- Seller’s Beware…eBay motors is not out to protect you and they proved it to me. All us car guys sell parts we don’t use to buy parts we need and one platform to advertise our parts is eBay. Well eBay motors is not out to protest their sellers anymore
As a ebay member since 1999 I agree 100%.
1999 as well, and I've become disenfranchised with eBay. It all started with selling a working item, the video I took upon return and unboxing of the item showing it worked.
I am never selling another item on eBay because of this behavior.
I won't buy anything off ebay. Ebay has turned into crap with horrible rules and incompetent staff. Amazon is getting similar with the service declining!!
I used to use eBay, but they burned me for an incident with another individual and closed my account. It was a minor dispute and basically a misunderstanding between the two parties. I'd been online with them for years and had built up my score to a reasonable level, and they just decided to completely shut my account down. Their completely unbalanced and unjustified response appalled me as I've won court battles in the American justice system, so I understood the principles of arbitration, due process, etc. I immediately decided then that I was done using their service. eBay can go F itself. They're beyond ignorantly stupid. They closed my account down for one misunderstanding between parties. I haven't used their service for at least 10 years now.
@IndependenceIron I agree. I just recently purchased something from Best Buy because I didn't want to buy it from Amazon or Walmart...
🙄
I've only been a member since 2006 and yes, it is ridiculous and pathetic that they side with scammers as much as they do..... If nothing else happens for the rest of this year, Ebay will have cost me $273.86..... and if not for couriers taking photos when dropping off shipments at wrong addresses, that amount would be 3 times higher... Because they side most often with courier claims also..... USPS is by far the most often used delivery used by me and by sellers I buy from several hundred times a year, yet by FAR USPS more problematic as in courier fraud where orders will pop up as delivered and were not... Yet Ebay will side with USPS and no less than 7 times this year alone, an item Ebay had already closed my case in favor of USPS ended up being delivered 3-4 weeks later.... and several others that never came at all.... USPS doesn't take photos of delivery sites and I don't see how they could really, but for every year I have been with Ebay, I have maintained 100% feedback on every one of those years but one...... and it was 99.8% due to a skirmish with a scammer in 2016..... anyway... gotta take the good with the bad I guess... still more good, but it gets aggravating.
This is the exact reason I quit eBay over 5 years ago.
Amazon sucks
Criminals have all the rights - law abiding citizens have none.
Thank dims for that
Biden's America. People supposedly voted for this!
We have the 1st and 2nd amendments.
They have the right to enter in and get a prize
Almost like it’s set up that way on purpose.
I just got screwed as a seller on EBay recently as well. Their support is so biased towards buyer protection it’s disgusting.
Their support? You mean the $1.00 an hour overseas staff that read off papers they don't understand?
@@stevenhaffley9852 exactly.
look at it this way there are so may scammers selling junk with a different picture of the item or claiming its a new part and you get a used part, so it works both ways.
@@kennylavay8492 Doesn't matter what picture they take or what they send you, opening an item not as described case gives you 100% of your money back 100% of the time with 100% of the shipping paid by the seller meaning you are out 0%. It doesn't even remotely come close to working both ways, nice try.
I fooks not with e bay.
I agree. Their fees have also gotten insane. I hadn't sold anything in a couple of years until recently and that will be my last time selling with them.
ebay sucks now
Cash on collection no fee's if it is "withdrawn" because it's faulty..........
15% fees are insane? No lol
@@jackt6595marketplace is free
Same here and about at the same time. Their confiscatory rates for sellers is costly and increasingly prohibitive.
It’s such a shame, eBay allows you to reach so large of a market. I used to sell a lot on there but got sick of the fees and scams.
13% now I would rather just throw the stuff in the trash then give eBay a dime
I can almost guarantee you that the asshole that scammed you has already sold that grill for more than you got scammed out of. It's a very common tactic for these ebay scammers to rip off sellers by abusing the "Customer is always right" ebay policy just so they can get stuff for free and then immediately resell it, usually for more than they (temporarily) paid.
put a claim on him for the part
Id watch for it to go up for sale then take them to court.
Yeah they're too damn buyer biased and I tell them this fact
Yep! And hence so many zero-feedback buyers, as they they just keep creating new accounts, as all that is required for a buyer account is an email address. This way, they can hide the fact from Ebay that they pull these scams over and over again.
