These days it seems like ebay will do everything for sellers, including covering up bad business practices by altering/removing legitimate feedback, taking no action against sellers blatantly falsely advertising stuff, making it impossible to actually get the sellers contact info to hold them accountable and just generally fobbing off everyone that is not making them money.
This is why I use AliEXPRESS and dhgate and temu and ANY OTHER BLOODY WEBSITE i can these days, because ebay has gone to and think that consumer laws dont apply to them! At least I know where I stand with those other websites (they dont give a about me either, but at least they dont pretend to)
Do BETTER ebay or you will loose more and more market share over the coming years to competition that are not completely !
They steal Australian designers’ and artists’ designs and produce them in poorer quality for dirt cheap prices without acknowledgement or payment. I’d call that as bleepy as bleepity bleep. Do you not?
They produce the items with dangerous materials simply because the cost is as cheap as possible. Carcinogenic dyes, fabrics, plastics, prints, etc. I’d call that bleeped to the max. Wouldn’t you?
They impart your information to the Chinese government - your browsing, your purchases, what those purchases tell them about you and your family and social network and social media and ID (name, address, phone, type of payment, etc ) and from there they can piece together your politics and beliefs and what sort of online arguments and social media material might sway you and so on. Not bleepy? I consider it bleep bleep bleep bleep.
NB: All bleeps in this post were posted as just that - the letters B L double E P. They are not disguised profanity. 👼😇
No… I won’t be buying from Temu or AliEXPRESS or dhgate. I use eBay as and when I wish to, in the knowledge that I can choose reputable sellers - authorised Australian businesses, or European or American businesses etc - from whom I can buy with confidence.

·2 years agoMaybe you should read seller's feedback BEFORE you buy from them, the neg you left was for a Chinese seller with disgusting feedback.................

·2 years agoYou're hardly a regular eBay user. 3 feedback in 2 years. I can assure you eBay will not notice if you start non-buying here.

·2 years agoeBay is all about the buyer
Nobody from eBay is going to read your rant
Feel free to buy from whatever scammy website you want
And when you choose dodgy sellers in China (as you have done) , Australian Consumer law does not come into it
The seller you left the neg for clearly shows they are registered in China
Clearly shows how bad their feedback is (26 negs in the past month alone) and you supported them anyway
If you did not get the item by the estimated delivery date (which was shown before you purchased) did you open a dispute ?
Stop buying from dodgy sellers
