How long until refunded?

I bid on and won a moderately pricy item a couple weeks ago. I waited almost a week before I realized that it had never been shipped. I sent the seller a message asking when it would be shipped and got no response. I opened a request as soon as it le...

Search function showing unrelated listings

What's up with the search function & was it changed within the last day or two? Seems like my searches are now clogged up with nothing relevant to what was put in the search bar. Extremely aggravating trying to navigate through all those listings in ...

customer service

I plan on buying from Ebay as little as posible in the future. Ebay has no way to reach a real person when there is a problem. I guess it is true Amazon is going to rule the world of online purchacing. This is sad Ebay was so good in the past, now it...

Cancelling an order with an authenticity guarantee?

I purchased an "authenticity guaranteed" item from a seller almost two weeks ago. However, the shipping status hasn't changed from "label created". I asked the seller, and they said they shipped it on the 30th. I told them to check with the carrier t...

Resolved! Misuse of best offer

Offered $52 on a $60 or best offer baseball card. Seller countered with $135. Is that allowed? Then he sends a message taunting me he can do whatever he wants it’s his card with some immature emojis. Reported it to eBay but can’t find any info on bes...

eBay app “NO EXACT MATCHES”

On 2/3/23 the eBay app spontaneously started to tell me I have no exact matches, which is nonsense. I uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted my phone. Anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix this?

I noticed since last night I'm no longer able to buy virtually anything on eBay, everything says it can't be shipped to Quebec. Is this because of our insane French language laws that ban virtually everything that isn't in French or is it a temporary...

I am trying to get my purchase history from 1996 to present. I have requested it several times and I get at list that ends at 2001. I have specially requested 1996 to 2001 and they don't send it. That is the time I am most interested in. What else ca...

How to tell if someone is a Fraudulent seller?

I was just wondering what are some tell tale signs that someone is a fraudulent seller? Or scammer. I choose to protect my personal information from public sites because the majority of these sites have been breached compromised before. Which I get m...

offer on item not registered in system

I made an offer the other day on a wallet. Later I checked on the offer and I couldn't find any record of it. I assumed it was my mistake and that maybe I hadn't made a final and necessary click. I tried to find the item again to once again make an o...

Being Ripped Off for $15K Sucks, And eBay Enabled It

Seller sends $14,700 worth of electronics via DHL. DHL without authorization leaves the package in my building's parking lot, and of course it's stolen. I get that this part was not eBay or the seller's fault. But DHL is adamant with me repeatedly th...

Sellers cancelling orders saying "buyer requested" or "problem with address" to avoid defects

1) I would like to know if MY ACCOUNT is affected in any way by these cancellations. I've had several of these in the last week out of 40 purchases for my business. 2) I would like to leave appropriate feedback. I understand stuff happens, but I didn...
