They sent the wrong part.  Rather than send the right item, or let me send it back for a full refund, they are insistent that I should accept a (undisclosed) partial refund and keep the wrong item.  I have suggested this is unacceptable on 3 separate occasions now, after they keep suggesting I should be happy.

Then they get properly shitty when I leave them negative feedback.  WTF do they expect?

[iansoutham]

Sounds like the usual Chinese sellers to me.

Open a dispute and they soon let you keep the part and give a full refund

This (UK) seller is trying to play the system (and the Paypal receipt when I bought it a few weeks back wasn't full of hieroglyphs, so probably even a real UK seller ).

Awaiting ebay final decision.

How are they doing that? I thought things were pretty cut and dried on eBay?

 I got a pair of stainless steel number plate surrounds a couple of weeks ago from a UK seller.
When I opened up the package there was a pair of light cotton gloves included.
I thought " how thoughtful of them including these so that the stainless doesn't get fingerprints on them........
As soon as I started to assemble the two parts of each surround I slashed two of my fingertips deeply ending up bleeding everywhere. The edges of theses surrounds were razor sharp akin to a stanley blade.
I couldn't believe it.
I contacted them and they admitted that they knew there was a problem hence the gloves .
The problem was that on a tailgate like our Yeti it's all too easy to inadvertently brush your hand against it and each time you wash with a sponge it just slices it.
They offered a refund if I sent them back at my cost and wouldn't budge on that so I thought sod them . I wrote a damming review and posted negative feedback.
Honestly they should never have been sold to the public and were the most dangerous items i've ever purchased.
I spent some time on them dulling the edges using a dremel, a power finger file and 800 grit and they're safe now but even then cut my fingers again.

Well if you will buy expensive chavvy shite from a soon to be 3rd country!   

Seriously though, is that right? £115.99?   

[BazaJT]

Only twice out of many e-bay purchases have I had any kind of problem.The first was when the seller could not fulfil the order and gave me an immediate refund without any kind of prompting and the second was when the item didn't arrive[still hasn't]and was resolved by e-bay/paypal very quickly.All the rest have arrived[or I've collected]on or ahead of stated times and been of a quality expected given price paid.

[tunnie]

Errr. You could just not use eBay?   

I rarely use it for anything car part related.

[2boxerdogs]

Only had one problem with a tap bought from eBay , but sold it for £2 profit on our local buy & swap site , nothing wrong with it but fittings were incorrect for our en suite, all other purchases have been fine.

Them nasty Ebay sellers must just be picking on TB then 
seems everyone else has relatively few problems

Inflation.

Me neither.  Last time I used for car parts was those useless mongs at ATP - another set of morons who play it as much as they can.  Ebay came down on my side as usual when a DHL tracking number couldn't be provided, and "DHL lost it" was the excuse for not bothering to send it...   ...in fact my contact was saying they were looking to take ATP to court over deformation...

Deformation? The were bending the parts before sending them?

Oh dear, Mrs TB has just gone on a massive rant about egay sellers, and the number of cases she has open with egay.


I did chuckle, but had to get her to stop and take breath

[dave the builder]

FTFM....
Fixed that for myself 
 

[Rods2]

Shhhhhh, don't tell TB where he thinks a 1% rating means this is the number of dissatisfied customers where the rest of us know it is the number of satisfied customers.

[TheBoy]

I suspect I've been using egay long before most here, so I doubt its user error

[Shackeng]

Wrong time of the month perhaps?

Clearly "targeted victimization" then 
at about 4pm today , I ordered 3 tool boxes, cambelt kit +water pump ,some software,a TPMS kit and some catnip from various sellers
toolboxes delivered by 5.15  (local seller)
cambelt kit seller asked for reg and confirmed it was correct and has been dispatched,
catnip and TPMS marked dispatched
digital delivery of the software ,so ,being the weekend , that may take till Monday

[BazaJT]

It's an anti TB conspiracy[we love a good conspiracy on here ]

[dave the builder]

software digital delivery just before 8pm 
just the catnip,TPMS and cambelt/waterpump to come 

[TheBoy]

Awaiting ebay final decision.

Still awaiting egay to make a decision.  I guess egay staff are busy, given the number of hopeless sellers that have ruined the site from a once useful place to an overpriced outlet for less intelligent people...

How do Amazon treat you TB?

Glad you added that bit, 'tard 

I also use it on and off, usually for cheap shite I would once have bought from Craplin (recently, a mesh guard for a 120mm case fan for £2, posted, from Mao's Candy Land), but occasionally for more expensive things - both my lathes came from eBay, as did both my V8s, and my RX8 .. although the less said about that one, the better

I am also a proud retard, naturally 

[2boxerdogs]

Best buy from eBay a Rossmore display & drinks cabinet new around £2,000 cost me £16.01 collection only luckily only 25 miles from home, I could tell the other bidders were dealers from their feedback & items for sale their maximum bid was £15.00 I put in £110 in the last few seconds , beautiful piece of furniture .

Bought several cars off the bay all from private sellers all been excellent still got the Hyundai which has been & still is an excellent workhorse, too many dealers on there now professional & amateur .

[dave the builder]

From the 5 items i ordered late friday , the TPMS and my gates cambelt/waterpump kit arrived today 
so the only outstanding item not delivered yet is the catnip (Estimated delivery Wed, 13 Mar - Thu, 14 Mar) ,so not late/overdue

pair of brake discs I ordered from ebay on monday are awaiting my collection from argos collection (I knew i would be out ,so had them sent to argos)

I'm not saying Ebay is without the occasional hiccup, out of 100 purchases, i probably have to claim about 1 or 2 back off ebay or paypal due to the seller being a F**k-tard

Don't doubt it for a minute  My problem was buying an RX8 in the first place.. To be fair, I went into it knowing it was a tip-seal failure, picked it up for £800, sat on it for a year, never did fix it, and sold it for £800.. so y'know, nothing lost, really!

Read an article some time ago where a V6 can't remember what from had replaced the rotary lump & the owner said it was now the car it should have been, always liked the looks of the RX8.

Amazon's problem is when something goes off script, the only people you can speak to - in Manilla - are oppsed, and just stonewall.

For the most part, Amazon is a pretty slick operation.  Amazon Marketplace however....

I usually have 1 or 2 on the go at any point in time

That said, just checked, just one currently - currently awaiting Egay decision.
