Is Ebay safe to buy from?

[junsoul]

I feel cheated and inconvenienced trying to receive replacement goods but follow through not completed. How is this monitored and when will will I receive my goods? To buy comes in days to replace faulty goods taking months why?

Forget Replacements they hardly ever turn up. Is just a ploy to run you out of time to use the 30 Day Ebay Money Back Guarantee.

"Is Ebay safe to buy from?" It is if you bother to read the MONEY BACK GUARANTEEand follow instructions.

Replacements sound fine IF they every arrive, but as you only get one case per transaction, the Replacement is not covered, if that too is defective.

Buying from strangers online will never be "safe". However, eBay's money back guarantee gives good protection provided buyers read the conditions, exclusions and time limits. Many don't bother, until it's too late.

You can find full details of eBay's money back guarantee see: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/money-back-guarantee.html

Buyers are often talked into waiting so long for promised replacements that it's too late to claim a refund. On eBay, if an item is damaged or not as described it's best to use eBay's MBG, get a full refund, then order a replacement if you still want it.

You can make eBay safer for yourself by reading sellers' feedback before buying.
