Response to: Ebay and Paypal
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.

I was ripped off in a big way like this buyer was,and Ebay did nothing.They suspended the man's account, and said oh,we are so sorry.They do not refund your money if you get ripped off.There is no phone number for Ebay. Why Not?

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.
