I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, Ive only posted on the Ebay forums once before. I was looking for a used computer and Id seen some auctions which advertised this "extended warranty through Squaretrade." Seems like a good deal, relatively cheap, but is it worth it? The seller I bought from wasnt registered with Squaretrade, but when I input the aution number at Squaretrade it showed the item I bought and gave me a price. I'd like the warranty for some peace of mind, but how...

Am I in the right place for this? Please redirect me if needed – thanks! I'm frustrated with a seller’s reaction to my concerns that her item is not in “pre-owned good condition” as stated in her auction. Could tell me if I'm expecting too much? Item in question is: 220506304776 The listing simply states “pre-owned good condition” and in the pictures the pants look great; no visible flaws, so I expect basic wash wear and light fade. When I received the item, immediately I notice the...

I need help... I've been selling on Ebay since 1992. 100% positive feedback and Top Seller Status. I recently sold a $90.00 curling iron to a buyer with free shipping. They received it and emailed saying it was defective. They claimed it was shutting off after only a couple of minutes. I was shocked because I have sold over 50 of these in the past 6 months with not one complaint. I told him to return the item & I would ship out another one. I completely tested a new one before...

I was wondering how long I should wait on an Item? I Bought it now and paid on the 30th. On the 11th I emailed the seller and asked about the Item since it was still not marked as sent. They said It was returned due to insufficient postage. Offered a refund or to resend Item. I really want the item so I said to resend I can wait a little longer. Just wondering how much longer I should wait to contact them again. Since I only have 45 days to file? I don't want to seem troublesome. Don't make me...

Hi! I am bidding on these beautiful Converse shoes. They are women's size 7.5 and they are a pretty pink, like the breast cancer pink that you see every where. The problem is, they are brand new, but not in the box, and I found another pair that is a different color that I like more. So I need someone who wants a gorgeous pair of shoes to out bid me. Hurry! There's only 54 minutes left!

Hi All. This is my first time posting. I have a problem that I need to run by some experienced Ebay buyers. I purchased an apple laptop from a 100% seller. Communication has been fairly good. After contacting the seller about the shipment status he told me it was on the way less the extra battery that was stated in the auction. He gave the excuse that the extra battery was used for another laptop. I requested a 50.00 refund not the 25.00 he wanted to give me. He also told me that 2nd day...

I know paypal offer claims when an item is not received but what if Its not as described /not what you expected ? I'm trying to get a hold of the seller who no longer has a ebay account but they will not respond. I decided to open a dispute on the 9th but it doesn't say anything about how long seller has to respond or claims . Thank You !

A seller filed an unpaid claim against me on an item I don't remember ever bidding on. I just noticed an e-mail from ebay yesterday and I tried contacting the seller, but they're not responding. After trying to contact them, I saw in my spam box in my e-mail, that Blizzard had e-mailed me, stating that I was "trying to sell my WoW account". After this e-mail, I tried logging into my world of warcraft account and someone had hacked it. I ran a virus scan and found a key logger trojan and I...

I was offered a second chance auction for an item I didn't win about a more than a month back. The reason was that the winner had not paid for the auction. I accepted the terms of the Second Chance Offer. I recieved an email stating I had won, and a few hours later I recieved an email from the seller saying that the original winner had now decided they wanted to pay for the item and I should just forget about buying it. As I wanted the item, I emailed the seller saying it was unfortunate that...

I purchased a item last week and the seller required payment right away but has yet to ship the item. Why do sellers do this? The buyer did what they were suppose to do. Do these sellers not understand that just maybe a person needs a item in a reasonable amount of time? Why do they wait days to ship the item? Why can't a buyer require immediate shipment required? Just think if the item is a part for a snack food packing machine? I guess they get the money and forget the seller. Ebay...

270486906725 The $7.75 seems kind of high, but I'm not against a handling charge. Then at the bottom she charges for ins and charges an extra $3.00 if you live somewhere else? Isn't posted shipping all she can charge?

(re-posted from seller central) I just tried printing a label from within MyEbay for the first time today. Went pretty smooth. My question is about what the customer receives as far as a confirmation email. What I received was, an email from ebay @ ebay . com, with the subject "Your USPS shipping label has been created for (title of listing)" with the following information: Dear (my user ID), You successfully created a U.S. Postal Service shipping label on eBay for the item listed...

Many sellers leave the default condition of "Acceptable" as a matter of course, describing their goods as "like new" or "mint" in the description section below. How does Paypal interpret this two-grades situation in SNAD cases? Are those Ebay codes, above the description section, disregarded by Paypal's dispute resolution? Just wondering so I can bid, or not bid, appropriately.

...what do I do now? Most of my transactions have been happy ones, so I guess I was due! Auction # is 230289595713. I paid for the item through Paypal at the end of Oct., and item should have arrived by now. No word from Seller. I have contacted them via the email provided in Paypal, but have heard nothing back yet. Most frustrating was eBay wiping out all info on this auction. How in heck am I supposed to contact the Seller when you've taken all contact info? I can't even see if they...

Lately i have been scammed with no shipping sellers.Maybe it did not bring enough money for their expectations but I would like to see something done.If you do not reply,ship or basically do anything this person should not be able to sell or buy on e-bay for a length of time.What do you think?I have not had any problems being refunded through e-bay or paypal but I think there should be some punishment for this type of activity.I am sick of this!

I won an item on October 31st. I paid for the item promptly. The seller sent me the tracking number that same day. On the 10th, the seller informed me that the package was sent back with insufficient postage and that they would send me $20 credit. I have requested a new tracking number on the 11th but the sender will not respond to any of my inquiries. Also, there is no $20 credit on my PayPal account. Does anyone have a recommendation on when I should open a PayPal dispute?...