@maxwellihm5373
shit never works for me, even when they sell me shit that doesn't work i never get any satisfaction from ebay.
Makes me furious when eBay tells you to consider issues like this as “the cost of doing business”. They should be willing to eat the cost when their people screw up, but I guess they don’t have that cost of doing business.
I got burned so much on eBay. I shipped a fully built engine to Europe and got screwed the same way. Cost me like 10 grand. Pretty much ruined my business.
Do not sell parts international.
Repeat, do not sell parts international.
48 states only.
There is enough business right here at home.
@@5797029 well that guy was the only offer I had on that engine in 8 months. So I needed to unload it. And got burned.
@@5797029 EXACTLY: As I wrote in another comment here, I've been selling for 25 years on eBay, and learned over a decade ago to only sell to "the lower 48 States". Europe, especially Italy, is a bottomless pit of loss, theft and cheating.
I’ve been an eBay user for 20 years. I stopped selling on there a few years ago. I basically stopped selling parts. Craigslist is dead like you said. Marketplace here is just full of guys who want to get things for free or for so little that’s it’s not worth the headache.
I agree I used to buy a lot of stuff off Craigslist even from other states I will send money for said part I want. Now it's hard to find stuff on Craigslist anymore everyone kind of shifted to Marketplace which sucks because there search engine on there sucks and they don't respond back
That guy got free grill., so when you see him at event make sure you put foot thru the grill. . easy fix.
I've been an Ebay seller for over 20 years. Between the fees and cost of shipping, it's very rare for me to list anything anymore. I have a collection of parts that have been on marketplace for a few years now, because i can't justify the cost to sell on Ebay.
Right. I've sold on ebay with a price to justify the items value and with ebay's fees (13% this, 8% that). I don't even make 60% of the advertised price i sell and don't even get me started on the items ebay rejects me to sell because they thinks it's fake when its not. 🤦♂️
@@stevelozano9523 , I've sold $300 items and made negative profit because of shipping and fees ! I'm done !
Chris, my heart goes out to you for having to go through eBay hell. I quit selling because of their new policy even though I was right, the buyer lied and i was not made whole. If you lost $400 in shipping cost you should consider sueing in small claims court. They don't like negative publicity so they might just cut you a check. Your pictures and description tell the real story. Go after them!
Chris, I'm a coin guy. Old coins are to me what old cars are to you. You are 100% correct about eBay, it's a buyer's paradise and sellers are powerless. You would not believe the horror stories I could tell you about gold coins sold in good faith, worth thousands of dollars, which the buyer "returned", registered mail (so he could prove he sent a package). In it were gold PLATED replicas. Despite nearly TWENTY years as a seller, zero recourse. Anyone who sells on eBay is eventually going to be scammed. Most people are honest, but it just takes one to ruin everything.
I recently got screwed on eBay. Won an auction, paid immediately as I usually do. Seller refunded my money 12 hours later and put on the reason for refund ‘Buyer Requested Refund on Item’, which I most certainly did not. Seller didn’t get what he wanted for the item so ‘legally’ got out of the deal to try for more money. At least I got my money back but still.
I got accused of BEING the scammer. I purchased a spoiler for my 1987 Monte Carlo, listed as OEM, 3 day shipping. The seller, a big time ebayer in car parts, just never shipped it. I called him, and emailed him, and he assured me he'd get on it. Then he just stopped taking my calls. 6 weeks after the auction ended I filed a claim. Two days after I got my refund it arrived on my doorstep. They guy started blowing up my phone with messages. I offered to return the item, but at HIS expense, which he refused. Turns out it was a decently recast spoiler, but NOT OEM. Plus the mounting screws were in the wrong spot. 4 months later I relisted it on ebay, getting $60 out of it. He'd been stalking my ebay auctions, and alerted ebay to it and started calling me again.
That’s pretty common, another tactic, but similar is for the seller to claim the item was damaged on the way to the post office.
You didn’t get screwed in the same way this seller did.You are not out of pocket.
The seller loses,the buyer wins.
There’s a lot of that behavior on eBay, just had the same experience. Let’s face it, eBay has the market and they know it and aren’t afraid to take advantage
There's always been shady mofos but it's ridiculous now how many do shady shit like this.
