  • I HATE ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scam Alert

    Don't use it. I hate ebay with a passion. The last 8 or more (too many to count things ive tried to sell have either been a scam, fake ebayer, or stolen account. I had a set of tires on there, $300, bought but fake ebayer. I once had an ebay store but ended up losing hundreds due to these scams.

    I had a monte carlo on there - fake cashiers check

    Put it back on - fake ebayer

    put it back on - non paying buyer

    Put a toyota tercel - bought and never communicated

    the toyota went on a couple more times b4 i gave up

    and the latest, the ipod that i got.

    I sold it to someone who had 100% feedback. Paid with paypal and had a confirmed address, and account. She asked me to ship it to china for her sons birthday present so i figured, ok what could it hurt. shes a confirmed paypal member and has a good ebay record. Well come to find out, after i shipped it, paypal put a hold on the money and ebay deleted my listing. They said the account had unathorized activity.

    So for those who sell on ebay, don't lol. If you still want to risk it heres some tips other than the one stated above:

    1. Get the money and wait a couple days to see if its for sure.

    2. Dont ship it out of the country ( i shipped something to mexico once and it never made it. post office said theyve had problems with people stealing the mail)

    3. Only take cash in person or paypal.

    4. Investigate/delete bidders that have less than or no feedback. (theyre usually fake)

    Hope this helps anyone.

      ^^ agreed..

      I don't have any experience selling on ebay but i'm sure it can be a pita. I don't understand why all the idiots think it's funny or fun to screw with people. I haven't had any problems with ebay, but i've always been the buyer, not the seller

        ive done a couple hundred of transactions on ebay myself, and i have nothing but good things to say about it.(except one person who i think just broke something i sold to them so they could get a refund, then they never sent the item back) i think the reason you have bad luck is because you were selling cars, which is probably one of the most likely categories to have cheats in.

              Ebay Sucks. It's good for small purchases, that's about it.
