I am still waiting for my cabinet…

I am still waiting for my cabinet bought from great deals on ebay Canada. It is well past the due date for delivery and am getting nothing but the run around from ebay Canada and the seller. They have my money (over $500) and can't get a straight answer from the seller or ebay as to where my purchase is or when/if it will be delivered. I will never buy from ebay Canada or great deals again and advise others to follow my lead.
After several weeks, the cabinet from Buy Great Deals did not show up and ebay Canada informed me that they will return my money.
Don't purchase from Buy Great Deals. You will regret it.

No parameters for declare fraud

They're avoiding parameters to exposing frauds by cards and doesn't have proper forms or clients service's to share important information about it.
They seem more willing to take from your account and fake seller's protections.

eBay is stupid

If I could give you guys a zero start I would but oh no I have to give you at least one star. This is by far the worst customer service I've ever seen. I'd rather deal with Microsoft or Sony CS.

Items keep going “missing” in transit.

The shippers used by eBay are completely incompetent. I’ve tried ordering the same item from two different shippers. The first item was lost in transit and never delivered. Now this same item from a different shipper has been sitting at an eBay shipping hub for 20 days without any movement. I’m sure it’s been “lost” too. What a joke of a company.

eBay's global shipping is absolutely…

eBay's global shipping is absolutely terrible, the seller is made to ship the goods to an eBay hub whereby the item will sit there for days on end with no movement under the disguise of being inspected, which is nonsense. The last two items I purchased sat there in eBays hub for 6 days each, eBay holds these items until they have a load for the carrier which is grossly unfair to the buyer who pays a premium amount for shipping, the reason eBay does this is for cheaper bulk shipping but does not pass this on to the buyer. I am thoroughly disgusted with eBay and will never again shop with them unless absolutely necessary, Amazon is far superior in every way.

I have used eBay for over 10 years

I have used eBay for over 10 years. The platform is horrible for sellers. I have never had a pleasant customer service with eBay at all. Over the call, they are not helpful at all. If you have an account that is not based on US, you can never remove Payoneer and they simply ask you to create a new account. They promised me over chat that they would remove some insertion fees, then they didn't and forced me to buy a store subscription just to have those same fees removed. The platform runs on trust, a buyer can simply say they didnt receive the item and eBay will rip off the seller without any evidence. They will charge 13% fees on every item you sell, so that brings the price of the item very high. They charge insertion fees, final value fees and percentage and then add tax on top of it all to rip sellers off, heres why the prices are higher on it. They wont remove feedback even if buyer did feedback extortion, all they care about is robbing as much from both buyers and sellers as they can.

Disappointed with eBay's Customer…



Disappointed with eBay's Customer Service and Management

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with eBay's customer service and management regarding a package that I never received. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue, eBay's handling of the situation left much to be desired.

First and foremost, the lack of responsibility taken by eBay's customer service representatives was alarming. When I reached out to inquire about the whereabouts of my missing package, I was met with excuses and deflections rather than genuine efforts to address the problem. It seemed as though they were more concerned with shifting blame than finding a solution.

Furthermore, the inefficiency and lack of accountability displayed by eBay's management team only exacerbated the situation. Despite providing all necessary details and documentation regarding my order, there was a noticeable lack of follow-through on their part. It felt as though my concerns were being brushed aside, with no real effort made to investigate the matter further.

What truly frustrated me the most was the apparent disregard for customer satisfaction and loyalty. As a longtime eBay user, I expected better treatment and service when encountering issues with my orders. However, the dismissive attitude and unwillingness to take ownership of the problem have left me feeling undervalued as a customer.

In conclusion, my experience with eBay's customer service and management was nothing short of disappointing. The lack of accountability, poor communication, and overall negligence in addressing my concerns have left me questioning whether eBay truly values its customers. Moving forward, I hope to see improvements in their approach to resolving issues and providing better support to those who rely on their services.

I have been buying and selling Canadian…

I have been buying and selling Canadian Stamps on eBay for years. I have a store. I am disappointed that each time you update your software it makes listing stamps much more complex and difficult. The newest version for listing stamps brings one to a generic page having nothing to do with stamps!!! Please revert back to the previous setup. Thanks.
Regards: A very dissatisfied stamp lister.

I setted the website for CAD and it went back to USD.

I setted the website for CAD. For an unkown reason, it was set back to USD and I didn't notice. So, instead of doing what I though was a great deal, I got ripped off. Paid the item more than the price of a brand new one at the store. And ebay added tons of taxes and fees on top of it. And don't get me started with their shipping. It keeps being rescheduled and it is like that for days. It's taking weeks to get my package. I'm almost at 3 weeks of wait and the package is still at the same place it was 3 weeks ago. Litterally lost 3 weeks. It's like it just left the seller's place yesterday, but 3 weeks have passed.

