Help on Using Community Boards

[sapana@ebay.com]

Hello Everybody,

A warm welcome to the community discussion boards.

Community boards are a great place where users come together and discuss various issues, both related and not related to eBay. In the process, they gain from each other’s knowledge, share their success and disappointments, help others, make friends and most importantly have fun.

This is a place where eBay India users can sit and relax while spending time on their various eBay activities.

Here is some quick help on using the community boards, and making your posts more interesting and personlised.

To interact on these boards, you will need to register first - it's easy and free! Also, please take the time to read and familiarise yourself with the eBay Board Usage Policies on http://pages.ebay.in/help/policies/everyone-boards.html

Many sellers r coming with empty hands ,cheating people & flying away.No Ebay law is prohibiting them.Nothing is done against these sellers to save buyers interest.I have purchased 22 items IN LAST 6 MONTHS & 10 items in LAST ONE MONTH on ebay but now i'll NOT BUY anything if this bad practice of sellers continue.I HAD VERY BAD EXPERIENCES NOW A DAYS.E bay management should recover the amount from defaulter sellers & refund it to affected buyers in a easy way.IT IS THE BUYER WHO SUFFERS AT THE MOST.

I had bought a SONY 2GB PRO DUO MAGICGATE MEMORY STICK 2 GB Memory (Item No 190061184371) from party named 'silicondhaba' which is no longer a member of the ebay. I received the product which was not upto the standard. I returned it giving full information to the seller. It was the time when the seller was member of ebay. Just after I send the product for exchange, the seller was no longer a member of ebay. Although the seller was out of ebay, he send me a message that "we are looking nto the matter". It was 28th Jan at that time. From that time till now I have neither got any information. Please suggest what should I do further?
