Thats the problem, everyone moans about it, but they still use it
Until ALOT of people vote with their feet and move to one of the other auction sites nothing will ever change.
I joined ebay in 2001 and it was a VERY different expereience then.
No scammers and people running bedroom businesses, it was pretty much just private sellers selling their junk.
These days I cant decide who is doing the most ripping off, the scammers trying it on all the time, or ebay/palpay themselves!

Never had a problem myself, but there is always a first time. I feel less and less comfortable on the 'bay of the thieves now....

Buying a car from ebay is a joke, paypal ain't much better as i've recently had problems with it.
Advertised a samsung d500 for sale ship to england only, someone in belgium won it even tho I was not sending it there. He said i've bought one recently and it cost £6 to ship. I agreed and he paid thru paypal so I shipped the phone.
He said at first he did not recieve it claimed thru paypal and they didn't wait for my response and gave him the money back, later that day he recieved the phone and luckily reversed the claim and gave me the money back.
There is a way called cashback which someone mentioned to me that means you "should" be able to still claim for your money even after paypals handed it back, I don't know if/how this worksComment

ebid is another one iirc.Comment

I've just had to put in a complaint with ebay. The listing program won't let me list up an item because i've turned off all the items that cost me extra so I was just doing the bog standard listing fee of 0.15p
It kept coming up with an error but would not tell me what that was and kept trying to include the background option and saying i'd included an invalid amount.
ebay sucksComment

I bought something on ebay for £125 inc. postage. It arrived but it was not as described. Seller would not admit that it was not as described. put it in the hands of Paypal to claim back the money, note that the item was listed with the Paypal protection. Eventualy won the case, seller agreed to a refund. I was told by Paypal to return the goods with tracking details at the cost to me of £10. I then received an email from paypal saying that the seller has no funds in his paypal account, so no money. Case closed by paypal. After bitterly complaining to paypal i am awaiting for a response that should be finalised by 16th of august. So far I am out of pocket by £135 and the seller got the item back plus £125!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paypal protection certainly is a farce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AelredComment

Yeah just shows that you don't want to return the item until the money is in your account, it's like a sale in reverse...Cheers'en, AndyC

similar thing happened with a mate a few months back,crap quality item/total nobber seller.Anyway my mate had to send the item to paypal who kept hold of it until he refunded the cash.I don't think they will ever sort this out totally.
One thing that really gets me worked up about ebay/paypal is fact that they force you to provide paypal as a means of payment.Comment
