eBay

I purchased a cell phone for the "Buy It Now" price, paid and received a tracking number for my purchase. Then the seller decided the price was not high enough. Ebay removed the listing per the sellers request!?!?

Ebay stated the item was removed because it did not meet their guidelines. The seller sent me an e-mail stating the item was canceled because it was listed for the wrong price. The seller re-listed the item with the exact same info except for a much higher price.

Did a chat with Ebay and they suggested I purchase the re-listed item for the much higher price. So much for sales being a binding contract between buyer and seller. Definitely seems like a scam to me. I guess a seller can list an item, sell it for asking price, then decide he should get more money for it, and cancel the transaction. I am sure Ebay would not let me do that. So much for buyers protection.

I can not leave negative feedback for the seller or send a complaint to Ebay via customer service website since the item number is no longer valid.

Purchased an LG VX 9900 listed as brand new in box and used the buy it now option paid 115.00 for phone after shipping and all.
after 80 days phone would no longer charge. tried 2 times to contact seller gbx2006 never got a returned email. took the phone to a local cell phone repair center today and find out that the phone was in fact a refurbish model not only that the guy who fixed it said it should have never passed a final inspection to be sold as a working phone.. I opted to buy this one due to it being listed as new. could have purchased one listed as a refurbish model for half the price. I wanted a new one. Do not buy from gbx2006 on e-bay. below I pasted the original ad from Ebay.

Hi There,

I just recently got scammed out of $260.00 from a company that was supposed to help people sell products on Ebay. The Agency is indeed a scam and I highly recommend that if you receive emails from close friends, stating that they've been involved with this company and that they've had success you should try it. Please don't go there.

That exactly what was done to me. I received an email from a close friend stating the following:-

> hey check out my friends blog i'm pretty sure you are going to like this.. http://qh4n.makegooglemoney.com .. its way better than robert allen kit because they have a free trial that you only pay for shipping and handling, so you can see if you like it or not without risk.. Anyways read my friend Tim's blog you are going to like it.. I wanna share this with everyone because making money online is so easy and so far this method is one of the best ones i've tested so far..

Can't believe that I got scammed, I have sent the Federal Trade Commission a complaint so I hope that I can get all or part of my money back.

I recently sold an 18K Gold and Stainless Rolex GMT watch to a guy, who I thought was in Branson Missouri, on e-bay. I found out later that he was in California and that it was actually shipped to another e-bayer in Branson, Missouri. After it was paid I shipped it the next day. Upon it arriving in Branson, Missouri I received an e-mail stating that it wasn't what the client wanted, that the box was fake and so was the watch band and they wanted to return it.I knew better than that, because before shipping the item I had it serviced at an authorized Rolex dealer, I even had the band polished. These guys along with a third accomplice, who is their watch maker, pulled a scam on me that has me convinced to never trust e-bay again. I was power seller with eleven years of doing business on e-bay, 100% feed back( Which by the way, means nothing to e-bay) until I was scammed by these guys.The way they work the scam is the primary guy is in Branson, Missouri, he sets upwhat appears to be a legitimate business selling watches. He hires a watchmaker (who happens to have a criminal past) and then hires individuals to buy watches for him on e-bay. The watches are sent to an address in Branson, Missouri that is nothing more than a UPS drop off store. Once there the crooks decide which watches they will try to get the buyers to refund some or all of the money and which ones they will legitemately pay for.( They do buy some to make it appear that they are legitimate to e-bay)For every watch they do buy, they steal a couple in between, it's like getting three for the price of one. In my case they wanted me to refund them $1500.00 of the $3500.00 to cover the cost for a new watch band. I told them no and agreed to refund their money providing the watch was returned to me in the same condition as it was when I shipped it. Upon inspecting the watch on it's arrival to me I discovered that it felt lighter than it was before I sent it out. i took it to the authorized Rolex dealer and they thought something was fishy. They recommended that I send it to Rolex USA in new york and that was when it was discovered that they had swapped the band. The band they put on it had Roles Stainless Steel links but the heavy 18K gold links were switched with non-Rolex 14K links. I refused to refund the money and the buyer complained to e-bay. Without my permission e-bay refunded this crook his money under the new buyer protection policy.I appealed this decision and cited that this buyer had other victims and presented proof, Bottom line, e-bay sided with the buyer and told me my loss was the cost of doing business.I had paperwork from the jeweler who I originally bought the watch from and service records from two authorized Rolex dealers. It didn't matter. SELLERS BEWARE! E-BAY BUYER PROTECTION, MEANS JUST THAT, BUYER PROTECTION, THERE IS NO SELLER PROTECTION!