I don’t sell on eBay because of these issues but I’ve had to return several of the last few parts I’ve bought because they were Chinese knockoffs of what I actually ordered. They were wildly different than the pictures. eBay slapped me with a “malicious buyer” penalty that can’t be appealed in any way. I was SO MAD because all I wanted was to get what I paid for and they called ME a malicious buyer.
Used auto parts are the worst for scams- I have been e baying for 20+ years and for car stuff I check the box that says "seller does not accept returns" I learned my lesson on a motor years ago- I sold a fully rebuilt motor to a guy and he claimed it was defective and sent it back. But what he sent was his old motor, figuring E-Bay would give him a refund based on proof of shipment. But I had included a lot of pictures in the add and one of them showed the engine number stamped in the block which did not match the number on the block he returned. Ebay sided with me and the scammer ended up paying the cost of the return freight on his junk motor.
eBay has turned into a total shit show. Returning faulty parts is even worse. I buy more from Amazon now just because returns are easier. But they are good at taking double $ out of your account.
Amazon is all knock offs anymore
maybe you should stop being so incompetent which is why you return things, it costs everyone more money. You think I want to pay postage to send you a part only to have you return it because you didn't do your research on fitment? Go hire a professional to work on your car, stop wasting people's time with returns.
@@stevenhaffley9852 I can see your point but I just ordered a carb off AMZ which was different than in picture and didn't fit, then I ordered a kit for another and the gaskets were wrong and different than the pictures. Amz has shit sellers.
Thanks for spreading the news Chris. You gotta' check out everybody and everything to protect yourself.
Why I hate selling used parts, people expect museum quality for junkyard prices.
That's any venue you try to sell on.
This guy is 100% correct, I had two similar situations, where they sided with the buyer, for no good reason. I've been selling on Ebay for 20 plus years, and I have 100% positive feedback. I did nothing wrong, and always describe any flaws in the items I sell, and they still sided with the buyer.
I feel you dude. The system is fucked
Sorry to hear about that Chris, eBay is setting their selves up for failure!
Ebay has been screwing sellers for 15 years, they know what they're doing. They'll be fine lol. Just don't sell anything there, you will get completely ripped off by their scammer friends, you'll pay 11.75% for the privilege, and ebay does not care, they will let you waste 2 weeks of your life trying to get it resolved and then they do absolutely nothing about it. Then they let the scammers keep ripping other people off forever, so those scammers are actually Ebay's partners imo. Ebay and their scammer FRIENDS are the ones making all the money.
Nah. All the Chinese stuff will keep them afloat.
@@dicky7600Not if everyone does what I do. Check out the description. Then, if it comes from China, don't buy it. If you can't find out the country of origin, look for one that says it's made in the US. Don't automatically assume that the product isn't from China just because they say that it ships from a US location. And try to find stuff that doesn't come California (China by another name). It usually takes longer to actually get on the way to you, in spite of being "shipped" the day you buy it.
Sorry to hear you got hosed! Thanks for turning us on to this info! Unfortunately, there's always that dirtbag out there that seems to get one over on you. I'd be willing to bet that it's happened to all of us at one time or another. I really wish you the best, as I've learned alot from watching your videos!
I recently bought a product from the other side of the country when it got to my local P.O. they broke it and threw it in the trash. ebay supposedly investigated and said "your case is closed, and you will not be receiving a rebate" $450. I called the C.C. card co. and they slapped the fed. res. coupons outta ebay and got my money back in 1 day.
Ebay is the scum .
Unfortunately is not just " that" buyer, there are loads of them doing it day after day. I think some do it as a " living" rather than actually having a real job.
I feel your pain! I was an ebay seller for well over 20 years and I got the ebay screw job several times so about 4 or 5 years ago I gave ebay the BIG TIME heave Hoe and now I am selling on my on my web site where my total monthly fees is right about $ 25.00, so to say, long gone are all the crazy ebay fees and all the other ebay BS! Bottom line ebay is a Dumpster fire.
I had similar issues with eBay. I do not deal with people with less that 50 positive transactions. And Thank-you for the parts I have purchased from your eBay Channel.
you cannot refuse to sell someone on ebay if it's a buy it now based on how much feedback someone has.
@@stevenhaffley9852 Yes you can, write in the description, of course they'll ignore it, but you can still cancel the order and refund the money.
@@stevenhaffley9852you can cancel any bids or purchases.
