These are just a few of the stories from buyers that ebay have 'screwed'. Ebay customer support from my experience and no doubt many others ALWAYS 100% stick up for the buyer even if they are lying! Ebay customer support are BIASED and THIEVES - trying to force us to reminburse them for refunding the buyer even if our listing WAS correct and even if it stated NO REFUNDS IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! Disgusting! It's theft! : “I sold a coat. Described it accurately. The jerk woman opened a case moaning about it supposedly not being as described (when it was). Ebay closed it in her favour and are trying to force £60 from me despite having already created me negative balance on Paypal before looking into everything- BEFORE! So it was like they already pre-decided that she was going win the case! - that's theft from ebay's part and biased!” - Anonymous "My buyer had a history of nagging people for no reason, easy to see on their feedback profile, but still ebay would not do anything about it. There are some people really playing the system and getting away with it! Makes me so angry!" - Anonymous seller “I sold a book on Ebay last year, posted it to Australia, and THREE MONTHS later the buyer emailed me and demanded a refund because the book wasn't a first edition like I had said (it f****ing was, liar). I told him if he wanted a refund.” - Anonymous seller "They always support the buyer over the seller, because obviously, that's the easiest way to know if someone is telling the truth or not :\” Anonymous seller Anyone who agrees with us and who has had problems with ebay being biased towards us when the buyer has been in the wrong - please sign! Ebay customer support shouldn't be allowed to get away with such treatment!!


I also think everyone (UK based only sadly) should contact Watchdog about them too! The more people who write to them about ebay being this way - biased! and forcing money we might not even have out of our hands! - the more likely Watchdog will help do something about it!

Seeing so many of you share your own experiences proves that this broken system is hurting real people every single day. I started this in a fit of rage after losing my own money, but now the momentum behind these stories is becoming impossible to ignore.

I have been scammed too many times and am fed up with it, and the non-existent customer service. Ebay just don't care about the Seller.

Although having irrefutable proof that the buyer was lying on his claim, the resolution centre just gave him a full refund regardless. When I did ask customer services to appeal they told me that they take the word of the buyer regardless of my proof. Ask to complaint and they would not entertain it. Worst customer services I have ever encountered.

Sent a brand new phone. Buyer said it was broken and sent back a smashed old one. Ebay sided with them instantly. Lost the phone and the money. Never selling here again.
