Filed under: Auctions Online
Look up a list of Ebay acquisitions online. You’ll see that they are acquiring all of their competitors and payment gateways! The are getting money both ways. And to top it off they are holding funds AND charging for final value fees while a transaction is in dispute. Both PayPal and ebay hold the sellers money while the buyer still has the goods! It takes up to 30 days to resolve a dispute. Meanwhile, ebay an paypal has used your money to make more money and buy more competitors!
You remind me of Tommy mottola for some reason…(Mariah careys Ex husband).
QUIT EBAY i just day for those reasons!
i got scammed on ebay they stole 300$ from me
IV NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FEEDBACK BUT THE FEES………. HELL NO!!
As a part time ebay seller, I’ve seen the other side, and realize the feedback and especially the star ratings are completely unreliable. Paypal and packaging costs heaps, On the bright side, many people appreciate the extra care taken to post their items even at high cost. Almost all my buyers lately don’t want to pay via paypal. they don’t want ebay to get it!
@lilgrlkissesnhugs LOL! “Shitbay”. I’ve never used Ebay, thank you for your comment. I almost decided to sell some of my stuff on there and then I saw all the fees to use it. It’s ridiculous. I’ve used Amazon for 5 years and I still love it. I’m never switching.
I just got robbed by Paypal today! This DEADBEAT loser (ebay name stkwireless) bought not one but TWO 32″ flatscreen televisions from me. AFTER I shipped them out he emails me saying, “I ordered the wrong model…sorry about that! I’m just going to refuse the delivery.” I told him sorry, but I do not accept returns, as stated in my eBay ad. That motherfucker refused the packages so I was charged not only for the original shipping but return shipping too–$154. Paypal sided with him!!!!!
eBay buyers can leave shit feedback for buyers. I just found a site that allows and explains how to post neg feedback to a buyers account and even a url. Its located at: shisters (dot) com (shisters.com)
okay this is it! we need to get together people! is the only way to stop eBay and PayPal (SAME COMPANY ANYWAY) from riping us all, apparently the government don’t want to shut these thefts from the trick of freeze our account and the monopoly that eBay can only accept PayPal payment, please contact me and let make a chain between all of us that this thefts have been abusing us, even if we have to go to congress!!!!! LET STOP THEM
Ebay has made the buyer “God” with a license to kill. Many a good seller has been crushed by a single bad buyer. The seller is ebay’s bread and butter… NOT the buyer… I don’t get it. The seller DSR and feed-back system, is a joke! The delusional Jon Donahoe refuses to see the error of his ways, and the carnage of his poor decisions. I don’t know how long ebay can continue to shoot itself in the foot, and still operate.
I agree wth all of your points- GreedBay has gotten out of control – Their Paypal requirement is downright criminal.
I now sell many items on Craigslist and on Yahoo groups for free.
A low cost site for selling used furniture is Etsy.com
Ebay sucks dirty donkey dicks…but what is the alternative? They know they are the only sight that gets results so they have us by the balls. I’m still 100% after 3000+ sales but the fees are just getting to high. Might close out this month.
EBAY SUCKS BOOCOO.COM
I was a top seller on ebay for years…But one day Paypal decided to hold every payment I had for 5 months with NO explanation ( actually everytime I would call them and ask them why I got another bullshit excuse) So thanks to paypal I quit ebay after 9 years and switched to selling on amazon….at least with Amazon I KNOW when my payment will be in MY account….FUCK EBAY AND FUCK PAYPAL IN THEIR ASS WITH A HARD BLUE VAINED THROBBING DEMON COCK
Soooooo basically what everyone that’s commenting is trying to say is that Ebay frickin’ sucks.
Hi, I use a new site called Big Value Depot. They give me 5 free listings, and don’t charge a final value fee. I quit ebay as this one is so much better.
just caught ebay trying to steal 26 quid from my account in “fees” when infact they owe me a refund of my FVF of over 80quid …on the phone for a half hour …they admit they don’t know how &,promised to call back and still waiting to hear back 2 days later ebay/paypal…CONMEN
the only thing i hate from ebay-paypal is that paypal take too much time to register added funds and some shipping rates from ebay are crazy,
Ebay has you by the balls becuse they know they are the only sight that things actually sell. The other auction sights get no results. I I’ve only had a couple assholes in over 4000 sales & just quickly returned their money to be free of them. I’ve never had a negative feedback in 6 years of selling.
it’s funny how automated PayPal/eBay responses may take as long as a human’s response. they try to make their messages seem legit by doing this. i don’t understand either PayPal or eBay sometimes…
i just sold a fucking item for $60.99, SHIPPING, PAYPAL, EBAY… total of 21.9% of my fucking money gone. this is fucking unbelievable. eBay fees are off the fucking charts, PayPal isn’t too bad but all they need to do is sit back and let their computers process this shit which costs them $0.00, eBay doesn’t have to do fucking fuck besides have their computers process it ( besides their co-workers ) it’s so fucking pathetic, but hey, better than a garage sale. S/H is fair.
