Paid $719.00 new solar stuff happy with purchasing. However decided to transfer money for food shopping and what happened poof into eBay what the.. yeah a duplicate hold even though all paid for.. agent no 1 couldn’t help me, Agent 2, 2 days later acknowledged the mistake but couldn’t fix my card..the effect has rendered my primary card useless. No compensation for this major disruption!!
Unacceptable practices beware buyers…don’t use a visa!
Still this should have never happened in these technologies right!
Will shop elsewhere due to the lack of understanding by EBAY.

After buying items and only receiving…

After buying items and only receiving part of this seller had negative feedback removed. At which I contacted eBay AND given written guarantee feedback WAS valid and should not have been removed at I asked for them to reinstate it which they could not BUT allowed me to leave feedback on other with their guarantee it WOULD NOT be removed. But true to their word it was SO, so much for their:
"QUOTE" Keeping our members safe is a top priority for us, so we have zero tolerance for fraud on eBay. If you spot something suspicious, let us know.
Seller IS still trading with FULL 100% feedback even though they fraudulently ripped me off.
I believe eBay MUST contact the person whom has left feedback PRIOR to just removing such that can not be reinstated. OR READ FULL CASE DETAILS use your heads before leaving others at risk from these sellers!

Absolutely atrocious, zero stars

I’ve tried to sell 2 items on eBay recently.

The first had bids withdrawn so the sale didn’t go through. The second item was a pick up item with cash on pick up. The buyer didn’t contact me whatsoever and has just waisted my time. eBay is nothing but trouble, a lot more trouble than it’s worth. Considering most people either stuff you around or are just scavengers expecting everything for nothing.

The bad part is eBay let these ppl remain on the site and you can’t even block ppl from buying from you unless they have more than 2 unpaid items in the past 12 months.
This is a mongrel company that I’m surprised still exists.
There’s no point complaining because customer service just lies to you. They say they will look into the matter but nothing ever happens.
I’m done with eBay they can get stuffed! Mongrels!

eBay Plus is not fit for purpose, refund refused, poor service

eBay Plus is not fit for purpose and eBay refuse to refund payment, breaking Australian Consumer Law.

After spending $49 on eBay Plus I purchase some "eBay Plus" items with "FREE Express Delivery".

I actually paid more for the item since I needed urgently and the other supplier was going to take 5 days via regular post.

The sender then posts the item REGULAR post and it takes over a week to arrive. I paid more for express but it was slower than my other supplier.

Ebay refuse to do anything about it. My only remedy is to send the item back and get a refund, further delaying procurement.

eBay states I can leave negative feedback, but AGAIN MY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN REMOVED.

I only leave negative feedback when the purposely tries to scam me, or seller refuses to admit or correct a mistake but now EIGHT OUT OF TEN OF UNFAVOURABLE REVIEWS I HAVE GIVEN OVER LAST 2 YEARS WERE REMOVED SOON AFTER POSTING.

I have bought THOUSANDS of items (over 1,000 just in last 3 years) and spent over $100,000 on eBay over 15 years.

Along with several other issues with eBay letting sellers rip me off and now outsourced EXTREMELY POOR CHAT SERVICE, I boycotted eBay for 30 days and now buy most of my items elsewhere.

Atrocious Company

Very poor customer service, very hard to rectify any issues. Allows sellers to sell fraudulent , counterfeit goods. Sellers are able to openly rip people off with no repercussions. Buyers are given the run around with no after sales support. DO NOT USE EBAY!!!!

If I could I would give 0/5

If I could I would give 0/5. Appauling customer service. My parcel did not arrive. The courier company who was meant to deliver my parcel could not be contacted, the seller did not care my parcel never arrived and Ebay who has a " money back guarantee" did not honour this and did not refund. There was no proof of delivery.i will never buy from Ebay again... instead Catch and Amazon will get my business.

Purchased a mp3 stereo for my BT50 from Oz pro, the item was not as described when I received the item I new that it was the wrong item for my car, notified oz pro of the issue and it took around 24hrs to get a response from Wendy. Wendy stated to send the item back to a different address that the item was sent from ( which sparked alarm bells) so I took there advice and sent it back to the address Wendy responded with. Australia post advised us that because of delays resulting from covid it would be delivered late to the seller, the seller received the item and signed for it and still to this day has failed to refund my $533 back to me, I put in a complaint to ebay and PayPal but both are stating I have no case, well guess what my solicitor thinks differently so I'll be in touch with Wendy ebay and PayPal very soon, so for everyone out there please be careful on purchasing items through ebay as I hold ebay fully responsible for the outcome of my case.

