  It's common practice by fraudsters to list high value items at lower than market value, and to include two images. One of the item for sale, and the other is a black and white image with a message to contact them at an email address.   It would be trivial for eBay to run an algorithm against upload images, to identify these.   If someone's selling a motor vehicle and one of the images is 75% white and 25% black, it's a fraudulent listing.   It's not difficult.   If you look at high value motor vehicles, you see them all of the time.   I know the fraudsters would then adapt to this; but it takes low effort on eBay's part and they ought to want to stop fraud, surely? ...

I recently sold an item on Ebay and the transaction went sucessfully- including positive feedback from the buyer. However I have been receiving emails from an unsuccessful bidder who firstly requested I cancel the sale so he could offer me a higher price. I refused. He has subsequently asked for the sucessful bidder details so he can make them an offer. I refused to do this. He has now looked at one of my other items and is asking questions on that- and also asking me to contact the successful bidder from the sold item! I have sold on ebay for several years but never encountered an issue like this. I am concerned that if he buys something from me that negative feedback etc will be left. Has anyone else experienced this type of behaviour and how did you deal with it. ... View more

  I recieved a partial refund from a seller but found I can no longer leave feedback. This seems unfair as it was a terribel service and people should know. ... View more

It was nothing sinister, it was for bicycle frames. I asked the other person who uses the computer apart from me and they never saved that search. I removed it but wonder if I should be worried about this. Is somebody trying to access my account? thank you for your help. ... View more

I recently had a potential buyer contact me 3 times regarding an item I was selling . He said he wanted to buy the item and requested bank details and my address .   After the 3rd message I blocked him . When I tried to report him , I am finding it impossible , as he did not buy the item . How do I report this person , so that he doesnt try this with another user ? ... View more

My email was somehow compromised recently. They have been using my email to change my passwords on ebay, facebook, etc, and also trying to create new accounts with companies with it. Consequently, i'm very very wary now of all emails. I noticed that the ebay email address is sometimes different, although both appear to be genuine, content wise. The only difference is the capital B in the word ebay (the one within the brackets): eBay [ebay@ebay.co.uk] eBay [eBay@ebay.co.uk]   On calls to ebay, no one seems to know anything about it.  Has anyone else had this differing ebay email address?     ...

Hello All,   I purchased an "opened - never used" item from a private seller for ~£800 on 12th October. The seller has a 100% positive feedback score of 300 and has been on ebay for over 15 years.    I contacted the seller on the 13th to ask for tracking details and they responded politely, saying that they would post on the 14th.   On the 15th, I asked again for tracking details but have received no response as of the 16th. The estimated delivery date is 16th-17th October.   Becoming suspicious, I did some digging:   They've only sold one item in the last year. They are currently selling 10 items, all under £100 and all "new" or "new other" condition. 4 of the items for sale have photos taken on a plain blue table which, to me, puts a tick in the "probably not a scam" column The photo used to list the item doesn't appear to be a stock photo and I can't find it anywhere else using a reverse image search which, again, swings me away from thinking this is a scammer using a hijacked account. How would you proceed if the seller fails to provide tracking information by the 17th (the expected delivery date)? I paid by credit card so I could issue a chargeback or report this to ebay. I'd prefer to make a chargeback as I trust my credit card provider more than eBay to make a swift decision but I don't want to risk the seller incurring fees if it does turn out to just be a misunderstanding.   Thanks in advance for any help.   Edit:   The item finally arrived - it was dispatched 2 days after it should have arrived. The seller had a sob story that he thought he might have Covid. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on that but the item was listed as "opened never used" and is obviously not new. There's evidence of wear on the item, some damage, a manual for a peripheral that is only sold seperately, the box has a sticker with a previous shipping address that doesn't match the seller's and another warranty return sticker on the box states that the item was returned "DOA".   I'm going to return the item for a refund. My question is - who is responsible for return postage? Me or the seller? The item has obviously been misrepresented so I would think the seller should pay. ... View more

Why are the reporting an item drop down menus so limited today?    When I'm looking for something, and hoping for a bargain, I keep finding businesses giving their phone nuber or web address likely trying to 'avoid ebay fees'.  I makes me so annoyed, I click the report item box but find today that there are only a few categories to chosse from and loads are missing.     ...

I was just wondering do I still pay the seller with a non-registered account days after winning my bid. I won a bid from this seller some days back and now the account is non-registered the seller also has one feedback but has been registered since June 2020. I was just about to go and pay that seller and I see that the account has been non-registered. Is it a scam ? Will I lose my money if I pay? If I they have a non-registered account now do I still have to pay? By eBay law of winning bid. ... View more