this guy keeps claiming that he's a legit seller. i've spent over a thousand bux on his oils and a djinn ring. i've done what he told me to do. result? no manifestation, no changes in my life, and he said he can't give me my money back. he forced me to close the dispute saying that his account is frozen and that he can't sell his stuffs. so i did, and i can't claim my money back. i was so dumb not to know after closing a dispute, i can't reopen it.. now i'm stuck with his stuffs. after buying them and using them, i keep having bad lucks.

he said he's separating himself from other fraud sellers... wrong.. he just talks wisely and he is 1 of those fraudulent sellers. 1 of the buyer in another thread said the same thing and he's a scam. this buyer was right. i was immediately blocked after leaving bad comments in his guest book. and he ONLY ACCEPTS GOOD FEEDBACK IN HIS GUEST BOOKS.

if you notice, the people who leave good comments are buyers for other magic sellers.. and they buy not only 1 but multiple djinns from this seller.. but its over 2 years.. and u have to really take ur time and read his guest books and his feedbacks.. they're from THE SAME PEOPLE over and over again.. they're about how good looking his item looks like.. not about how it's working.

if its about how its working well, try to scroll more to the back page, they're the same people that tells you his items work..

trust me! i am a buyer and i try all the sellers in ebay.. 99% of them are fake.. but i get scammed the most by this guy.

I purchased an alledged original piece of fine art by a famous dead artist from one of ebay's Top Seller's. I reviewed this seller's feedback as this was a large sale $5000 in Dec. 2009. The top seller had over 800 positive feedbacks and I was sent an appraisal, COA, and registration of the piece with the National Fine Art Registry.
I was told via the appraisal this piece was an origninal, but low and behold a trip to NYC prooved very informational. I actual saw the original hanging in the MET. Upon returning, I immediately wrote coinsandconsigment and they responded that what I purchased was in the style and not refund my money. I am going to contact the FBI and other legal authorities as I have read on th internet by Dr. Ledor who is an expert in the field of Fraud for this artist that ebay has had many pieces sold as real that are fakes. EBAY has been no help whatsoever. Besides trying to locate an address to write them, I finally was told that they take this seriously. Oh REALLY? If they took this seriously they wouldn"t allow a top seller get away with ripping off the public. I now have asked for the phone number and address of this seller and ebay has not responded so I will be taking stronger action to obtain the true identity of this scam artist. The feedback by coinsandconsignment are private now, what does that mean? Without the assistance of ebay I may not be able to locate this person as it seems thier physical location has moved.
I am really angry that ebay does not monitor Top Sellers who sell to the public. If we cannot trust them, then how are we to trust a small independent seller. I have been doing business on ebay since the early 90's and have never had the problems that I have had as much as recently. I had another instance of purchase and never received the item and followed ebay's policy of contacting the seller who NEVER returned my email. I gave it a month and followed ebay's protocal. Now, when I ask ebay for assistance, they say it is past the time frame and they haven't offered to contact the seller or assist me in any form except to give me some email addresses to file the complaint. Great, this will get chocked up to another live and learn lesson that ebay is NOT PROTECTING THE PUBLIC from unscrupulous sellers. CAVEAT EMPTOR using ebay. At your own risk, they will not help you.

Here is my correspondance to ebay.
Thank you for contacting eBay in regard to item # [protected] . I
understand how frustrating this situation may have been for you.

After reviewing the issue, I see you paid for this item more than 45
days ago. Unfortunately, to be eligible for our Buyer Protection you
need to have completed a purchase of an eligible item on eBay and have
submitted a claim within 45 days from the date of payment. Based upon
the timeframe, we are not able to open a claim for you for this
particular transaction. I hope you can understand that our current
policies do not allow us to hold sellers accountable outside of this
timeframe.

I do understand how frustrating this situation has probably been for you
so I would like to provide you with a few things you can do to resolve
this outside of eBay.

First, I suggest you contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
The IC3 is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
National White Collar Crime Center. They will review complaints and
refer you to the appropriate local, state, or federal agency. This is
recommended for items over $100.00. To file a claim from the IC3
website:

http://www.ic3.gov/

If your item is more than $200 contact law enforcement. To find a law
enforcement officer, go to www.usacops.com. If a detective is assigned
to the case, they can also contact us directly and we'll help with the
investigation. The detective will need to go to the following page:

http://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/law_enforcement.html

Lastly, if you used a credit card to fund your transaction, I recommend
you contact their customer service department and ask them about
protections they may have (most credit cards offer buyer protection).

