eBay online shopping & selling

eBay is one of the worst platforms for sellers. Buyers apparently have all the power. You can prove they're lying via messages, and then they can lower your rating without even receiving a product. Why are buyers allowed to rate a product when it's been canceled for legitimate reasons. They will not back you as a seller. It's great if you're a buyer, but it's terrible if you're a seller. You have no protection, just the illusion of it. Be warned. I'm going to move over to PayPal and Mercari.

I can change notification settings now. I disabled notifications for ebay lives and I still get them! also I reported an item for manipulating search results, listing with the wrong item condition (i.e listed as "pre-owned" but the title and desc. say "for Parts&Repair") got an email saying the AI didn't find anything despite that the item name in the same email said "PARTS ONLY". yes, it's in all caps in the item name. How did this go over the AI's head?! Stop giving me tiny shipping labels!!

Great to buy on, horrible to sell on. I sold an item on here which was refunded to the buyer, but I never got my item back. Ebay said I owed them money for the refund, on top of me never getting my item back! It wasn't something cheap either. 6 months of constant phone calls later... Still stuck. And they're trying to get the debt collector on me. I have been as transparent as possible and made so many efforts to move this case. If you get scammed as a seller on ebay, they do NOT have your back.

I’ve been selling on eBay for about three months now in the beginning I was really excited because I love Thrifting and finding chosen treasures and helping other people find their treasures as a result! Being out of work, a big part of the motivation for me was also that I need some income. in the beginning, there was a learning curve as far as what I sell the item for versus what I get in my bank account and win. It claims that it’s a 13 to 15% fee depending on the items and I was charging the customer shipping and I only ever listed the items in a way that according to eBay, it was meant to be free. Over the course of the last month however, eBay has multiple times claimed that I am indebted to them somehow and taken money out of my bank account including overnight last night to the tune of three different debit transactions. I genuinely don’t understand why and they’re most certainly not paying me as much as they claim to have according to my sales year to date versus my bank account and I’m so defeated and frustrated by the whole system the second I find employment again I don’t know that I’ll buy or sell on eBay when interacting with others and they’ve asked me what I think of it I’ve been perfectly honest with them and told them that I eBay is robbing me. Unless you’re selling items daily, it most certainly is not amount of income that is in anyway sustainable.

I’ve been buying and selling on eBay a long time and love it, there’s one feature I wish they had for sellers though that I’m surprised they don’t - currently you can’t use a listing template for a new item on mobile, only desktop. I use templates for nearly everything to save a ton of time because my items are in the same category, same weight, same condition, and the base description is there. Currently I have to create a new listing from the template on desktop, save it as a draft, and then open the draft on my phone to upload the photos from my phone and finish the listing. I will say, switching between desktop and mobile when making a listing is pretty seamless, but if I could just list from a template on my phone I wouldn’t have to. Fingers crossed they implement this one day. Also as a buyer I hope for better keyword filtering options for saved searches, I get a lot of stuff I don’t want in my feed because of limited options..my searches end up being long strings of negative keywording that hits the character limit. Small personal nitpicks though on a stellar app that I love and use daily…I enjoy most of the new features and updates..especially the new saved search layout option that populates new listing photos from all your saved searches on multiple scrollable rows, it makes quickly browsing new listings so much faster. Keep up the great work eBay!

I have been with EBay for several years now ! I have enjoyed it the whole time ! I shop on here because I can find what I want and not have to get out on the road to go find it ! Not only do you have the convenience from shopping at home but a good chance it’s going to be cheaper ! Your not burning gas and your safer shopping from your own home ! I don’t have to walk down aisle after aisle either ! I just use my fingertip ! I just found an item here on EBay that I could not find anywhere ! I’ve made a few calls and was given different phone numbers and not one helped ! I got on EBay and found it ! Yea ... I was real surprised ! I admit I did contact them several times to see if it was the real pieces I needed ! They even sent measurements of the part and everything was exactly the same size ! I just purchased it and just so happens that this review popped up ! I had to do it because this last purchase was one that I thought would not happen after all the calling I have done and a lot of internet research ! I thought all that time looking for these parts that I was not going to have any luck ! I got on EBay and found it in about 5 minutes ! I purchased it and now I will wait for it to be delivered !
