As a seller on ebay I feel I have been cheated. I recently sold a video card for $140, the buyer claims they never got it and now I am out of both the $140 and the video. What really pisses me off is that paypal won't do anything for me because I didn't pay for tracking for the item. I have the receipt from the post office showing that it was shipped, but that's not enough. Since when were we required to pay for tracking for auctions? It is not a standard feature when shipping at a post...

Everytime I try to go on ebay I get this page asking me for all my credit card info. I think it is spoof. I have not been able to get onto my ebay at all for days. What is going on here. Is everyone going to have to submit their credit card to this site to get onto their ebay? This is the address C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\smdata32\Temporary Internet Files\empresa03\index.html

a couple of days ago ebay shut down my listing " 120360754715 " . the only thing I get when I ask why from the trust and safety dept is this canned message. You recently listed the following eBay Stores listing: 120360754715 - Sony Ericsson W580 For AT&T/Cingular GSM Cell Phone The listing was removed because it violated eBay policy. The violation occurred when you included the following information in your listing: warranty offered no terms and conditions present....

Whoa! 9 years on Ebay with NO major problems, till today! Someone, just a few hours ago, had listed an 11 dollar item using my account. It was for some girl's baby clothes. I didn't list them (I haven't sold in a month or so) and no one else has my password. So guys, what do I do? I cancelled the listing and changed my password. Should I notify Ebay of the problem? If so, where? The help pages are kind of convoluted. This has me pretty flipped out. The hijacker even put down the item...

I received a "positive feedback with a negative comment" from a deceptive seller who I posted a negative for selling me a reproduction. Not disclosed in description and not in the reproduction category. Also asked for money order or cashier`s check when auction stated paypal accepted. Please give a link to report this positive/negative so I can have it removed if possible. Thanks

I sold an item, Item Number: 130279726148. I didn't ship my item yet. And the next day I received an email from PayPal saying an unauthorized account activity claim was filed. So I refunded the money. I opened up a case on Ebay to cancel the transaction and get my Final Value Fee back. I closed the case and got my money back. But for the Insertion Fee, I emailed customer service for a refund and they wrote me back, but didn't refund the Insertion Fee. Now here's the problem......

It is impossible to report a non-performing seller (item 310109279789 and others) who returned a PayPal payment. If you use the Resolution Center, it will not accept the report but refers you to PayPal. Paypal will not accept the report because the the payment was returned. If you report using the "non-performing seller" link, it sends your report to the Trust and Safety department of eBay.au, the Australian eBay (this transaction did not involve eBay.au in any way). The seller refused payment...

Looks like if you make reports of other sellers violating eBay policy, the socalled trusted eBay police will remove one your listing for nothing. After making several reports eBay trust and safety removed one of listing in error. It took me 2 hours on the phone for eBay reps to admit there was nothing wrong with my listing. Sure I got a listing credit and after a few days they removed my violation mark, but who pays for the 2 hours of painful phone time I spent fixing the eBay error? Yes -...

A new regulation goes into effect next month banning any item to be used by or on children unless it is certified by a testing lab to conform to CPSA standards. The ban is on clothing, toys, furniture, jewelry, and all items that children may be exposed to. Any existing new items are also banned unless they get certification. Since eBay enforces federal bans is this going to become a problem for us? Link

I purchased a electronic unit knowing it did not work , but after getting the unit I found that the serial numbers had been removed. I sent email back to the seller and ask them what happen to serial numbers they said that they did not know that unit should have them. So I emailed seller back and told them I did not feel comfortable dealing with a unit that would need to be sent out and serviced without serial numbers. Sent several emails for approx. 15 days did not hear from seller until I...

I also sent this buyer $21 refund to send it back to me to cover any shipping costs and inconvenience. I have been waiting for buyer #2 to get back to me when I noticed that she has listed the...

I am a collector of old tins and on Thursday January the 8th I won auction # 320328343640 from a seller in the UK. This old tin was in rough shape but sometimes I am able to restore them. I put in a bid 2 days before the auction was to end. then another bid as the auction closed to ensure I would get it. I was the only bidder and won it for the opening bid of 99 pence. Since the shipping amount was stated in the auction I went ahead and paid through Paypal. An hour or two later the seller...

(my name), if you still can't reach your seller or the seller says he or she won't ship the item to you, please leave...