Thomas, I realize this wasn't the answer you were looking for, but I
hope I've been able to explain things clearly and I thank you in advance
for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Myra B.

Message: I know it is past 30 days, but the SELLER has never responded
to my emails I have sent and I wanted to give them time to respond
before I wrote ebay. To my knowledge, I have never received this item.
I have looked through all my items thinking mpurchased items thinking maybe
someone else in my home may have accepted from USPS and did not tell
me, but I have been unable to locate and would like seller to refund my
Pay Pal account. Thank youis my correspondance and ebay's response:

I am dispointed in the ebay discussion boards on the australian site. I feel it very helpful or kind. Everytime you write in genuinly asking a question you are knocked to the ground and made to feel stupid for asking.
We all need to start somewhere, and yes, we all make mistakes hence the questions. But then according to the forum memebers you should already know the answer to your own question.
They are a bunch of power sellers who think they own the forums...there is no room for friendly or respectful responses. Sad as Im trying to build a business up, ive had to go to another site that is so much more helpful and offer kind resolutions and suggestions in a respectful and dignified way.

I am a longtime lurker and sometimes poster on the Ebay Shoes, Purses and Accessories Discussion Board. I am also a member of The Purse Forum, Effen Haute, KnowKnockOffs Forum and several others based in the US and abroad. My participation in these groups is for my entertainment only.

This is in response to all of the complaints reference the behavior of some of the posters on the Ebay board. It is true that some sellers/posters are treated rather rudely by some members of the group. It is also true that some posters who frequent the board are only trying to help others with their problems. It is not fair for one to paint all posters who have been copied and pasted in the other complaints about the Ebay purse board as members of a “group” who harass and bully other posters. I have seen sellers attacked on the board by over enthusiastic members but often it is the seller/poster that provoked the attack. My opinion is if a poster doesn’t like an answer they have received, then just do not come back to the board. If their listings are removed, they do have recourse they can pursue with Ebay or the Vero members. My advice to other members of the Ebay purse board is to send your reports of fake purse listings to the Vero members.

Authentication Requests: I personally believe that unless it is an obvious fake for example the intertwined LV’s on fake Louis Vuitton bags, it is impossible to tell from pictures if a purse is authentic or not. Posters can give their opinions but it is ultimately up to the buyers/sellers to know if their purse is real or not. Depending upon the poster replying, they may or may not have your best interest in mind.

I have seen some reference to a list of preferred sellers being passed around by the Ebay purse board members. The only lists I have seen or have knowledge of are my own “Favorite Sellers” . None on my list are regular posters that I am aware of but I am aware that most use a board posting ID. If anyone wants a copy of my “Favorite Sellers” list, they are more than welcome to it. I do not know any of them personally as I have only had business dealings with them. I have no interest in their financial gain or loss. These are sellers who I have had successful transactions with and who I continue to look at what they are offering to see if anything fits into my collection. I do not consider someone who I have dealt with online as a “friend”. As a member of the Mafia said in the movies “Nothing personal, strictly business”.

To the people who are complaining here: I remember the incidents you speak of and I remember at the time thinking how wrong it was. If you have a problem with a specific person, then that is between you and them. Don’t include others who don’t have a clue as to what has been done in the past. Some people are followers and others are leaders who lead by example. Chose to be a leader who does right, calling people names, making racist/homophobe comments is not right in any way.
For the record, I never participated in any of these confrontations as I have seen it as a waste of time and energy. I am paid in my chosen profession to be aggressive with others when necessary; I chose to keep my online persona as neutral as possible. There are right and wrong aspects to this complaint and I hope others will keep an open mind as well.

I had bought a Cell Phone Through Ebay in the month of May.I paid the money in advance from my Bank accout by Cheque. I waited for a long time but the vendore did not send the phone. Then i asked Ebay for a claim and they gave me all the details of how to make the claim with ebay. Some Mr Henry was assigned the case with the claim referance number as I sent across all the details and confirmed the receipt of the details.

