EBAY TO AVOID. I bought an item for $1000. Two weeks after the delivery deadline, I sent a notice to Ebay to report that I had not received this item. Two weeks later, no response from Ebay. So I called in California to explain my case to them. The lady promised me she would investigate and get back to me. So I waited about a month. One day, I receive an email saying that the case is closed and that there was no further recourse possible!!!. Wow! what a surprise. I had just lost $1000.
You should know that the seller, in China, closed his account one week after I made the purchase. Possibly he left Ebay right after receiving the $1000 payment. So, since Ebay cannot get the $1000 refunded, because the seller closed his account, they therefore cannot refund me, despite their 100% security policy. Every time I try to reach Ebay, they tell me that this case is closed and that there is nothing to be done. A scam by Ebay. A lack of responsibility. This dispute was never resolved. Ebay deliberately closed this dispute to avoid being responsible for paying $1000. What a scam!!! 😞 I am an honest buyer who paid out $1000 for an item I never received. What does Ebay do in this case? Well, nothing! They get away with it.

·1 year agoIn that case, we stop buying on Ebay and close the account for good, and that’s what I’m about to do if that ever happens. I’m myself in the process of canceling an order that comes from China and can either Accept or Refuse!!! (Refuse) Is that new??? He can do exactly the same thing that happened with you, close his account and disappear. And if that happens, I’m going to lose $1300. I feel like I’m going to lose it. No more protection than that from Ebay??? Things are getting worse in the world.
