is it just me as every time i contact ebay with a problem, they keeping trying to push me into swapping contact details with the buyer or seller.

Even after i have been speaking via ebay messaging service to them and have got no where. Whats with them, i can't see how this would help. They even recommend this when the other party has been abusive.

 

because they cant be arsed to deal with it on your behalf

 

Lol sounds about right.

 

They just want your money and to hell with anything else .....

 

I tried to sell something on ebay once, about 10 years ago, ended up owing then 20 quid and some change, they threatened me with court and bailiffs, so i sent then 25 quid paypal.
They have owed me just under a fiver now for about 10 years, every month they send me an invoice for -4 quid or there abouts, thinking of taking then to court for the interest lol

 

I avoid eBay too, from the outset it was always geared to benefit the fraudsters of this world.

I do use it, but only as a last resort...I bought a Hansgrohe shower pipe from Germany via EBay, but only because the UK version was too long to fit...for some reason the EU has a shorter version available (and its cheaper). Obviously without eBay and paypal as a standardised transaction platform, trying to buy it via more traditional means will have been alot more tricky if they didn't speak English.

 

I think we have all had ebay horror story's, its just this communication thing that does my head in, i like buying things of the internet so i don't have to talk to people
