Thread: EBay Greed

Ebay watches for stuff like that. Yea it's against the rules and they only give you so many warnings before you lose privileges.

Good luck trying to contact them these days. Before COVID, you could call and speak to a rep but not anymore and they need to hire all their reps back to answer phone calls. I had an issue not long ago in which I sold an item (Harley turn signal module) but the buyer said it wasn't working so I told him to do a return. That was a mistake on my part but they changed their rules or policy. I replaced the part for him and eBay refunded his money!!! I tried calling them like I used to but they instructed me to go to their help section and that ran me in circles. I had to send him a message to return my money. I didn't hear from him so I finally found where I could report him but they did nothing about it. I finally sent him another message a week later and he replied apologizing and I sent him my email address to pay me via Paypal which he did. Thankfully he was an honest buyer. Now when you do a replacement, they need to send an item back on their own and not have them do a return. Most of the time, it isn't an exchange though. I suspect he didn't plug it in all the way because they can look plugged in but not locked in place and won't work. I need to find one of my brothers with an '07 -up to test it out. I'd bet it's good.

eBay is a joke. In the past 3 months I had at least 3 auctions I was bidding on cancelled because the "listing was wrong" just for the item to be relisted immediately and sold as BIN.
There are zero rules as long as they make their cut.

I never have a problem contacting Ebay.
