@themayqueen,
"Ebay says they have removed all the huge number of fake Unpaid Items it generated on my account for 3 items, but who knows for sure if they are all off."
If you do not have problems buying from other sellers like being blocked. Then the unpaid item strikes are gone. Most sellers have a Buyer requirement set up that automatically blocks Buyers who: Have 2 unpaid item strikes in the last 12 months.
If you run into a block because of that, then contact CS again and get them removed. There's really nothing to stress about.
"I reported all of it to BBB but it still went on and the seller is still selling... So he stopped shipping to usa. His listings now say he won't. He should not be allowed to have his listings on ebay USA since he does not ship here now".
The BBB has no power to get ebay to remove items from the site. eBay is leaving the items on the site because many members buyers and sellers from different countries use the U.S. based site ebay.com to get world wide exposure. If the seller is shipping to other countries, their items will be viewed by everyone, but only those in countries they ship to can buy/pay for them.
"... I tried to pay but ebay will not let me pay at checkout because they say in red text, "seller doesn't ship to your country" so ebay will not allow me to pay it. They told me to change my address! Now, they are sending me an Unpaid Item claim!.. And leaves me to get Unpaid item claim from ebay."
Are you sure an unpaid item dispute has been opened, or are you getting messages that say "you need to pay for these items or a dispute could be opened". Only a seller can open a dispute, eBay cannot, and if one does get opened all you have to do is respond saying seller no longer ships to my country, so I cannot pay. The case will be closed without you being sanctioned in any way.
You replied to armyairforce4 who wrote "Do you check a seller's feedback before or after you purchase? Based on your feedback left, you seem to have problems with many sellers" saying;
"yes i do. but i buy cheap stuff from overseas usually, so that will sometimes have problems from sellers."
If you are filing disputes for half of those items you've left non-positive feedback for, you will probably be limited in the number of disputes you can file in the future, and possibly lose your buyer protections for awhile or all together. You could avoid at least half of your issues by taking the time to check profiles before buying from sellers and clicking on the numbers of non-positives to read only those comments.
Continuing to keep buying from foreign sellers listing cheap, low quality goods is more of a waste of time and stressful than doing your due diligence and having more successful transactions.
If you do not check feedback profiles before buying then you are self defeating the purpose of there being feedback profiles. While you are entitled to leave non-positive feedback for transactions. The number you have left may come back to bite you, if a seller who you make an offer to, or whose item you bid on, checks your profile you could find bids cancelled or offers refused, and they would likely block you as well.
"I buy a lot of stuff, i don't leave feedback for most of it. Would take far too long".
I've bought a lot more things than you, and have always found time to leave feedback. You use a lot of one word comments and since they are auto-filled when you type the first letter leaving them doesn't take that much time. You can skip the star ratings if you want. Doing that might space out the non-positives you leave. Doing that certainly takes less time than opening disputes and writing long missive topics and replies.
