Ebay is a nightmare
When will I learn! Ebay has really gone down hill in recent years. Incomplete auto parts, incompatible parts, wrong parts and just today I received a tool that does not match the description. All this while prices keep going up to where they match or even wildly exceed retail.

eBay isn’t selling anything. eBay doesn’t ship anything. eBay doesn’t set prices for either the items OR the shipping costs.
If you cannot find decent prices on any of the 1.7 BILLION items listed on eBay … then, for sure, buy elsewhere. [I personally have no problem finding a deal on eBay.]

OP2 years agoIn the most recent case, the seller did issue a refund, no problem. The problem is,that when I purchase auto parts or tools on ebay, it is because I need them. When there is a problem, it wastes my time. Further, as the price of items increases, I am visiting ebay less often, in favor of local brick and mortar stores.
I am sure I am not the only one abandoning ebay; if they want to stay in business ebay needs to find a solution.

There's so many here dropshipping and they have no idea about the items they are selling, then you have all the junk from China.

·2 years ago1. If/when any buyer receives any item from any seller that doesn't match the description, that buyer has 30 days to open an item not as described case.
2. If/when any buyer sees an item listed for a ridiculously high price, all that buyer needs to do is hit that handy back button and look for another item/seller.
