over charges for selling fees, etc, etc 2 seconds ago
I’ve been continuously over-charged for selling fees , detailed statements never make sense nor add up to what they deduct from my (required) paypal account.
They come up with poorly or non-explained feedback ?policies, rules,???
They are almost IMPOSSIBLE to contact in order to resolve problems -forget about speaking with them through the phone; you just get told to call back at another time.
On and on and on!
Who are they? Ebay, Paypal, GE Financial, the marketing regulators of the world commerce system?
I don’t know, but it seems that they (see above) are getting away with a lot of in discrepancies.

holding my money 13 hours ago
Ebay now requires buyers to pay with paypal. (is this a conflict of interest?) To make it even worse; Paypal is holding funds paid by ebay buyers for 21 days or until feedback is left by same.
This is an outrage. This money does not belong to ebay or paypal. It belongs to me. Sellers pay the fees for both paypal and ebay not buyers. Further this forces me to pre-pay for the shipping costs and only afterwards will I get my money back. I am not a bank! Why should I have to pay upfront for shipping? Shipping costs can be very substantial. Is ebay and paypal paying interest for the use of my money and for the money I spend to ship items?

Ebays New Feedback System Should Be Illigal 1 day ago
As a seller for ebay from the very beginning I feel number one that we should have been offered stock options. We are the backbone of the company. Recently My feedback score of 98.1% got me kicked off of selling for ebay. They say that my CDC score, the five point additional rating system they put in place is not up to standards.
Hmmmmm all good feedback but my s/h star which I include in every sale is only 3.9 so I cannot sell any longer. They just want a cut of the s/h which are my expenses and they don’t deserve one dime of the cost. I am sickened by ebay’s practices and have taken a very hard finantial hit due to their new practices. HELP ! I want to be a part of this for many reasons – Unfair Neg feedback and all the junk that is a part of the ebay world today.
Sincerely,
DezzyRay

I feel your pain 4 days ago
The truth is Ebay doesn’t care. I’ve been an Ebay Trade Assistant with an actual brick & mortar Ebay store for over 5 years. Ebay’s made alot of money from my thousands of sales but they could care less. Pulled items given no reason at all, then reinstate the pulled auctions with no apology, then pulled the same auctions again. Tired of the “Trust & Safety” run-around. If there’s a lawsuit against Ebay… I WANT IN!

Previous Seller 6 days ago
I was accused of selling counterfeit items, that I originally bought on ebay, with no real justification or explanation. In addition, I can’t access items that I have bought, to ensure that I received them all.

Account restricted for false copyright violation claims !! 1 week ago
We’re an eBay powerseller. Have been selling on eBay for 4-5yrs and 2 yrs with our current account. Have 100% Positive feedback and a total of 3 neutrals. We’ve known that eBay’s customer support is non-existent but the past year has been the worst ever… not only is there no support but now ebay is attacking their own customers!
In the past week we’ve had 3 auction listings canceled by eBay saying that the manufacturer contacted eBay that our listing contained copyright infringement. Seeing as how we take our own photos with our camera and handwrite each description – taking care that all facts about the product are stated but not copied directly from ANYONE’s website, I cannot understand in what way we could possibly be violating someone else’s copyrights… if anything they are violating MY copyrights for claiming that my photos and/or description are theirs???!!
We contacted eBay for the first cancellation and we were put off saying that we need to contact eBay’s trust and safety department via email, but ultimately it is our responsibility to have the manufacturer who supposedly reported us contact eBay and tell eBay that they made a boo boo and then we might be able to re-list the item. Believe me we took extra special care in all our listings since that bogus claim was made. Then the 2nd one came yesterday. Called eBay and refused to hangup until we actually spoke with a live person from this so-called “trust and safety” department. I demanded to know what was the “copyrighted” material that was being reported and eBay stated that they do not keep records of that sort of thing. I told them how can they cancel my auction if eBay does not even bother to verify the validity of these claims, they told me they work very closely with the manufacturers and that it is out of eBay’s hands it is up to the manufacturer.
I told the eBay person that we pay $2,000+ a MONTH to eBay and Paypal on fees and they are just going to take someone at their word – someone who is totally UNRELATED TO EBAY (as far as I know) and cancel my listings and restrict my account as if I’m some kind of criminal? And the 3rd listing was canceled this morning. 2 out of 3 listings were already sold at the time they were taken down. I swear that someone either another seller or the specific manufacturer is targeting us… sees us as competition and knows they can get rid of us simply by reporting a copyright violation through eBay. And there is NOTHING that eBay is going to do about it except suspend our account.
While on the phone with the eBay person, I responded that I was sick of listing “limitations” that restrict specific sellers from selling too many of a particular item (eBay even said this is not in their policies but everyone has to abide by this WTH?!?) sick of limits of shipping charges in particular categories (so what the seller has to eat the cost of shipping if the item takes $15 to ship instead of $10?), that I would take my business elsewhere. eBay person said in a matter of fact voice like they say this all the time (sorry to see you go).
Like another someone said, we’ve had our powerseller status downgraded for no apparent reason, and have suffered somewhat on our shipping charge ratings even though 95% of our listings come with free shipping… I’m sorry but if you offer free shipping the buyer should not be able to rate the shipping charge option at ALL.
I was fired from my last job for taking maternity leave, and after several months of searching eBay was our best option for keeping food on the table and the lights on. Supporting a family of 4, with 2 kids ages 1yr and 4yrs solely by doing business on eBay. This random “reporting” just because someone doesnt like the competition threatens my family and there is NOTHING we can do to stop it =(

EBAY IS TURNING INTO SCAM BAY 1 week ago
First the fees do nothing but go up with ebay,then with paypal, now I get this DSR pop-up saying I cant list becuase my shipping rating is under 4.1. This a totally garbage. I have a 403 rating with nothing but positive feedback. My account has always been in good standing, with policy, complience, etc. Time to look for a new aution site. E-bay puts nothing but these garbage polices together now. Who thinks of these. I would love to go to there headquarters and talk to these clowns.