For a long time i did not receive any reply from them then i wrote back to them in the month of november asking for a reply and they told me that i would not get my money back. Till date i have not received my money or the product that i bought.

my balance due was $38.38 and now i woke up with $67.57
how? its past due.
why?
they closed all options of payment when it's still $38.38. i cant pay with paypal, credit card, nothing. now that they charge me more, suddenly credit card payment is accepted. how i know? i tried paying and clicking for 2 hours looking for a way to pay and nothing shows up.
u know what? ebay may have many users and u think its safe?
there are a lot of scammers in there and i've been scammed for a lot of money. since i joined ebay, i use it to buy cheaper stuffs as well as to start my small business.

result?
i'm scammed for more than 1000 bux with all the fraudulent sellers and the ebay itself. the charges are insane. promotional? erm.. nothing like that happened. no promotions. its 0 when u list, when u sold ur item, that 75 cents will add up to ur final value fees.. if u sell an item for like $60 bux, ur final value fee is like $20-30 erm.. which u only sell for 30 at the end - ur postal fees god knows how much u end up for..

and buyers can lie freely. they can say ohh i receive items that are not as described. and they will win. and they will be like.. oh u have to refund this buyer.. i had a case when she return the item, broke my item, and i have to refund her money for breaking my item..

i'm done with the ###.. no more..

MY RESPONSE TO THE SELLER AFTER THE BAD ITEM ARRIVED A MONTH LATER IS BELOW;

SIR, I AM EXTREMELY DIS-SATISIFIED AND I FIND YOUR EBAY PRODUCT AUCTION TO BE FRAUDULENT AND ALL BECAUSE OF THE PRINTED SIZE OF THE T-SHIRTS ART POSTED IN YOUR PICTURE TO BE A TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION OF YOUR OFFERED PRODUCT AND YOUR RETURN POLICY TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO BE PART OF THE SCAM AS IT TOOK A MONTH TO BE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL AND ONLY 7 DAYS TO RETURN?

THIS IS YOUR OPPERTUNITY TO RESPOND!

Incident
Purchased a GM/Chevrolet QCGM-3 BlueTooth Handsfree Wire Harness, and ever since I install it, speaker channels would cut out. I have investigated, and troubleshooted and found numerous loose connectors, tightened them and still a problem.

Damage Resulting
Oeintegration will not replace the faulty harness, and insulted me stating that i was to lazy to check and tighten the connectors. Operating without a bluetooth system

I have been a seller on ebay for years, but over the last year, had to shut down my company. I got behind in pay my seller fees, so my ebay account went into collection with ic systems. I received a message from ebay on ebay.com that my balance was $526.96 and to call ic systems to resolve the matter. When I contacted ic systems (Gena), they said the balanve was $513.87 and if I paid that and the $12 credit card fee, my account balance would be cleared and my account re-instated. I waited 3-4 days as I was directed. The account was never re-instated. When I contacted ebay, they said there was still an outstanding balance. Regardless of he fact that ic systems said the balance would be paid in full, and my account re-instated, ebay has refused to take re-instate my account, claiming there is still an open balance.

To anyone dealing with ic systems with regard to ebay or any other account, don't pay unless you have the settlement of the account in writing.

Thank you,

A recent ebay experience taught me that ebay has policies that allow - and probably encourage - buyers to scam sellers.

I posted a pair of Bose headphones that were mine, were used only be me, were photographed for ebay by me, were posted on ebay by me. The buyer of these headphones demanded a refund after complaining that the ear cushion fell off and that the noise reduction sealant was broken. Bose doesn't make headphones with cushions that just fall off. I know those headphones and have pictures of the headphones with the stitching around the cushions showing that the cushions were intact. The buyer had a ruined pair, bought mine, replaced his ruined pair, kept mine, and got a refund. And, I end up with a broken pair of headphones.

I didn't agree to a refund because I knew those headphones and knew it was a scam, but the buyer escalated the issue, and Paypal (ie, ebay) refunded him his money and I get a broken headset with an explanation from Paypal that it is part of doing business.

I don't believe that it is fair that Paypal refunds buyers without reviewing, well, conducting a more stringent review, of the facts and evidence. Buyers ALWAYS get a refund! Regardless of whether or not you indicate such in your posting as required!

