Wow they are getting hammered!
Aside from all the obvious:
sellers having their money delayed
the odd buyer getting caught out by the fees
the usual of both sellers and buyers getting scammed, and let down by eBay’s so-called protection
poor CS
etc.
There are an alarming number of people having the accounts suspended, and often not being given a reason.
I know from old posts that this does happen – and I think it is usually when someone who lived at your registered address has their account suspended, as eBay seem to blackball an address, not a person. But I didn’t realise it was quite as frequent. And the posts on eBay seemed to be from people who tried to register a businesses account address through one of the services that gives you an address when you can’t register your own address (which is normally the case if you’re renting).
But the ones on Trustpilot seem to be normal (private) accounts.
One I’ll quote below:
“Absolutely awful experience on this site , I would rather stand in the street and give my things away rather then try to sell them on eBay . I sold some items them eBay told me I wasn’t verified and someone at my address had a suspended account , so they froze my account, I have £2000 in it . And they have kept my money . I am seeking legal action , avoid eBay , you have been warned”
