Notgood Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

I know we have a thread for the bargains we have found on ebay but I want to know if anyone on here has been ripped off on there.. whether it be buying or selling.

Ebay is great but there is a dark side.

Re: Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

I have had people say they never recieved payment from me, but i always keep proof, so i have always gotten what i payed 4 in the end. There have been a few times my item never came, once i was given a refund, the other time the ebay member cancelled there account, so i'm assuming they ripped off a few others 2.

Re: Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

I've bought and sold a fair few things on ebay over the time and I haven't had any real dramas. Only once I didn't receive an item I had paid for, I think it was a $15 pair of shorts. I reported it to Ebay, but like in Bekie's case the sellers account had been cancelled so there was nothing that I could do. I put it down as a learning experience and now I only try to buy off sellers with 100% feedback rating.

Re: Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

Ive bought stacks of stuff and never had a problem. I always have trouble with australia post so if anything goes missing most of the time the seller will help me out. Ebay is fantastic

Re: Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

I have never received 2 items that i paid for. the same thing happened. the seller had cancelled their account so there was no way of tracking them.
but most of the time now i just buy off people with 100% positive feedback.
Cheers

Re: Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

most sellers are great. worst buyer i had was for my old Vl Commie, he won it and didnt pay, i spoke to him on the phone before he bid too (d!ck) but he had done it to others aswell so ebay credited me and deleted him (unfortunetley before i could add feedback!!)

Re: Ebay- Have u been ripped off?

i have bought a few things and it has been ok. one item was smashed because they put it in a normal envelope without any padding, so when i asked them to compensate me they refused so i gave them a hell negative feedback
