Opening a new thread because eBays ONLY response to the old mega thread of tons of people getting scammed, was to close the thread.
I have been scammed 5 times in the last month. 3 by the same person, using the same payment info. eBay let’s brand new accounts file “Item not as described” cases, auto approves them, and then asks ME to buy the shipping return label, or SEND THE SCAMMER CASH TO DO SO.
Unbelievable. The scammer had admitted to receiving the items as described, sent a photograph showing so, and even said he didn’t want anything back..... eBay STILL REFUNDED HIM and made him not have to return the item.
My question is, why does eBay offer ZERO seller protection? I spent probably 6 hours on the phone speaking to 5 different people, NONE of which spoke fluent English, meaning my complicated in depth problem was not TRULY understood. I could tell by the incorrect and random responses I was given.
Top rated seller, over 10 years on eBay, I’ve quit because of this. Closed my store and all, after making eBay $10,000 alone in fees and invoices in 3 months. Death to eBay.
I recommend Facebook Marketplace to anyone looking for a new venue! They ACTUALLY care for their sellers believe it or not! Facebook is way bigger than eBay too, yet they seem to find the time to have an unbiased look at a situation between buyer and seller.
eBay, I hate you and each employee with all my heart. I wish you would close up shop and all link arms and jump into a fire.
Thanks 🙂
