Its getting to the point im having to check, re-check, decide or not.. to buy things of Ebay as im very certain what ever i buy will be from china.

 

If i buy brake pads for my car i expect real brake pads! not chinese fakes that could have cost my life!

 

if i buy a new headlight for my car i expect a headlight that is EU and UK regulated. not a fake headlight that Fails an MOT due to it not being under EU and UK regulations

 

If  buy an item and its rubbish? i wll leave feed back accordingly however i dont expect well over 23 message telling me to revise my feed back to positive! and stll getting messages!!!!

 

If i buy a brand new radiator for my car, i dont expect the aluminum to be a sorter aluminum  than a soft drink can!!!

 

if i but a master cyclinder for my brakes i dont expect a mastercyclinder to be 3 times smaller than the standerd sizes!!!

 

if i buy a grahpics card, i dont expect a 12 year old graphics card thats been repainted and sold as the newest model !!!

 

ive had being ripped off more times in the past 3 years on Ebay over my entire life of shopping!!!

 

Im no longer trusting Ebay for

 

1 Quality control!

 

2, fake items!

 

3 false adverts!

 

4, pictures of items that are not of the actual item they are selling!

 

5, Photoshop images of items for sell

 

 

IF your selling a item. say a graphics card you should take photos of tTHAT graphics card... Not use the PRE images from Nvidiia or ATI !!!! because that ISNT the item being SOLD!

 

IF i sell my second hand FORD i dont go to FORD and USE there OWN photos to sell my second hand car!!!!

 

 

Ebay your are doing nothing to help your just making money and letting china take control of your system and soon it will be known as CHINA- BAY... tho many of us already call it that.

 

Im loosing faith in Ebay as i DONT WANT CHEAP chinese goods at the same cost as qaulity goods

i shouldnt have to go through all this stress with shopping!

 

Youtube is full of people who are angry and upset due to fake items, or poor items and ZREO regulations or Zreo effort to remove them of Ebay.

 

we all want to shop but we also want a remove china button on Ebay and we also dont want people trading in X country with stocks in other X countries just so they can confuse the buyer, lie or avoid taxes and shipping fees

This is the Answer Centre, for those who have questions that require urgent answers. To discuss this or any issue, or simply to rant, use Buyer Central in the Discussion forums.

 

And to complain to Ebay, use Help & Contact (link at top and foot of any page). No-one from Ebay comes to these Community boards, so no-one from Ebay will see your post.

Buy local and keep high street businesses going.. 

Use the advanced search and set to private sellers you are more lkely to find genuine or good parts that are from people who no longer need them.

I would never buy any safety critical car components like brake cylinders and friction material online, from eBay or anywhere else. Have you never seen the endless warnings from trading standards and consumer groups that this is how so many counterfeits are sold?

 

There are plenty of things it's sensible to buy on eBay, even from China, but you need to be selective. You have to take some responsibility for you choice to buy these items from unknown sellers on eBay. For your own safety and everyone else's, please learn from three years of bad experiences and buy your brake components from an approved dealership, even if they cost more.
