eBay is a rare visitor on ComplaintsBoard, so the pace of resolving complaints leaves much to be desired. We believe they should spend more time and effort on reviews to naturally grow customer loyalty. As for reviewers, we'd advise carefully reading existing reviews to understand what to expect. It's also helpful to go through the few complaints that eBay has already resolved to get a clear picture of their customer interaction and potential challenges in resolving your personal issue.

eBay feedback

I received a broken item from a sloppy seller. I let the seller know. I filed NEGATIVE feedback for the seller. The seller started sending me nasty, rude remarks, but on her site claimed she was not able to make me happy.
I look back today and find out on feedback she never received my negative? Wiped off her site? Ebay took the side of this nasty seller, and never sent me an email letting me know they were taking off my NEGATIVE?
I see a new buyer gave this lousy seller a negative for receiving a broken item, and wonder how long this NEGATIVE will be on their site before Ebay erases it?

SELLER WAS krispar7 - ITEM #[protected].

I WANT A REFUND OF $22.19 SINCE MY FEEDBACK WAS ERASED. WHAT DOES EBAY BOTHER?

So hope you can understand us.

As a responsible ebay seller we promise we will be responsible for any damages or losses incurred in the shipping process.
So if you cannot receive your order within the estimate shipping time, you can feel free to contact us and we will find a best solution for you.

eBay bad handling of order never received

I Ordered sunglasses from from a shop on eBay located in the US to China, they were shipped via DHL.
I input the full address in Chinese including my phone number.
For some reason DHL claimed I refused the order but they never contacted me and refused to provide proof.
Ebay didn't accept my dispute and don't allow me to respond to their messages.
I was very dissapointed not to receive the order for over a month. Not even that but eBay weren't willing to hear me out.
This is my first order from eBay and was a terrible experience. This never happened with any other ecommerce platform.

I have had a very similar situation with a sell from the US Sneakar. Fed Ex to deliver - absolutely no communication. But there was a tracking history. I was home when they said they delivered. No one came to the door or anything. I saw no truck that morning. eBay said seller had shown delivery history so case closed. Too bad so sad. No accountability whatsoever. Really disappointed in eBay nowadays.

eBay scammers and liars at customer service!

Horrible horrible customer service lying all the time. I sold an item and it was returned to me, even I don't allow returns! I also was charged a selling fee 72.50$ don't understand for what. L
Called to a customer service 3 times, talked with bunch of rude and unprofessional reps, who can't speak or properly understand english.
Finally got a customer representative ian and he promised me to reimburse selling fee.
Guess what? Was charged a selling fee right away after our conservation!
Called again, spend the whole hour of my life over the phone talking with chinese reps, who don't have a clue and they called me a liar and told that ian customer representative doesn't exist and he couldn't promised me that.
Filed a claim with my amex, hope you are disgusting scammers will all fire in a hell!
Pls, don't sell or buy there! Chinese scam!

eBay fees

Your new policy of automatically relisting 'buy it now' items as, 'list til sold' is a rip off. I just called your representatives to voice my complaint that you relisted 19 of my expired items, and charged me .35 per item. I had no intention of reliating these as ' list til sold'. To make matters worse, you then relisted another five items using my May, 'free listings'. You have some balls. Then, the representative told me that I could have avoided this situation by 'ending sale' a few minutes before the time of the listings. That's your advice? What a ducking joke. I am joining many others who are letting their items expire, and will be off of eBay. I am not here to make money for you. While I am at it, the shake-down of charging a percentage fee of the shipping charges is theft. I recently passed on a 12.35 shipping fee, which cost me 12.50. Then eBay charges me 1.24 fee for the shipping. You and you company should be [censored]ing ashamed of yourselves.

eBay refunding on fake gold rings

I think there are serious problems at ebay when regular, dispute and appeal representatives cannot follow up or follow through on their own recommendation(s) and promises to get a refund on a fake gold rings sold to me and my son in December and arriving in January 2019.

