Gold Peak Hardware Cloth
I have a concern about Gold Peak Galvanized Hardware Cloth listings. The title and the description on many of the listings don't match. The title will say 100ft and in the description it will say the size is a 50ft roll. We got deceived by this, but we were fortunate enough to disclose the violation of policy. However, there are several listings doing this. I

Can I Trust DHL Tracking Information
I ordered an item from US seller with shipping via DHL. I try not to buy from US sellers but I could not pass up this deal ... $6.50 US to ship with tracking to me in Canada. The most current update on their tracking is dated July 7th and indicates it i EN ROUTE TO DHL ECOMMERCE OR AWAITING PROCESSING. If this is correct, the item has not left or even been received from the shipper during the last 5 days. The estimated delivery by eBay states Aug 4, which is Ok. Can I believe the info given to me by DHL and assume that I may a problem with this transaction? Thanks

Can I turn off offers that I receive on items that I have looked at but not watched ?
I don't get emails thankfully but when I login there are notifications about offers for items that I just looked at. Is there a way to turn this feature off. I understand for things that i am watching and interested in but not just looked at the page. Thanks in advance.

SELLER USED WRONG ADDRESS BUT EBAY REFUSED REFUND
SELLER USED WRONG ADDRESS BUT EBAY REFUSED REFUND. I ordered an item on eBay. The seller put the wrong address on the package and it was delivered to the wrong address. I filed a complaint with eBay but they closed it because there was proof of delivery. I am very disappointed with eBay. There is no one to contact at eBay except AI bots that hang up on you. Has anyone else had this issue. What do I do? Thank You.

Tax being charged on Silver Bullion
Just a heads up to Wisconsin Buyers of Silver Bullion. eBay has started charging tax on silver purchases. I have had to get a refund twice now and they keep saying it is the category sellers post their product in. I have added silver from different sellers in my cart and tax is charged on all of them even though silver is tax exempt in Wisconsin. Not sure if this is happening in other tax exempt states. This was not the case a couple months ago. I wonâ€™t be buying until it is resolved.

WALMART Bagged Items shipped by AMBIENT
The intent of this post is a PSA for buyers. Ask the seller if your item will be packed in a box or plastic bag. Ask the seller who will be the shipper. Ask the seller where your item is located. I tried to purchase a "Pack of 4". 3 Items arrived in a WALMART bag. The seller requested that I "close the case" to receive a partial refund for the missing item. I requested to get what I purchased, send the missing item, to close the case. I received a full refund as the seller WOULDN'T send the missing item.

Item Cancellation
I bought a phone for £2,000, paid the seller by PayPal credit. Long story short...asked to cancel the sale, the seller agreed, I have had a refund from Paypal But is the money taken from the seller?...did they ever even get the money as the item wasn't sent?....they had promoted their item and Ebay indicated they would be liable for the promotional charges?...(so the seller tells me?)

Mailman FOLDED my vinyl record to fit it in the mailbox!
I bought a vinyl record, it was shipped in a record box with extra packing. The post office FOLDED it to get it in my mailbox, and it is ruined. Of course its not insured since it is media mail, what can I do? It's only worth $20 total, but still I am LIVID at the driver who did this. Normally a record box fits fine in my huge rural sized mailbox, but there was another package he put in first, and to shut the lid, he literally had to fold it 90 degrees.

Sales tax improperly charged

In this case, I am a buyer. I was charged sales tax on items that are exempt. Specifically, Silver bullion in Virginia. How do I get a refund?

NEED A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON ASAP TO DEAL WITH A MAJOR EBAY PURCHASE ISSUE...
Does anyone have an actual phone number to reach a human and not "AI'?? I hate the fact eBay is so hard to get a hold of a human to help resolve a seller issue when the seller is not from the US!! If anyone could please send me a customer service number to a human, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!

Red Flags (Instant Walk‑Away)
Seller says “price firm, no questions” These are universal scam signals. How will E bay protect buyers when the vin # etc can't be verified.
