I HATE EBAY

[Shdwknt]

I remember why I stopped selling with them.

Not only do they now charge fee's for collecting the postage to ship.. but they want me to refund the buyer his shipping fees because HE is unsatisfied with an open item..

GET THE ******* OUT OF HERE..

The moment the auctions I have listed end Im closing my account and that can go screw themselves.. I am SO over ebay and their ridiculousness -- SELLERS PAY THEIR BILLS yet they continue to screw sellers.

eBay and scammers own your azz on eBay as a seller.

good luck with the sale. even if you say no, you are liable for it for 6 months AFTER the auction ends on eBay. it's really bad now, and has been for the last 3 years...and you can't even warn others. eBay has become a mockery for people-to-people sales.

now go checkout your potential issues with paypal. who can, and will lock up your bank account (and take money out of it) for no valid reason except a simple complaint.

I'm not bitter...I have not had an issue with paypal personally, but I also keep 6 bucks in my verified account. I have read their conditions and found forums where a seller lost a truckload of money without due reason, or even getting an item returned...

I have 6 valid accounts (and 12 questionable accounts...), so I just bounce around any of eBay's pathetic loopholes.

It was bad before but it is by far worse now..

Like I said..

They charge ME a fee to us the USPS?! Like wait what? You are charging fees based on the cost of shipping dictated by the usps?!?!
and then if the person doesnt want the item i need to refund a service that I DONT PROVIDE?! Is the usps going to give me back my money?! NOPE.. so why the f*** would i refund the fee. the item shipped - the user is being a t**T waffle and you want me to cover those cost too?! -- Its your 'money back guarentee' you cover the cost..

eat my *** with a plastic spoon!!

and then the buyer is like.. I will keep it for 1/2 the cost of the item.. HAHAHAHA SUCK IT. 
ship it back and I will eat the $20 in postage before I eat $50 and loose 2 products

This happens to me more often than not. People are constantly trying to get the product for less than they agreed to pay.

I had a good eBay story from a few weeks ago.

- Few months ago I buy an Android/Windows 10 hybrid Tablet from China
- I buy a keyboard add-on for it from eBay
- It's not compatible, apparently there are small revisions in each model and the black keyboard will not work with the silver tablet (that I have)
- I didn't want to dick the seller since it was ultimately my fault so I just relist it with a HUGE warning saying THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH THE SILVER VERSION
- Guy Buys it.. 5 days later..

Return opened:   Aug-22-17 08:29:20 PDT
Return shipping:   buyer pays
Return reason:   Doesn't fit(for example: clothing)
Comments:   It doesn t fit on my Chuwi Hi10 H64G42170603985. Send me the appropriate one or refund the money.

I ask the guy what color is tablet?

Silver.

Did you not read the HUGE warning on ad?

No sorry missed it, still want return.

OK.. but you have to pay shipping back and I'm not refunding the original shipping. So it will actually cost you more to return it than if you just keep it. Also explain how I did the same thing and just relisted it.

Was expecting an escalation got this back:



Sometimes it works out. That said I do put 'no returns' on my items and ebay gave me the option to deny return request.. but I assume they can cry and get around that.

Last time this happened somebody bought a ST-V Die Hard cart from me.. he bought it and said it didn't work right.. did the refund tested the board.. it's fine? 2 days later he starts asking questions about the ST-V main board I also had so I just blocked him from bidding.

paying fees on shipping charges is shitty.
iv tried to list things cheap, and ebay says " you must have comparable pricing" WTF i wanna list cheap so it sells fast
if the buyer can print the return shipping label out, then the money will be pulled out of the sellers account to pay for said return shipping.
give me the chance and i would pound the ceo's head in

ya and now the buyer is like.. I can just keep them and you pay me back 1/2 off all the cost including shipping.. I laughed I said if you didnt want it combined (like I DONT OFFER) I wouldnt have had to use such a huge box that cost you so much to ship in the first place..

SO send it back because the shipping cost is cheaper than you trying to scam me and I get my product back.. also if anything is different from the photos I listed when I get it back I am claiming you stole/broke it and opening a rebutle claim with ebay.
 
Best part is - I am refusing to send the label and ebay is stating they are going to take a label out of my account funds - but they are quoting $2.00 for the label.. hahahah its a $16 box.. I cant wait until ebay provides him a label that is $2 and he has to pay the difference or bitch about it.. Im not giving this guy a single dollar any sooner then needs to be.

Totally agree and I have been blasting ebay on thier facebook for allowing buyers to extort sellers for 2 days - waiting to get banned from their page next

People were listing $50 items at 10 cents plus $49.99 shipping to get around paying any fees so eBay adapted
