How can someone get a perons email address if they bid on an item if the bidderis blocked plus what your bid was. My sister bid on an item did not win, recieved an email, not thru ebay for second chance offer. This was not from seller, but a third person trying to scam her. She has never bought under her user name nor email anuone nor ask a qusestion, so how it it possible, My thoughts is someone connected to ebay must be doing it or giving out info on people or someone has somehow hacked into...

I thought there was a rule against listing stuff in the wrong category? When I try to find listings that are (for example) "Cameras" and I have to wade through Cameras AND Accessories AND other Junk, it just turns me off to the whole eBay experience. Is there a way to flag this crap or otherwise fight this listing pollution? .

I've been noticing a trend, fewer auctions and many more fixed price buy it now's. I do use the buy it now from time to time but lately NO WAY! Too pricey! A long time ago one could get bargains of 50% or more off store prices on Ebay. Now it seems the reverse is true as now I'm seeing items listed with fixed price buy it now running 150% to 200% above brick and mortar shelf prices. So 1. Are people really buying this stuff? At these prices??? 2.If yes then Why? Do they think because...

How frustrating - international seller (100% feedback) requires immediate payment, so I Buy It Now and pay for it, next morning EBay cancels the item due to whatever reasons and actually cancels all listings for that seller. I filed a claim with Paypal and now just have to wait. I just hope I didn't loose $95.00. Just a waiting game now..Do claims usually work? Thank you!

There is a specific range of items I am bidding on, and almost every blasted time I find the same buyer(s) seems to hunt down bids I have placed. I have seen at times the "PRIVATE" notation next to the ID. Not all of us can afford to drop, by my estimation $100-200 per week on purchases here. Here is my point-I have made bids that were reasonable, sometimes a stretch, as I have a hard budget. If E-BAY is just going to be a "private buyers club" for an select group of buyers, what good is this?...

Hi: I am Interested on two Items and I want two bid on them. However, when I click on the Item details page the "place bid" option does not appear. Only the option "buy it now" appears. I verified that my internet browser (IE7) is set to allow cookies. Any help on this matter will be appreciated.

Hey, anyone know why eBay wouldn't just say that every bid near the end of an auction extends it by two minutes? Or even 60 seconds? Buyers would make more money, so eBay would make more money. Snipers would have to spend more money to win, and the people who really want stuff could drive prices higher. I know why snipers don't want to see this - they want to save money by bidding in the last three seconds. But snipers don't pay the bills, do they? Sellers don't like sniping. Buyers who...

Hi y'all. I am mad, really mad. What the heck is going on with eBay's protection for buyers whose goods are not received?????? 3 weeks ago I bought a coat on US eBay. Seller had a good reputation and I paid immediately with paypal funded by a credit card. Time goes by and no coat appears. I contact the seller to ask what day it was shipped cos things normally only take 8-9 days to reach here ( in Oz) Seller says shipped 3 days after purchase and I have no reason to disbelieve her. I...

I bid on a gift card without checking the shipping and handling. I should have read closer before bidding. Is the seller allowed to charged $75.44 to ship a gift card first class mail? They wrote this in the listing: "Due to Ebay's recent policy of forcing you to have a free listing with a ridiculously high final value fee, I am incorporating the minimum sale price into the shipping and handling cost." Is it possible to cancel my bid?

On the auction it sell it doesn't state payment accepted but tells you to check its me page for terms of auction which I didn't see at the time of bidding. How many really read everything other than shipping and curent bid a breif discription of item anyway in me page states only aceots credit cards only no debit cards. I don't have any credit cards and don't want any I do have debit cards but he says no debit cards period. So If can't meet sellers demands can I and should I retract my bid?

Hi, This is the first time I have come to this board. I won an item last night (under another ID) at the very low start bid. I have not received an invoice or anything from the seller (in China) to acknowledge the sale. Also, I have not received any messages from ebay in my message box or my personal email saying "congrats you won this item". Nada, nothing - but on the listing page it says "you won this item" and it's in My Ebay under the Won column. So, my question is - should I go ahead...

I listing for an item starting at $29.99. I received a bid for the $29.99 several days ago with 3 days left on the auction. I just got notice that they "cancelled their bid because they said they entered the wrong amount". I thought if you bid on an item it is a binding agreement to purchase that item? She evidently changed her mind.

Recently used the Buy it Now option to purchase two Christmas Wreath Swags from Collections, Inc. but when I try to complete the check out process, their automated site says the items are sold out. Now eBay is reprimanding me for non-payment. I've contacted Collections but have not heard back from them and can find no way to contact eBay to alert them (this problem doesn't fall into one of their item-specific categories) Any suggestions?
