Hi sundar007,

Your query seems to be specific to PayPal. Though both PaisaPay and PayPal are an eBay company, however PayPal does not exist in India.

The best people to help you will be PayPal customer support. You may also post your question to other users on selling on eBay India board. You might find someone who had had this experience and will be able to help you out better.

Regards,
Sapana

Sir,
My problem is peculier. I was on Baazee also had a different ID at eBay au where my password and email was
the same as on Baazee. With out consulting me my account
was transferred to eBay au. As soon as I received the billing in US currency I took up the matter with ebay.in
as well as eBay au. For months the argument given was -
since I had more ratings on eBay au my account was therefore transferred to eBay au. This statement was
WRONG. I had better ratings at Baazee utimately after
3 months or argrments eBay agrreed that I had better
ratings on Baazee. But eBay is NOT willing to change the
billing currency to Indian Rupees.
My mail box is still full of mails exchanged.
Problem with eBay is that those who reply DO NOT read
what is written in the mail - they just give a reply
[probably to show that the matter has been dealt with].
I, therefore, request you to please take up the matter
with some senior person in eBay to change the billing
currency. For your inormation I have done nothing on
eBay au for past 2 years.
May I hear from you?
Best wishes
Pushpa Sharma

Dear Mr.Rohit

I have won fm auction item no. 7553260013 - sony Dcr Trv 438E Camcorder from Ronitronics (rohit mittal-Luckow) thru e-bay on Oct 13, 2005. The seller has asked me to deposit the bid amount of Rs. 10352.00 in IDBI bank and the same was deposited on Oct 17, 2005 but till date he has not sent the item nor responding to my mails. Now I found out fm your site that he is no more a member and he was registered for only one month. Can I suggest that you highlight the registration expiry period of the seller against each item and secondly you should give correct and full address of the registered seller. As a leading auction site it is yr duty to ensure safety and guarantee the buyer's payments.????
I am left with no option but to take legal action or can you suggest any other way please???????????
I am disappointed with ebay, help me

hey bussness help me to do bussness . i m doin b tech from lucknow n i m intrested in tis my id is justittifaq@rediffmail.com

dear ebay sellers and buyers,
first onething the seller should know that before sending the sold product to the customertest the product many timesand ensure that the product works good. if it doesent work properly immediately contact the customerand inform them the problem (whether you are returning the moneyor if the customer ready wait some more daysyou can make alternative arrangements to get the good product)if the customer does not willing to wait for the product return his/her money with a email carrying sorry letter. this way will make you to another transaction with the same customer.another important point is don't hide your address. when you are confirming your sales email your address to the customer,lets we will come to the ebay management people
how customer comes to know about the seller, only through the ebay, then how ebay can say that they are not responsible. if a customer (buyer) is in another state and ordered for the item and if he didnot get it whom he/she has to contact? how long the process will take to end the dispute? till then the buyer will be in dillema that whether he/she will get the money back?why this kind of transaction? if the buyer won th bid and if he/she did not pay there wont be any loss for the seller as he proceed further for next seller. if the buyer pays and the product is not received then it is the shame for the ebay and seller and bad propaganda about ebay will continue. to end the problems related to buyer and seller i have a good plan to solve these problemsand there by employment will also increase. as i dont have much space i will elobrate the plan on 15th of this month.
