I think there are better places to sell than ebay after several bad experiences selling. I misplaced tracking number (my fault) on item sold and shipped via USPS, as was stated in listing, but ebay refunded it quickly after buyer claimed not received yet (it was still within time frame of estimated USPS shipping). I later found the tracking number, which confirmed the buyer had actually received the item, but ebay would not provide the sale proceeds since they had already refunded it (I'm out $100). I closed my long-held account that had 100% positive feedback after that, but probably should have kept it open and only used it for buying and never selling (too risky). I have found options for selling that seem to have less risk than ebay in terms of withholding funds or refunding unfairly: https://amasty.com/blog/10-ebay-alternatives-2023/

Ebay constantly reports items shipped when all the shipper has done is submitted a tracking number. That is intentional fraud on ebay's part. Shipped means that a shipping entity has received it. Always has, always will. Ebay admits it when it issues a refund for an item it listed as "shipped" which never subsequently got any tracking data or was ever received, which has happened for me a number of times.

This company is ridiculous. They have a platform that is confusing forcing you to do an auction and if the item you are selling is no longer available due to damage you are charged. I will not use them again to sell anything ever again. Wish I had read reviews before I got charged 67.-- for removing a listing.

I am an Ebay Canada customer, many things I bought were good, but my experience is that I bought several brand name Tissot watches for over 100 Canadian dollars, from India. I received the watches, I took them to a watchmaker for inspection and I was surprised that none of them had the original machine everyone had a MIYOKA machine, their machine had been replaced by another and they still sell it as TISSOT. recommend if you buy watches from India pay a visit to watchmaker to see if you were scammed I am sorry that Ebay has no control over this because this is called a scam

I canceld an order the day I ordered. Also emailed the seller. My order was taking and cancel that day. They shipped out the item even thought I canceld... ordered on 16 canceled on 16 they shipped out on the 18 witch if the seller read my email he would have known and not sending . As far as EBAY is concerned they said they never got any cancelation witch I did emailed the 16 basically I was told I never sent it with I sent again today with EBAY response to that ail on the 16. Seller never reads your messages and ebay claims they never got it. I sent the email again with ebay responding to my email on the same day...the 16. Now will see if they claim they never got it seller I will send back my package return receipt and ebay shame on you. Very disapointed and will NEVER deal with EBAY. Thank goodness I keep everything so I can prove . I will expect my money back when I receive and send back the package. Full refund.

Started selling on Ebay in 2001. There were NO .30 cent insertion fees and you did not have to pay 12.5% on item price plus gd shipping fees. If I buy an item at a yard sale for $5.00 and charge $10 on Ebay and charge $6.00 to ship it. I have to pay the .30 cents, $2.08 ebay takes,, $1.50 for shipping supplies (boxes are expensive), MY TOTAL PROFIT IS 1.08. YEAH, A WHOLE DOLLAR. Thinking of selling another website.

Have no customer service try to get money back from a refund they want me to go go to Google Play Store one big hassle after another should be a simple process the seller wants to give money back but eBay once again is holding it up I don't understand very frustrating absolutely no communication

I had a terrible experience as a seller. I sold an item internationally using ebay international shipping and ebay somehow put a wrong destination on the label and thus sent the item to the wrong address. Unsurprisingly, the item was never found and ebay, conveniently refunded the buyer charging my account! I called 5 times and every time it took them only a few minutes to admit that it was Ebay's fault, not the buyer nor the seller. However, they never refunded my money which is really unfair. I vowed I will never use ebay any more. This is not how companies should do business.

It's a bit confusing. The buckwheat pillow that I ordered was a lot smaller then I thought it would be. I am returning it. The box it came in had labels with Amazon's name...that was confusing. When I went to my orders on both Ebay and Amazon, my order wasn't listed. I paid $39+ for the pillow and they are only giving me $21+ back. Amazon does a good job of packing...here, the pillow was squashed into a very small box and a lot tape as if it was a return from someone else. I gave two stars because they make returns easy.

We have shopped alot on eBay but are now shopping elsewhere,we had problems or bought pack of 6" nails was sent 1 nail,bought black plastic sheeting j Knox ,was sent pale grey ,little or no help from eBay,bought 2 items ,sent only 1 ,seller did not respond ,eventually got refund after long time,bought plants arrived very poor,bought seeds ,was sent sometimes just 3 seeds,some seeds supposed be viola ,but when germinated where oil seed rape,& cosmos ,supposed to be rare orchid. So we have had enough and now lockdown has ended will shop in town, postag e for items is far too expensive,we have been good eBay shoppers but have lost confidence. Still waiting for wall poster it's taken over M nth still haven't got it,we have contacted eBay in past with little help.

I've been on Ebay for 20 years now. They recently forced sellers to use them to get paid instead of Paypal. Ebay charges more for each item than both Ebay and Palpal charges were combined. They know Amazon is the only other option. So guess they don't care about extorting their customers.

Jan 9, 2021 Ebay for most of the time does not respond to message through twitter for days or months They have limited staff working and the phone service was taken away . Which really bites. Through there global shipping sometimes you don't get updates on your package There service use to be great at one time , suddenly its gone down

The site is being over run with Chinese knock offs and repetitive sales/auctions for the same product. The amount of time it takes to find what you're looking for is almost as bad as aliexpress, which is what this site is in danger of becoming.

It is not so much a bad experience . The problem lies in ebays global shipping where packages are handed over to multiple carriers It never use to be that way . For one Intelcom Express Courier Service has the worst delivery service , the business is down right horrible and delivery service is never on an exact time ., a shady business A business that cares nothing about a persons package That's two days and my package hasn't been delivered yet from the dispatch centre in Surrey Ebay global shipping just doesn't get it and do not care about ones package They don't reply to messages through twitter as often , to me that's bad .
