Re: BAD E-bay experience..long vent..sorry

I never purchased anything on ebay, I know a lot of people do, I guess I'm old fashioned, I just don't like to buy things from people you don't know and send money for something thats not from a actual retailer, I just don't trust it. And you cant trust the quality. I don't know, I'm weary about ebay!

Wow that is horrible!! I have bought and sold tuns of stuff on ebay and so far never a problem.. knock on wood.
My sister on the other hand bought a nice cell phone off of ebay.. paid $60 or something like that.. when she recieved it the cell company said it wasnt compatable with her service , so unfortunatly she couldnt use it. She put it for sale on ebay and only got like $20 or $25 for it and when the girl who won the bid recieved it, it didnt work!!! The phone was broken but my sister never knew since she couldnt use it! Now my sister has to deal with the headache and she already had left the other person positive feedback.

I got burned too. Lost $40. I got a pair of shoes that were the wrong size. She said to send them back. I waited for my money, she never sent it. I emailed her and she said she had to wait for a couple of purchases to come through to pay me back. Gullible me, I waited. After countless emails, and twice she told me she sent the payment, I went to post negative feedback. But that's where she got me. They only give you a couple of weeks to post feedback. She had 99% positive feedback because she probably made everyone wait until the feedback option expired. I learned my lesson
