Has anyone else noticed how many deceptive listing are on Ebay now?

My first post to the Ebay community. I apologize if I should have done more research before posting. I've always tried to make Ebay my first choice over Amazon for most of my small purchases. But I can't help but notice that sellers seem to offer way...

Fed up with non payers

I’m fed up with buyers winning an auction and then never paying. It’s a complete waste of time. eBay should charge non paying buyers a fee to discourage people from bidding on items they have no intention on paying for.

A couple weeks ago, I got an email that I`ve been charged extra $11 for 2 oz writing pen claiming I used Priority Medium Flat rate I never used (used a bubble poly envelope 9"x6"), but the total weight was 3 oz (still in the up to 4 oz price range, a...

Can a seller in China list an item for sale, state they are in the United States in the listing, then have the item shipped directly to the buyer from a large store in the USA, with probably no possibility of return since the mailing label simply giv...

Buyers cancel orders after a bid is won, I have paid, or they shipped.

I ordered these shoes for the buy now price, and they were shipped the same day. The next night, I get a cancellation notification because the item is “damaged or out of stock” even though the order was already marked as shipped. This has already hap...
