EBAY IS A SCAM

[qazpolwertrip]

I dont get my item I cant get my money back
there is no way of effectivley contacting ebay.
ebay is a legaised scam.
ACCC will not touch either paypal or ebay because "they're a private company"
so as far as the toothless tiger is concerned ebay is above the law.

Everything you have posted is BS.

No doubt like so many you haven't read the rules of eBay before buying or selling.

And seeing as you have already made up your mind, I can't even give you the advice to get your money back.

You should have come here for advice on getting your money back instead of raving and ranting. You have made up your mind, so no need of anyone's help.

I see

So you followed the correct procedures

Opened the correct dispute in time in one place at a time

Don't have the help tab on every page with all the different contact options

etc etc etc


Good idea to not use it

So long

problem is this doesnt always work!!!

I have followed the rules, but also been burnt by ebay and paypal, by them siding with a seller,,,

But ebay is burning too many people these days, allowing too much rubbish on the site and with facebook selling taking over it is gonna hurt them

I'd like to know when ebay has ever sided with a seller. That would be a moment in history....

• The building of the Berlin Wall
• The sinking of the Titanic
• Ebay sided with a seller
• The Great Fire of London
• The first man in space
• The outbreak of the First World War

Yes, but it does happen, I have my very own moment in history story. About 2 years ago both ebay and paypal sided with a large business seller about a product which arrived defective. It was a piece of furniture and I wasn't going to get a full refund unless I shipped it back at my own expense, the cost of which was going to be close to the value of the actual item. I was offered a very small partial refund, and told to keep it, which I accepted, but wasn't happy. 

I think I lost my case because this was a big long term seller.

You need to be a bit more specific. details of what you bought/when/how you paid/what happened.

Then someone might be able to help you out with ideas.
