Hi Vikram, You won't believe my problems with them.
I am an Englishman who came to live in Goa at the end of August this year.I had traded on ebay.UK for several years, I had a score of 67, and used PayPal for all transactions. On leaving the UK I emailed ebay to ask if I could keep my account and my PayPal arrangement. I was told NO you must close both and register again with ebay India. I closed both accounts and soon after I arrived I was back online, I registered with ebay India and found a piece of furniture that I wanted to buy. Then my problems started. I didn't know which ebay I was on, UK or India, If I clicked to go to terms on a page I could get ebay UK! I was told that the packaging for the item was ยฃ800.00 english pounds but India said Rs800. It became impossible but after emailing the seller direct I did a deal and needed to use PaisaPay for a debit card payment. I gave all my details to ebay, Name, Card number, Expiry date and security number. They replied asking for scanned copies of my debit card. I spoke to my bank in the UK and they said that if I sent the scanned copies then my insurance on the card would immediately become null and void and ebay's request was ludicrous. They could not beleive that I had been asked to send such details by email and it was against international banking principles for them to request this. The amount was just over Rs10,000. I have traded in the uk, on ebay, for amounts in excess of ยฃ1000 UK pounds Sterling. (Thats around 1.2 lakh) and never had to do anything more than provide my debit card details. I asked ebay India to close my account permanently.I will never trade with them again. As you see, one week later and I'm still a member of ebay India, and ebay UK. So efficient it makes you wonder if the've all been taken away to the Home for the Bewildered in Mumbai.
I'm glad to be rid of such a crowd of amateurs.
A happy ex pat in Goa!
