You will never believe what someone sold me on ebay.

Well not exactly the same but I did buy something earlier in the month. It was a buy it now and I read the shipping carefully because I hate when people don't ship but once a week (usually they state when they will ship). They stated the days of the week they shipped. So according to the listing they lived in the same state. I figured that my item would go out on the next shipping date so a week later I emailed the seller to ask for the date that my item was shipped. They responded with this "your item will be there soon". That's all they said. I thought, what an idiot I asked for a date not a guess as to when my item will be here. So 9 days later still no item and I contacted seller again, because the seller was a 4 hour drive away. I told them in the email that if my item didn't come on the tenth day and they didn't respond to my email I was filing a claim with paypal. The seller didn't respond and the tenth day came sill no item. I opened a dispute with paypal and paypal tried unsuccessfully to contact the seller. The seller never responded. Finally, after almost 20 days my item arrived. I never would have believed it if I didn't see with my own eyes but it took 10 days to arrive from the post mark on the envelop. The seller actually did send the item but had no interest in telling me the date that it was shipped nor did the seller care that I had not received my item. I left that seller feedback stating that because I think he was a bad seller. I sell on eBay a bit and I email the buyer as soon as the item is shipped to let them know, and to contact me if the item doesn't arrive in reasonable time. I also leave it on their feedback just in case they don't get the email. I also ship my item almost as soon as a few hours after the auction ends because this is the way that I would want to be treated if I was the buyer. I hope you have better luck the next time you buy. There are some really good sellers on eBay but there are also BAD sellers.

That's awful. I'm glad the seller was removed.

I didn't buy anything on ebay so far. I was looking at so many things but I was chicken to try. I like to touch things before I buy, so I like to go to regular store first. I may buy things online, but I prefer legitimate place.

well...i didnt do much shopping with the Ebay but for electronics products i think theya are the best place to go...but bout other things i m not much interested becouse i have even seen some one selling some space on moon on ebay....can u believe that....if that was all.....some one has bought it too....

wow! Good thing she was removed there! I always buy at ebay and my husband too! We don't have any bad experience yet and we will always consider the number of transactions that the sellers have plus their feedbacks. If all positive we will go for it, we don't want to take the risk since we work hard for the money that we earn. Good thing you posted this for me to become more careful!

Oh! That is awful! I guess you can never be sure what you are buying that way, but some people are good. I guess you have to think about it this way... If we are going to buy something at a store, we are able to look at the area the store is located in, what kind of shape the building is in, and the kind of people who work there, and generally if our friends have shopped there etc. BUT on Ebay, the 'store owners' are the same kind of people you are standing next to in the grocery lines, at walmart, or generally could be any of the weirdos you see walking down the street when you are driving! Lol. I buy on ebay occasionally but I never have my heart set on getting what I want. In other words if I order a movie for my son, I tell him not to get his hopes up. It may come, it may not. It may work, or it may not. I also sell on ebay but even though I'm a nobody, I only sell things in the condition that I would like to buy it in. In other words, I look at my items and I ask myself: Would I buy this? And how much would I want to pay for it? It stinks when I buy something and get ripped off, but thankfully it only happened twice and all the rest of the good things outweigh the bad.

I have not bough anything from Ebay and have never bought anything from online so far. That sounds like a bad experience... and I think the seller already made some money out of the month. That's o bad that some people sell this kind of things online and I am glad to know that the seller is kicked off now so other wont get those stuffs. Have to be more careful when buying something online next time ^^
