MC eBayers Beware!

[Ilikemuppets]

The frustrating thing about eBay and other sites like this is that there is really no way of telling if the person on the person whom you are buying from is an honest person or not, and that is very the very unfortunate part.

I've had two experiences buying things off e-bay and they were both good, but I've heard so many horror stories as of late that I'm inclined to not do bussiness there ever again!

Well... You just gotta remember it's a business... And some deals will end up done well, others won't. Just gotta air out everything before committing to buy... And maybe know who it is you're buying from. Only had a handful of deals that went badly, but I'm OK doing business there. Unless I'm doing business with you guys here on the boards... And even then, you might need to beware which is why we set up the Seller Feedback thread in the B/S/T section.
Hope this helps.

I've been an eBay buyer since my senior year of college, and in the past three years I've only had one semi-bad experience (and the guy wasn't trying to rip me off; he just needs to learn to communicate better with his customers).

One of the important things to do is to keep the lines of communication open with the seller. And when you do: BE POLITE. Even in the relative anonymity of the 'Net, politeness can go a long way. More flies with honey than vinegar, and all that. You can leave feedback for the seller, but they can also leave feedback for you. And you don't want to receive negative feedback because you were an [CENSORED] to the person you purchased an item from.

did u get ur money back from ebay? that what i did yesterday filled out a "Not Received Item" on ebay and it sayed it would take em 30days! y sooo long? grrr... lol, i hate ebay now! haha

Well... If you hate it, that's your feelings toward it.
But if you filled out a claim with paypal.com, that should be enough. Filling out another claim with eBay is basically unnecessary. After the claim's initiated with paypal, if they haven't gotten any cooperation from the seller in 10 days, you automatically get the money recredited... Unless it's a multiple item purchase, then it takes a bit more time.
Hope this helps.
