Sooooo.......why did you buy from them in the first place?

If they are a Chinese seller, they seem to be a protected group of sellers, but if people continue to purchase REGARDLESS of all the red flags, then it just keeps these guys in business.

Can you give us any item number of something they sell?

eBay do only look after buyers, with a few special sellers excluded

Sellers in China, as mentioned

What did your feedback say? Did it mention a dispute?

Can you provide a link to them comment you parroted about people leaving eBay by the hundred?

Did this seller not have all these negs before you bought?

Do you believe buyers have zero responsibility to check who they are buying from before they buy?

If buyers stop buying from dodgy as sellers, they would soon go out of business

why oh why did you buy from them with so much negative feedback.

why oh why do people inflict this pain upon themselves.

why oh why blame Ebay for something that the red flags must have being waving you in the face.

why oh why?

sugar249, I wonder this at odd moments, such as when I'm mowing the lawn and grass splatters onto my prescription sunglasses.

"Why oh why do they buy, buy, buy

from such red-dot sellers on eBay?

Why oh why do the grass seeds fly

and give hayfever suffering on this day?"

I shall strum a guitar and sing about it while coughing and feeling miserable.

Your ditty sounds much better then my ramble. LOL

Your ramble inspired my ditty, so we should probably share the royalties...

OP, I don't purchase from large-volume sellers on eBay who have lower than 99.5% feedback as a rule. I hope you can purchase more safely in future.

well i watched a programe on TV 2 years back and an Ebay worker said they were down 5% people were leaving at an alarming rate, you only have to go on to Facebook market place there are virtually many thousands of people selling and buying stuff because they are sick of getting ripped off if sellers keep getting protected you will keep loosing buyers full stop

Usually feedback is removed if it breaks some rule, like being abusive or also mentioning a dispute. Apparently, even fb mentioning delays is removed now (because of COVID) if the tracking proves that the item was posted promptly and it is not the seller's fault if it is late.

Re: Re Seller

sandypebbles — Sun, 28 Nov 2021 02:27:01 GMT

Very very few sellers are protected

Most of the time when a buyer is 'ripped off' it is because they make the choice not to use the numerous tools available to protect themselves

And the complain about the result

Re: Re Seller

papermoon.lady — Sun, 28 Nov 2021 04:10:27 GMT

At any rate you have to pay attention on Facebook too, as there are ongoing scams, in particular scammers impersonating eBay Motors and asking people to pay by bank transfer.

-----------------

Feedback being removed in large quantities like that isn't something that usually happens.

I don't know what is going on but it isn't typical for most Australian sellers.

I have heard of it happening very occasionally though. Very strange.

Facebook marketplace isn't booming though because people are sick of being ripped off on ebay. It's a completely different online platform. I've found myself browsing it a lot lately & it has nothing to do with me not liking ebay. It's because it is so convenient. You go in to check posts by friends and when you have done that, with one click you're then in marketplace and you don't even have to type in any searches, it just fills the screen with the sort of things you have recently browsed. And a lot are automatically from your area. It's great. No wonder it has taken off.

But the descriptions can be completely inaccurate or missing on detail (more so than any ebay seller would dare) and don't believe there are no scammers there, a friend's son had a phone stolen by one of the people who responded to an ad which I think he had up on facebook. You have to take care everywhere.

But you didn't get ripped off. You got your money back, so buyer protection worked for you.

What other hoops do you expect eBay to jump through to retain your custom?

2 years back - hardly relevant to today, especially with COVID.

Oh god…..

where do these people spring up from! 🙄

Sometimes, there just isn’t enough crayons!!

Re: Re Seller

sandypebbles — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 23:36:58 GMT

We know who has all the crayons

Looks as if they took a colouring in holiday

Luckily one of the crew remain to keep the anti vax, no facts rants alive

Crayons, I want crayons. Where can I buy them? Ebay or Facebook marketplace? It would be preferable that I was at risk of being ripped off, but that's just me.

Hope all is good with the floods Janey! I'm so glad we don't have a river.

You can make them out of the crusts of Keto scones that didn't make the grade.
