Several Issues- what are my options?

I've never posted here so hopefully am in the right place. It's been a while since I've had issues with purchases so I don't recall what Ebay can and can't help with and how to even request help.

My first issue is buying a couple of items advertised as "perfect" and "brand new" that were not. Can ebay help in this case? How? If they did would my only option be a return or could they help me work out a partial refund?

Also, is there a way to report a seller who's reply to my feedback is false? Such as pretending they don't know what I'm talking about or that I'm lying?

Ok 2nd issue, how do I handle a seller not paying enough for shipping? I've had to pay $10 recently to receive a parcel. If the seller doesn't respond, what's my next step?

3rd.. in a recent purchase the seller messaged a couple of times for the next 2 days after sale saying they haven't received my money and they won't ship it until they receive my monies. That sounds pretty logical of course, but I've never had this happen to me. As a buyer only I've never even thought about how long it takes for sellers to get paid! I always pay immediately and just assumed sellers could see that. I've explained to seller that ive paid already and that's about all I can do. So my question is.. how long does it take for a seller to get their money? It has only been 3 days now, but the situation is stressing me out.

Thanks in advance!!

It's up to you to do your due diligence and don't sweat the small stuff. If you have minor issues, couple of marks, a screw missing, deal with it yourself. If as you say you do your due diligence, does a cheaper price trump good sense? And don't insult me because you didn't get the answer you were looking for

Hi thank you for your reply.

I always check out the sellers before I buy.
Your advice is understandable, but totally against the whole purpose of Ebay. Average people selling their unwanted goodies to other people is what ebay is all about and why it started.
If anyone has any answers to my initial questions and not just personal opinions about me that would be great!

You do do you?

 

The only thing you're checking out is the lowest price. You buy Chinese junk often from sellers with hundreds of unhappy customers, you're often unhappy, unless they refund, then you're happy ๐Ÿ‘ 

 

Rinse and repeat. Same behavior, same outcome. You are the common denominator. The last neg you left ruined that seller's perfect record. Was that really necessary? Do you run around in real life with big red dots. I'll bet you leave a lot of google reviews ๐Ÿ˜‰

Well thanks for the heads up. I blocked you days ago

 

Not that you'd be buying from me. I'm a bit over your budget and don't live in China

Geez dusty, enough with the passive aggressive comments. You're carrying on like a spoilt 16 year old.

Just speaking the truth, very different to being passive aggressive. 

As for behaving like a 16 yr old, at least I don't speak like an 85 yr old farmer. My apology, just come from reading your dial up comments, bragging about outdoing the neighbours with what was it 20 MB? hahaha

The other thing I do is mind my own business. Wanna try it? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm finding the feedback a fun read though. Go back 7 pages and 44% of purchases the op had issues with. But the real gem was found on page 8

"The product sucks, but was cheap"

 

I rest my case. You can drag a horse to water....
