Ebay Wankers, Dodgy Ebay Sellers, Bad Ebay Sellers, Ebay Ripoff merchants

You know the ones:

They say it works but it does'nt.
They say "Item Location: London" but you get it airmail from Hong Kong 2 weeks later.
They say Imediate Payment Required but take a week to post you your new toy.
They say "We need your feed back to know you have recieved and are happy with your goods!". They mean: We wont leave feedback for you until you do for us in case you leave a negatory!
They say a lot of thing, few of them true, then when you complain the tumble weeds start rolling!!!
They leave a negative for you when you held up your end of the deal by paying but left them negaive...

The Solutions

Ebay could force sellers to leave feedback before buyers.
Buyers have the right to withdraw and change feed back without agreement of sellers.
Most of all Ebay could allow buyers to post more than 80 letters of feedback!

For the time being

You, if like me, are sick to death of these lying scumbag Ebay ripoff merchants (mostly Ebay businesses), can now post their Ebay usernames on this page along with a brief description or indeed an entire email conversation, on this site. There are 2 rules:

No personal details!

No Lies (Makes you just as bad as them!)

If you wish to leave a comment please fill out the form below and i will galdly post it (bad language included provided it is in good taste!!). Feel free to post entire email conversations, Ebay item numbers shop names and websites. The more info we get posted the less people will succumb to these dis honest rip off merchants...

PC Sold as working, PC Does NOT work by any measure of the word. Email seller hemplan with the following:

Dear hemplan,

Contrary to the listing, this system IS faulty. Upon recipt i inserted a
Debian Live CD and attempted to boot it but after a random amount of time
it resets its self for no apparent reason. The same applies to windows xp.
It seems to reset its self as soon as the OS switched for real mode to
protected mode!

One would think a relatively consise and easy to understand explaination of the problem!? But...It seems not!

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us about the blank machine that you
purchased.

Sorry but I don’t quite understand what you have said.

Do
I take it that you are trying to install windows XP from an original CD and
the unit won’t boot from it ?

Although the unit was booted and wiped
using it’s CD rom, you may need to check that the bios is set to boot from
CD.

Some of these old systems are a bit fussy with XP, sorry we’ve never
used Debian Live so can’t give much help with that.

If the CPU cooler
has moved or come off during transit it will need to be re-seated, this
will cause the unit to shut down.

email me back with some more specific
details and I’ll advise.

Best Regards

I emailed back at 13:40 with:

Dear hemplan,

With reguards to the problem i am suffering with the "Sold as working" item
that does’nt work... It has a broken power supply which i have replaced
with a working one. I am to presume that your lack of action and "I dont
understand what you mean" reaction to my initial complaint means you are
happy to sell a broken PC as working??? I give you until close of play
today to come up with a resolve for the problem then i will leave honest
feed back and would expect you to do the same (rather than the normal
retalitory negative!)

As expected, he didnt respond so i left the negative and am simply waiting for the retalitory negative!!!

This tosser stated on his listing that the postage costs would be for 24 other courier. I bought two lots of goods of him, which were Games Workshop Epic blisters...

After a week had gone by, I e-mailed him, being polite and curtious. No reply... Another week goes by. I e-mail him again, asking which courier he used and for the tracking number. All I got was a terse answer saying he’d look into it.

2 more e-mails followed, one in the 3rd week and 1 more in the fourth week.

Ended up doing a PayPal dispute - and now the sod has left retaliatary negative feedback saying that I am rude, stupid and obnoxious!

This "seller" has had quite a few negs for the same thing - so PLEASE AVOID like the plague!

Bought a guitar from this power seller.

Turned up with a warped neck and corroded frets.

I repeatedly tried to arrange return for a refund and spoke to them on the phone. This "Power Seller" lied to me repeatedly claiming they were away on holiday.

I turned up at the house and they didn’t deny lying to me when they were at home!

They later tried to make a complaint to the poice about me. I spoke to the police and they agreed it was the seller who was in the wrong.

I posted a complaint to Ebay and put on the feedback that the seller had tried to get me in the sh1t with the police.

Ebay pulled it saying it was defamatory!
It isn’t defamatory because it is true!
So avoid GUITARS-AMPS-INSTRUMENTS like the plague.

It is no wonder they have a good feedback score if Ebay just deletes the negative feedback!
