Hi Richard, I apologise that we are unable to offer a service in which you could purchase the items in person, rather than ordering online. At the moment this is not something we can offer out to our customers, however we are always looking into different ways of how we can improve our service at Ebuyer and your comments will certainly be passed across to be reviewed further internally to add to this. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kind Regards, Lucy

First order I placed was to parcel motel - a reputable courier service that deliver to ROI from NI. Order cancelled and account closed without any explanation. It took me 2 days to get my account reopened. Customer service unhelpful - supervisor - yes the one with the american accent - couldnt suggest a solution, disinterested in helping legitimate customers (who can prove their identity and are willing to assume financial risk of fraud). Customer service trainer - a suitable method of dealing with concerns is not repeating the same garbage over and over in 3 minute diatribes. I would also suggest your customer service agents actually listen to what the customer is saying - between the diatribes and repeating myself I wasted A LOT of time on the phone. Thanks

Hi Crawford, Firstly I would like to offer my apologies to you for the inconvenience you have been caused as a result of this matter. In regards to the order placed, unfortunately due to problems that we have had in the past with Parcel Motel for security reasons we are unable to ship any orders to them I'm afraid, however I apologise that your account was made inactive due to this without you being given any notice about what was happening. In regards to the customer service you received by our Customer Support Senior Advisor, I am sorry to hear that you feel that the information you were given by her was not satisfactory. We do not want you to feel this way when calling us and I will certainly pass this across to the Customer Support Team Leader so that this matter can be taken up as a training issue for the future. If you do wish to discuss this further, please feel free to email me and I can answer any further queries you may have. My email address is lucy@ebuyer.com. Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies for the annoyance caused. Kind Regards, Lucy

Really need to sort out their Stock system. I have ordered items that I required urgently, paid for Express Next Day delivery, only to receive an email after the delivery was due to say that the items were not in stock after all. What makes it worse is that if you then go on the Website, it is still showing the items as being in stock, after they say they have none. Then to add insult to injury they quote in their email "If you opt for an alternative item, please supply our quick find code and we will be happy to amend this item for you. " Do they heck, their unhelpful Sales Staff told me they cannot amend an order with alternative items!! Not amused, especially given this has happened to me twice in two weeks!!

Hi Mark, Firstly, I would like to offer you my apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result of this matter as we do not expect for any problems to be caused due to out of stock items. Our website is monitored daily and should be automatically updated to reflect the current stock levels of all of our items, however of some occasions this does need to be handled manually and it does take a little longer for the information to be amended when done this way. I apologise that on two occasions you have ordered items which have then appeared as being out of stock as I do understand the frustration this can cause and I will certainly pass this information across to be reviewed internally for the future to try and prevent this from happening again. In regards to the order number you have provided this this review, I have checked this for you and I can see that the problems with the out of stock items have been resolved by my colleague on the Customer Support Team for you. Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies for any annoyance caused. Kind Regards, Lucy

Ref - 20885139 and 20896493 Absolute rubbish. You need to review your ID Security check process. This robotic 'once you have been selected, it cannot be reversed' trash just does not wash. Despite phone calls, paying via a different method (as instructed) and offering to undergo any security quiz on the phone, I still will not be receiving my £700 order. I do not have time to find a scanner and send a passport picture for an up to 48 hour check! I wanted to ensure delivery by today, that's why I placed the order 5 days ago! I will be going overseas in 48 hours - without a laptop and phone. Ebuyer have slapped a good customer in the face and I feel criminalised. A rule book is a wise man's guide and a fool's bible. Sack whoever is in charge of this ID Verification process, they are fools. Very disappointed in an inflexible company. D Traynor

Hi Tina, I'm sorry to hear you are having problems placing your order with us. Having viewed the order, I can see you have been sent an email advising of the issue with the billing address. Unfortunately we cannot process the order as the bank are advising the billing address you have entered on your order does not match the address the bank card is registered to. This will need to be updated before the order can be accepted. I would advise to contact your bank if you are unsure of the address. I hope you can accept my apologies for any inconvenience or annoyance caused. Kind Regards, Lucy

Hi Alan, Having looked at your order internally, I can see that you were entitled to free shipping on this order however due to a system error the carriage was adding on to your order. This sometimes happens on orders when the payment method is PayPal and we are not sure why the system does this, our IT Department are monitoring this. I can see you have spoken with our Customer Support Team who have refunded you for the full carriage costs. I would like to apologise to you for any frustration this matter has caused. Kind Regards, Lucy

