    @packdrip you had a tracking number? and it says delivered.... and ebay still issues refund?

    @somespells I do weekly searches on eBay for specific issues that I want, found this one at 3am after the academy awards ended and immediately purchased it

    @packdrip Been down that road before, and each time eBay sided with the buyer and told me to eat the loss. I even contacted the delivery service for each incident and they all confirmed that items were delivered correctly... even sent eBay delivery pictures at the correct buyer address.

    @packdrip I stopped when they did the same thing to me with an item. Ebay is terrible anymore. You certainly can not go into Goodwill to buy something to sell when a pair of used shoes cost you 19.99. Ebay is not a seller based community anymore they DO NOT CARE. I no longer there.

    @packdrip I fail to see how this is an eBay issue. They aren’t the shipping company.

    @packdrip The previous business I worked for decided to sell some car parts on eBay. Good listings, all the info. Ebay did nothing to protect us as sellers and made the whole experience difficult and not worthwhile, we quickly shut the other listings down and sold them elsewhere.

    @packdrip I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the cheap eBay labels… usps won’t scan them and if the buyer wants to say they never showed their is nothing I can do about…. eBay only protects the buyer

    @packdrip By dad bought something on eBay. He was notified that it was delivered and a picture was taken. My dad never received it, and the picture was a screenshot from Google maps street view of his house. EBay refused to issue the refund because the "picture" showed it was delivered.

    @packdrip @ChewieWoolf I've been using eBay for 10 years, if you used delivery with a signature you should never really have an issue. You might get the odd idiot pretending you sent them a brick, but there's ways around it with the weight on the receipt etc

    @ddpg3 @TKsAudioRoom Do both channels of your R – 115 work? I have the R-113 and it has a known left channel problem in all models in the wild and every single one for sale on ebay. Presents like a ***** switch but I think it's an issue involving the embedded controller or its software.

  • JoeW1ley

    @packdrip Ebay is the issue. 100% of the time Ebay sides with buyer in spite of facts of the ad and communication. Reputable sellers lose.

    @Hagis1244vyw I'm probably going to end up asking for a set of shelves for my birthday or something, and/or get rid of some of my old manga on eBay to make space on my bookshelves. I probably have enough space for the near future but I forsee it becoming a problem sooner rather than later

    @packdrip How eBay hasn't shut down yet, I'll never know. Even as a buyer it's not appealing to use.

    @Regenluke Unfortunately PayPal never worked there was some error long ago never got to use it and my only source of receiving money digitally is C@sh App $lovesvictory I am also open to digital gift cards for food stores or eBay because I am settling into a new apartment need things

    @cryptory420 @packdrip I’ve never had an issue as long as tracking shows the item was delivered. I started eBay in 98.

  • racisaginslzrds
    Anthony S (@racisaginslzrds) reported

    @packdrip Just had an issue where I bought a watch off eBay about a year ago, listed it for sale at a nice profit (had an offer) and eBay pulled it saying it was a counterfeit. (It is not) I asked what they would do to compensate me since they sold me a “counterfeit” watch and they sent me an AI slop response and warned me not to relist it.

    buying more clothes and selling all the ones I don't want on ebay would fix me rn

  • NickMills6987
    Nick Mills (@NickMills6987) reported

    @cryptory420 @packdrip ******** are you talking about? eBay backs the buyer not the seller. There are comments literally all over bitching about that. I had to send eBay a letter from my lawyer just to get them to review my case properly which ultimately lead to me receiving my money back when some loser tried this. His mistake was talking **** and bragging that eBay wasn’t going to do anything which ultimately lead to me winning my appeal. eBay is shady and ever since I had that issue I won’t sell on there anymore.

    @GBNEWS Anyone had trouble with Ebay and the Lottery sites ?

  • SrIke63035
    IncredibleIKE (@SrIke63035) reported

    @packdrip Yes, I agree. I’ve been selling on eBay for 15 years and the last two years have been absolutely horrible with bad customers and slow sales. Out of the entire 15 years, I might have had five refunds returns and all five of them are within the last 6 to 8 months.

    @packdrip eBay always favors the buyer. terrible marketplace

  • nagasatish16
    nagasatish (@nagasatish16) reported

    @TheVijayMallya If eBay refuses the appeal, point out that if the buyer claims it wasn't there, it’s a mail theft issue, which is for the carrier/police to handle, not the seller to subsidize.

  • Superpadre99
    Jamie Owens (@Superpadre99) reported

    @packdrip This is why I stopped selling higher end cards on eBay. The seller can get royally screwed by buyers as eBay always sides with them no matter the circumstances. eBay will shut down accounts that habitually request refunds but it doesn’t help to get your money or card. Sucks.

    @GTSEmma_VRC If needed, good base stations are cheap on EBay. I got a pair of them for $300 on there, and I haven’t had issues.

  • DMasters100
    Marlo Stanfield (@DMasters100) reported

    @packdrip I hate eBay too. Had two similar issues and decided to never sell on there again. Worked hard for my positive feedback too. eBay only cares about the buyers. Too many scammers out there. Hope horrible things happen to them all.

  • PokeFoEx
    PokeFo (@PokeFoEx) reported

    @packdrip Had the same issue on ebay with me on both ends before. 1. Bought a trading card from a seller. It was marked as delivered, but I never received it. Contacted ebay & they told me to look harder no refund. 2. Same story as yours. Gave them a full refund. Eff you Ebay.

  • s_weatherholt96

    @packdrip My hubs has been selling on Ebay for 16 years. Never been scammed as he follows Ebay rules. He has never had to issue a refund for a undelivered item, unless it was truly lost by the postal service. He knows this as he applies tracking to every package.

    @packdrip Why are you complaining on x. eBay has been a broken system for the last couple years and doesn’t give a crap about sellers. This happened to me multiple times. I’ll never sell on eBay again.
