Again.
Just purchased an iMac from ebay today morning. Spent £ 780 pounds.
Two hours later I get an email from Ebay stating this item was auctioned from a fraudulent account.
First thing I ve grabbed my laptop and searched how to contact them. Found it not easy to get connected to C.S. Once there ( 40 mins wait ) the agent talks to you but you can tell he/she is trying to derail your thinking onto different path, Quite a few times had copy/paste answers type alike..
So Now I have my monies frozen for at least 2 weeks. 2 weeks of hell to find out what they will say.
Paypal useless also. :/ Blames ebay and vice versa. Im due full Ebay account cancellation as soon as I get my refund.
Lastly, another case that happened to me recently on Ebay as a seller. Word of advice. Avoid Global shipping programe. Once your parcel is not delivered in time, the buyer gets a full refund no questions ask, you are charged.
Read on google that there is a gap in the system where users abuse this programe by applying for refunds for items that didnt come ( they arrive but a bit later but it wont show up on the system ) so the buyer gets a free item and you have no item neither monies.
Lastly huge charges, 10% ebay + 5% paypal ( ebay )
High return risk = $£ loss
Im seriously out of ebay. Been there since 2007, 750+ 100% feedback. Always been mega reliable super seller/buyer.
Its time to find new platforms, Be aware tho, Gumtree is now owned by ebay too.
( already had issues with my paid posts being removed without even 1 email notice )
Hope someone will find this review useful.
Peace 2 all