@@stevenhaffley9852 Like i said Steven to another one of your comments.... And NOT TRUE about not being able to sell to anyone with zero behind their name. Ive done it by canceling the order because its not in stock any longer, wink wink. Then I relist it a few months later, when ive relocated it. I may take a ding because of the unavailable inventory but im not risking a financial loss. Ive been selling on ebay for over 23 years and have a 100% with over 1400 reviews. So ive been around the block.
There are ways. I won't sell to a buyer with 0 feedback either
At this point I only buy or sell on eBay if I am willing to lose my money. What gets me is that I can often find NEW items for less than ppl are selling on eBay! Basically eBay is my last resort.
Dammit man. I have bought over 600 times on ebay but have not sold much due to time. But I recently listed some new John Deere extra parts at the lowest prices on eBay and never even had a hit in 5 weeks. None of it sold. I also do have a pile of car parts I need to sell. Hate to see it but looks like eBay has become worthless or even risky as a seller now. Thanks for sharing.
Exactly. After 20 yrs selling, my last batch of parts sat for 30 days on e-bay with just a few views and NO sales. Perfect quality vintage mopar parts , very fair prices. Dead as a door nail.
Hearing you is like Deja Vu . Been there with Ebay and scammers . Some of the scammers really can make up some whoppers but as long as they are potential buyers , Ebay is in their corner .
I stopped selling on eBay several years ago; it's been bad for sellers there for a long time now.
I will buy - carefully - once in a while on there, but never sell. I've been a member on there over 20
years and the changes have all been for the worse.
I prefer to buy/sell Mopar parts on my "home" forum these last few years (FBBO) or directly from
the retailer (Summit, Dan Brewer, etc.).
Just the way the world has turned. Got to protect yourself these days.

I used to be a Power Seller and that crap is what led me to quit selling on Ebay.
Sounds like you've been taken around the block and scammed, Chris. I've been through similar instances on eBay and yes, Scammers RUN eBay.
Run and ruin, apparently.
This is the exact reason that I ONLY sell parts on Craigslist. Ever since I ditched social media, it's pretty much the only avenue You can use to eliminate all the B.S, of some faceless, nameless corporation screwing You.
In person, cash in hand, no F ing way I ship anything.. If I can sell it, great, if not, screw it.
clist doesnt exist any more. nothing but bottom feeders and scams. fb no scams but all want it for nothing and no-one is driving for a small item. they do not work either.
I bought a lot of Craigslist cars parts, and cars and trucks themselves I've even sent post office money orders across 10 states for a part and of course I pay the shipping. Lucky I wasn't screwed out of my money . But I do talk to the people on the phone and ask the questions to see how they react to get a vibe before I decided to do it , and of course if they're okay with it. If I get a bad feeling when I'm talking to them how I say thank you and I'll see what I can do and hang up
Man im glad I just watched this. Ive been thinking about selling some of my parts collection on ebay but i can guarantee you I wont now. Ebay was the one place I was hopefull of having a good middle man if I had problems like this but ill do a local sale before I deal with issues like this.
I totally understand your hesitation, but i found a balancing between cost of goods vs shipping. Ive been burned with items where the scammer thinks you will not pay for return shipping. So my formula that has worked for me is 80 / 20 . If my item is selling for 500 i wont use any flat rate shipping of more then 100. So in other words, if i need to list a item where i believe it will cost 150 for this 500 item, then list it as "local pick up only". If the buyer, before the sale, asks about shipping then i will accommodate, sometimes BUT i have them pay shipping OUTSIDE ebay. This gives me control over refunding shipping or not. This tactic slows sales but i haven't been burned.
Thumbs up from another prudent ebay seller!
Yeah the scammers probably would target us beginners. I was thinking about selling some parts on eBay for the first time ever.
Thats exactly why I have lots of extra parts laying around. I refuse to get f..ked over.
Thanks Chris. Scammers and dumb butts on FB marketplace too!
You are so right about Ebay. After 20 years of selling on Ebay I know I'm going to get screwed by a Buyer but I keep selling on it because the good buyers out number the bad ones...so far.
I've been selling on eBay for 5 years I have ran into some very shit buyers In my rule of promise if the item is less than $50 Just give them the refund. It's not worth fighting. Occasionally you get screwed, but that is the cost of doing business with a stranger.
The IRS will come after you for a dollar amount of 600$ and over if you are a seller on E- bay according to the current tax laws . That's why I'm not a seller on E-bay , too much aggravation !
