New wrinkle in ebay scams?

[parkerbink]

Surely you don't think those massive fees go into customer service, in any way. :roll:

Color me naive.

They are like the phone company was before the split up. ebaY, "We don't care, we don't have to"

I buy local, even if it costs more. I find my luck to be better that way. Otherwise, I'll find a credible website to buy products. I rarely shop eBay anymore and if it wasnt for R3V and BF.C, I wouldnt even do Paypal.

if his account truly is closed, file a claim, it should refund immediately. ?

I got the refund email & now eBay shows the item as payment pending because he filed a non paying bidder claim.

He had the nerve to think I'd say I no longer wanted the item so he could get the fees deducted.

I told it like it was and when he emailed me to complain I told him to leave me alone as I was doing him a favor not leaving a neg & filing a non selling seller claim.

Ebay has truly destroyed any chance of profitability or success doing a retail business.

I am sorry to hear of the hassles you guys are having, but soon I am going to print up a few of these stories to "share" with my customers.

Buyer beware, indeed.
