Chinese sellers!!

c_mount — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 04:31:57 GMT

Why are most China sellers allowed to scam on here? Why do ebay turn a blind eye?

Now we see a polethra of fake NRL jerseys from China! I report many of these sellers and fck-all gets done!!

Not only that, you buy something from a chinese seller, of which most listings have shipping times of upto 2months, so 1 month through the 'waiting time' for the item to arrive, youthen recieve a message from the damn seller stating the item was either not in stock, wasn't shipped or somehow got lost BEFORE the estimated delivery date! **FF$**?

Ebay you are destroying yourself. It used to be a great site. I hope a real alternative auction site emerges like ebay used to be 12 years ago.

No doogooder who wants to shoot me down neither bother to try. I want to reach out to those who share the same feeling and experiences please.

No need to shoot you down.

It's all been said on the PLETHORA of threads already on the boards.

Ebay don't care and never will

If people stopped buying all the carp from sellers registered in China,it would go a long way to stopping the scammers in their tracks

Ebay won't do anything, buyers don't want to bother to check where a seller is registered and nothing will change because of this

People keep wanting to keep buying of these sellers with pages and pages of neg feedback and then say they 'did'nt know'

Then the same people don't want to open a dispute in Paypal (six months to do that) when the items never arrive or arrive as fakes

You can thank all those folk for making it possible for these sellers to keep scamming,lying and getting away with it

That said, your post will not be seen by ebay eyes as they do not read here

One of the best things eBay could do is to only allow Chinese sellers list on their own eBay site in China.

Then local searches would come up first before all the International.

Maybe the more threads then Fakebay might do something? Then again....

Sure, if they read the boards

The very few times an ebay 'rep' has posted in here, they ignore the replies and comments because they have not been people nodding and smiling with what the rep has said

Off topic I'm afraid, but Kopes look what I found being used as a box for a 2 ton block and tackle at an farm auction yesterday.

On topic, you're wasting your time whining about Asian sellers c_mount, eBay Australia won't do anything and eBay China don't care.

And neither of them will see your multiple posts about the problem...........................

Ha, haven't seen one of those in ages.

Koral vand, direct translation means spring water.

Basically a flavoured mineral water produced by one of the Danish Breweries.

They sell for around 20-50 dollars for an empty case in Denmark. Kinda vintage now.

And as for the Chinese on eBay....................pffft.

Sorry to hear you are having such bad luck. I buy lots and lots from Chinese sellers with little problems. I am only buying cheap items and lately they have been arriving very quickly, many within ten days. Many of these sellers only have a feedback score of 98-99% positive. Most bend over backwards to please and are very quick to refund on the rare occasion that the item doesn't turn up. I don't know the types of things you are buying, but your experience is totally different to what I am encountering. There are items I definitely would not buy from China, for example, cameras, watches, electrical goods, phones, or anything that is expensive or could be counterfeit. So maybe it is the type of item you are buying that would attract the scam sellers. You should not stereotype all Chinese Sellers because of your bad experiences. I buy regularly from one Chinese seller that I have been dealing with for years, and she is the most reliable, nice, efficient seller that you could find, far better than some Australian sellers I have come across. There are scammers everywhere, in every race, in every country. I judge everybody on their own merits (or lack thereof)

Just a final note. I have had more problems with sellers from the UK.

I love my Chinese sellers. They are just trying to earn a living. They are honest and reliable. The VERY rare time I have a problem they bend over backwards to rectify. My sellers are high volume sellers that all have 100% feedback. One got a neg a few years back. Another got a neutral.

Please don't tar them all with the same brush. They aren't all bad. If you buy something for $2 and free postage, don't expect the same quality as what you'd get if you'd paid $200.

I also have had only good experiences with Chinese sellers. I think that you have to know what you are buying and stay away from items that may be copyright and trademark protected or you will have trouble.

Doing some homework on products will go a long way to stopping you being ripped off, and also keeping your expectations in check.

From your post it seems like you only want to hear from people who have the same views as you. That is not how this works.

i too have found chinese sellers much improved in recent times, hardly anything doesnt turn up.

i never buy anything super expensive from sellers with carp feedback scores.

i know when i buy the seller is chinese, i have a choice, buy or not buy.

often its pay $2 to a chinese seller and get free delivery or its pay $12 + PP to an aussie seller.

Chinese are the masters when it comes to counterfeit goods. If they can make money on it they will counterfeit it. If your a seller what might help is posting a guide to other buyers can be aware of what the genuine and what the fakes look like, and how to tell them apart.

Ebay my guides is quite handy. i did one years ago as the soccer market is flooded with fakes online and offline. Educating buyers with your experience will help future buyers to decide between quality and price.

Ebay is the shopping centre, and as long as everyone pays their rent on time they won't worry to much or have the time to monitor the millions of items sold in their mall.

Write an ebay guide, post up photos, let buyers know what the fake stores always look like, you might even have to buy one of their fakes so you can compare them.

Also contacting sports companies/ NRL or club teams helps also, they are loosing out dollars when ever merchandise is purchased and isn't official licensed merchandise.

You certainly have firsthand, hamfisted, experience at that.

You're part of the problem. You can't buy a genuine anything from chinese sellers, apart from made in china goods, and let's face it, the quality is poor. Your greed feeds the frustrations of honest buyers. That's all it's about....your profit. You, just spread the virus even further. I hope you feel proud of yourself.
