Poor and disgusting support from Ebay

[ksin8690]

ebay is the worst online portal for shopping , they have worst tie ups and generally they send faulty products to thier customer . I prurchased a Phone from them Micromax c115 , They send me faulty product and when i raised the compliant they rejected my claim by saying product comes under manufacturer warranty . After purchasing a product should i need to visit customer service centre on the second day . worst part is that service centre guy was unable to give us time line when they will give us the product . They were so rude and unprofessional that i cant tell you . So i request all of you not to visit and purchase any product from ebay . 

After all this incidents i gave a call to ebay to look in to the matter , but they were so unprofessional first witha complaint id 229340 they said somebody will revert back to you in 24 hours and they gave me reference number 1- 10935248534 but no body turns up then  again i called them up they said with 6 hours somebody will call me but i didnt receive the call and again i call them up they said within one hours somebody will turn up but result was same . 

worst part was when i again call them up they said there is no escalation in the system so they have to again raise the complain and they gave me reference number 1-11037033446 and but result is same . I asked them to put me to the Sr. Team member they said no Sr. team member is available in the office . I am shocked .

So its my humble request i dont want any of us to fall in trap of ebay , i have already registered a complaint against them in consumer court . Please beware and dont shop with ebay ,Most poorest online shopping portal .

Hi Kapil,

I'm one of the general seller on eBay. I understand how disappointing it is when you excitingly wait for a new phone to come and when it's delivered to you, it's dead or malfunctioning. But allow me a moment to express my individual point of view on your review.

There doesn't exist any online store than can gaurantee you the delivery time. They always use the term Estimated Delivery Time. This is because there exist backend sellers like us who sell their products on eBay or be it any other online store and once you place an order, we're given 3-5 days to ship and no one can gaurantee how much time a carrier such as Blue Dart ( One of the fastest Courier Service Provider ) can take because there always exist exceptions and that's the reason I THINK Customer Care Executives are not allowed to COMMIT any Delivery Time Frame.

Point of Fact is that they don't know
1. When the Seller would ship the Product.
2. Which Carrier would Seller Use?
3. What kind of carrier service would seller use? and, 
4. How much time that carrier would take?

I know it's indeed digusting to visit the service centre for a product you just bought but this is an unfortunate instance. If you purchase a product from any local or branded shop out there, once the product is billed or unsealed, it's all yours. The Shop Owner or Seller will only be responsible for Warranty in case he has mentioned or offered the Warranty himself. In this scenario the warranty was offered by Manufacturer so we can not held Seller or eBay responsible for not entertaining Warranty Requests.

But this whole thing could be very much cleared on the first call to eBay and I think eBay Customer Care executives should focus on transparency rather than promising 24 hours, 6 hours or 1 hour call back. And of course not all the executives are same. Anyway this answer is based on my selling and buying experience on eBay and I DO NOT represent anyone except me.

Happy Buying 🙂 - Happy Selling 🙂
