This weeks 4 items...
2 are faulty
1 is fake and doesn't actually fit where its designed to go
1 looks OK
On the upside, all have turned up within the expected time.
Of the 3 faulty/fake, I can only get a response from one seller, who claimed it was fine, and has now since gone quiet since I sent the photos.
Of those 3, ebay will allow me to return 2 using their system. The other, although I specified from UK I got a Chinese paypal receipt, I suspect they are expecting me to cough the cost of return, and I bet that return address will end up being China.

Covers it all really. :y
-
anything faulty or not as described can be refunded in full via paypal , open an ebay claim X3
so all 3 items can be refunded
sellers of fake or faulty items are responsible for return post
ask for a pre paid return label IF they want the faulty/fake item returned ,which most sellers don't ,because postage and hassle is not worth it ,
at least you are no longer on the delivery black-list * ;D
*at the moment ::)

Reliant on the will of Paypal etc, because only one item is likely to be covered if I end up having to take it to small claims, as others are under £100.
That said, ebay usually come down on side of purchaser if the seller CBA to respond.
Although we're only talking a few hundred quid in total, its the hassle of it all. I cant really afford to lose a few hundred quid but I could still eat, but so many people *really* cant afford to.
Scum. The lot of them.
-
Well, the chinky seller is insistent I send back this £20 item at my expense (£13.50), and the address given is unreadable by the UK delivery companies, as you cant even make out a country.
Lets see how this pans out. But its all just hassle >:(

Though I've only ever had problems with a seller once, eBay were very good & froze the seller's account until she sorted it out. My daughter bought a pair of shoes on my account (honest guv!) and though they were described as size 6, they were in fact only size 5. I gave the seller the chance to sort it, but her reply was 'I don't do refunds!!!'
She refunded me in the end. :y :y :y

I've had this same egay account since egay rebranded from its previous name, must be a good 20yrs. And year by year, it just goes down the shitter even further :(

A few years back we bought a small consignment of usb memory sticks from DH Gate in Chna.
They arrived fine but turned out to be clever fakes. I.e. looked big capacity but were small tricked up to appear big.
Applied for and got a full refund including return postage on the condition that we sent them back. Got the return address in CHINESE which we replicated as best we could. We put our address on as senders.
Months later the package came back to us , with a Chinese label saying address unkown.
We get naffed off with Ebay sellers claiming to be UK sellers then the delivery comes from China.

I'm just ordering her a new USB fan (she aint allowed mains powered fans at her place), and I don't think I can repair hers yet again, it is just worn out ;D.
Hoping the (single) one I've found is identical to the one that's knackered, as most of them she has had couldn't blow a spec of dust away. It looks the same, except colour, but the image is a bit crap.
Its from egay. What could possibly go wrong ;D

I'm just ordering her a new USB fan (she aint allowed mains powered fans at her place),
Probably not allowed mains power due to the company needing all appliances to be PAT tested :y

Its actually not the PAT, its silly local mindless management misunderstanding. Essentially she hotdesks, although she doesn't.
Your suggestion is :y, I'll get her some ear defenders as well ;D

Yeah, I know, I'm demanding. I expect stuff to:
a) Turn up
b) Work
I know I'm far too optimistic.

Apparently far too much to ask from employees these days.
I have heard it suggested that you should treat every job as though you are self employed and your business depends on it. Works for me.
The mentality of some of the people I encounter at work is embarrassing. And really frustrating.
Of course it's the companies' fault* that everyone gets put upon and nothing to do with the fact that it's the busiest month of the year ::)
*It is the companies' fault that they employ shit, whiny, lazy arsed staff with no work ethic, but that's a slightly different issue :-X

The good thing about TB buying ALL of the duff stuff of Egay is that the rest of us very rarely have any problems. Once TB decides he is no longer going to buy all the duff stuff I will have to be a bit more wary. :P I typically buy at least one or more item every week as they are faster, more reliable & have cheaper postage rates than Amazon & a much better, stricter feedback system. I normally only order from Amazon once a month or so with maybe an item or two tacked on to my monthly book order, saved from not paying the TV tax or any subscription to any of the mind numbing, time waster, TV subscription channels.
Week before last it was a video door bell & bluetooth chime unit for ~£30 which works really well where I can remotely talk & view anybody anywhere on my iPhone. A USB lithium battery charger, two lithium batteries from a UK distributor, to replace the batteries in two 'sealed' Aldi rechargeable torches, where the batteries had failed. Brute force & two stilsons broke the Locktighted threaded joints. :y Two decent USB rechargeable aluminum torches on a £6 bid (I was the only bidder) where I think he bought them for a holiday & they didn't turn up in time, so I got them at about 1/2 price. This week a plant LED light as I didn't buy & plant my Carolina Reaper chilli seeds until March, so I think I will need to bring them inside & bring on in the autumn. Next year I will start the seeds, with other chilli & sweet peppers, as normal, at the end of January, inside in an electric propagator & use the lamp to bring them on until it it warm enough in May to put them in my greenhouse.