My son and I purchased at least 60 gold rings from our respective store names at the time, yesteryear09 and earldube_0. When we started receiving them in January they did not look real. So I did an acid assay for 10K and 14K on them as well as soaked them in white vinegar for 24 hours which showed them to be fake gold leaving dark spots, tarnish and loss of gold. I did not know which of the 5 sellers sent which items to us as they all looked similar sent in envelopes with Chinese writing I did not know who sent what. So in order to know who sent which ring, disputes were filed as not received, and these sellers responded that they did send the ring(s) identifying them in their response and I was able to determine who sent what. I noted what I had done to determine which seller sold me what ring and noted all of this new information under each submitted dispute. I also noted that I was not sure now if it mattered that they were filed as not received instead of not as described and got no reply. 30 days go by and I'm told that because I did not ask eBay to step in and help me all of them were closed. Then after eBay read everything in my dispute, they reopened all of the cases and told me I needed to refile all of them as not as described and not to worry because we would get our refunds. So I took pictures and uploaded them to each dispute with an explanation again of what had taken place and why I was resubmitting them not as described. It took me 3 days to get this done. Then 30 days go by and they are all closed because we did not ask eBay to step in and help. I called eBay again and told them what had occurred and we were told not to worry; not that we had to call eBay again and ask them to step in to help. We had already did that and followed eBay's instructions. They were re-opened again and 30 days later we finally started receiving our refunds on items that were paid for and not as described or never received. I asked about the other disputes that were filed and why they were not accepted. I had to talk to disputes and ultimately a person by the name of Ray, a supervisor, who said he would personally re-submit all of the claims that were closed in error and I do not have to worry about anything. I should get the remainder of our refunds within 30 days. Well, wouldn't you know that all but 7 were not reimbursed to us. I explained all of this to an escalations supervisor who said they would help me with all the remaining un-reimbursed claims; those that were not yet refunded back to us were re-opened, and again I was told not to worry Ms. Dube. In 30 days if the seller does not respond you will get your refund. 30 days goes by and I am refunded everything except 4 rings on my son's account that was changed to OUR store in January findingutreasures, and 3 rings on my account yesteryear09 that is in business with my son on findingutreasures now. With Cody's help in Escalations these 4 rings were again resubmitted for a refund this time if the seller did not respond in 5 days to return the items for a refund we would get our money back. He did not respond and Cody called me back as promised with a refund on 3 of the 4 rings. He could not tell me why the fourth ring did not refund and transferred me to Appeals where I spoke with Smairalen who diligently worked on this until she found out the root cause, Case SR1-[protected]. Now I feel like everything is finally over and we received our refunds due. Smairalen will call me to let me know when to expect a refund for this item.

But then I got 3 emails sent to my yesteryear09 account, stating that 3 cases have been closed in March with no explanation, who was awarded what, what the amount is, nothing. I was perplexed as to which 3 cases these could be. So I click on SEE RETURN DETAILS and there is ID information from 1 but none of them at all recorded with any additional information as in all of the other disputes I continually updated and re-submitted the past 4 months. Here are the 3 items:
1) JEWELRY 3.29 CARAT NATURAL GARNET 14KT SOLID WHITE GOLD RINGS SIZE 8.5# has been closed, Seller Gerald Zimmerman.
2) 3.95ct Brilliant Cut Natural Pick Diamond Solid 14 KT Yellow Gold Rings 9# has been closed, Seller Gerald Zimmerman.
3) [protected] Natural Antique 3.23Carat Yellow Sapphire Rings In 14kt Solid Yellow Gold 9# has been closed, Seller cameromaul0.

I called eBay today, April 4th and spoke first to Rhodora in Escalations, who's supervisor Dee, was too busy to speak to me and asked Rhodora to tell me to file for a refund from PayPal. In other words, don't bother me, and have someone else take care of your problem. So I called back and got Ria, asked to speak with her supervisor, Mark who would not even let me speak or explain what happened. He denied everything I was trying to explain to him. I finally had to ask if he was going to let me talk because I'm a customer who is calling to get help. He said he's not going to let me explain and only take what's written on the email as truth. I replied that I would just continue my BBB complaint and include his name and his response to me in the complaint. He said he didn't care what I did. I told Mark to go to hell and hung up. I didn't tell him what I really wanted him to know about his unprofessionalism and rude behavior.

So now I am in April 2019 still trying to get a refund on 3 rings purchased from yesteryear09 account and am no further ahead after calling for 4 months, and am just now finding out that there is a possibility that these 3 items on this account were never followed up by anyone and just left in suspension for 4 months receiving closure in March 2019?

When is ebay going to take responsibility or honor their own buyer guarantee that if an item is not as described the buyer will receive a full refund? Instead my refund is prlonged month after month after month, with errors performed by multiple various representatives from ebay's general help, escalations and appeals that I am still sitting here typing yet another complaint because ebay will not do their job or acknowledge that they have a platform to follow so these kinds of problems keep occurring?!

