How are ebay helping scalpers to live of the misery of others

Re: Scalpers

redwick1 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:10:43 GMT

They dont

There are report links on every listing so report

They also have been removing items that are price gouging if reported

There are many scams on ebay but buyers have to be responsible and read listings carefully

If there is a problem then they use the money back guarantee

If you have a problem then come back and we can try and help

they don't, people don't have to buy, they can use the report link on every listing

anyone who is silly enough to pay the scalpers prices need their heads examined!

I've never understood why people pay stupid prices for things

It is ebays responsibility not ours to stop these people and items . when a
seller is listing more than twice the price of a new product it is obviouse
there buissnes is not legitimate and they are profiteering. So these
products should never have been allowed to be advertised on ebay in the
first place . With thier immoral practices they are ruining birthdays and
peoples holidays with ebays help . So its time to stand on your morals and
stop these practices

sorry?

no one has to buy these items

people need to take control of their own lives,

no birthday is 'ruined' just because they didn't receive the latest expensive gimick, I brought up six children to understand the value of things

Wonderfull but what about ebays moral integrity and not allowing those
profiteers on ebay . Its not a matter of dont buy from scalpers . Ebay
shouldnt be allowing these practices in the first place

What, buying something and selling at a profit?

Re: Scalpers

redwick1 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:41:08 GMT

Our morals and stop the practices??.

Not us as we are not ebay or ebay staff just ordinary members just like yourself.

Why would anyone want to pay twice the price of an item.
That is their choice.

Ebay has the policy there so that you or any member can report price gouging
Have you reported any?. Several of us on here have and also phoned ebay to report.
Ebay took note and has removed some of them as fast as they do more appear

Ebay can not police the whole site there are millions of listings

How can they be ruining birthdays and holidays that is ridiculous no one is forcing them to buy.

Re: Scalpers

pixiesen2012 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:42:11 GMT

ebay is a company designed to make money,

morals don't come into it

Re: Scalpers

ingvar51 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:42:15 GMT

No the immoral act of profiteering ebay needs to deal with every scalper by
removing them from the site . There is nothing wrong with a little profit
but chargeing more than twice the rrp is a scumbags trick and it needs to
be stamped on NOW

Re: Scalpers

ingvar51 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:45:15 GMT

It says Ebay on the site not our site it is Ebays responsibilitie to
prevent these scammers and scalpers and profiteers or bring itself into
disrepute.

Re: Scalpers

ingvar51 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:47:15 GMT

If you think that then you must be suffering from a lack of morals . Ebay
allowed those listings on thier site they become Ebays problem

Re: Scalpers

pixiesen2012 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:48:16 GMT

if people just didn't buy the items at the inflated prices the problem wouldn't exist

Re: Scalpers

ingvar51 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:50:15 GMT

If Ebay had just not allowed the profiteers to list things would be better

Re: Scalpers

pixiesen2012 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:56:11 GMT

it isn't up to ebay to decide how much profit a seller can make

we sell in the collectibles market and we sell items for a lot more than they were worth when they were first sold, our buyers decide whether to pay our prices or not,

Re: Scalpers

ingvar51 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 14:03:15 GMT

Im not talking about antiques or rare items thats just semantics and it is
Ebays site therefore it is Ebays responsibility to put a stop to the
practices of the scalpers profiteers . So trying to be clever and blame the
buyers is a bit low . When the owner of the site has a contractual
responsibility to its customers to prevent practices like the profiteers
have used .

Re: Scalpers

pixiesen2012 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 14:07:53 GMT

the items in question are rare, because not enough were issued by the manufacturer, that is why people are willing to pay over the odds for them,

the manufacturers know how many items they should issue but always provide under this amount and create the problem, they are the ones who should be changing their practises.

Re: Scalpers

ingvar51 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 15:57:49 GMT

I was wating for this reply . All I can assume is you are one
that are doing rhis so theres no point talking to you . I hope all scalpers
find natural justice and suffer for thier lack of moral fibre and general
lowlife tactics and nobody buys from them now im going to find every post
on ebay and put in a complaint for profiteering . And I sujest every gamer
to do the same

Re: Scalpers

redwick1 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 14:23:49 GMT

Absolutely disgusting to call anyone scum especially on here and all the work that pixiesen2012 does to help members

You dont understand what we are saying because you are not on this member to member thread and dont see all the posts and problems

Please do report every post you can find
That is what we do besides replying to people like yourself
WE do something about it in our own free time.What action have you taken up to now except keep us wasting our time trying to be polite to you

Re: Scalpers

pixiesen2012 — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 14:41:39 GMT

no, I'm not 'one of those people' and I don't appreciate being called names

I know it is disappointing when youi can't get the item your child wants for Christmas, but there is no need to be so rude

blaming ebay for the problem won't change things

if ebay stop them from selling here they will just move elsewhere

people have to stop paying those prices, then they 'scalpers' would stop.