Stopped buying of eBay some time ago now, too many fake items being reported, there was a programme on one of the sky channels recently which showed the lengths these sellers go to trying to make the items appear as genuine as possible, at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

Well, surprisingly, the Chinky seller of the £20 cable has come good, and has sent me the money to return it for a refund (though I've copped the Paypal fee).
Other 2 are in the Resolution Center.

I supposed I'd had 2 or 3 weeks of minimal hassle with ebay, so I was due a batch of shite :(

they should have sent you a prepaid postage label ,costing you just the price of printing 1 page
and being a computer person, your draft printer should be cheap on consumables
for balck and white printing I have a crappy brother HL-2030 laser which you can dump black powder (not the explosive type :P) in and off you go again for lots more printing ;D
yes, I am a cheapskate :D

Some sellers don't use the standard ebay return system, hence the hassles here. Sadly, at the time of purchase, you don't know if they do or don't, which is a shame, as the ebay system is less hassle - though even that means 10 miles of my petrol and 30 mins of my time on a Saturday morning.

*Sigh*, another crap week of egay. Even Mrs TB is getting sick of it, trying to buy a specific type of USB fan to replace her knackered one that I've bodged once too often. She's trying to find one from anywhere other than egay now, as she's sick of them not working when they arrive.
My Chinky seller has disappeared off the face of the earth, over that cable. The replacement cable I bought from a UK seller has a faulty latch, so needs to go back. And I raised yet another resolution center job for a aprt from my printer than hasn't turned up.
Grrr

My God, you have some bad luck with internet buying TB! :o :o :o
How about trying Amazon? Mind you, seeing how unlucky you are, you will still have problems! ::) ::) ::) :P
Perhaps you should go back to using those real brick shops you have praised so loudly ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

all of my stuff turned up early apart from the dash camera :(
not Ebays fault though
I tracked it via Yodel tracking to local depot and it was due delivery monday
Monday afternoon Yodel changed the status to "Sorry we missed you. We've left you a calling card" which they did not leave a card,
nor did they actually come to my house , I was in , I also checked my CCTV to be 100% sure >:(
I contacted Yodel, who said they would deliver Tuesday
Tuesday tracking did NOT say "out for delivery" >:(
contacted Yodel again , "seems we have not scanned the parcel for quite a while"
so you've lost it then ? "NO, we will do a depot wide search" *which to me says lost ;D
then the cheeky Tw@s changed the tracking status to " Thanks for choosing a new date. See you soon!" >:( :(
tracking on another site said "Aberdeen home delivery" at one stage
I contacted the ebay seller now and he will contact yodel
I ordered another camera and a dash cam on Wednesday evening from other ebay sellers
one came yesterday , the other was delivered today :)
so, for the first time in a long time I had an issue
but due to the knob jockeys at Yodel , not ebay
-
s'only ebay that's a problem (and Amazon Marketplace). Its been getting progressively worse for the last few years.
-
Todays ebay delivery (2 cambelt kits), one was correct, other was for something that has a very strange idler/tensioner setup. And I suspect a smallish 4 cylinder engine.

We had ( in Spain ) yesterday an email saying our item was ready for delivery. Great
However the local end delivery had changed the correct address to gobbledegook, so undeliverable
No problem changed it to a drop off point.
Dropped in at 5 p.m. their opening time . Sign in window open at six p.m. Hey Ho.

Chinky seller with the cable has come good, and refunded the lot. I thought that was going to be the usual battle of it not arriving, and then having to take the fight to the PO.
The lady in the village PO - we use a nearby village postoffice, as our one in town is an ass to park near - is even commenting on how much shit I have to send back ;D
-
I was refunded by the seller of the dash cam that YODEL lost on monday :)
I've had 2 dash cams arrive from other sellers by royal mail 48

I need to chase up a bundle of, admittedly cheap, egay tat that hasn't turned up yet, despite being dispatched from the UK (yet hieroglyphics as the receipient on the paypal invoice).
Not worth the effort chasing if they don't turn up, but I do need them. Mostly printer bits following some belt issues - the damn thing has probably printed 40k miles, and is due a new set of timing belts ;D

