Why Ebay Sucks To Infinity

[slidekellyslide]

This guy is the reason ebay should return the seller's privilege to give out negative feedbacks. How do other ebayers protect themselves from an idiot like this if you can't see how he operates?

Scenario...I list this auction on ebay on August 10th

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1#ht_500wt_947

...it ends on August 17th. My auction states that the buyer has 5 days to pay...Joe725 is the winner...seems to me that I recall this bidder...ah yes, he won an auction from me in June or July and I had to turn him into ebay after two weeks for non-payment...he finally paid for that auction. Well, once again he is late with payment, but I figure this is how the guy does it and I'll get paid soon...well after 10 days I turn him in to ebay again for non-payment and he finally pays me on Sept 1st. Being the dutiful seller that I am I already have it packaged and ready to ship via priority insured mail and get it to the post office on the same day....the tracking info shows that he received the package on Sept 3rd

0309 2880 0000 0693 1735

Now here it Sept 15th and the guy emails me and says the cards are horrible and he wants a refund...I tell him that it's been well past the 7 day return period stated in the auction. He then turns me in to ebay for "item significantly not as described."..along with it he sends me an email that says he was in the hospital so he couldn't do anything until now...check out his ebay bidding activity during the time he states he was in the hospital. He has won 8 items since receiving my postcards.

So I email him back and tell him to send the cards back and I'll refund as soon as I get them...of course ebay states that I have "3 days to refund upon receipt"...but he had two weeks to pay me after he won them.

I'd suggest blocking this guy (Joe725 Joe Loce from Rochester, NY) if you sell Women's baseball postcards and, or autographed nudie photos.

When will ebay start protecting sellers again?

NEVER. That's why i only buy VERY judiciously if anything these days. I still have a chaffed fanny from ALL the FAKE GAI GLOBAL Mantle, Dimaggio and Williams Fakes that they not only ALLOW, THEY FRIGGIN ENDORSE THE CROOKED OPERATION.

They also have finally added SCAT Unauthentic to their list of NOT ALLOWED COA's ,but it makes NO difference. You see that trash along with the off shoot scam Artist TTA (Ted Taylor=HUGE CROOKED F), not to mention idiot sellers proudly displaying Chris MoralASS certs like they are gold and Jack A's bidding on that garbage. I am convinced and you should be too that E-bay does not give a rats ass. Until they start, I will be be on the sidelines...... after all, you wouldn't have the crime with-out the help of E-bay. They could care less about this segmaent of their business. It makes them MILLIONS. They are a few steps above Coaches Corner.

Eh...I meant "sellers", not "buyers". Sorry if your post makes no sense now Fuddjcal.

[scottglevy]

As much as we all complain....somehow many (probably most of us) still buy or sell or both on ebay --- so where is their financial incentive to change?

[Fuddjcal]

makes no sense NOW? They NEVER make any sense. Just a bunch of angry rambling

Dan, below my ranting is a message I received. This is an account that I sell items for my daughter. over 1500 transactions, 1225 feedback. I looked into and it seems I am charging to much for shipping I think. Hard to figure ebays reasons. I have had a couple of complaints for overseas customer about shipping, but always refunded money when I sent for less than buyer paid. I ship everything Priority mail and print postage on line for all US customers unless they request otherwise.
Unfortunately with ebay, feedback from a seller is like any survey. The customer just fills the feedback(survey) and does not really think about what number he enters or how it affects the seller.

Also ebays limits don't make since since I was selling much more than their limits. Where does $82.00 and $45.00 come from, certainly not 75%.of my sales.

So the seller suffers again.

"Your account has fallen below our minimum seller performance standards. You're still able to list and sell items. However, your volume will be limited until your performance meets these standards.

This limit takes effect on 9/8/2010. Each week you can sell up to 75.00 % of what you historically listed with this account.

You may have up to 5 open listings, up to $82.00 open sales, and up to $45.00 closed sales during each week.

If you exceed any one of the above thresholds (open listings, open sales, or closed sales), you will be unable to list for 7 days, when the limit will reset.

Your account will be limited until buyer satisfaction improves and you're no longer performing below standard (measured by your detailed seller ratings").
