Fraud Sellers on eBay website.

[mahme_8701]

Hi Team, I have a serious concern on eBay trust & safety for buyers because as per my one of recent transaction, the eBay seller is openly doing fraud and I don't see any helping hand from eBay side. eBay is simply pull his hand in terms of policy while they should be responsible for their sellers and should have rights to take direct action on their sellers to protect the buyers money.

eBay sellers offers to pay the money via paypal using eBay messaging system and later refuse to sent the item and no refund. This is purely a loophole in eBay system when anyone can join as seller and do the fraud on the trust of brand name like eBay and even eBay don't take any precautiony action to stop this kind of fraud.

This is rediculious.

Please be aware of eBay sellers as those are not seems to be authorized eBay sellers.

Thanks

Hello, I'm sorry to hear you have been ripped off.

Please look at opening a Paypal account to conduct your E-Bay payments with. They are the best form and Paypal acceptance is wide - almost universal on here. You are covered for 99% of instances well by a caring team of experts in my experience and in my opinion.

This is not advertising or bragging on behalf of Paypal just the truth as to their effectiveness in being a better way to conduct payments and transactions than anything that has too much risk attached to it such as sending cheques / cash / postal orders etc.

I opened my Paypal account in 2004 after a seller who I paid by Postal Order ripped me - and I have never had a problem since. Please consider my advice carefully. Chances are this would be best for you and that it's the likely way you will prevent what has happened from happening again.

By the way I'm afraid E-Bay is not turning a blind eye or awkwardly refusing to assist you in this instance. This is as the previous reply says the oldest trick in the book and E-Bay probably finds the policing of all of these instances is difficult / almost impossible in terms of administration and loopholes / grey areas in the law in many different nations. So best to ensure YOU are covered to an extent that YOU are happy with: I hope this helps you out and you don't experience similar loss in the future.

Thanks Dear.. Really appreciate your motivational response.

I already have PayPal account since 2013 and doing all my transactions via PayPal. In this transaction also I have paid to seller as PayPal purchase but unfortunately PayPal is also not much helpful to resolve this issue. The reality is that brands looks good when everything is smooth but when something goes wrong these so called brands doesn't help.