Reading what you have published on your internet buying, I reckon you are one unlucky sod TB! :o :o ;D ;D
Now I have purchased thousands of pounds of many types of goods from internet suppliers, including Amazon and your infamous Ebay. But I have very rarely had a problem, the last one being with Ebay and an awful carrier. But, as in that case, once I have finished with them I get an immediate refund plus compensation for my wasted time and effort. 8) 8)
I, unlike you I think, only use reputable online sites, with verified quality suppliers that I can research before I buy. I recommend TB that you take the same route, and not be a tight arse ( ;) ;) ;D ;D) and be prepared to pay good money for an excellent product, supplied by a reputable provider.
You only get what you pay for, and I would ask is it worth all the hassle you seem to have in an effort to save pennies? ::) ::)
Just my, as a retailer, observations after reading your posts on these matters :P :P ;D ;D ;)
-
Oh Lizzie, if only you knew ;D.
I've been doing this shite for an awful long time. Hence I know to only use ebay when the alternatives are going to be even more hassle.
There is an awful lot to be said for walking in a shop with universal gift vouchers (pound notes), handing some over, and walking out with what you want. But as that idea is alien to the rich millennials, there are no shops now. Now the once brilliant Brackley DIY has shut, I'm racking my brains to think if you can buy any non grocery goods in my town (curry, coffee and houses don't count) :(

I ordered 3 items last night from ebay. :)
2 have been marked as dispatched. :y
One is on it's way by Hermes so should be here at the weekend, the other despite being listed as a UK supplier tells me delivery will be in 2 weeks, so it's coming from China... ::)
No word on the third item yet. :-\
I'll keep you posted! :)

Does anyone know how to leave feedback if you have a dispute open?
oppswit seller hasn't sent the item because its "not in the warehouse", yet marked it dispatched shortly after I ordered it 3 weeks ago. Obviously hoped I wouldn't notice, because made no effort to contact me, and now claims there will be a delay whilst they order it in.

best to NOT leave feedback until any dispute is resolved
fear of negative feedback motivates sellers to resolve an issue
at least the item was lost BEFORE it entered "the Bermuda Brackley triangle" for once
I recently made a risky purchase of a 4000 liter (3x2x0.75 meter) pool from eurocarshyte via ebay and all went swimmingly :D ;D

Its under £30, not fussed if I get it back or not, but like so many suspect sellers, there is a hint of blackmail that a resolution will only happen if I am kind with feedback.
I don't play that game.
What I don't want to do is lose the ability of leaving feedback once the dispute is closed.

you won't in my experience
once the case is resolved and closed you should be able to leave feedback
your item gets removed from purchase history and appears in cancelled orders etc at the bottom once resolved.
you can't leave a negative within 10 days IIRC

FFS, item that arrived late last week has gone faulty, and the packaging is already in landfill. Attempts to contact seller have been unsuccessful, and return terms do state original packaging. I can see this is going to be hassle.

I research things before i order them ,and the seller
not very often I have a problem ,
I did a on-line home food shop the other day ,no research ,totally f**ked it up ;D
the bread was a tiny loaf about half the size of the one we usually have :D

I've thought about that, but I just know I'd hate someone else picking my bananas and meat, etc. I like to give everything a thorough examination, give bread the pensioner squeeze (If you look on the top shelf, all the bread has been squashed in the middle and rejected) ;D

I did it because sainsburys sent me a £20 off voucher as a first online shop,
they delivered exactly what I ordered
I don't need to order fruit or salad or veg ;D :D
they even deliver booze n fags 8)
you could probably get a sainsburys £20 voucher off interweb ,minimum spend was £60 IIRC
just order tins etc if you want to squeeze buns when you shop :o
you do have to pay about £3 delivery for a 1 hour time slot
and read and check the weight of things (loaf weight :-[ , tin size for example )

£30 off with ocado, I think.

