This company does not protect buyers

This company does not protect buyers. I have been ripped off by a seller who now lies and is not trustworthy. Ebay do not care and think this is acceptable. I personally do not think their policies work.

Horrendous experience there isn’t any protection for sellers on eBay at all. Many occasions been left out of pocket and most recently due to human error received negative feedback and eBay refused to help. They don’t even look at it like a human being. I listed an item as buy it now when it should have been auction, it was bought instantly. Informed the client, cancelled it and relisted as an auction and received negative feedback. EBay refuses to help. No investigation, no help, no support. So to get it removed you have to lose big money to the client to get the feedback removed. Human error and held to ransom. Very poor service, very poor protection for sellers. Horrendous staff!

Wish I could give zero stars.
Ordered books for our Book Club. After not arriving I queried why. Just received refund.
Thought we would give it another chance. Books have not arrived this time either.
We will NEVER buy books from eBay again.

Never again

I sold an item for £375 I was informed I would receive £361. My account was credited with £309 when I enquired why I was told ad fee. Thats 14.5%! At no point was it made clear I would be charged £52. I appealed and then…….nothing! Never sell with these rip off merchants again terrible service and massive hidden fees. I wish there was a no star option on TrustPilot

eBay are great ! Says a long service Seller!

I've been an eBay seller for over 24 years and have never had any issues.

Transactions have been smooth, items collected, no fraud, no issues with PayPal.

I've even had courtesy calls from Customer Services who were a delight to speak to.

Nothing more to add apart from I'm delighted to say that I've remained a 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 feedback seller since I started more than 2 decades ago!

Waiting for the long service recognition! 😆

Ebay are charging for fake insurance

Ebay are charging for insurance, but when you try and claim they simply ghost you. I've been scammed 3 times in 2 months by sellers. You contact eBay support. Then nothing. After 20 years I'm done with them. Profit, profit, and more profit is all eBay are interested in. The money they make from their fake insurance, must be in the tens of millions.

Mostly EBay can be trusted but reporting obvious fakes is hazardous . I actually provided photographic proof that an article was a fake . They said it didn’t transgress their selling rules !! They use bots to verify fakes , I very much doubt those bot know what they are doing .

I had to ask a seller for a refund…

I had to message a seller for a refund - which was my fault, due to misreading and slight confusion on my part that I thought I was buying a used item and was actually a downloaded item and so I contacted the seller straight away and they got back to me within a day, which was absolutely awesome and really good customer service.
I was actually surprised how quickly they got back to me during the Xmas period and really appreciated their service. I would recommend.

platform for selling fake goods

Have used Ebay for a few things over many years but am disgusted at their lack of action when sellers sell fake goods to customers. They make it possible to report a suspected fake but close the matter and tell you it has been looked into without actually doing so. In my case reported on xmas eve and closed as looked into on christmas day - yeah right!! sellers know they can get away with it and so they don't give a fig when you tell them you will report it

Ebay guarantee ? Doesn't seem to exist!

Ebay guarantee ? Doesn't seem to exist !
Bought an item from them, took ages to arrive then, when it did, was defo not as described.
Sent it back within an hour of receipt and contacted the seller who made a derisory offer. Contacted Ebay. Then then sent two emails - 1st said they were investigating, then the 2nd two hours later saying the case had been closed -and that the item WASN'T COVERED by their guarantee!
Ridiculous.
Have now taken it up with my bank who seem to need reams of evidence - but don't accept photographs as proof!
Still waiting for a final decision but not holding out much hope for a favourable one.....
Caveat emptor guys.
Love & blessings - but not for Ebay!