Just ordered some memory and an external DVD writer from eBuyer, the order went through successfully and I paid by PayPal. Then within a minute of placing the order, I received an email saying that the memory is out of stock. Checked again on eBuyer site and it still reports that the memory IS IN stock!!! The email suggests that there will be options available to me once I go back into My Account about what to do with the out of stock items and other items included in the order. The Cancel Order option is greyed out as is the Change Item option. Absolutely ridiculous that their system doesn't flag up when the item is out of stock BEFORE a customer places an order. Then on top of that, the system doesn't even allow you to change or cancel the order. RUBBISH service, eBuyer!!!

Dear Iftekhar, Firstly I would like to apologise to you for any annoyance or inconvenience this matter has caused. Having viewed your order I can confirm that unfortunately we do only have 1 of the 'Extra Value 2GB DDR2 667/PC2-5300 Laptop Memory' available, however the order is for two. Please can you let me know if you wish for me to amend the order and ship 1 out to you, or if you wish for me to cancel the order? I can then action that for you and confirm via email. Thank you, and apologies once again. Kind Regards, Lucy

I run a computer business and I've been buying from ebuyer since 2004 a couple of years ago they missed out a memory chip and refused to accept it wasn't sent as part of a large order I had to buy a replacement locally it cost me £13 I stoped ordering from them until I'd spent £13,000 with other suppliers. Then I started using them again only if I couldn't find the product elsewhere for the same price. I just bought an acer without an operating system intending to install Windows 7 however, it is only compatible with Windows 8 something not mentioned in the description at the time of ordering. When I tried to return it as it's not suitable for purpose they wanted a 20% restocking fee. So i'll never order from them again and pass this onto trading standards.

Hi Robert, I apologise for the inconvenience that this matter has caused to you. In regards to the restocking fee, this is something that is stated within the business terms and conditions that are agreed to when an account is set up with Ebuyer. All of our policies and terms and conditions are in line with the Sales of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) and have been checked and approved by Trading Standards. I understand the frustration that this matter may have caused to you and once again please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused. Kind Regards, Lucy

Hi Gumal, I apologise that you experienced some problems whilst trying to checkout with PayPal when placing your order. When PayPal is used as the payment method, the orders have to run through their security processes before it gets passed across to us at Ebuyer where it will then run through our security processes as well. When the order is being processed by PayPal, we have no control over the security that they run on the orders and cannot override any of the decisions that they make I'm afraid. I am sorry that on this occasion your order was subjected to extra checks due to the address being unverified, however this is something that PayPal advised to us and it would be them who you would need to contact directly in regards to making sure that the address you are using is verified by them. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to email me at lucy@ebuyer.com and we can look into this further for you. Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies. Kind Regards, Lucy

Hi Robert, Firstly I would like to apologise to you for any annoyance caused as a result of this matter. After looking at your orders I can see that you raised a return for the item in November 2013, however it was cancelled due it being left idle on our systems for over 30 days. I can confirm that once you raised the RMA you were sent an email which included the number for our Technical Support Team and you would have needed to contact them in order for the return to be processed further. As we did not have any contact from you, unfortunately the system automatically cancelled the request and I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you are still having problems with the item I can confirm that you would now need to contact the manufacturer directly as it is now out of the first 28 days of purchase. You can contact them on 0845 351 1005 and they will be able to assist you further. I hope this information helps. Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies. Kind Regards, Lucy

Ordered one of the special daily deals. Stock was fine, well over 100 left. Excepted payment and told me item purchased and then had screen asking if I would like to pin to facebook and try to win an ipad. So I thought why not, product was at a good price. Did this and came out only to find product had been cancelled.?.......? Phoned up to see what was going on and they don't know why it was cancelled but I would need to check my card I used to see if they had taken payment. I am afraid this seems a bit dodgy to me. Will be interested to know if this has happened to anyone else that applied for one of their daily deals.

Have just placed an order on Ebuyer, all went well, payment process very smooth almost instant confirmation email of my order but then almost immediately followed by instant email advising of a stock shortage and my order cannot be fulfilled! Normally excellent service from Ebuyer but this is shows their process is not joined up - why not check stock during the checkout phase! The 'out of stock' email also advised I return to the website for 'more options' - I cannot see any options available. I also note that the website product page still says 'in stock' !! All in all a disappointing visit to the Ebuyer website