Ocado offer is 30% off first shop + FREE deliveries for 3 months with a Smart Pass
I have to say, the Sainsburys delivery bloke was very helpful and it stores your shopping list basket for next time ,so we may well just edit the list and use sainsburys for bulk delivery ,(after checking weights etc ;D ) unless Mrs Builder wants to go through entering all the items to other supermarket websites
obviously we'll still have to go to lidl and aldi to get fresh produce .......
like angle grinders, work lights, drill bits etc ;D :D I mean milk and bread rolls ::)

FFS, item that arrived late last week has gone faulty, and the packaging is already in landfill. Attempts to contact seller have been unsuccessful, and return terms do state original packaging. I can see this is going to be hassle.
Seller is insisting I return faulty item at my expense. The only thing I will post them at my expense is some dogturd.

spot on,
if an item is broken,faulty or not as described, open a claim
you have ebay and paypal on your side
seller has to send a replacement or refund , or send a pre-paid postage label to return the tat and then you get a refund
unless you collect the item in person ,paypal changed that recently ,so you can't claim :(

I ordered a refurbished laptop at about midday on Friday from ebay and it turned up yesterday at about 1700. :)
It's exactly as described, in good condition and is fast and responsive. So far so good! :y
-
And todays "disappointment" which was ordered yesterday isn't actually available in the quantity I ordered. They can send what they have though, or offer full refund.
Just checking that I can have a partial refund if I take the lower number...
-

Don’t be silly...
If they give you a partial refund, they won't have any money to buy more stock ;D
-
Another dispute that I have open, it had 1 minute to go before I could ask Ebay to step in, and the seller accepts a return for this faulty item. Get a feeling that's automated?

In the end, that's worked out fine, they gave me pro rata refund for the ones they couldn't send. Quick delivery as well :)

Arsehole seller has received the faulty item, but telling me I'm only going to get a 50% refund due to not having original packaging (which is true, as I binned that the moment it arrived, and the fault didn't become apparent for a couple of days).
Yet more hassle and wasted time dealing with these oppswits.
-
Seller still insistent that he'll only give me a 50% refund ;D. I had a feeling it was going to waste my time when he waited until the last minute before I could get egay involved before the mong accepted the return.
-
Its only a sub £10 item, but there is a principle.
But I maintain that egay is full of such oppswits.

I buy several things a month ,I don't ever recall either not getting the item or getting a full refund ,albeit a few weeks later ::)
and have the hassle of finding another replacement item.
I've not sold anything for about 18 months ,that was my Carlton, that was a ballache
non paying bidder cost me about £15 in fees and a lot of hassle
I do have quite a bit of stuff that I should list on ebay , but i'm not feeling inspired to do so
-
I've not sold anything on there for a dozen years or more. Simply because it is full of idiots, timewasters, chancers and so on.
It was worthwhile and enjoyable around 20 years ago, but slowly it deteriorated into what it is today.
Simply not worth the hassle, so I use landfill instead now.
-
Surprisingly, Ive found Gumtree quite good for selling recently. Local people turn up and give you cash for what you've advertised, without all the aggro associated with fleabay.

Needless to say, egay came down in my favour.
Next up is a "Fast and Free" that should have been here last Friday, containing bits to fix Shitter No2. Fortunately, we have 2 other crappers, so no need to dig the spade out yet.
-
Another "fast and free", ordered first week of November, turned up yesterday, 2 weeks after "expected delivery". Despite seller claiming immediate dispatch, the tracking clearly shows it was dropped off in a midland postoffice this Tuesday, so why the seller is trying to claim its a royal mail fault I do not know.
In addition, this was an assortment of items, but 50% were missing. Auction promised a certain number, but the seal blister pack was 50% short. Seller still unhappy.
I've actually bought the bits from a local-ish shop, due to the item not arriving when promised, but I was happy to accept them if the missing parts were sent, but the seller is unhappy with that. So yet another in the resolution center :(.
-
Don't know how you seem to have so much trouble! I won an auction on Tuesday,paid for it via paypal that day,item was according to e-bay due to arrive by next Thursday[28th] it actually arrived yesterday.Never had any problems buying off e-bay other than one of the courier companies telling me they'd tried to deliver a parcel once but I was out when I wasn't but it turned up the day after.

That used to piss me off with amazon. If they give you a delivery date, and you have to make arrangements to be in, then early is no better than late.

its probably just bad luck that someone has had so many issues with ebay. things can go wrong but all just been bad coincidences.which would put you off using ebay if it happened a lot.
personally i find it a fantastic place. every single thing i need for my cars, my house and various bits for work have come from ebay. its been years since i ever went in a motor shop or diy shop.and for unusual or rare/obsolete items every thing eventually pops up on ebay .a few clicks and in a few days it arrives. perfect.
if im planning a job on a car at the weekend id look for the bits at beggining of week and they usually are here by weekend.
yes ive had a few things not turn up and had to open up a few disputes ( maybee half a dozen in the 10 or so years )but the good outweighs the bad by a large margin

Be aware, its usually about the most expensive place to buy new stuff.

