"The computer came fine. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Thanks !!!!!!!!!"

"ebay is the counterfeit haven, everyone knows that but you can find occasional good deals.

Ordered a laptop from a seller, despite a late arrival and it being dirty/used paypal refunded me."

"THEY GET TO KEEP MOST OF MY PROFITS... THEIR FEES ALONG WITH PAYPAL ARE WAY TOO HIGH. AM ALREADY LOOKING FOR OTHER OPTIONS TO SELL MY STUFF ONLINE. DON'T LET THEM STEAL YOUR MONEY."

"eBay has done nothing to help me with customer disputes nor to advance my business. In fact, eBay and PayPal's customer service and the "new and improved" buyer protection is completely responsible for tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue for us due to the system being implemented nearly immediately with no notification and no time to switch over to it. Buyers don't even contact us as sellers anymore. I can't even list items anymore since my account is limited!! Awesome! I make sure to tell everybody of my horrific experiences (11 year member) with eBay and tell them to AVOID it at all costs.

*NEWS FLASH* I could buy an item from any person on eBay right now, "Claim" it's broken when it's technically not, effectively stealing ANY item from ANY seller! The system is COMPLETELY flawed. A company worth millions doesn't care at all about their seller base, but I'm not concerned. Soon enough the decline of eBay will be obvious to their management and change will undoubtedly come."

"Over years I've had mixed experiences with eBay. The way they operate is unique and different from other online stores. As many reviewers already mentioned, if buying from, or selling to a reputable party, then problems are rare. Nevertheless, the eBay is full of all kinds of scams as well. Understandably, it is impossible for the company to keep everything under control considering their business model, but to me, they are obviously unable to offer the same level of service as some other merchants in their league. The company's customer support is poor. Their rules and regulations are often vague. If things go wrong for any reason, the company does not possess as good mechanisms as other online sellers to resolve those issues. Clearly, eBay is far from reaching the level of reliability and reputation that other big players in the game have. For all these reasons, eBay is good for small, low risk transactions. For other deals, personally I would avoid them."

"Let me add my voice to those thousands of reviews out there warning others of how bad ebay is. Rumours abound of the contempt ebay has for their customers. No customer service to speak of - I've never received a response to any emails. this is what happens when we have a monopoly run by the kind of people that run ebay."

"I purchased a 32 gb flash drive and found the item was fake. I filed a dispute with ebay. The site has been updated saying that I need to send the item back, but there was no instruction on how to send the item or how I should update the tracking #. I tired contacting the customer care, its a night mare. I called them 3 times and I was on hold for 1+ hour but I did not get to any customer care guy.

you cannot tell if an item is real and fake in ebay and there is no support for customers.
I am not going buy anything from ebay in future.

"i received my panasonic camera camera last week from US seller on ebay. he was so good and price is half cheaper. I am so happy with eBay. Massimo T. / Milano - ITALY"

"Seller did not ship goods and I filed a complaint. After playing the typical "save the seller" FleaBay game, I finally got a refund of 30% of the amount paid and the complaint was closed without me being a party to that action.

I'm done with the SOBs but, unfortunately, there will always be those flocking there who think they're getting a good deal."

"Always enjoy using ebay to find good deals. I have never had any problems with the products I purchased through ebay."

"Excellent uniform, and a good price."

"Everyone knows eBay. It's the best site for deals on used items in the world. The buyer and seller protection policies and the PayPal integration make dealing with people around the world safe and easy. I check eBay daily, and always find awesome deals."

"I have really gotten into the habit of searching eBay first when looking for products. Living in a small town makes it hard to find everything you want in a brick-and-mortar. I have successfully completed over 45 transactions through eBay/paypal over the last 2 years and I have NEVER had an unpleasant experience.
The onus is on the BUYER to pay attention to what the seller is offering. LOOK AT SELLER RATINGS!!! A seller with 10K+ transactions and 99% positive feedback is usually a safe bet. Don't buy the crap from China (you can change options to only show items in North America.)

Common sense is all that is required to have a fun & pleasant experience on eBay. Every buyer I have dealt with has provided me with exactly the products & service they promised.

No complaints from this guy, and anyone feeling cheated should blame only themselves. "

"First class operation with world class service and sellers."

"I bought a guitar amp and received it broken. Between paypal and ebay I got screwed out of my money and never got a working amp... they suck."
