I would like to share with ebay india buyers about my experience of buying form Ebay USA
Recently i bought a item from Ebay USA
Item cost was about 30 dollars
Shipping cost was 7 dollars.
i ordered in january this year.
Waited for one whole month of february but didn't recieve anything.
Filed a dispute and contacted the seller in march.
Seller is not providing me with any exact shipping details for me to review.
When i investigated the seller about providing me with shipping details like tracking number etc.,the response from my seller is this:
"Your package was sent by global priority mail in a 6 by 10 inch carboard envelope with the
item wrapped in bubble wrap."
Not much of help to me.
When i filed a claim with ebay i came to know that the maximum rimbursements that i can get forthis transaction is US $ 4 because the ebay policy is as follows:
"The maximum claim payout you can receive is your winning bid amount (up to US $200.00) less the US $25.00 processing cost. If your winning bid is less than US $25.00 your transaction is ineligible for a claim."
In my case
Item price= US $ 30
Shipping fees =US $ 7( non refundable)
Claim processing fees=US $ 25
Total money spent= US $37
Total money lost=US $33 and three months of waiting for the item and three months for processing the claim.
My crime: I WAS A BUYER AT EBAY.COM
My six months of the year 2007 are wasted in kissing ebays ass.
Moral of the story:
Dont ever buy form EBay USA or be prepared to loose everything like i did.