I'd say in my first 15yrs of using, both buying and selling, I think I had one single issue (ironically my first ever purchase). In the last half a dozen years, I'd estimate opening well over 100 cases, and its definitely getting worse.
I have theories about this.
Firstly, scammers and chancers know how to exploit it, knowing that a proportion of people will not bother with sorting it out. I mean, for a £10 item, is it worth your time and effort? Because these people tend to sell lots of items, they have multiple accounts, so if one starts getting too much bad feedback, they can either abandon it, or sell stuff below cost for a month to get the recent feedback back up to snuf. Sellers know that a proportion of buyers are as thick as 2 short planks, and are gullible.
Secondly, we have our millennials now selling stuff. Obviously life owes them, so why should they rush to remove a part from their broken car and post it when Call of Duty calls.
Thirdly, we now have a lot of far east sellers who claim that the item is in the UK, so it appears in UK only searches, but reading the description, delivery may be up to 4 weeks (no matter what the estimated time is)… ...and when it does arrive, it has a customs label on it.
Lastly, we have the back bedroom companies claiming stuff is in stock, but in reality they are just drop shippers. To me, these are a huge problem, as ebay is never my first port of call for new items for cost and warranty issues, so I tend to only buy new stuff from there if its not available elsewhere. I've even contacted sellers to check they actually have the item, and order it when they confirm. When I chase non delivery, they then claim its not in stock. Grrrr.
-
I agree :o
but still think Ebay is a good tool to have in the box
along with a decent independent motor factors
some bits for things are not available from shops or factors
I opened a ebay case this week
ordered 2 GB sodimm for that HP mini ,first class post
monday the memory was still not here (so about 10 days late) so I opened a case and ordered from another seller
the next day ,both lots turned up ;D
the first seller sent recorded ,not posted till monday ::)
it's not worth me returning it,he has proof it was delivered, but i have proof it was 10 days late .
i'll take my time closing the case ,as he did posting ;D
now i have 2 spare 2GB sticks of DDR3-10600 that won't fit anything in the hoard
also ordered replacement handbrake return springs ,came the next day :)
it was easier that looking for the ones i have in stock :-X ;D
-
but still think Ebay is a good tool to have in the box
It is, hence I still use it a fair bit.
Ideal for 2nd hand car spares - though by the nature, these are normally needed straight away, and millennial sellers won't bother removing until the next Fortnite era has ended. Plus the more scummy "breakers" who list stuff for your car, when it turns up, its not.
Also good for niche things. And 20p micro usb cables and the like if not in a hurry.
ordered 2 GB sodimm for that HP mini ,first class post
I pretty much have certain red lines about what I will and will not order from egay, even if that is the only place available. Any computer parts (but no branded complete computers) fit this, because we know that the dim witted amongst us genuinely believe that they can finger stuff to their hearts content without ESD. And most stuff will have been well and truly fingered. Invariably, the mainstream box shifters are cheaper*, and warranty issues easier to sort.
*I've said before, that I used to list stuff on egay that I didn't have, but checking daily stock levels of my then supplier Bluepoint. When someone bought/won it, I'd walk up to Bluepoint at lunchtime, pick it up, get back to the office, package, and send one of the lovely secretaries** we had to the Postoffice. Fast service guaranteed 100% positive feedback, warranty issues were easy, due to a proper trade account with bp, and mark up normally around 100% because ebay buyers are generally stupid/lazy.
**Used to get them to do a full fry up in the kitchenette area at least weekly. Lovely ladies.
-
And 20p micro usb cables and the like if not in a hurry.
Obviously, these are sold at a loss, to get feedback back up to scratch. So I tend not to leave feedback on these... ...accepting I will get none back in return.
-
both sellers stated "posted in anti static,first class" both did ,but the second one remembered to post it that day ,not 10 days later ;D
I've got about 2000+ positive feedback (100%) over 2 ebay accounts going back to 2001
not that everyone leaves feedback ::)
as a buyer,I feel very well protected
as a seller ,not so much ;D so I CBA
-
as a buyer,I feel very well protected
Buyers are :)
But its the hassle involved, and the fact the crap sellers have your cash for a month. Not to mention the costs involved in packaging stuff safely to return, and the costs of getting it to the postoffice (about a 10 mile round trip for me, which equates to about £3 in fuel/car expenses). I can't get to the one in town in a lunchtime (no daytime parking in town, due to all the new estate builders, HS2 pikeys and town centre residents, so its about 2.5m round walk, which takes me well over the 20mins or so I give myself on the break occasions I have a lunch break), or after work. And I aint queuing up for over an hour on a Saturday morning.
And dealing with idiots.
