracing the transactions whatever to get out of my doubt my balance was five hundred an thirty five I made a payment for hundred an thirty five account remained in four hundred after a while I return to this account to find my account had given birth nine dollar fiftyseven cents on their favor I do not trusted this company or bank whatever also they have PayPal that is the true star in this comprehensive they are the bank owners of this card and ebay partners the two team up to steal if you have the need for this card stay away remember these companies the more they have the more they want.
bad product/no product
We ordered three books from Half.com. One shipped with 18 pages torn out of it, one never shipped and one was not what was ordered. We were charged for all three books. Half.com did not respond to our complaints and neither did the shippers. We cancelled our credit card and the charges were never paid to Half.com. Only then did they respond to our complaints saying we never should have cancelled our credit card payment. They claim we should have used their complaint process. We did and it is BROKEN. Do NOT purchase from Half.com. They suck! And you will not get your books in time for class and you will never get a refund. They figure that since you did not pay a whole lot of money for the books you'll not fight for your money back. They make a ton of money doing this.
I agree. Half.com only rips everybody off and never pays for the wrong it does. Someone should put an end to this terrible organization. They ripped me off every time I've used them.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I was using half.com without any issues for about 4 months. In August I switched banks, and since the only way half.com will pay you is through direct deposit, I missed a deposit to my account. Their site says they will automatically try to deposit any missed payments next cycle, but that never happened. I've written to customer service 10 times, and no one has even acknowledged that they've seen my letters. They won't give me the money they owe me, and their customer service is nonexistent. RIP OFF.
They have been holding 5, 400 dollars of mine for over 7 months. I have sent all necessary information to them and still no money. they even said they will release a check to me and still no check. I don't know what else to do. I even had proof of all my sales I sent them. (shown if pic below). After many emails over 30 no help. I have been dropped from most of my clases due to lack of payments, and evected out of apartment. I am just a college student and they took a lot from me .
I want to find a lawyer thank can help me. email jk5@uakron.edu
I AGREE 100%! Half.com is a RIP-OFF, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE!
scam
What is up with HALF? Who appointed them God over book sells? I have been blocked for no reason at all! I have kept up with all their requirements. I have 99% feedback. I ship out the same or next day and am prompt to respond to all emails. And when my sales are in the 1, 0000's they put you on holiday and make yo jump through all their AUTOMATED response, can't talk to a person, and then weeks later they respond and say you are suspended. THey don't have to give a reason they keep your money for 90 days and make interest on it that they don't pay you back, when you go to get your money they make you go through more hoops to claim the money. Isn't there anyway to sue their buts off! I am not about sueing people, I just want to get my money that is mine! HELP! Is there a lawyer who would be willing to take on the so called almighty of books sales? Just found out about one that will be coming soon and you can bet that I will be going there. Half needs to be taken down a few links so that they think of the real honest person who is trying to make a living instead of padding their stockmarket pocket books especially in this economy now. What can our government do? They probably are in half's back pocket though. Any one else fed up? Maybe we should all unite and get a lawyer willing to take on half. Any ideas? Thanks

HALF.COM IS A SCAM!
Bobtheman,
ARE YOU NUTS! I just found out I was suspended. 99+% rating. Always follow the rules and they will not tell me why I have been suspended. On the 15th they owed me over $30k now they owe me over $40k and I was told I have to wait 90 days to get my money.
The free market has to do with buying and selling and fair practice. There is nothing fair about the practices of Half.com. The fact that nobody will take phone calls and nobody can tell you what is the matter with your account is pure Fraud. It's as if Half.com is having a cash flow problem and we are the ones to suffer. If you sell $10 worth, no problem. You sell large dollars and you can expect to get stuck and receive no money.
If there was a way to sue them, I would. In no other business is this allowed. What a complete scam.
What can the government do? Jesus Christ. Why the hell should government do a god damn thing? Don't people know how to deal with things themselves anymore? Must the government save everyone from themselves?
Just do what they ask and get your money. If you don't like selling on Half.com, sell on Amazon. That's what a free market system is about.

I am going through the same thing. I have sold eight items: two to nonpaying new members, one I refunded the money when the supplier was out of stock (from the time I received supplier's email and buyer's refund was less than three hours), and five completed sales. One buyer's item that was sent registered was not picked up, so I emailed the buyer to notify him. He responded that he was in the hospital. I called his local post office to request the item to be held and not returned to sender. In total I have a positive 16 feedbacks. My account was suspended. A total of 55 listings were canceled. Lolla from vetting said they would be happy to review my records and adjust selling limits. She also requested documentation of purchase of listed items. I faxed my driver's license, passport, utility statements and said I drop ship and only purchase after a sale. Out of the blue, I received back a generic statement from Bateman on counterfeits and replicas. I said I do not have any replicas or counterfeits and requested them identify which items are counterfeits or replicas so I do not list them again. I received back another generic email on counterfeits and replicas. I was asked what I plan to sell and where the items would be purchased. I again asked for specific items and said I would list every thing I had before except those objected to by eBay. I received an email from Ben B stating eBay prohibits them giving specific information and that any further emails I send in will probably not be answered. I still do not know if the suspension is temporary or permanent since I still can buy or what items they consider replicas or counterfeits. If there is deemed to be a cause of action, I would join a class action suit.
