I have won an item where a bid was placed 2 seconds before the end of auction from an unknown bidder with no previous bids on the item. This bidder bid an identical amount to mine, raising the price EUR85 in one bid, where all previous bids raised the price in much smaller increments. This bidder also has a track record of placing a single bid within the last hour of bidding on many other auctions associated with this seller. I have requested that the seller explain this action, and compromise a sale with me. I have also reported the action to eBay using their report forms but am aware they can not inform me of an outcome. Now I have been issued with an "unpaid item" case requesting payment within 4 days. What can I do?

When I try to bid for a item from a certin seller, a message comes up that I can only put 1 bid in every 10 days? Ive never had this problem before.

Sometimes a bid seems to be made on the second the auction closes and is says words to the effect, Private buyer , what does this mean?

HI, I have bid this item but just after that I realize it wasnt my size, the thing is I won the item but I cant pay it, not my size. I have spoken to the seller to cancel the buy, but I dont think he is happy to do it. What do I do know?

I am so sick of paying immediately, but having to wait until after I have left feedback as the buyer before the seller bothers to leave my feedback.......or they don't leave it at all and I have to chase them down to do it. If I have the decency to pay immediately. Then ebay should have then leave immediate feedback ....... afterall my side of the transaction is Complete.

some bidders appear in bid history as private and no info available how is this achieved, to protect one identity from other bidders on that particular item?

p/u ONLY item, but the location is too broad (ie: Melbourne,VIC) How can I contact the seller to confirm location before purchase?

Two months ago I didn't have any problem to commit buying an item, and hold a while without paying it, because the need to contact the seller if I have any question about combine postage. Then, two days ago I tried the same method to buy several things from one seller. When I contacted the seller, he said there is no submitted order for the items I want. And when I checked my "AWAITING PAYMENT" list, there is not a single item listed. Here is the method I tried: 1. added items to my shopping cart 2. proceed to checkout 3. review my purchase 4. continue to paypal login 5. contacted the seller Did I miss a step? Anyways, because the seller offered to sell it outside ebay due to the failed method, I agreed to pay him through paypal. So even if this transaction not recorded by ebay, I hope if there's anything wrong in the future paypal can still secure my transaction.

Bought something 2 weeks ago and still do not have it, was marked as posted on the 29/6 (Sydney to Melbourne). I have messaged seller, and got no reply, so I wanted to start PP dispute, only to find that the link next to my item in my purchase history, is not there? I was able to open dispute after logging to PP, but the things you have to tick do not seem to relate to anything. For instance the first choice is: 1 - I have not authorised this transaction 2 - I have a problem with this item I can see how many people who have not received an item feel they cannot tick the second option.

Hi I bought a maternity body pillow from a major powr seller, when it arrived the content of feathers was very low and any pressure on the pillow just flattened it. The seller insists I cover al postage costs, I understand that I have to pay for retuning the item but why when something is not as described do I have to cover the original postage fee (it was free postage) as a re-stocking fee (sellers own words). Surely if an item is not as decribed as in the ad or pic should the buyer lose out. I also paid at their request direct bank deposit and have missed out on buyer protection of paypal. Any ideas or comments welcome. Thanks5377frances

When I went to put it together I found the parts did not match the sellers photos. On further research I found that some of the photos the seller used came from another Ebay like website. Is it a breach of policy to use photos that do not belong to the seller but have come from outside of Ebay?

olnalra

are there delays in mail, probably small packets coming from the UK..I am waiting for 5 things, all different sellers and all posted between 19/6 and 26/6 which haven't arrived yet.

Hello, are you able to buy ebay vouchers for gifts for ppl who want to buy what they want from ebay and spend it as they like?

After having a problem with a seller that went on for 2 weeks before being tired of the whole thing I gave them a negative feedback. Now 2 weeks later they have come back to me and the problem has been resolved. Can and how do I reverse the feedback to a positive for them. cheers Adrian

I have bought an item and the seller insists on Paypal payment within 3 days of auction end. However, I can't get to pick it up until the weekend and I'm sure there is be no Paypal protection on a pick up item if it is not as described. I would like to pay cash when I see the item. They say they are happy to cancel the sale if I don't want to pay with Paypal before pick up. The seller insists that they offer Paypal protection. They also offer COD or bank transfer. Is it dodgy and should I agree to a cancellation?
