Hey everyone, I have to vent about an absolute NIGHTMARE I’ve been experiencing with eBay lately. It’s beyond belief! Picture this: I had nearly **$500** sitting on my eBay gift card, ready to treat myself. But overnight, my entire gift card balance DISAPPEARED from my account! Just poof—gone. 😡 I had just bought another item for nearly $400, and now I'm stuck unable to pay the seller because of this disappearance. I can’t even express the frustration I felt as I frantically contacted eBay customer care multiple times. I’ve spoken to several representatives, and let me tell you, none of them were remotely helpful. It’s like they were reading from a script and had no clue about my situation. Some were even downright rude when I called out their awful service! It’s been DAYS since this incident, and I have received ZERO communication from eBay about what’s happening. Today, they finally decided to tell me they’re hiding my gift card for “security reasons.” Really, eBay?! After pressing them for answers, one customer service officer finally asked me to submit proof of purchase, email details, and all that nonsense. OF COURSE, I complied, but where’s my money??? Honestly, it seems like eBay is using sneaky tactics to keep customers' hard-earned money. This disappearing gift card balance smells fishy to me! And don’t get me started on their so-called **promotional vouchers**—you buy an item, thinking you’ll snag a discount, but suddenly, when you go to check out, the voucher code disappears! It’s completely maddening! I feel like eBay is playing games with us. If you’re experiencing similar issues or if this sounds all too familiar, beware! We need to look for alternative selling platforms where they don’t pull these shady tricks. I just wanted to share my story to warn others. Let’s spread the word about these ridiculous practices! Check your gift card balance regularly, Stay vigilant, everyone! George from Ebay Australia
