Avoid eBay They want passport and driving licence just so you can sell, They lie, it's not law in UK or USA to give them details, they also lie and say you can't pay fees one off to them, of course you can, but they still shut down your selling listings because you refuse to send over passport or driving licence or council tax proof, birth certificate etc. The worst selling platform, over 15 yrs on eBay and no problems till now, they lost business.I ordeed Molton Brown Eucalyptus shower gel on 18/1,2 bottles arrived 25/1, not the molton brown I have bought from Molton Brown previously. Contacted seller ( Sigma Advantage 1540) to ask for refund. NO RESPONSE. After 5 contact chats where refund was promised, I was sent an e mail with returns label which would not print, i returned the goods. I sent E Bay proof of postage, and then got e mail, stating, " CASE CLOSED NO REFUND". Have reported this to Trading standards. DISGUSTED.Ebay is rubbish, i got forced to managed payments, they asked for my passport, and proof of address. Then they just suspended me for no reason, i had no disputes. I told them i can go on cam, walk into a court of law to prove my identity to see if they dont belive who i am. They saw me as a small seller and dont care as im not making them enough money. They are crooks who have increased fees on listing, selling fees, tax, even taking cuts of postage. Awful platform for new sellers.Ebay made me prove I had not received the goods from "Alice" by contacting courier and asking for evidence. I did so 3 times and courier failed to respond on each occasion. Seller has been believed even though I have not had the goods and was in the day(s) the courier said they were delivered - both 8 and 18 June for one item! Avoid. I have cancelled my membership of Ebay and caution against seller.Ebay took payments from buyers then asked me the seller to upload ID. They won't payout until I do. I have already sent the items so can't refund. They are criminals. Maybe they are in the process of being taken down along with Twitter, Amazon, FAcebook and all the other you know who criminal organisations that want to take over the world.FRAUD Ebay continue to steal money from people by taking it out of their accounts even after signing over to the new agreement where when you've sold something ebay deducts the fees themselves, so PayPal is no longer involved, but after checking my account PayPal has paid ebay £13.61, ebay and PayPal are both FRAUDS and hopefully they'll continue to lose sellers on their platform.This is a review to warn others when they buy via eBay through one of their major online companies. I purchased a pair of shoes from the Superdrystore on eBay. The shoes arrived brand new but not as advertised, not in a box as advertised and in DIFFERENT SIZES! When I went through the very complicated process of returning them and making a complaint I find it very hard to both get a refund and to leave a negative review In fact I could not leave a review it would not let me, so the whole buying process of looking at reviews on a product is a total scam between eBay and their selling companies Surely this illegal that you can only leave positive reviews? The shoes were clearly poorly made and looked counterfeit but there is no way of warning others, what a disgrace Both eBay and the Superdrystore should be ashamed to be able to con customers like thisI bought a defective product. I tried to return it, but the company that collects it (Parcel Force) informed me that I was not at home (but actually the Parcel Force employee entered my house and, seeing that it was a large and heavy product to be collected, he said he would go there and then come back and did not come back, but informed Parcel Force that we were not at home. I tried in several ways to return the product, I even proposed to deliver the product in the mail, but I was ignored by the seller. E-bay thought the salesman was right and I was wrong. I felt like I was a liar.Scams hiding around every corner endorsed by ebay. Do not support this company all they care about is taking your money and will screw you over at any moment if they want toWhat terrible online company! Customer service practically inexistent and if you are finally able to contact them, they are simply rude and unhelpful. NO protection to their customers unless you are a seller. It is simply one of the worse online company. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID And it is obvious that Ebay can't care less about their customers as they don't even have the courtesy to reply to complaints. Eurk!If you are a seller and have an issue with a buyer, ebay will back the buyer 100% regardless of the circumstances. I have been trying to resolve a return/ refund dispute with a buyer and every message I have sent to ebay has been ignored. I sent the buyer a return postage label, which they did not use. Still ebay refunded the buyer, closed the case & my appeal. Horrible company!If you do want to trap in any scam then please use the other websites to buy product online. Also the customer support is the worst. They will always try to convince you that its all your (buyer's) fault and they can not do anything against that. Scammers!You can blame ebay for your parcel being late as they hold your payment from the seller for up to 8 days! For no other reason than to collect the interest on our sales. Was a good company, now greedy, corrupt and deceiving STAY CLEAR If you want an item quickly!Costumer services useless. Keep promising but never did. I feel robbed and raped. Not respect at all. But Humax recording box sent back I have tracking number but every day a new excuse to whole my £100 back. My rating is zero.I can't speak for selling anything there, but from the buying side of it, some items arrive faster than others. Depends on the seller.I purchased an item through eBay, the item has not arrived. EBay is making every excuse in favour of the seller, allowing them extra time for the item to arrive. When they should have the seller blocked, and refund me my hard-earned cash. I have been a member since 2007. And they could not care less about me. Their attitude on chat is deplorable and arrogant. I am closing my account shortly and I would advise anyone thinking of opening one or thinking of purchasing anything through eBay to think long and hard before doing so. They are the worst to