I'm really having a very bad experience buying on ebay.ca. I'll never ever buy on that website again.

Blind stuedent Got ripped off on Ebay leaving me sad and desperate

I have always relied on eBay to purchase my PCs as a blind student, and up until now, I have never encountered any issues. However, my recent experience has been quite disappointing. Last month, I bought a PC and a cell phone from eBay, but unfortunately, both items arrived broken. To make matters worse, these items do not even appear on my eBay account, making it difficult for me to reach out to eBay for assistance. In an attempt to resolve the issue with the PC, I contacted the seller because she had contacted me via text to say that the color I had chosen was sold out. So from this text, I was able to reach her to request a battery, but unfortunately, the PC stopped working right after I sent the message. As for the phone, it never functioned properly from the very beginning. Despite purchasing it as a refurbished S22ulter, it turned out to be a counterfeit phone that did not work at all. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can fix these problems, I would greatly appreciate it. This unfortunate experience has left me feeling extremely frustrated, and I have decided that I will no longer shop on eBay. Losing a lot of money purchasing these two items and being left with two non-functional pieces of technology is disheartening. You can no longer call eBay and the option you are given fails. This is my email. Renee.

Ebay's Global Shipping Canada is terrible

I ordered an item from a merchant who used Ebay's Global shipping and the item went to a Ebay shipping hub, in 2 days, then sat for 12 days and described in the tracking as being "inspected?" I stopped buying from Ebay out of the USA when Global shipping charged duty on items to Canada that were within the price exemption of tax. I will avoid buying from USA sellers, with poor delivery via Ebay's Global Shipping.

Do not buy from Ebay

Do not buy from Ebay! Especially if you are buying as a guest! Their customer service is no service at all. I have a return that is mishandled by 6 different agents, sent me a wrong return label for a wrong order number and a USPS label that could not be serviced by any courier in Canaca! All their agents are from all over who only care about finishing a call without any service at all. Even if I had a case number, I keep repeating my dilemma and they give me a run around each time. They keep escalating it to Ebay international shipping which is almost non existent. Doesn’t reply to ke or contact me. But they contacted my seller telling her I filed a return request but no action is expectedfrom her. My seller said she can’t generate a return label. After a couple weeks, eBay emailed me that if I don’t return the item, my case will be closed. They haven’t even started acting on it! This company has descended into scamming! If I could put zero star in this review, I would.

I hear you! - the eBay.ca managed payment fiasco

I hear you! Ebay has owed me $1058.15 for more than 3 years now, ever since managed payments began. I've spent hours with reps in chat or on the phone and still can't get the issue resolved despite having my bank details verified several times only to get cancelled and the money returned to eBay.

I have three eBay accounts one is ebay.co.uk and the other two are ebay.ca accounts. The ebay.co.uk account works fine with managed payments but both Canadian accounts don't. The micro deposits that ebay supposedly sends out for bank verification never arrive in either of my two Canadian bank accounts so instead I've tried the bank statement method for verification but after getting a message from ebay saying the bank is verified 48 hours later it fails.

So having been a ebay.ca seller for 19 years I can say that, for me at least, ebay is downer right now. I ceased selling on the Canadian site three years ago in 2020 when the problem had been going on for a month because I was receiving no revenue from the sales I was making. And despite all efforts to find a fix or get an explanation from ebay I have still not received the money I am owed.

During my last conversation with a ebay rep yesterday she appeared to hint that ebay is experiencing 'some difficulties' with a number of Canadian banks and direct deposits but for a business like ebay.ca to begin a new payout system before getting all the banks on board beggars belief.

Anyways, that's my take on the ebay.ca. It's on a downer right now. I'm considering closing the account and getting them to send me a cheque but even that's complicated by the protocols regarding how accounts are closed and where the money goes so perhaps I'll hedge my bets in the hope that eBay get their act together or some kind of legal or regulatory action is taken to fix the issues many of us have encountered...

Bonne chance mes amis!

Ebay collecting fees on GST/HST

As a seller & buyer on ebay for over 22 years with 100% positive feedback, I realized recently that when selling my items that ebay is now collecting taxes from the buyers on the total sale. When they collect their seller fees they are now basing the total sale price, tax included, to calculate those fees. It is bad enough that years ago they started including shipping as part of the total to collect their fees. I do believe, but have not verified as yet whether this is actually legal or not. This just one of my issues with ebay. Sellers check your actual selling costs to see if you are being ripped off as well.