I want my refunds on these 7 items 4 months ago. I am not going to start another process with paypal because ebay can't be responsible, ethical or professional.

eBay ebay store fees being used to charge people more

ebay just changed its policy changing all fixed price listings to good till canceled in so doing so, they can charge more to ebay store dealers, and not give sellers the ability to not renew the add when ebay says, giving no choice whether i relist or not and no notice that this was done until it has happened, i want ebay to remove this policy or face a possible class action lawsuit for changing terms of service while in a contract.

I am with you. The 'new' policy of automatically relisting your expired items, and charging you a fee to relist is a total rip-off. Apparently, in a effort to bolster falling revenue from actual sales, eBay has opted to squeeze more fees from increasingly angered sellers. I shared this issue today with a dis-interested eBay customer service representative during an hour long phone call. By the way, eBay phone reps have no authority to solve anything, and continually refer to hidden supervisors in the background... you know, kind of lo, e the Wizard of Oz.

I just discovered the option to renew on 30 days was changed to GTC. This not only removes choice, but creates an additional burden to sellers with many listings as now we must watch and cancel before GTC kicks in. This coupled with taking a % of postage charged for the "buyers" benefit while keeping said cost is getting ridiculous. I'm actively seeking an alternative to ebay and need advice from other sellers.

eBay item number 202608532750

As per my order placed on March 6, 2019, via prepaid VISA card transaction, Item number : 202608532750, I have received the below communication notifying me that the seller is not anymore on ebay and the item no longer exists.
Having already tried to contact the not anymore existenting seller (impossible to do via your ebay system)
I am left with no choice but to contact you directly.
Please note that the phone numbers on the ebay section help & contacts are not displayed and that the service is now closed. No email contact details are provided either.
My questions are therefore,
Is the item arriving as scheduled ?
If not, when will I have a refund for the non existing/missing item?
Sincerely,

eBay account suspension

My name is Edgar and I am a veteran who got home 2 years ago after a long tour in Iraq. I was racially profiled on eBay and I was kicked off their platform for doing nothing illegal while i was trying to find a new engine for one of my old cars to buy from a member. eBay would not help me or answer any questions other than telling me i am suspicious. This is not fair and unfair treatment that i cannot use eBay which is monopolized the market on finding used goods for sale at a good price.
Never in my life have i felt so singled out.

eBay didn't receive my items

I ordered some toothbrushes and did not receive them and my email went unanswered. I tried to contact the seller again and saw that s/he is no longer a registered user. I tried to contact them again but the window pooped up that said there is a problem and go back a page. I realize that there is not a lot of money involved, but if this person is charge 200 + people $3.00 each, then this is fraud.

I would like my money back please. Here is the page stating he is no longer registered. https://www.ebay.com/usr/liel_shop

Item ID: [protected]
Item price: $3.02 (2 x $1.51)
Seller: newstor67100 (362)

Thank you

eBay chinese seller scam fraud

Ebay linweipqq Chinese Seller Scam Untrustworthy Negative Feedback
This Chinese seller really got some nerves.
To start with, the item wasn't as described and I have requested to send it back.
We have mutually agreed that once they received the item, they will refund the cost of the item including the return postage cost. Things change when the item reach in China.
I ‘ve return the item with Royal Mail track and signed and keep the seller update with tracking number and proof of postage
This seller never bother (Or don't want) to check the item and the post tried to deliver the item for 5 days or more but no answer. (The post leave the card for pick up ofc)
I've contacted the seller for this, and only replied after repeated chasing.
1 minute after replying ‘hi, sorry, we not Have received it, we will go to post Office ask them, many thanks ‘, The seller has opened case and ask Ebay to help in, and 15 min after that the case was CLOSED AND RESOLVED and I will not be refunded!
To my surprise, what's kind of lies the seller telling ebay and what kind of gullible customer service who handled this matter without checking fact and evidence with both seller and buyer. (in this case seller only)
Its been almost 2 months dealing with this, my case was closed in 30 min!
I have go all to way to make this right with a lot and patience and time wasted as they did not reply and need to be chased. I don't even gave them a neutral and negative feedback as I think its only fair for both parties until this is resolved.
It was very frustrating, confusing and disturbing and of course I have appealed for this matter to look at again.
Fortunately, someone is a bit smarter from Ebay customer service look at it, and eventually I was refunded for item and now waiting for Paypal to refund the return postage cost.
I wish I could send negative feedback to warn potential buyer, but I am bit too late for that. Tho, I am gratitude I can write it here and hope people would google up their name and learn from my experience.
