Too many unscrupulous sellers in China

We used to bid on many items from Chinese sellers...not any longer. I contend that they are bidding their retail prices at the time their items become actively listed. It just seems a bit strange that every single item opens with a bid and that you c...

Shill Bidding

Why is eBay so skeptical of tips about sellers who are using other accounts to shill bid their own auctions. This seller either has a large number of items that are completely identical and never leaves feedback to the lucky newbies who are buying mo...

The Picture Shows 2 and You Only Get 1

Can you imagine buying a pair of socks and they only send you one? There are a lot of listings where the picture is not an accurate representation of what you are getting. Why isn’t something done to help fix this problem? Sometimes you need to read ...

Seller was lying about shipping date and got feedback removed

Hello, there. I had purchased some skincare products and kindly asked if he could ship my items on a specific day. He agreed with me. Then on that day, he marked my items as shipped on ebay and provided a tracking number. When I tried to tracked my i...