It's concerning and deeply troubling…

It's concerning and deeply troubling from first-hand experience, forums and review sites that eBay overcharge sellers fees, specifically Final Value (FV) and Ad fees after these issues surfaced on numerous occasions. Concisely, Ad Fees are doubled up (at least) - Goodluck reconciling if you sell the same item multiple times as eBay do not provide an order number on your Ad fee transactions history. Additionally, FV Fees are charged above the standard eBay promoted rates. eBay bases its seller fees on a metric system but the issue here is eBay cooks the metrics to look like your 'Below 'Standard' so eBay can charge you higher FV fees. Numerous sellers have raised eBay fee overcharging concerns on this platform along with other review sites but interestingly there's still no change, eBay appears to remain continuing to overcharge sellers. Interestingly enough, eBay is not regulated in Australia, therefore sellers must take legal action including forming a group representation for class action in taking the fee overcharging matters to small claims court after eBay consistently refutes the 'system generated' over charged fees. EBAY - STOP RIPPING OFF SELLERS THEN DENYING IT INSTEAD OF REFUNDING OR BETTER YET, CEASING THIS WELL KNOWN SELLER FEE RIPOFF DOGGY PRACTICE!!!

Vikram at ebay.com.au doesn.t listen . Payed no attention to what i was saying . Didn.t care . Most of all the low life sent me a survey . He deleted it because he like the truth

Warning ebay controls u . . Don.t ever offend / or ask for any help from them because they have tendency to play the smart a,,rce game

They are a double tax company . The add they play on australian tv is actually them . What you see is what you get ,

Non-authorised charges by eBay

Charged me A$49 for eBay Plus when I did not subscribe. I asked for evidence of why that charge was levied on my account and charged against my credit card. eBay have not responded. Nor will eBay action my multiple emails requesting a full refund. Very poor service and communication.

Item faulty and seller does not expect to last. Had under year .will show reply from seller.

Dear mrrackstraw,

Thanks for your email and sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry, the item you bought is too long and it is out of warranty. You use it for a long time, and it is normal that the item will not work for a long time used. Hope you could understand. If you still need this item, you could buy a new one from other store.

Look forward to your early reply. Have a nice day!

The eBay customer support is abysmal to say the least. I wanted to purchase a phone, approached eBay customer support expressing concerns over the seller's profile and genuinity, i was assured the seller was legit and should proceed with a $999 transaction. Phone purchased and payment issued via PayPal. A tracking number was provided, a week later it was all marked as delivered, yet NO phone. Contacted the delivery provider who advised the tracking number was valid, an item was delivered. However the item was NOT addressed to me. turned out the tracking number was a SCAM. eBay was advised a case was raised, 3 days later my case was CLOSED without any investigation even thought i provided all correspondences and evidence from the courier company. I finally managed to get my money back from PayPal who were awesome.

DO NOT use eBay unless your payment provider facilitates online purchase protection. eBay is torrid in this regard and will NOT back you up where you need it. this organisation is NOT the same as they used to be, the platform is full of scammers and i wont be surprised if eBay was part of it all.

PLEASE BE AWARE.

Hi there to whom it may concern,To be very honest with you I’m more than disappointed with your service and how you treat customers,especially when it comes to getting in touch with your so called Company.There is nobody,absolutely nobody you can talk to when it comes to issues about Fraudsters and Scammers.In our Case we got ripped of by a Seller which you,after our Investigations You are obviously doing Business since years and you should be well aware of,in this Case a so called Company from Malaysia trading in Australia under the name Yeli Trade,Ego electronics,electronics oz,buy from ozone and oz wonderland....aso...scammers through and through,they change their so called Business Name whenever it gets too hot under their chair...And you know about this for years,you support criminals,give them a 99.5%rating so people fall into their trap,and there is the question,who is worse,the Scammer or the one who supports them...in this case the latter,I lost $290 all up...and I can tell you one thing...I will not give up ...and I’m very very serious about this,I will hand this matter over not the local police,but Interpol,and will work on to destroy your reputation Worldwide,because you support criminals,and gave grief to thousands of vulnerable customers all over the world,and you are aware of this problem for a long time,and haven’t done nothing about it,too bad.You obviously think ur the cheese because u stink,Amazon does a lot better than you guys,and we will do our best to destroy you...because you got no sympathie with the hand that feeds you,the Customer,which should be the number one,instead you knowingly support criminals and scammers big time,for so many years now,this has to come to an end,and as I said,we will work on your downfall with any means until you change your behaviour...Regards L.W.

Sneakers? NOT FROM ebay !!!

So I needed a pair of sneakers and was impressed as ebay now authenticate they are genuine . When they finally arrived they were too small but Despite the seller agreeing to the return by parcel to USA ebay one day later close the case as ” it has been authenticated” ,never mind the small size. The seller had not indicated ”no returns” and was cooperative . Ebay ? Never again after 18 years goodbye and good riddens!

Ebay Customer Service Biased to Earning Commission

I ordered a special Japanese Pressing SACD and naturally paid for it before it could be dispatched.
Astonishingly I received an EU pressing with none of the details matching the item description except the names :(.
I raised a dispute and initially received Ebay support.
I explained that I needed a prepaid envelope that could be used at no inconvenience to myself and a refund. No envelope just a PDF that I cannot print.
Approached Ebay for support, received scripted responses, looks like another remote and unqualified team that either do not read or do not understand plain English.
Some two months later I am still awaiting resolution to this dispute! My conclusion - Ebay are only interested in commission on sold items with no attempt to protect buyers.
You will get a good selection and good deals on Ebay but be warned, if you come across unscrupulous sellers you are on your own, Ebay do not care about buyers.
