Cheat Sellers

Going through the posts of several buyers who got cheated and refund not in sight for them, I would like to suggest that ebay should remove the slogan "5 reasons why YOU should shop on Ebay". We should post slogan "1001 reasons why YOU should not shop on Ebay"

@poruscop95purushothamreddy - There is a possibility of the courier staff stealing the prodcut. So please also contact the seller. I had a similar experience. I purchased a calculator and I got cloth rags in it. Immediately I informed the seller and also sent him the pictures. He immediately sent a fresh parcel. After his ivestigations, it was found that the courier staff had stolen 8 such parcels booked by him that day. So contacting the seller will help both the buyer and seller.

Memeber vkrm2000 posting on 14-11-10 12:18 IST 1 of 10 is essence of eBay experience. In the matter of eBay support nothing works the way it is required by the buyers. EBay has got its rules, assurences and time schedules and their support staff with canned answers where buyer view point is ignored that good to them making fool out of buyer. I have purchased good number of items from eBay and there are indeed instances of good sellers but when we get into difficult situations eBay flouts every norm. There are intrinsic defects in eBay business. In the matter of auction cases only sellers can have heart burn if bidders do not turn up to pay and receive the item. In all cases of buy-it-now it is buyer who gives away grip over his money by having to send it in advance. The later is all luck. May receive proper item and some times may not. Shipping back item from buyer end is very expensive that make it better to keep quiet and further seller wants return in un-damaged original packing even while the parcel received in damaged condition. Since courier companies and their agens with whom the eBay sellers will have contract are same at delivery points to have any responsibility for reputation of booking channel end. So they force the buyer to accept the packet as it is or otherwise return it with remark buyer refuses to take delivery. That will be a big problem. The sellers who cannot give full information on the product on enquiry sets condition that they will check the product on return and if found (without complete knowledge of product)alright returns same item all at buyers expense.This is what is upto.
Even with my present GEB of eBay.in eBay behaves in worst way. ON Thu, 21 October, 2010 5:54:55 AM, This email confirms that you made a PaisaPay payment to the following seller for the total amount of Rs. 9,613.00 using HDFC Bank online bank transfer. The seller is required to ship the item by 31-Oct-10 at the latest. You will get an email when the seller ships the item, along with shipping details such as courier name and airway bill number.
If the seller does not ship the item within the timelines, you will receive a refund of the amount paid.

eBay.in is now the worst place to buy stuff online. Any sick minded person can create a seller account and sell all the crap they have at their residence - literally anything! Be it used or cheap stuff. All that you can buy next to your home is 2X or 3X as expensive. When buyers write to sellers there is no response. When you call the seller be ready to be assaulted. Then contact ebay to learn they are more irresponsible to respond to your queries. End of the deal the buyer has lost it all - time, money, patience, faith, product, self respect, peace of mind!

However, not all sellers dupe buyers. But there are large number of seller involved in day light online duping, backed by eBay.

The buyers usually don't feedback to sellers, so I guess 'someone' takes this as an advantage to make up seller feedback to ~ 100%. I have had terrible experiences with few sellers and don't understand how they can have such high scores. Clearly yet another corruption / scam out here.

eBay.in is so different from eBay.com! All this feedback will never be fruitful unless eBay.in makes a serious attempt. But will they?

there is all and more promises for buyer protection in every ebay page you go into and the last thing you find is to be cheated and ignored. the cs team promptly responds before the purchase and after they just repeat words like a recorded message. so another indian legal scam site.

some poor incocent souls are drawn and enjoy inferior products and think they got something that is out of this world and give good responses/feedbacks. later they find product not work and think its because of improper usage.

Item Title: Imported LCD / TFT Screen Cleaning Kit
Item Number: 400177609362
PaisaPay ID 27945585522
Web address: http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400177609362

I got the item in bidding and received the item in just 3days. The seller in listing mentioned that it is IMPORTED LIQUID.But after opening the parcel when tried to clean the laptop I found that it is JUST MINERAL WATER.

I left negative feedback to the cheating seller.Then the ROUTINE EPISODE OF COMMUNITY COURT started,and the Community Court is processing its very basic and only purpose,REMOVAL OF NEGATIVES FROM THE FEEDBACK OF POWER SELLERS TO MAINTAIN THEIR FEEDBACK ALWAYS 99.8/99.9/100% LIKE SO.

The seller is POWER SELLER WITH 99.9 POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

That is why power sellers are maintaining 99.8/99.9/100% like ratings.

BYE THE BYE THE "MINERAL WATER IS VERY TASTY"

@masilamani, It is better to contact the seller over phone and explain your problem. The seller has the option to cancel the order. I had a similar experience and the seller obliged immediately.
