      Live selling and ebay's future...
                                               

      With the addition of live selling, it sort of feels like ebay is splitting into two distinct selling platforms. Not sure what will happen in the future - if this will be beneficial or not - but hopefully the live format will attract more eyes to existing stores, buy it now, and auction listings. What is your experience? Are you seeing more traffic now that live selling is so widely promoted?

      Help and Contact Page Useless
                                                                                                                                                                                                       

      I made two purchases from two different sellers. They said their product was delivered but NO it wasn't or I never received it. I contacted both sellers who were no help at all, so I've been trying to contact eBay. This process is totally impossible! I cannot send an email to report the seller because eBay doesn't have an option for no seller name and won't send it without one. I don't have a name because the purchases are no longer in my purchase history NOR are the sellers showing up in eBay. How do I get a record of the emails between us. How do these things just disappear? I've tried for days to contact eBay but their contact and help page is a joke. Nothing leads to nothing. I've been on an endless circle trying to get this resolved. AI doesn't help it only says the same thing repeatedly. EBAY YOU NEED TO DO BETTER! How can I report these sellers without a name or no longer in my history? I sent a call request to no avail, twice! I've sent an email they offered on their page, finally, to no avail. How do I get a hold of a human at eBay and how can I get my money back? I am so frustrated I could scream! This is unacceptable customer service! We spend our money here we should be able to talk to someone if we come across a problem that your "help" page does not cover! Again, eBay do better and send me my two refunds.

      eBay Live has taken over and changed the eBay experience into a negative, aggresive, tacky marketing campaign.
                       

      Every page of the eBay app is now covered in eBay live links and the Homepage runs videos of aggressive people selling things at stupidly cheap prices which is denigrating the whole experience. It is marketing on an aggressive and violent scale with imagery and styling that is like horror movies or lewd films - and you cannot avoid it and cannot stop the videos running covering your whole My eBay screen and if you accidently select a link when scrolling past you are at immediate risk of clicking a buy it now on something you did not want. Very very bad and has ruined the eBay experience.

      ebay Live replays not available
               

      Anyone else having issues replaying any events/shows? I've tried everything. I did not make a purchase during the live stream and its not available in my recent purchases. The streamer had to end the event due to not selling any listings/slots and hosted the event on the following day and I did not make another purchase so unable to review the replay. Any ideas anyone? Got with ebay customer service and they "escalated" my request.

      eBay Live Auctions
               

      I somehow am on the emailing list of a couple coin dealers. Out of curiosity I viewed some of the online auctions. Mostly I see people overpaying for items. My question though is how to know if it is real and not playbacks.

      Seller Canceling Auctions After Winning Bids: What Can Buyers Do?
                                                                                                                                                       

      I recently won an auction on a live stream, only to have the seller cancel the transaction and issue a refund, claiming the card was worth more than the final bid. This felt unfair as I was not at fault for their oversight. What measures can buyers take to ensure sellers honor auction sales, especially when there's no apparent way to contest the seller's decision once a refund is issued? Can community members share their experiences or offer advice on potential actions or policies that could protect buyers in such situations? I have clear proof from the seller stating "this card was sold at a significantly lower price then the market value" but when I tried negotiating on the price, the seller would not budge and I ultimately paid for what they were asking for.