communicate with, you cannot email, it is blocked. I've tried phoning only to be cut off after several minutes on hold. Chat is stressful and a total waste of time. Be Warned!I had a problem with a dishonest buyer which I bought a brand new phone, wait a week and then open a dispute for a microphone faulty... he open the phone and change components... so now I got no money and broken phone... this is eBay now... I just walk away and move to Facebook Amazon etc etc USELESSI spend plenty time in this eBay to find the things on good price in auction but there is no auction by it s mean anymore, if you won the item cheap seller can cancel the deal and you can not leave any negative feedback for seller any more that means the smallest thing which was a negative feedback for this kind of sellers can't be done any more so what is the point to leave possetive? Before ebay used to ask me to do surveys and I rated eBay poor and now even they don't let me to do the surveys, worse to worseI use eBay quite often for the most part. I switched to them after experiencing Amazon's dodgy search engine and business practises. You really need to beware of what is offered. READ IT CAREFULLY! There are plenty of dodgy sellers that will say one thing in the title, but something totally different in the advert. For example I was looking at a MacBook pro computer from 2014. The title said it was brand new. The description said it was refurbished with "brand new refurbished parts." A clear conflict in terminology to confuse potential buyers. As a rule, just steer clear of anything that is refurbished, unless it in a sealed box from the manufacturer that says it's refurbished. The real problem with adverts like these is eBay refuses to do anything about them. You report the advert, but it's never removed or changed. This particular advert is still there, unchanged after reporting it weeks ago! Next is the search engine. When I search for something, I am usually very specific about what I want. I include an exact description, model numbers, etc. Do I get what I want? Yes and no, but more often than Amazon. EBay has also adopted the practise of loading your search results with useless rubbish that isn't related to your search. They seem to think it will entice you to buy what ever rubbish they feed you. No... i just close the page and purchase nothing! And finally the area in which you search. Call me stupid, but I thought when you select "UK Only" it means you will only see results from the UK. Nope... You'll get loads of results from the USA and Australia... but not the EU... wonder why. I won't purchase, say a MacBook Pro, from the USA or Australia. You get screwed with Paypal's exchange rate, you get screwed on the shipping and you get screwed on the import tax. Need I say more? A final note... if you have a problem with a seller, DO NOT CONTACT EBAY! Open a dispute with PayPal instead. Unlike eBay, PayPal is a financial institution and are governed by the same authority governing banks. They are required, by law, to investigate the dispute, just as your bank would investigate. I would say around 90% of the time you'll get a refund from PayPal. If your parcel doesn't arrive, PayPal will require the SELLER to provide tracking information and proof of delivery. EBay requires YOU to prove that you didn't get the parcel... and just how are you supposed to do that? EDIT: More eBay stupidity... Their search engine is as useless as Amazon! I did a search for a particular SSD that would replace the overpriced SSD in my MacBook Pro. I specifically searched for a 2TB (Terabyte) Sabrent SSD. Notice in the picture, the very first item is a ONE TB SSD! Did I search for a one tb ssd? No, I did not. I searched for a 2 TB SSD.Unless you are rich and can go weeks after paying postage without money then avoid eBay Complete trashI sold a pair of shoes on eBay ( designer, Chanel to be specific) I had bought them from the boutique myself so I can 1000% guarantee that they authentic. I sent them with the box to so called " authentication centre", got paid for the item and now 2 days later I receive a message from the buyer that, she has received a message from eBay explaining that the trainers are not authentic. Firstly, is the embarrassment and second is the unprofessional authentication centre that has no clue what they are doing. It is just disgraceful to see a department judge's your items based on their opinion and not on facts. I bought the shoes in 2017 so of course I don't have the receipt but I can provide proof from the store as I have my history there. But based on eBay's notes their opinion is the final call and no appeal is accepted. So my question to ebay is, If you think It is not authentic then there should be room for an appeal, after all you have not stated proof of purchase is a must when selling designer items. And if no, you do not accept appeals, then you should be 100% sure that you know that the item is a fake before sending out such emails to the buyers and leaving the poor sellers looking like scammers in the buyers eyes. You are extremely quick to remove your fees, so you should do your jobs properly. You are getting paid for the service you provide.I can say they deliver what they show on their site. Need to improve their delivery time took over a week to deliver my parcel.Ordered an item from Motor solutions on eBay. Was advised del would take 3-5 days. Messaged the seller on several occasions and asked for a refund.as I had waited 7 days. Seller refused a refund so I wrote on eBay feedback about the atrocious attitude of motor solutions. They then messaged me to say I would receive a refund if I removed the feedback. These people a obviously totally untrustworthy and underhanded and should not be in business except maybe in the underworld. By the way it is now 15 days since the item was supposedly dispatched? And eBay have been no help at all. Motor solutions are to customer care what Maggie Thatcher was to the minersI have been with eBay for decades and have an excellent record selling with them. Tried to open a new account and they permanently suspended it! They wouldn't tell me why and we're extremely rude. Absolutely shocking behaviour! I am going to trading standards about this.Another sell/buy platform has become a necessary thing. Ebay is in its last days. I will not explain more, but those who are selling on Ebay know that.