They put a hold on that new law for this year and it's increased to $5,000 for 2024
This is the sheet metal genius. Hats off to this guy.
The reason I stopped using eBay. I worked for one of the two big satellite tv company’s and would pick at customers houses for junk they had laying around. Taking it home clean said items up and put on eBay. Did really well for long time then scammers started mucking up the joint. Too bad cause it was good place to sell stuff
Don't feel bad ive had ebay for seventeen years with 50 plus things sold with a 1591 ebay score and they did that same thing to me. I sold a new $300 snap on rechargeable 3500 lumen shop light. And the buyer said it didn't work so i had to refund it. It came back smelling light burnt wires. Snap on went through it and the coded dates on the internal parts didnt match each other. But the sided with the buyer. A side note lol these people who scam obviously don't realize we know there address 😮
E bay just stole your grill. I won't deal with them.
I've been hearing more and more about eBay and 95 out of 100 it's not good. Was thinking about doing business with eBay but not any more. Totally injoy you and your channel.
😮
I only deal with face to face transactions.
I have had it with eBay.
Long long ago
I have had similar experiences, I don't even look at ebay anymore!
Soon they will only have the bad customers, many of us will never return...
This is why I hate selling stuff online.
I’ve been done with eBay for awhile, they sent me to collections for some thing they said I signed up for, I called them and asked, and they clearly said it was a mistake, but I would have to pay the outstanding amount..for something I didn’t do..I’ll never use eBay ever, again.
I rrecently quit eBay after 25 years over similar stuff
I also did after 12 years, F'K ebay.
i would post that scammers info all over social media make it well know he is a scammer
I wont support a company like Ebay that doesnt support me. That would be the last time i used them for anything.
I buy on eBay all the time, however, I don’t go through the hassle of selling on there. I’d rather just sit on the parts…
EBAY is bullshit they keep changing thier policies all the time, i came on in 2005 and i live in canada and bought all my model cars from the US and shipping was good back then it cost me 10 bucks now they only want too ship priority at 30 - 40 bucks and i also have to pay the exchange rate on top of that so i just plain stopped using EBAY , im on Disability and cant afford anything at those shipping rates. AS to your situation being a 10 year member and the buyer being a 0 ebay should have sided with you because with a 0 rating you could just use the site to scam lots of people and i bet this isnt his first time ripping someone off and we use too be able too leave a negative feedback but i guess apperntly not now that alone is BS. sorry chris that just plain sucks.☹
Unbelievable eBay done that to me too , screw them i refuse to ever sell anything on the POS site
I feel your pain....this just happened to me recently. I'm done with them. Plus you can't even leave these jerks a negative feed back.
This is the whole reason I never set up a seller account on eBay. It just doesn't seem worth the frustration. They're essentially the middleman for theft.
Same here I had reservations about doing it because of these reasons and this was 15 years ago. I'll buy off eBay but careful who I buy from but even with that I'll still can get jacked
Never ship a item to a buyer who has less than 50 positive feedback. Take the negative feedback hit. Never sell to a foreign buyer either. Again, just take the negative feedback hit.
Are you serious!? I'd pull all my items off of there . They make money off sales you make, then i'd no longer LET them make money off me. Hell, you have a pretty good following just sell them straight up with your viewers.
Its about impossible to deal with anyone, everyone seems to be out to screw everyone.
I have been selling on Ebay since the absolute beginning of Ebay. Sold many $,SSS,$$$.00 there. You are spot on. We are not small guys on there but have no more clout than a guy selling Bick lighters. We have had to accept losses to scammers and write them off which makes me madder than hell! Their customer service has been destroyed in the last few years (never was great) and they seem to go through trends where the buyer is always right. At this point it appears they really just want to be a distributor for cheap Chinese knock offs. We have heavily invested in our website due to Ebay, Amazon, and Walmart nonsense.
I try to find websites anymore when looking for parts. I just make sure they are a real business. If you don't list an address and business phone number, I'll pass on by.
I had a similar issue with selling on Ebay. I stopped selling there a few years ago because of it.
That sucks man.Stay local.All this online s..t opens up a whole new avenue for these people trying to get something for nothing
I've been down on the same Road you have been ,now I'm an ex eBay seller.. don't miss the stress at all
I used to sell on eBay but there was just so many scammers it’s just not worth it anymore.
