  EBAY SUCKS
  MAN WORDS DONT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL RITE NOW.
  
  ok I know you are going, yeah, tell us something we dont know. so here is my story.
  
  I have been a seller on ebay for way better than a year. I have positive feedback of 81, not a big guy, but I was at least not a noob.
  I buy and sell play stations and xbox etc. I posted a xbox system and a dvd rom for one up for sell.
  Both "sell", yeah rite.
  The system, is desinged to seperate YOU the seller from your final value fee's. And then tell you to go jump off a bridge.
  
  The first one, the complete system, the buyer was from africa,(can you say SCAM?) My listing clearly says, I ship to NORTH AMERICA ONLY. Nuff said. That one they close, and credit back EVENTUALLY, after telling me to contact my buyer and work it out. WHAT PART OF I AINT SHIPPING TO AFRICA DONT YOU GET?
  
  Second one, the dvd rom for a xbox. The kid(I am assuming he is a kid) emails me tells me its his first day on ebay and he has no plan to pay for this(game to them).
  I file for credit, cut an dry simple enough rite? NOPE.
  I am supposed to contact my buyer and work it out if we can. THEY have emailed me and told me that they are not gonna buy it. Oh well you have to wait 7 days to file that!!!!!!!!!! WHY?
  customer support? you even try to get these clowns you are in for a ride. Good luck getting a phone number or an email address to just send a complaint to. OH NO
  You have TO JUSTIFY the need to contact them first. I AM A CUSTOMER, you need to justify the need for me to spend my money.
  Any way, long story short, I find their chat help location(dont bother more of the same)
  well it leads back to the same lip service, you need to contact the buyer and work this out. NO you(EBAY) need to get your collective heads removed from your rectums.
  I have even sent them a copy of the email, from the "buyer", they tell me to wait and work it out with them.
  Oh geeze believe I will NEVER EVER EVER SELL on ebay again.

  I have been with ebay since 1999. Never had a problem buying maybe I was lucky, always got my stuff, no complaints BUT as I became a seller and have a feedback of 144 i know is not a power seller status. One day got suspended don't know why or for how long. And as you know customer service through emails sucks! I searched google and just found a phone number to call ebay direct which I plan on doing tomorrow, I called it does work. Pass this on and hope this helps anyone resolve problems. I still have my to settle with the bad boys myself. 408-376-7425 Ebay sucks
  Good luck all!

  I hope you guys don't mind if I post here (being a newbie etc) but after many many months of hearing about how people have been getting more concerned about Ebay, some of the members and their customer service, we have just launched our own videogames and gaming related auction site. http://www.videogameauctions.co.uk will be gaming specific but will include development sub-categories as it seems Ebay have a habit of pulling these auctions from their site.
  If you do have time, please feel free to pop by and have a look. We only launched last Thursday and are still in final beta stages, but everything being posted is real and available to bid on. During the next few weeks there are no charges so no risk.
  Of course we're after members and I wont pretend we're not, but I feel it is important to let people know that we can make a difference to the online auction marketplace, we will listen to people's grievances and we will mediate where we can in roder to help both parties and people will not be banned or reprimanded without a proper reason and of course proper notice.
  Anyway, please accept my apologies for coming here with this, I simply went to google and put in 'ebay sucks' and here I am.
  Enjoy the rest of your day :)

  I'm bone fide British journo investigating eBay for a news story for national British newspaper
  
  I'm particularly interested in the fact that ebay turns a blind eye to fraud
  
  Allows very libellous feedback from the frausters to remain on your account - even when they have closed the fraudster down
  
  ie their rules transcend the laws of the land
  
  eBay atre 'control freaks' ie troublemakers are only allowed to send very few PMs to sellers and other buyers
  
  etc etc
  
  anyone who weould like to tell me stuff off the record or like their tales of woe featured (preferrably on the record) then please email me in confidence at ian at ikg dot org dot uk
  
  thanks

  eBay sucks alright, They cancelled yet another one of my auctions last night only 24 hours from the end claiming “Keyword Spamming”.
  
  The item was a lawn tractor, This particular brand back through the 1980’s when this machine was built not only built their own equipment but also was somehow involved with John Deere and later Cub Cadet and sold lawn tractors under their nameplate and color that were built by John Deere and Cub Cadet (much like Sears does today with the Craftsman lawn tractors).
  