These complaints have happened in 2009 and 2010. Around July of 2009 I had 5 good feedback but now that is all gone because of Ebay/Pay Pal and the actor Joe Penny. First of all my Ebay account was suspended because someone from Ebay got into my account and purchased a stupid looking lap top without my permission. When I received the lap top I immediately returned it. It was nothing but a piece of junk. Then, I made a complaint to Ebay and Pay Pal because this piece of junk was charged to my bank account. Of course, As usual they did nothing to assist me. So I made a dispute to my bank then all of a sudden my account was suspended. Get this they wanted social security numbers, my bank statements, my rent receipts, where I worked, and everything but of course I wasn't stupid enough to give it to them. Then, I opened another account well Joe Penny the actor from Rip Tide and Jake and the Fatman has an auction which is JoePenny86studentbodyright. He is shill bidding which is having other people bid on his items to make the bidding go up. Well, anyways when I reported him Ebay and Pay pal would do nothing about him. Why? He is an actor and is rich, Of course! Anyways, Joe Penny has broken a number of contracts but is his account suspended. No, it's not! I left negative feedback for Joe Penny because he had my account suspended plus he cheated me out of money, pictures, c.d., and a jacket. Ebay says that it's a legal contract between two people however that is not quite true. They only make the poor people go by the rules and the rich get to do whatever they want to. I've even had to take Joe Penny to court in which he tried to counter sue me. Imagine that! Of course he didn't win and of course I didn't because he lied to the judge and the judge lapped it up as usual! So, now I am out of over $200.00 for pictures, c.d., jacket that I never received and Joe Penny, Pay Pal, and Ebay still has my money and refuses to give it back to me. I am going to take Pay Pal and Ebay to court over everything that I am out. If anyone would like to have their complaints entered into the court that I am filing for proof that Ebay and Pay Pal is doing nothing but scamming people then you can contact me at [protected]@yahoo.com.

2 months ago I sold an item but according to the buyer the package was damaged and the item lost in transit.
A dispute was raised and Ebay found that neither buyer nor seller where at fault so the buyer was refunded under the buyer protection policy and I was assured no money would be taken from me.
However 2 days later Ebay took the money directly out of my bank account using my card that was on file.
This is nothing short of theft!
They also deleted the emails and responses that had previously been in the disputes file to cover their tracks, this is nothing short of fraud!
they will not answer my emails and disconnect live chat and hang up the phone
Ebay are the worst scammers and thieves I have ever come across, they should be banned from the internet

I am a private party who makes a small but useful amount of income on eBay, selling things for other people and for myself, etc. In 2006 or 20086, I had posted an ad on Craigslist advertsiing that I would sell thins for people; Scott Hawkins was one fo the respondents. He semeed liek a good guy and in fact I sold at least three items for him, so I had begun to trust him. He agreed to my normal ways of selling and getting money to him in all previous auctions (designed so that I would not get ripped off, basically!), so when he asked to do it differently on a 4th successful auction for a $1300 Oakley sunglasses case, I felt I could trust him and sent him some ( I think about $800) of the money for it before the item had been shipped. which I never would do normally, but you can see I thought I could trust him. Well, it turns out there never was an Oakley sunglasses case, which Scott had allegedly stored somewhere at a shipping center in Denver. and I ended up not only losing all the money that i forwarded him, but also additional funds out of my personal PayPal and bank accounts as the upset buyer who did not get the case ended up filing a PayPal complaint against me, and in the end I ended up paying over $1200 out of my pocket. Plus partially trashing my eBay business at the time!

And Scott had taken off to California. I tried and tried to reach him, he emailed me (2x) and said he was sorry and would pay me back, but I never have seen a penny of the money. It was soon after this that I discovered he had a habit of ripping others off, especially in regards to fake Rolex watches, etc... and then he completely disappeared after allegedly trying to start a Smart Car business in California somewhere, which true to the trail that Scott seems to leave behind him, did not succeed.

He gained my trust, then when he saw that I trusted him, he scammed me. I have had one contact with him in the last 12 months after searching forever on the net to find him (I got lucky, I guess) ; he claims he is unable to pay me anything at all, and aid he would help me with SEO marketing for my (wedding) photography website. Well, he forwarded me one email with a few pretty much generic and useless pointers, then I never heard from him again. Here was his chance to do $1200 in business to promote me, and to finally after 3 years pay me back, and he blew it-once again, not a man of integrity. I even once told him I would be happy if he sent me $900 just to settle.
So I made a mistake, he scammed me, and I had to pay for it.

There are more than a few complaints about him on the web as well, especially in regards to not completed web-design after he had been paid for it (!)(through another company that he ended up bailing on on) and something to do with Rolex watches. Fakes or fake auctions for the real thing. Also he had been kicked off eBay previous to using my services; now I know why.

Please, if anyone knows how to get to this guy and get my money out of him, I would be delighted! He is a full time scammer, as far as I can tell, and he needs to be stopped
Thanks
