Ebay, does anyone feel the same ??

[ian parker]

Long story short, last two days, two lots of neg feedback, I sell a shirt for a £1.00, four weeks down the line, no payment, he lies about "sent cheques" i give neg feedback, emails him, tells him not to bother, a cheque arrives. i duly send the shirt on, i email him, he,s happy, four weeks later he gives out a load of lies, then today, a guy who never paid £5.80 two months ago, gives neg again claiming i received his cheque, i,ve emailed ebay, suggesting, please check my bank acc, for his cheque clearence, and cheque his bank acc for my name against £5.80 !!!!!! its really P-SSED my off today, what do you guys think, any similiar experiences ???

I'm 20 mins away from selling an expensive watch on Ebay. I had to relist it after the first time went all to ****. The winning bidder never responded to my emails/invoice, and two runners up didn't want to buy. There was also a bunch of retracted bids with just a few hours to go. I was confused!

I eventually sussed them out.......other people with their own auctions will bid on other similar items to bulk the price up making their own auction seem better deal. They'll bid, bid, bid then at the end retract everything.

This time I posted in red writing a warning that I'd get the law/Ebay involved if I suspected fraud again.

If the winning bidder don't buy this time I'll hit the roof!

Update:- Winning bidder for my watch came through good....paid already!

have never had a problem selling or buying! Have now made about 500 transactions. Quite the contrary, some eMail penfriendships have developed. I've sold and bought from America to Australia using english, german and french bank accounts.

The only inconvenience is sometimes in UK when people don't accept PayPal, bank transfers or credit cards and then it's down to paper cheques in the post.

I wouldn,t mind but it was a £90 Moshino shirt !!, sold for a quid !! i would have been better throwing it in the bin, lol

My dad ebay's a bit.......recently he found a load of old 78rpm records.....orchestral stuff.......sold the job lot for 70 quid.
The buyer emails my dad and says he might fly up from down south to collect.......my dad now thinks "what have I let go?".....................

Up to now not had any problems with ebay

[anddon]

only ever had bad feedback twice and that was for the same item, my boys 50cc scrambler. it sold twice. the first guy arranged to come and get it and then phoned to say his boiler had packed in and he had to put off buying it, yeah right. then the second time it sold and there was no contact to be had with the buyer at all, then the cheeky feckers gave me neg feedback first, even though my phone number was in the ad. So nobs out there peeps

At least 15% of the general population anywhere are crooks. Why does anyone expect eBay honesty to be at 100% levels?

In actual fact, eBay levels of honesty and blokes actually turning up to buy or look at things advertised is probably x-times better than the old small ads in the local rag and also a lot cheaper and more comfortable.

I reckon that eBay fraud levels are WAY below national averages for all forms of transaction. Start knocking eBay too much and some Eurocrat will get the great idea to "regulate" (=ban) eBay and then we'll all be back in the dark ages.

In the meantime, go to your local Saturday market and buy some genuine original CD's and Videos and compare the rip-offs and con-artists with eBay!
