Reading most of the posts on this forum, I realise that scams and fraud are simply ignored. I have accepted the loss and learnt a lesson. Rather pay more and buy on Amazon.

"BEST OFFERS" IGNORED !!

It should be a breach of ebay's policies and 'contract' of a seller who advertises for a best offer and then doesn't even acknowledge one !! That seems fraudulent to me. Certainly it is unethical & I won't shop with a seller who does that

Resolved! Bidding on Ebay is a waste of time!

Nothing I will post will come as a surprise. But, DO NOT USE THE BIDDING SYSTEM! Sellers allow private bidders. What that means is that the seller can set up private accounts as a guest to eBay to bid. They do this for high dollar items they want to ...

Filtering shipping costs is a needed improvement

I may be in the minority but "free shipping" and "local pickup" is a poor selection for filtering with shipping. Many countries outside your own can have reasonable OR unreasonable shipping costs (for me, it's cards). Being able to filter out shippin...

Resolved! Seller asked me to open a case for item stuck in customs, but I don't see an option to do that

I ordered something from the UK that is shipping through eBay's "Global Shipping Program" (GSP). It got to Pitney Bowes, which is supposed to ship to the US and was flagged as "undeliverable" (googling tells me this is a common problem with Pitney Bo...

I'm a victim of the fake-tracking number scam as detailed/tracked here by ittybitnot. I have been trying to get UPS to confirm, in writing, that the tracking number I was provided was for somebody else's package entirely. I managed to get both a loca...

So I purchased an item listed as USED, described to be "in good working order", backed by ebay guarantee, this seller has 75% with I think 5 feedbacks. The unit arrived in the strangest packaging I've ever seen, sideways/diagonal and with the armwres...
