EBAY UNFAIR TO BUYER??????????

[chicachica22]

GUYS, I AM SURE THIS TOPIC IS GOOD ENOUGH TO START A WHOLE NEW DEBT. BUT THINKING BOUT THIS, U FEEL ITS SO TRUE. i MEAN WHAT TOOLS DO BUYERS HAVE HERE, OTHER THAN LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, OR FILING A DISPUTE.

I MEAN INCASE OF A FRAUD, WHAT CAN A BUYER DO OTHER THAN MULL OVER THE ISSUE AND THE BAD EXPIRIENCE. JUST BECAUSE THE SELLER PAYS COMMISSION TO EBAY, THEY HAVE GIVEN HELL LOTTA RIGHTS AND TOOLS TO SELLER. FOR e.g. A SELLER CAN BLOCK A BIDDER, A SELLER CAN GIVE A STRIKE TO THE BUYER, EVEN IF SELLER IS AT FAULT STILL HE IS ALLOWED TO ANSWER THE NEGATIVE RATING WITH A NEGATIVE.

i HAVE OBSERVED NOW FOR THREE WEEKS, EVEN IF YOU PAY THE SELLER ON TIME AND DO EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO THE SELLER REQUIREMENTS, STILL SELLER DEMANDS A POSITIVE FEEDBACK BEFORE HE CAN GIVE YOU A FEEDBACK. I MEAN AS A SELLER U HAVE BEEN SATISFIED RIGHT?? U GOT UR MONEY ON TIME etc. THEN SHUDNT U GIVE THE BUYER A POSITIVE FEEDBACK WITHOUT DEMANDING A POSITIVE FEEDBACK FIRST?? DOSNT THE BUYER HAVE A RIGHT TO HIS OPINION? ITS ALMOST LIKE SELLER MANUPILATING A FEEDBACK. ATLEAST I HAVE HAD SUCH EXP HERE.

ALSO WHATS THE BIG DEAL BOUT THE BUYER PROTECTION PROGRAM? IT TAKES SEVERAL CLAIMS, MAILS PROOFS, HELL LOTTA COMMUNICATION AND RUNNING AROUND B4 UR PAID A PENNY. N APART FRM THT, U HAVE TO WAIT ATLEAST 30 DAYS B4 ESCALATING D CLAIM. NOW TEL ME GUYS, IF A PERSON HAS MONEY PROBLEMS AND CANT WAIT FOR 30 DAYS, WHT CAN HE DO?
SELLER WILL PROBABLY CLOSE HIS ACCOUNT AND OPEN A NEW ONE. AND START THE CHEATING GAME ALL OVER AGAIN.

LASTLY I FEEL BUYERS SHUD BE GIVEN THESE POWERFUL TOOLS, LIKE THEY CAN BLOCK A SELLER, OR INCASE THEY FEEL THE SELLER IS A FRAUD THEN NOT ALLOW HIM TO LEAVE U A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IN TURN. EVEN GIVE THE SELLER A STRIKE FOR NOT GIVING U THE ITEM ON TIME, OR IF FAIL TO DEIVER AN ITEM. HMMM SEEMS SELLERS HERE HAVE ALL THE PRIVILEDGES AND NOT THE BUYERS.

WELL LETS SEE IF THE BUYERS GET TOGETHER, MAYB SUMTHIN CAN BE DONE BOUT THIS ISSUE. TILL THEN ADIOS AMIGOS.

Ebay is the safest way to buy online.

It is the best in the world.

Ebay is good only as long as you are not cheated. Buyer protection never works if item is broken. They unreasonably expect you ship it back not realising hsipping cost is significant part of deal. They are evry slow and trust and safety team are never reachable on phone. Most of their replies look like automated e-mails. We should collect all such buyer experience on ebay's and take it to consumer forum against ebay. I was cheated by ebay for purchase of excercise machine from xlntbayer. I am still waiting for a resolution after 8 months

I could use some help.

I won the bid on mens twin tip skis two weeks ago. The seller wanted me to provide positive feedback before they would ship. When that didn't happen, they said they were new to this and paypal said I was holding payment. This is not true. I'm not even sure if it is possible. I called paypal and was told that when the skis were shipped, they would release the money I paid.

When I passed this info to the seller, he cancelled the transaction without my agreement. Now he has relisted the same skis on Ebay.

Does anybody know of any recourse I have besides bad feedback. I did that already but I feel cheated and I still want the skis.

Thanks for anything you can tell me.

EBAY provides gift coupon codes but which do not work mostly. Most of the times the gift coupons which i got were either non functional or were outdated. Even credit card discount offers are not informed on time i.e if the discount are valid till 31st march then we are informed on 30th evening.

eBay is safest for the buyers.

If the sellers start writing their experiences like how a few buyers have expressed, then eBay would have to install separate servers just to store the sellers' horrific experiences with many buyers.