I feel your pain. Sellers are only warm bodies for the eBay machine, doing THEIR work and getting boned in the a$$ without lube for our efforts. Been selling there for 22 years, and I'm going to just toss the rest of my parts. At least the landfill doesn't make me take my junk back. It was a good run on eBay. I made a lot of spare cash. I will have less headache/heartache without them. If sellers leave, they don't make ANYTHING. Short-sighted, bureaucratic, corporate buffoons, the whole lot of them.
This is one of the reasons I quit selling on Ebay. The other was them acting like shipping costs were something they should get a percentage of.
I uplift the shipping to cover the percentage ebay take. If buyer wants to collect then no issue.
When I restored my 68 super bee I got so many original parts on eBay, I couldn't have done it without it. People like this ruin a good thing
I got scammed as a buyer too. The seller sent an item that was not the item purchased, eBay said the fact that I received that was good enough, even though it was a worthless item in place of a several hundred dollar purchase.
That's not even remotely true, you are inexperienced, that's the problem, not ebay. Any buyer can open a "item not as described" within 30 days of any purchase on any item. You failed to do this, so you lost your money, that's your fault.
@@stevenhaffley9852 It's completely true. it was reported to eBay. They closed the case.
Yes Ebay only cares about completed sales by whatever means. They keep forgetting that without the sellers ebay wouldnt have a platform!!!
I don't sell on Ebay anymore for this same stuff. Love the commercials they are running how they are so dependable on Ebay motors. Craigslist will get you killed around Memphis where I live.
Completely agree. My wife and I shut down our stores after seeing this kind of nonsense.
I had the exact same thing happen to me, but luckily it was only on something cheap, like $25 or so. Since then, whenever something sells, I check the buyer’s feedback before doing anything. If they have no feedback, or if anything doesn’t seem right, I simply cancel the transaction, refund them, and claim that I wasn’t able to find the item, and then after a couple weeks, I relist it. I have done this twice since then. Much better to walk away and still have the part to sell later!
Then they will lower your account position
Sounds like I need to rethink my future plans to sell on ebay.
I'm with you. It used to be nice to sell stuff on eBay and parlay the money back into projects often also bought from eBay. I had almost the same exact thing happen to me 3 years ago. I was totally in the right , but evilbay sided with the buyer and just swiped the $ right back out of my PayPal account ( which I'm told they own) and I got the dick just like you did. I will not sell on there anymore , but I do still buy things. Its really gone downhill from the old days.
evilbuy used to own paypal,
but due to monopoly laws tmk they had to 'sell' the company off and distance it
yep i was right
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal#:~:text=In%202015%20eBay%20spun%20off,United%20States%20corporations%20by%20revenue.
The dreaded Paypal. Which Ebay were forced to divest themselves of. Except they still control it 100%. Just a shelf company owns it!
THEY are bigger crooks than Ebay and you are forced to acept it.
Good to know...thanks for sharing!@@alt7488
Time for a new online store to be created
Biggest question I have is… What is the tape on your hat for?
Been down that road, brother.
So I stopped selling on ebay.
Marketplace is a total shitfight of lowballers, time wasters and no shows, so my shed now just accumulates shit for my kids to fill a dumpster with when I die.
I miss the old ebay.
Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street own major shares in E-Bay. Yep.
The usual suspects. The same dark entities that own Y/T.
I was a big seller (well 5 to 10 a month) after a amount of fees increasing and a similar issue I cut all selling through them. I just use Facebook and it's problems, at least they don't charge you.
Thanks for letting us know Chris...I haven't use Ebay in a long time but I'm not surprised...
The handful of internet scammers are using the internet to screw a lot of us normal guys.
Back years ago, I used to go to swap meets to find parts and used cash for deals.
Of course back then, there was much more stuff available, not so much anymore.
Now with the internet, we have a much more chance to find or sell rare car parts but there's definitely a down side unfortunately.
THANKS CHRIS , was warned about ebay years ago 😞 , love Market Place *
This is one of the biggest problems I've had as an eBay reseller. To add more to the craziness. When I finally prove my case and show I'm in the right. They give me my money and also to keep the buyer happy they let the buyer keep what they paid as well. Now isn't that some $hit. I feel your pain man. It has me pulling my damn hair out sometimes. Now I will straight up cancel a sale if I see zero feedback. When I talk to seasoned resellers, they say it's just part of doing business on eBay.
