eBay

My main source of buying interesting items is at ebay.com. I have been using EBay to buy stuff for about 2 years now, and have been satisfied with all of my purchases from sellers on the site. One main thing I shop for often is hairbows for my 2 ...

EBay is the proverbial 800 pound gorilla which can be a gentle giant or a nasty bully ... all depending upon your situation. Essentially eBay is a marketplace and can be both fun and profitable. It can be a drag when you face ignorant buyers, ...

I have been active on eBay since 1998 and have well over 400 transactions, mostly buying. I enjoy getting good deals and the ability to check and see what something is selling for is very cool. My major areas of contempt are as follows: 1) if you the ...

CAREFUL when you shop on eBay--especially for big $$$ (several thousand dollar)items. Every day I shop on eBay I find crooks lurking trying to use eBay as a way to find easy marks. If you bid on something that seems like a great deal or you ask a ...

Shady business practices. Frustrating anonymity. Outright theft. Anyone who's ever shopped online is well aware of what can happen when searching for that perfect bauble or too-good-to-be-true electronics deal. That's where eBay filled a ...

I registered an account a month ago. I listed my first item yesterday. My account was suspended immediately. When I asked for explanation, eBay just sent me a bunch of links to read. I read them and found nothing relevant. I have sent multiple messages ...

E-Bay or PayPal do not protect their buyers. A seller--- abdou55(109)--- sent me an item (a camcorder) that was not remotely 'as advertised' because as advertised by this seller--- abdou55(109)--- the camcorder was said to be in 'very good working order' ...

I have used ebay for a number of years now and am kind of addicted. I am continually find great deals on things. So if you want to save money on things and even find things that are not in your local store this is the place. I do have to offer a word ...

It's fun. Surfing from site to site and finding all the the things you've ever wanted, ever needed and most likely already have. Bidding on items that you may be lucky enough to buy. Since I'm an on-line buyer only, I found this to be just what I was ...

Due to excessive fees I could not sell on Ebay. Buyers complain about the high shipping & handling costs but what they fail to realize is the outrageous charges that Ebay & Paypal places on the Sellers. When I tried to keep my shipping at a reasonable ...

I wish I had read the fine print before ordering from this site. First of all, the merchant promised same day shipping and did not ship for 6 days. The item was not of the quality that I expected - not the merchant's fault. Order tracking was promised ...

Feedback is one of the most important tools to use. However, Ebay.com does keep the public in the dark on every single transaction. For example; say you bought three things on Ebay and left positive feedback and received positive feedback back by the ...

Bought from a ebay store (power seller) that was advertising a 10' X 10' gazebo replacement canopy. Since this one was the first site I had tried to order from and I needed one, I thought I'd give them a try. Figured that since my gazebo was 10' X 10' ...

eBay has grown too large too fast. What once was a fun place to use to buy or sell has become a behemoth that cannot control itself. Additionally the "customer service" is an oxymoron - a non sequitir. I was a Power Seller with 1,000+ transactions and ...

I have been an Ebayer for a very long time. Recently, though, I have cut back on my selling. For one thing, if you are seller on Ebay, you get fees for everything, and it's expensive. A listing fee, a photo fee, a gallery fee, an auction fee, an ...

Update: Jan 17, 2009A seller can not leave you negative feedback? How long has this been going on? As a seller I would want to know if I had a deadbeat bidder on my auction. I rely on feedback both buying and selling. I use to be able to block ...

My overall shopping experience at ebay has been very good. Most sellers are great and easy to work with but there are a few bad apples. I would suggest only dealing with Powersellers or sellers that have excellent feedback. I would also suggest ...

I have been shopping with Ebay for about a year, and have made over 40 purchases. Out of the 40 purchases I have been pleased with all of them except for about 3 or 4 purchases. I have been scammed once, and was out around $40. Ebay was no help getting ...

I've tried a couple of other auction systems, and nothing compares with the number and variety of things offered. I've bought 40-50 items on eBay, have dealt with some of the best people I've ever run into, and hit a couple of crooks. You'll see a ...

I personally have not purchased anything off of eBay, but I have sold things on eBay. This experience was a little scary. You have to do your homework to make sure that you get paid. I was selling some toys that were my son's. The sale went really ...
