Ebay Complaint

I have come to the realization that eBay is a joke.

eBay, as we know it now, will not exist in 10 years. I do not know what will happen - maybe regulation, maybe competition, maybe change from within, but eBay is rife with scams, unscrupulous behavior and it seems eBay does nothing about it.

It would be/is amazingly easy to scam someone on eBay, and they know it happens to the tune of millions (or maybe billions) per year, yet they do nothing to stop it.

 

That really sucks. E-bay is getting worse and worse and scarier to deal with each day. Too bad there's not a way to send a surge of 480 volts through computer lines to these dik wad trolls.

 

Jason,

I had issues with eBay previously and was able to get the phone number to the President and called him directly. I can find the information if you want me to, his assistant was able to get things done. These clowns can't do much.

 

Oh ya!?

Haha

The funny part is I think that was taken outside of eBays corp hq..

Jason..PM sent.

 

A little eBay trivia: does anyone know what the very first item sold on eBay was?

 

I do!

BTW, for future reference..with auctions of this caliber it is possible to make the bidding by invite only. That way you can weed out potential scumbags

 

They own Paypal too. Beware.

 

And if there's one company that's worse than ebay, it's paypal.

 

Yea, try this. I'm not sure what the damage is here? You get to relist, lost a bit of time and you've learned how to prevent this in future. IMO ebay is very aware of the problems and are making an effort to prevent this stuff. They seem to be reacting much quicker these days. The very nature of the internet leaves things wide open for scams. With some serious due diligence I think ebay is still a good way to go. Unfortunately there are a lot of people abusing it.

 

I could have saved you the time and told you that 9 out of 10 people on ebay are mentally challenged.

 

No doubt.

After reading this I closed all of my accounts.

I wonder if that does any good though. $5 says they still have all of your information somewhere

 

There certainly is no binding contract with Ebay.

Relist your item immediately and file your unpaid item dispute in 10 days and youll get your fees credited because of what some jerkoff did. Chalk it up to the cost of doing business and move on. Its happened to me a dozen times. No sense getting worked up over it.

What are you going to do? Spend your time and money pursuing someone you dont know, have no info on and who probably is a kid messing around?? Im sure you have better things to do.


Vent your frustrations to us and move on.

 

They probably do (and not just them).

According to a friend in the FBI, my info has been out there for a long time. All of YOUR info is out there too!

Since I was burglarized in April ALL accounts have been closed and changed with security alerts and passwords.

All personal information is flagged with all credit agencies.

I have 24 hour monitoring on all accounts and credit.

Let 'em try........................................

 

eBay's CEO is a woman, and has been since the founder turned over the reigns something like 8 years back.

 

Let's say that Ebay did in fact go after the original bidder and bind him to the contract - that might take a while - and during that time you'd be bound to hold the item to sell to the bidder. Don't forget that you are also bound to sell it to the bidder.

It seems to me that it is in YOUR favor for the contract to not be binding when in fact the bidder doesn't have the intent to pay. You could spend months waiting for the legal process to extract the money from the person, and during that time you could have sold the item to someone else.
