EBAY?!? Why did this happen?

You have to be careful in your minimum pricing or reserve price.  People on eBay are looking for bargains, and many people's items go unsold because they are overpriced for THAT market (as opposed to the regular retail value of an item).  Try searching similar items, and on the left under the search box, you'ss also find a box to check for COMPLETED LISTINGS.  You can research what did and did not sell, and the listing or selling prices of similar items, so that you can price your items competitively.  Good luck!

people are generally idiots, I've found.. what the heck is a carbooter? sounds funny... Ebay thrives on people not reading the fine print though, I messed up on buying a set of speakers for $20, then saw that shipping was $39. Even I'm an idiot sometimes!

Security risk is a big problem for Ebay!!!! Recently, although I never sold anything at Ebay, I became a seller, selling more than 200 electronic items listed in my acct. I had to notify Ebay about this and they have removed all the listed items but it was a nighmares. Although there were little benefits, their security is at great risk and you have to be very careful what you do at Ebay.

Hi!Ive been in the same situation.I Ended up actually calling the seller and asking them,where my item was.I told them,I had already BEEN sent a payment to them and they should have got it by the time I sent it.I then consulted the rep. on Ebay.com and asked them if I was elidglible for a refund.They told me it has to be over $25.00.So if your order was over $25.00,then your elidglible.

well, eBay charges a fee to list your item, then they take a percentage of the final price of your item.  There are also other charges within listing...for instance additional pictures cost, placing a reserve results in a fee, putting your in a second category...stuff like that.

Ebay is recently changing its system and charging ppl to sell in ebay.. i guess that's the problem but it's gonna be okay soon.\nmeantime check if you've put Ebay into your restricted site by mistake? if yes, you can undo that in Tool-Internet Options.

a lot of ebay sellers will overcharge on shipping to keep the price of thier item lower. also, ebay doesn't charge fees on shipping like they do on the selling price of the item, and this way the seller loses less money.

Lots and lots of people, and Ebay does have investigators actively pursuing people for all sorts of misconduct on there.  I tried to sell a fairly expensive item and nobody bid high enough to make my reserve price.   One of the bidders on my item was contacted by someone saying they were my husband and made her a "second chance" offer to purchase the item.  She goes ahead and sends this unknown guy over $800 cash via Western Union.  After she doesn't hear anything from this guy for a couple days she finally, for the first time, contacts me.  What a mess.  I felt so bad for her and tried to help all I could.  She made too many mistakes and didn't verify who she was dealing with and she didn't follow rules set down by Ebay, so you can't really blame this one on Ebay.

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!

From experience, Sellers don't leave feedback until the buyer leaves a feedback.  this is so unfair.  It happened to me twice after buying merchandise from a popular online auction site.

Wow.\nSorry that happened to you!\nI was screwed on Ebay a few times, so no longer use it (yes, screwed out of $500 too, by a dirty dropshipper). \n\nI think that Paypal needs to be looked into because they are reselling Visa and Mastercard-- which is technically illegal. Merchant accounts are for the single merchant ONLY, but probably because paypal makes them money, it's being overlooked. Ccbill and other third party payment processors also fall into that grey area, from what I undertstand.\n\nPaypal also acts as a bank, which could be illegal (I don't know). \n\nEbay should probably be monitored more closely... I noticed that there is NO requirement for photographers and "producers" selling their stuff to have proof-of-model-release or other 2257 documentation. This means that you could take sick pics of your neighbor in a bathing suit, and not have to prove that she ever gave you permission (much less is over 18).... THAT concerns me (especially with all the pervy photographers and men I've known!)!!\n\nI think people should boycott ebay and that they should use a system similiar to amazon.com- where payment is processed THRU them and if you don't provide proof of shipping within X days then the money is refunded to the customer. This would protect both parties.

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.
