eBay Is Robbing Its Customers Via Microdeposits

[mshav94]

Hello.

I recently noticed something strange. When eBay needed to reconfirm my banking information via microdeposits, they deposited a total of $0.08 and then made a withdrawal of $0.09. So, unless I’m missing something, eBay just stole $0.01 from me without my consent.

”Why does that matter? It’s just $0.01…”

Imagine how many customers eBay does this for. It adds up. It’s not about my $0.01, is about how much total money they can steal from all of us.

A quick browse through several posts here showed me that other people have noticed this same discrepancy while verifying their bank information. If you have been affected by this, please let me know how much they took from you below. I am gathering information for a class action lawsuit.

eBay, if you’d like to address this here, I would encourage you to do so.

They definitely skim a penny from every transaction. Their math doesn’t math

I am no genius and this thread probably needs to be closed but I am willing to bet that .01 ends up dropped off when it is all said and done, it is not uncommon for debits to be initially one amount and then balance out to the correct amount when it is all said and done.

so if you suspect ebay stole a penny, check you balance before the deposit's happened and then again 3-5 business days later after the debit's happened.
