eBay

THE SELLER REFUSES TO SHIP MY ITEM OR COMMUNICATE WITH ME. EBAY WILL NOT HELP. THE ITEM I BOUGHT PAID FOR HAS BEEN RE LISTED, AGAIN EBAY DOES NOTHING.

IVE DONE ALL THAT EBAYS SAYS WAIT TIL 22 AUG ORIGINAL DATE 4TH AUG HOW SLOW! YOU CANNOT SPEAK TO ANYONE. THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE LEGAL. BAD BUSINESS! I BUY A LOT, NOT ANYMORE, BUT EBAY DOESN'T CARE. THEY ARE AN AWFUL COMPANY. I'M SURE THEY ARE ALL DEMOCRATS!

First, I am very sorry for your upsetting experience. Let me assure you that we volunteers here in the forum want to help you.

I add a word of caution to this—if your responses are indicative to the above statement, if this is the timbre of your tone when dealing with others, you might find it much harder to get relief. Especially so when the dialogue begins to tip into insults. Ok, that said, we might be able to get you some satisfaction. Need more info:

What is the item #? What is the estimated delivery date? If it is August 22nd, then you have not allowed enough time for shipping. It might seem very long to wait, but what are the shipping terms from the listing?

Or—has the tracking shown delivery confirmation, and the item was stolen or disappeared from your porch? What are the details of why you believe you are being ignored? Did you open a case with eBay?

If contacting eBay doesn’t work, go to your credit card company who you used to buy the item, and open a payment dispute, also called a chargeback. This takes the matter out of the hands of the seller and eBay. Good luck and hope this gets resolved to your benefit.

You are however covered by Ebay's MBG (money back guarantee).
If you don't receive your item, file a case with ebay. They will refund your money.
Unless the seller is a scammer and they ship a trinket to a different address in the same zip. Often those scammers keep relisting the same items over and over as the OP described.
Even if that happens ebay will refund the buyer.
LOL, the fake tracking scam is out of control because ebay does nothing to assist buyers and denies the majority of claims. If the MBG was refunding the victims the scam would be dead, not gaining momentum.
Serious question. I'm not sure of the answer.
If you didn't receive an item to to a tracking scam and lost your INR case,
couldn't you then claim the item you received was a cheap trinket and not what you ordered?
Wouldn't you then win the INAD case and get a refund?

While I totally agree that opening the INAD case is the best way to resolve the FTN scam, that is not what they're telling buyers to do. AMOF many community members have been sent on vacation for even mentioning it, including me.

You don't win a Not As Described case by just claiming it was a cheap trinket. Once you file the case, the seller has to respond. Their choice is to refund without requiring the return, or to ask to have the item back first, in which case they have to pay for a Return label.

Obviously, if this is indeed a trinket scam, where they sent some piece of junk to another address within your ZIP code, then you would technically not have anything to return (which is, after all, their plan from the beginning). Similarly, I would technically not be able to tell you to stick something in a padded envelope and send it back to them using their label, thus forcing their refund as soon as it arrives at the return address.

Officially, I understand that if you lose the Item Not Received dispute because your package went to a different address, and you have confirmed this with your post office, and they have given you a statement in writing to say that the package with your tracking number was addressed to someplace else, then you should be able to win an appeal (and thus a refund) from eBay. I have no idea how many victimized buyers are successful in doing this.

I was thinking as a buyer, it's pretty hard to get ripped off.

If you should somehow lose a INR case you can always win a INAD case - as long as you're willing to return the item.