  Now herein lies the problem, By putting (not John Deere Cub Cadet) in the title I was intending to express this was not BUILT by John Deere or Cub Cadet, It wasn’t intended as keyword spam or search engine manipulation at all, Just a statement of truth and fact.
  
  So if your still with me on this, Hasn’t eBay now outlawed the TRUTH by canceling this auction?? LMAO
  
  For those who have been burned by sellers on E-bay, Know we aren’t all like that. I have been selling on eBay for over 5 years and (knock on wood) haven’t had too much trouble from bidders. I’m probably overly cautious about who I buy from and have never bought anything from outside the U.S. and Canada. It’s the worlds largest garage (or perhaps garbage) sale and you just have to try to look at who your dealing with and what possible recourse you may have should things go bad. Also I don’t buy from anyone that doesn’t at least put their E-mail address if not a phone number in their listing. I quit putting my phone number because I was tired of answering the phone at 3am, But I still have my E-mail address right on the auction page.
  
  Also look at things like E-mail addresses, AOL and a lot of the free E-mail services use spam control that may block your messages. So I always try to contact the person before I bid so I know communication is possible. If the e-mail address is from a site you never heard of go look at that site. A lot of us have our own websites we use for sales or just for hosting pictures, You can look up who owns the website too and get a better idea of who your dealing with. Many like me are quite visible once you start looking at things like that. And for those who might be looking, I own a total of 6 websites, None of which make me any money though. LoL
  
  Is eBay a rip off, Hell yea it is!! But unfortunately some like myself are stuck with it until something better comes along.

  I listed an item on Ebay for the first time this week. Nothing expensive - a baseball cap worth under 30 bucks. The auction was going fine for 10 days. Then when I went to see who won my auction on the last day I got this nasty email from Ebay telling me that they cancelled my auction, that I was in violation of their listing policies and they threathened to ban me from their site! I learnt the hard way that I can't mention 2 brand names in a listing title. Ok fair enough, I'm a beginner, I didn't know the rules and I made a mistake. I included 2 brand names in my title (like tens of thousand other listings do). But I don't see why Ebay waited untill the last second of my 10 day auction to cancel my listing. This is ridiculous and their reaction is way over the top and aggressive. I would have happily made a change to my listing if they just told me about the problem in the first place. Many people wasted their time bidding on the item for 10 days and Ebay pulled the carpet under their feet at the last second. What is that all about?? What a waste of time for everyone involved.

  I sent 1000 dollars through ebay using western union wire transfer. I was told in an email that the transaction was insured, however when I never recieved the product and the seller refused to contact me I was told there is nothing I can do except call the police, he lived in Romania so I don't think theres any chance in getting my money back. They made it out I was the one in the wrong. Not the fraudster, MUTOIU GELU.

  www.valuecitymerchandise.com is a cool wholesale site as is the one listed below (same company using overstock.com auctions) Why use feepay when you can use overstock.com.auctions.

  You gotta be careful of ebay suspending you for using some dropshippers now. I got suspended and ebay wanted me to fax them my proof of purchase on some items. I complied and they suspended me and everyone else who used that dropshipper, saying the merchandise wasn't authentic. I got a signed statement from the manufacturer after sending them a sample of the merch, and it didn't do any good.
  
  Long story short, if you don't know what you're up against, you're screwed. Check out the address in the title ( http://ebaysuspension.ezguidebooks.com ). it'll tell you what you need to know.
  
  cheers!

  ebay doesn't suck. iOffer sucks!! I have been a member of ebay for 6 years, never had a problem. I bought something on iOffer from ivannamovie. She said it was the original and when I received it, it was obviously a home taped copy. She didn't even bother to label it professionaly. White label with black print: "Queen". That was it. How Blatantly Bogus! Anyway, I returned it. She hasn't refunded my money yet for the misrepresented item. Numerous emails to her, probably 6 or 8. She responds by saying she was busy, what is my paypal addy, or, she thought paypal already refunded me, then she asked again for my paypal address. What a DITZ!! I contacted iOffer after a month, no response. Two weeks later tried again. No response. The seller keeps responding to my emails by saying "What is your paypal address so I can refund you". Did I say what a DITZ? Please!! I humored her dumb ass by giving it to her each time, even tho it is in her pay pal log since that is how she got my payment. She still hasn't refunded me, this is obviously a thief stalling for time. So I gave her a negative and still iOffer won't respond to me and neither will Paypal. I've always gotten satisfaction from ebay. They are the class act.
