EBay protect their corrupt sellers.

[nurserykhrymes]

Around about one in three purchase transactions I make with EBay are fraudulent. EBay very carefully ensure that their sellers are completely protected and if you try and complain you are mischievously restricted to getting a refund when I really do not want a refund as the process is designed to ensure you fail to get dealt with. 
Ebay have descended into this racketeering and I sincerely suggest that you now shop elsewhere. They are a filthy scandalous operation that gives impunity to every last seller that pays them a commission. Even when I finally managed to get a call back, I picked up my phone immediately and EBay immediately out the phone down within less than two actual rings of my phone bell. This is not an accident. This is what they have descended to and hopefully they will feel the power of a rightfully angered ever growing assembly if buyers who do not wish to assist ~eBay’s filthy racketeering, because that is exactly what it has now descended to. 
Instead of bothering to get myself humiliated by attempting to get some assistance, which is futile and is obviously meant to get rid of justifiably outraged buyers I have found it less stressful to throw the garbage I keep getting in place of what I have paid for, into my trash dumpsters where it belongs and simply walk away because I am a 73 year old cancer patient who is both disabled and terminally ill and with very little time left on this planet, (thank God,) it is less stressful to accept that EBay has once again turned a blind idea to me being mugged every week than to find myself treated like vermin by EBay and it’s thieving con artists who appear to be the backbone of their merciless profiteering. 
I have no power to do anything but lose the money I gave paid every time EBay protects another one of its protected thieves and fraudsters. I am used to being targeted by both ruthless politicians, being a pensioner living alone facing my up and coming death in a cottage that is very deep in the Scottish countryside. As it is, I am targeted by an evil government that is stealing my pension and this means I have to spend what is likely to be my very last Christmas freezing and alone, partly due to EBay constantly allowing liars, false advertisers and con artists to trade with impunity. 
This is now happening so often that I cannot help but suggest that if you, too, are suffering from EBay’s disgraceful profiteering that flies in the face of The Act of Misrepresentation, 1967, that yiu break the habit of purchasing anything here not that EBay has the slightest idea of what that act stands for and nor is it the slightest bit interested in respecting that act nor any other laws. Treating The Act of Misrepresentation with unreserved contempt, which I am used to expecting in the Third World where honesty has very little value, is exactly what I get all the time from both EBay itself and from it’s filthy pit of small time criminal vendors. 
You have been warned. Trying to pas the evidence to EBay will enrage them. That is all you will get from them. Write yiur losses if and get the hell away from this sick and ruthless company.

"Around about one in three purchase transactions I make with EBay are fraudulent. EBay very carefully ensure that their sellers are completely protected and if you try and complain you are mischievously restricted to getting a refund" 

your feedback left does not support what you say and eBay can only enforce refunds, not replacements.

Buyer protection on eBay [eBay case / PayPal case / chargeback] is the best you can get.

[jckl1957]

If you get the wrong item, you have the option of returning it for a refund.

From your post, and the negative feedback you left, you choose not to use the Ebay Money Back Guarantee and the returns process.

That is your choice.

However, stating that Ebay ensure that their sellers are protected is just not true.

if you open a return for an item which does not match the listing, the seller has to pay for a tracked return before fully refunding you the cost of the item and the postage you paid.

That is a good deal for the buyer and a loss for the seller.

If you are frequently unhappy with your purchases, open a case, send the item back, get your refund and leave brief negative feedback.

Those are effective strategies.  Ranting about Ebay is not.

I refused a refund as it makes me look like the sort of sellers that you are protecting.


I have all the evidence I need to expose EBay and in the event of your continuing to try and silence those of us that your sellers are deceitfully advertising goods to, which is a fraud that you are trying to stop me reporting by ensuring that I cannot speak to anyone to report your sellers.

Providing protection to this sort of nonsense is endemic. It has happened to me three times in the last month. It doesn’t seem to matter that I am an honest and decent law abiding customer and I can only assume that you will automatically protect whoever returns the most revenue to you.

I was hung up on, the very moment your customer service heard me pick up the phone, in two rings. I am not a child. My last retail business was sold to a rival that I had an extremely good trading relationship with my company. In 23 years I ran my company with over 1000 items online. I did not have one single complaint in 23 years.

I have built and run several business and one of them is still paying me after 58 years so I really do not need a thoroughly shameful company lecturing me.

I have not left any Feedback on the offenders sites and being that you are guaranteed to help depend sellers who are still advertising and taking more fur products that they know full well that they cannot supply and that you are defending them, Trustpilot is my next destination.

I do not require refunds from crooked sellers because I whilst the money is small change and what I ordered was never even sent, let alone in their stock, and believe me I have absolute proof that that they are knowingly doing this I personally do not get my hands communicating with thieves and con artists that you are assisting in disgracefully misrepresenting their stock in order to profit from the stock they then dump on you. It’s a filthy practice and with over 25 years of global litigation between The Superior Court for The County of Los Angeles not to mention Queens Bench and Chancery Division within The High Court under the Laws of England so don’t waste your time thinking that you can bully me into silence. You are defending fraudsters and I am not going to sit here and take any more nonsense from you whatsoever.

I still share an accountant in The City of London who can and will instruct any chambers in this country that I ask him to contact. One of my privileges is that I receive service in these matters on a complimentary basis due to the enormous amount of business that I have done within the legal profession so if you want to treat with me before I avail myself of the remedy then I suggest you get a grown up to contact me.

I have built properties that sold in the £40m range in London, built publishing companies that have run for half a century and several other businesses. So don’t try teaching me company law.

I have asked for nothing but a phone call. The hang up trick is what staff do to shorten queues. I wasn’t born yesterday. Unlike your business if I ever caught a member of my staff treating customers the way you do O would not merely crack them on the spot but I would also issue proceedings immediately on grounds of contractual breach as a warning to others as to how I deal with impropriety or inappropriate conduct towards a customer. There again, I only ever ran respectable law abiding operations not the sort of squalid gang up on the customer modus operandi that Ebay seems happy to run .

I have been your customer for a long time. I have always been very conscientious in my Feedback. I consider it a civic duty. I suspect that this is a term that means little to EBay.

Finally, I am the one who has paid for goods that were never sent. I am now being further punished despite not holding my hand out, by EBay who need to be fully exposed for protecting bad practice vendors from getting caught. Shame on you. Utterly disgraceful but not surprising.

Yours sincerely,
M. Wakeford.

You are not communicating with anyone from ebay on these boards.

The people who have responded, like me, are just other members like you.  They are not our customer service reps and they are not our sellers.

Who is it you are planning to sue, and for what exactly?

[plpmr]

“I refused a refund as it makes me look like the sort of sellers that you are protecting. I have all the evidence I need to expose EBay and in the event of your continuing to try and silence those of us - - ”

I'm protecting?

I'm trying to silence?

Your “over 25 years of global litigation - -” will not help you when you sue me -

“I still share an accountant in The City of London who can and will instruct any chambers in this country that I ask him to contact. One of my privileges is that I receive service in these matters on a complimentary basis due to the enormous amount of business that I have done within the legal profession so if you want to treat with me before I avail myself of the remedy then I suggest you get a grown up to contact me.”

If you cannot even understand the workings of the boards you are publishing on you have no chance, no matter how esteemed your legal representatives are.

Dear Sir or Madam.,

thank you for your correspondence.

I should very much appreciate a telephone courtesy I call from someone at supervisor level as a matter of urgency. I did manage to get a return call booked but after only two rings having picked up the call and announced my name, the call was clicked off.

My communication skills with young people today are not as good as I should wish for so here is a little information that might be helpful to both EBay and myself in achieving a very swift solution to all parties concerned.

I am a 73 year of retired former CEO/ Director/Owner of several successful companies, now severely disabled and terminally ill and my time is therefore extremely valuable. However, I wish to resolve this matter in the hope that EBay and I can enjoy further trading despite purchasing goods that were worthless items that I did not order on three occasions within the last month or so, instead of those advertised and as I am sadly quite correct in pointing out that your complaints lsystem does not actually permit anything but refund, which is not a route I wish to take, nor need to, financially speaking, I should very much appreciate a call from a supervisor.

There is also a matter that I have already sincerely apologised to a seller for, in that I mistakenly put Negative Feedback onto their site. Ironically, it was I, myself, who asked them to contact you in order to assist in correcting my admitted error as a matter of urgency, only to find myself on the receiving end of a curt, sarcastic and wholly unacceptable rebuke which was intentionally provocative and completely unnecessary.

The seller, however, could not have been more gracious in understanding that I was accepting full responsibility and offering my fullest assistance to them in getting it removed. Such sellers are a credit to EBay and I could not have been more apologetic.

In the meantime, the Feedback did not make its way to the intended seller who knowingly advertises goods they do not have, for which I have hard copy evidence. They are continuing to do so albeit that they not even be aware that it is in breach of The Act of Misrepresentation. It is in the best interest of all parties to attend this.

My private home and mobile number is:
07802 634416.

I leave this matter in your capable hands and thank you in anticipation, for your time which is very much appreciated.

With kind regards,

Michael C. Wakeford.
