email them and ask for a shipping date and or tracking number. I buy and sell on Ebay, and I ship right away, but have had experience with people who are in no hurry to get it out, it all depends on what you bought, and what type of shipping is used, and the shipping time doesn't include weekends, so 5-7 days to ship,that means they may not have shipped till today, I would give it a few more days, and email them

I have been with eBay as a seller and buyer for 9 years and I never heard of this. Be cautious. I only accept Paypal myself .

While I have over 3000 feedbacks on ebay I can't say that I personally have been cheated, but I can say that I see people cheating all too often.  The most common thing they do is set up a 2nd username and shill bid their own items to find out what someone is willing to pay, and then they retract their phony bid down to the level that maximises the real buyers bid.  Its sad.  Very sad that people will do this for a few bucks.\n\nWhat is worse to me is that some of these "dealer" types in sport cards will manipulate the price of cards higher.  They are willing to pay a few bucks in ebay fees to show the "value" of the card as something higher then it really is.  After a few manipulated auctions to themselves they release several into the ebay market and make their money off unsuspecting collectors.  And many of them are power sellers so eBay won't do much about them if anything.

I've done it, but it doesn't make you feel any better.  Truth is they won, so screw em, but they still won!  LOL  You can try to email the seller to let him know if for some reason the winning bidder doesn't pay, I'll take a second chance offer.\nAnyway so I've done it once or twice, and haven't been reported but I'm sure if it is cruel enough they can cancel your account.

I have been a ebay buyer for over 5 years and a ebay seller for over 4 and I would NEVER EVER use a drop shipper!  VERY UNDEPENDABLE!  And you never know when an item is actually in stock.  Plus, I feel that dropshipper's prices are WAY overpriced.  And the item not al that great!

I got swindled my FIRST time on eBay! I should have listened to my gut that the deal was just to good to be true $59 bucks for a $200 box set of dvd's and then they had my credit card #  But my bank ended up reembursing me & issued me a new cc#

I buy and sell on ebay all the time.  Many times since 2000.  In that time I have had only 2 people not send the item and ebay and paypal investigated and resolved the issue.  One time I sold and had someone not pay and said they were in identity theft.  Didn't believe that....but filed a strike against them.  Mostly people are honest.  You have to check their feedback scores from other people and see if they are slow shippers, bad payers, etc.  I never buy anything from anyone with less that a 97% feedback score and do not sell to anyone with a no pay strike within 60 days.  I have bought things from cell phones, to bed linens, clothes, appliances, toys, electronics, shoes, tupperware, and I could go on and on.

Report them though ebay. There is information on the ebay website.

Check the sellers feed back.  The good sellers will have very high positive feed back.  99.8% or more usually.  Read any negative comments to find out why people had problems.  I've had very few problems on ebay, and when I do, the sellers are usually very helpful and try to fix the problem quickly.  I usually get better customer service there than if I go to a real store.

That has happened to before as well, I have my selling account connected to my checking account and for 1 month ebay charged me double for my selling fees, and I couldnt talk to anyone about it only emails, and that live chat crap. I have stopped selling and buying things on ebay,  because for one its such a large company there should be a way to contact someone, I mean these people have direct access to our most confidential things, and the most they can offer us is an email???  And second almost every seller on ebay jack up the shipping costs on their items, I am starting to hate ebay for that, so just stop doing business through with them, its absolutely rediculous!!!

I don't why they need the info. I do know one thing, my husband wasn't satisfied with an item that he had purchased, so he gave the seller a bad rating. A few days later, his phone rang. We didn't recognize the number. It was the seller he gave the bad rating too! This guy cursed him out for it. He complained to my husband that because he gave him a bad rating, his Christmas sales would go down. He called several times until my husband finally reversed his rating. It was horrible.
