Hi Ebay family it finally happened to me I got scammed along with a few others I saw leaving negative comments on the sellers page yesterday. I am unable to ask ebay for a refund as its not long enough to make a claim yet. I looked this morning and the sellers account is gone. Has anyone experience this before when trying to do a refund and the seller has removed their account.

I was trying to bid for some books in the UK but when I was about to bid this message appeared: "Problem with bid Unfortunately, this item cannot be posted to Australia. But don't give up just yet - find similar items offered by other sellers. (5010)" I have to add that the way I look for these books is using ebay UK then save the searches I want to bid, automatically they are added in my ebay AU watchlist. I do this because ebay AU cannot show me the listings that are UK only. In the past, I could bid for them with no problems using my ebay au account and if I won the bid, the seller could modify the postage allowing me to pay for the item afterwards, but today I was shocked that I'm no able to bid at all. Anyone has an idea of what could change? Thanks!

The light switch on their Ebay page shows a Matt black switch in the horizontal. WHat I received was a glass black light switch in the vertical. I have sent the seller an email request the correct switch as it is to match other Matt black switches already installed in my house. I have not heard back from them since sending the request about 5 days ago. Can EBay help. Regards David

The recent single package purchase consisted of two mains powered devices (a soldering tool and a de-soldering tool). Neither of which were delivered with power cords. I messaged the Queensland based seller, who agreed that the power cords were not sent. After discussion he is prepared to send EU power cords and AU plugs that I will have to get fitted (to replace the missing cords). However, he wants me to pay additional postage to NSW for these two replacement cords. In my mind, he should be sending the correct cords without charge. Am I wrong in thinking this?

The item is worth more than the bid went up to. I want to be fair to the seller

A return item was sent by registered post under another tracking number, not the one supplied by eBay. The seller denies they received it, although Australia Post confirms it was indeed signed for by the seller. How does eBay help in this circumstance when all efforts to find assistance through the eBay platform are met with the same case closed summary?

I was just wondering if you can pat for an item across (2) Credit Cards?

There are gps units on ebay that are sold in australia and apparently located here that won't actually work as they require 2g and 3g network which have been shut down. So why do ebay let frauduland items get sold on here. So don't buy GF-07 GPS trackers.

I purchased a rare miniature from a seller recently and when it arrived I found that it was made of resin, not the plastic that the model is meant to be made from, I requested a refund and am being told to pay for the postage to return it. There are no options anywhere on my ebay to contact support about it, or have ebay step in. What do I do? Also I found that they have sold many other copies of the exact same miniature, likely all counterfeit.

Trying to buy some children's art frames and the price quoted is AU $4.95 but when you select the colour of the frame price jumps to AU $ 35.99. Is this allowed.?

The gas cylinder of the chair that is under warranty is inoperative. The seller is proposing I pay $35 postage for the replacement items and that I then undertake the repair. The issue was reported to the seller on the 15th. March and remains unresolved. The seller sent me a link to what was to be instructions on making repairs. The link was not accessible. I don't see why the responsibility for making repairs is put upon the byer. The seller should take responsibility. An option would be to have a repairer who the seller has certified to undertake repairs. I am 69 years old, have arthritis and I'm not technically minded. In addition I have anxiety and depression and this muddling around is not conducive to my mental health. Can you please intervene and assist with a fair resolution to this warranty issue?

So after finding out this Marvellous Flip Phone for Elders is a 2G I cancelled the Afterpay and informed the Seller that I don't want it as its of No-Use to anyone . Its 2G which has been Obsolete since 2017 at least. They should'nt be selling this stuff in Australia. The Seller got back to me asking me to keep it and I'll get a 5% Refund. No I'm Not Takeing it and Will Return it. I should have been more Careful But Most of me e-bay experiences have been Honest and Successful. I would'nt even Dream of anyone selling a 2G Mobile phone. Now I'll have to Repair the Recharge Socket on my old Telstra Flip Phone. What are your Thoughts about this?

Hi I purchased a new microwave on Ebay in October 2022. It's now faulty. Not working flashing power. I contacted seller and they said send video of faulty item. I did that twice. Now no reply and my purchase doesn't come up in Purchase History only via original emails so I can't ask Ebay to step in. Can't find a general email for Ebay so I am lost. Do I just place a negative review to jolt the seller. Any tips. Thanks Greg

HI there, Does anyone have experience with following up eBay for a refund? I have an email from them that's over 10 days old in whicg they say the refund is under review and a decision is due in 48 hours. I incorrectly bought an item for $9,350.00 but stopped the transacction before the item was shipped. The seller was excellet and authorised the cancellation of the transaction. I'm now out $9350.00 and still waiting for my refund. How can I hurry eBay up to review and decide on the case? Thanks for the help.

I need a tax invoice with GST for tax refund but I can not find it anywhere on ebay... How can I do that?

I bought a doll from NSW. It was faulty. I initiated a 'Return the Item'. The seller accepted that, but I was sent an address in China (which can't be located on a map either). Also, I got an Ebay notice that the seller can't send a return post stamp(?). I've messaged the seller about this. If they really can't issue a return post stamp(?), then, Ebay policy states the seller is responsible for return postage, which can be forwarded first, or, pay postage with the item refund. What would be the best, safest way to accept that payment up front if they agree?

Why are you allowing these lowlifes to sell on ebay claiming the item is in Australia when it's in China. We all can buy direct from China for half these prices and faster delivery. GREED is the drive behind eBay as it seems. Let me guess, you weren't aware this is going on. It seems after being a member of eBay as a buyer and seller for 15 odd years will have to move on to another platform as now there's no common sense or decency in your company.

More Knowledge. More Possibilities.
