Ebay Anmeldelser 

Use to love eBay but every purchase has a problem lately. Ebay don't sort any problems out like before. They need to make sellers accountable. Sellers not having items in stock and not telling you until well pass the due delivery date. Sellers stating the item is being posted from the UK but actually they are posting from China.

Slow shipping and hard to communicate with seller

delivery not received, seller doesn't answer, nobody available to complain....

It is impossible to contact anyone at ebay so its just plays into the hands of the scammers. I am now having to return an item to a different address to what ebay have. The seller has said he has now updated his new address with ebay but there is no way of me checking this. Can`t contact them.

do not buy used clothing especially womens on ebay. its mostly garbage from thriftstore clearance racks and free piles at yard sales. there are some great deals but the really bad deals cancel them out. there are fabulous treasures of all sorts on ebay, but the unscrupulous sellers with no standards ruin the pleasure of the hunt. i got gorgeous things but i also got things that turned my stomach. if youve got money to gamble and time to spend returning etc, go ahead otherwise, shop locally. shopping on ebay is like shopping in a thriftstore with very very bad lighting. it became far more trouble than its worth. some just honest people just trying to make a living , some not very bright , some perhaps deranged, some just blatantly dishonest. shop in person whenever possible. look them in the eye. touch the stuff.....it is not true that ebay favors buyers over sellers in disputes.. it is absurd to claim that a photograph from a phone gives a clear indication of the condition of an item. no less than 15 mothholes present on a woolen scarf described as perfect and not visible in photograph. another i bought a coach bag described as new, brand new, and then seller revealed, of course , its new, i only used it for six months.... yeah . i closed my account.....the last straw was the 6 yes 6 linen blouses all described as excellent, all resembling well used tea towels....

Ebay used to be easy to list but its changed so much and in my opinion its got harder. This along with fees going up and Ebay taking a percentage of postage fees now too its put me off using them as much. Postage is to pay for exactly what it says and in a lot of cases costs more than i charge ao i lose out both ways then

The Ebay Global Shipping Program is to be avoided. It took almost a month to receive a package that was only going across the Irish sea and on top of that it cost more and the product was damaged when I received it. Then they have the audacity to send me an email trumpeting a successful transaction! No way to make a complaint on their website either. I replied to their email with a complaint but no response.

I bought an item through Ebay UK. I checked the reviews before purchase and all were good. However my item arrived broken. The items was poorly packaged and would never have survived worldwide postage and was nearly $100 Australian Dollars.

When I then took up the issue with Ebay they undertook an "investigation". 2 months later I heard nothing and I followed up only to be told by Ebay that the item was sent from Ireland which is not covered by their protection mechanisms. They told me to contact PayPal who in turn contacted the seller who naturally will not provide a refund as they know that Ebay will do nothing about the damaged item.

So essentially sellers based in Ireland can hide behind the UK Ebay site, sell anything they like, create fake reviews and Ebay will support their fraudulent activity. In fact, by their very inaction, Ebay are endorsing this behaviour. If Ebay were against the sale of items not as described they would not allow Ireland based sellers to seel through the Ebay website.

I cannot warn people off enough - DO NOT BUY FROM EBAY UK sellers as you are at a very high risk of not receiving the goods at all or receiving broken or damaged goods with no recourse from Ebay.

Ebay.ie can see for themselves the excessive postage charges that are forceing customers to purchase from Hong Kong, China ect causing long delays in delivery times.

-10 for them too same as PayPal. After 9 years had to close my account due to security issues are they interested - no. I am out of pocket £120 for goods dispatched and money sent to wrong paypal account and lost sales £270. Very hard to contact don’t seem to understand simple English and pass you from pillar to post.

I have purchased from eBay a number of times and most recently I purchased phone cases as they are 60% cheaper from an online British seller compared the phone stores in Ireland. The site is easy to navigate on your desktop, but I find the mobile site a bit frustrating and only use it to find a product and then email the link to myself.

I mostly order from UK sellers, but I have ordered from China. The UK products always arrive within the time frame, but the products from China arrive a bit later than expected. Sometimes it can be 1 to 2 weeks after the expected delivery date that they have given you when ordering.

I understand why it happens and usually what I have ordered isn't something I need immediately so it's fine. But I think this needs to be amended on eBay delivery policy. We all know issues can arise with getting the product out on time and getting it all the way to Ireland especially from China as it is no where near as close to Ireland as the UK is, so I understand why it happens..

But other than that, I've been lucky to never have had any issues with them and I am happy to order from them again.

Don´t buy anything through Ebay. I have not received my order, and cannot get in contact with Ebay. They make it so difficult to reach them, so you give up. I wonder where my money is? Probably in Ebay´s pocket or Pay pal´s. Pay Pal is also a bad compagny.

Sometimes you can find products for a cheap money. But it's very annoying that the conversation between currencies is different when you make a bid/offer and when you have to pay, that's a very unfair trading policy, simply called fraud. (and no, that's not the difference between Ebay's and PayPal calculation, it's Ebay itself)
If you are selling something, you will face with very high success fees on Ebay, more than 10%.

In overall I like to use it to buy things, I know that the price what is displayed is not true, if you calculate with this (+2%), then no unexpected surprise will occur.

Good if you buying something and deal complete without issues.

If any problems with purchase then you will talk "with wall": send an question to ebay and get standard answer " please read FAQ or contact seller or resolve problem on paypal". They no care about buyer, they care only to receive fees and charges.

If private seller and sell something then fees/charges over high. You loose more then get.

Everything work for only for paying fees/charges to ebay and no care about buyers and sellers

I am a retailer of musical instruments for almost 15 years on EBay.
Since this summer EBay and Paypal decide on everything! The dishonest customers have beautiful days in front of them indeed!
Fourth time which I am had...
EBay urge pros to sell abroad but attention when the customs keeps(guards) the parcel longer that planned, EBay wants to know nothing and they pay off the customer then the case closed! Motive: it is necessary to respect a delivery deadline who is not clear otherwise it is the customer who gets back his money(silver) without naturally your opinion(notice)! Result(profit) of the races(shopping): I lost the money(silver) and also the object...

Bought something and as soon as I did I got a message saying the account I had purchased from had been compromised. I got onto their customer care and they said they couldn't do anything. I contacted paypal and managed to get my money back. Meanwhile ebay are sending me messages telling me how secure my account is and how they are making sure my account is secure. Thing is what about the poor guy who's account had been compromised? Ebay obviously hadn't kept his account secure had they? so why should I believe them when they tell me mine is lol. Update - so I used eBay again and bought what turned out to be rubbish from a power seller with good ratings. The thing is as I found out when trying to leave a review of the seller is that u have to wait 1 week to leave negative feedback but can leave positive feedback straight away. So to get around this ppl leave negative feedback with positive Stars so it's published straight away. This gives a false feedback overall view so the seller has a higher rating than their true rating. Closed my eBay account down much rather just use Amazon as all eBay does is give me problems and their customer service is awful.

ebay continues to be the easiest site for selling most items - they have the payment process down pat and make posting a breeze.

terrible customer support if there is an issue with a seller in Asia

I use ebay a lot with 500+ transactions, the prices and options are great but the service varies dramatically from one seller to the next, and seems to be deteriorating. I've had more paypal disputes in the last year than the 9 years before that combined.