Sorry they bit you Chris. I got bit a few years ago, so I stopped. It's a cesspool now. Used to be helpful for restorers. Not now.
The INAD scam is becoming more and more common in all categories. I've been selling in the used clothing category and it's the same there as well.
I've ran into this junk before with eBay. I've been told that if you select for parts or repair as the condition they won't let people file those types of claims. Not sure if that's true or not but worth a shot in the future.
Also I think it's BS that you can't leave negative feedback for buyers. Especially since they push the offers system so hard now. If I'm going to accept an offer from a buyer it would be nice to know if they have a history of screwing people.
It's absolutely not true and is complete misinformation.
Ebay is trash. Thankfully I have sold very few things on there. Sorry you had to deal with this stuff.
I got scammed as a buyer a few years ago. Similar story through claims and appeal. Good ratings for 10 years as a buyer and seller. eBay left me high and dry so I cancelled my account and walked away. This was about 4 years ago and I have never looked at another item since. Done. Finished. Period.
It was a set up. Somebody messing with you. Same thing happened to me. Wait till they put your funds on hold. Then if it goes in favor of you, still to wait 30 days for money.
Yup. They shut off the pr0n auctions too. It's a shame. 😑
I sold some stuff on A, B, C, and FMJ Bodies forums. Had some decent success with that for Mopar parts. Sold other stuff on eBay. No issues yet.
Thanks for the post. I'll bet you are not alone. Hopefully someone will file a class action suit against them. I have always checked Ebay first when searching for items. I'll certainly move them to a seller of last resort in my searches.
Had an ebay account since 2001, got stiffed by them in 2015 over a $1500 welder from a buyer with one positive review... Never again with them!
Sell everything as is with NO returns! All my listings get listed under a No returns listing. Bad woke leaders are running eBay and allow buyers to manipulate.
Better buyers with common sense will still buy from you even though your listing is under a no return listing as long as you have a good discription and pics.
Sorry that happened to you Chris , I had simular happen to me too. There is to many younger ignorant and dishonest buyers out there now that think they don't have to take responsibility for there actions and they expect unrealistictly the moon too.
Society has gone down hill!!!
What is "woke" comrade?
Sorry about your loss . I'm sure karma will visit that buyer soon .
I've been an eBay buyer for 10 years and made over 2,000 purchases. I've been scammed by about 10 sellers.
I've delt with some awesome eBay sellers . And then there are those scammer sellers .
I'm not the type of buyer , to rip off a seller but will file an eBay complaint against a seller if they rip me off and / or the item isn't what it was in the listing .
When you mentioned that you spoke to someone at eBay , I'm thinking that is a miracle in itself. Unfortunately, the customer service is going to fully electronic .
I call every ebay buyer now. Make sure they read the listing. "ok, do you in fact drive a vehicle this part fits" "ok did you see this tire is 5 years old" "You saw this is just the harness, not the whole lighting kit, right?" The thing is, you get a feel for how this sale's gonna go, and if you don't wanna be married to this customer, now's your chance to talk them out of it. Most customers are flattered that you thought to reach out, and I've gotten additional sales from doing this.. "oh hey, do you have this as well?" Someone gives off a vibe, politely decline the order, and get them to request cancellation "hey, man, you sound like you're pretty particular about this- I don't think you're gonna like this one"... I've used that before, a buncha times. Also, don't ever list anything on ebay that you can't afford to lose. I can't say this enough- Ebay does not have your back, and they will sit back and let a determined scammer straight jack your shit.
Ebay got too big ........and greedy!!!.......been through all that you mentioned....25 years in there
I stopped selling on Ebay due to these types of issues. Im about ready to stop Marketplace too
B bodies only could be a place for your parts , never know , I have sold wheels and wheel centers with some luck.
I've heard this so many times recently. I buy on eBay but I'm certainly never ever going to sell on the site anymore.
Junkerup-Glad I caught this video!I've never sold on ebay and WAS just about to start...I've been an ebay BUYER for 20 years (100%positive feedback).Ebay has competition
now,they've got tons of established sellers and are erring on the side of the buyer.What happened to you is flat-assed BULLSHIT and I'm glad I caught your warning!
Ivan feel your pain. I completely understand how insane eBay is as a seller. Frustrating
