Threats from eBay - but eBay fails to get it right
It's about their money!!! they eBay has little interest the customers just the transaction FEE I am mad about the BS and their attitude. All I want to do is buy the item that was auction on their site.

Seller likely has unpaid item warnings set up by default through Ebay to go out automatically, and now that he's having Paypal issues, likely forgot these e-mails are still going out to non-payers that are beyond their control.
That's why I only do stuff like that manually. I don't trust Ebay to be stable enough to not end up causing more problems then they solve. Also wonder if Ebay is sending out threatening messaging without my consent to buyers I've explicitly told to hold off on payment if they want to combine into later ending auctions. Have had a number of people ask to hold off payment so they can combine, I've told them yes, and then they've ended up making a quick payment anyways. Then, more often then not, they ask me to hold on to the payment and not send the item out because they want to combine anyways with a later item, and I have to try and explain to them as delicately as possible, that Ebay docks MY account if I hold on to a payment past an items stated shipping time, and once they send me a payment, I have to get their item out on the next possible business day. Ebay just doesn't trust anybody else to handle their own business properly nowadays. |

I never had any problems I'm a fast payer and always leave feedback never bitch, but this is over the top. The resolution center is so ineffective and not helpful they have lost a 20 year friend.

Ask the seller to cancel the UPI claim until his Paypal is cleared up or you figure out some other payment option. Glitches happen, especially on Ebay. What's the worst you think will happen to you?
As strictly a buyer, you have zero stake in the game, and zero to lose, so why don't you wait until they actually suspend you, which they are not likely to do, until you decide it's not worth your time anymore? I've filed and closed actual Unpaid Item Claims against buyers, and don't think anything even remotely negative happened to any of them. As a matter of fact I just looked up all four cases that were still visible to me, and every single one of them are still active or non-suspended accounts. |

I buy and sell on a eBay a lot and like others here have been on eBay since 1998 (that must've been a big growth year for them). I have maybe two or three issues a year out of probably a two to three hundred transactions so I try not to get too worked up...but when they do happen I know its going to be an incredible pain in the a$$ and calling their call center in Manila isn't going to help.

I joined feeBay in June, 1998
That must've been a big expansion period for them. Now I'm trying to recall what I did with all my free time, prior to '98 Last edited by perezfan; 08-19-2017 at 05:09 PM. |

What alternatives to selling do you guys use instead of Ebay? What are the cost comparisons?
Thanks |

I also joined in June 1998.
I had an issue recently where the buyer filed a non-delivery claim a couple days after the auction ended. I issued a refund. A couple days later he said he received the card, then stopped responding to my messages and never paid for the card. It was less than $40, but I was still pissed. I called the Ebay Concierge Service and they said there was no recourse with the buyer since I issued a refund, but they gave me a $75 credit to cover my trouble. I definitely recommend signing up for the Concierge Service if you get selected. They immediately made things right the two times I've called them.

I don't think there is anything comparable to ebay. That's why they get away with what they do. I see ebay and auction houses as two completely different animals.
