All of a sudden it takes 14 days to get a book. Did I slip into a time machine back to the 70's?

Honestly, is this the result of DeJoy promising to 'slow the mail'? Congratulations! You succeeded! If it is for some other reason, can someone tell me if eBay changed shipping policies?

How does a SELLER could cancel an order under "SELLER REQUEST" - eBay support scam

I won an auction, paid for the item. The seller did not ship. Now the order was cancelled by the "buyer", but I didn't. How could a SELLER do this? And the order's status is now cancellation is pending! What should I do now? How long should I wait fo...

Ebay Not Policing It Self

Since Ebay won't police itself, no matter what it says, I had to track down the seller's real name, which I did and the city he's doing business from. I was partially successful and informed the State AG, city attorney, and one other agency because h...

Seller Did Not Refund Sales Tax on Defective Item Return

I bid on an item a few times. Another bidder and I went back and forth a few times and then a 3rd bidder became the high bidder so I stopped. This was 3 days before the auction ended. Nobody else bid and 2 minutes before the auction ended the 3rd bid...

Hi,I'm interested from buying a tool from a seller for a really good price but I'm worried it's a scam. They have 100% positive feedback but it just seems odd to me that their profile says they are in Canada and their ship from location is in New Jer...

I haven't received an eBay Bucks offer in over 2 months. Anyone else?

I usually receive an eBay Bucks offer once a month, but now I haven't received one in over two months. I wondered if eBay is not doing the once-a-month thing anymore, or is it just me?

Informed buying choices
