12 days for a refund to be instigated for a 100% inactive seller.

Ebay calls me on day 13 and I don't even give them chance to give me excuses. "At least you are getting your refund" is a disgraceful insult. I don't work here, I don't care any longer if ebay never realises the problem. Cue the apparent members of p...

Item not posted

I'm 53, disabled, no C.C. to verify age and likely wouldn't qualify for one. Had Ebay account 22yrs.

Hi all, as per title, I'm 53, I'm disabled and on disability benefits so I likely wouldn't qualify for a credit card even if I wanted one as I'm not working. I've had an Ebay account since 2003. I now can't buy any bladed tools due to some new U.K. l...

Hi,Does anyone know how I can get ebay to send/resend a delivery notification including the barcode used for Click & Collect? They usually send several reminders if it isn't collected straight away, but I haven't received a single one and therefore c...

Return of Large Tape Recorder?

I won a fairly large reel–to–reel tape recorder last weekend in a standard auction–style listing, and it certainly wasn't cheap because there'd been a lousy bid–war on it and it went well into three figures! . . . Yesterday morning I was woken up by ...

Uk buyers now not allowed to buy from America!

Has any other UK buyer had this problem? I'm absolutely disgusted with eBay for ever implementing it. It's so discriminating and weird. Basically if you're in the UK, you are now no longer allowed to buy from any seller in America, no matter how hard...

Seller asked me to cancel as item got damaged, I did, but he has not accepted cancellation so has my money and the item. My purchase list just stays as Cancellation Pending - so what can I do, all I get on ebay is obviously A.I. that doesn't understa...
