Been having some really rotten experiences on Ebay lately. Lately being in the last 5 months. Been getting alot of Half-assed items.
Half assed being - ordering around 30 MC1495 or equivalents, well of course they never are the actual item, you get some Soviet equivalent. Plug them in to find out they're defunct. Return ship at my cost to Ukraine, Buyer Protection then closes the case and never hear from alexer1 again or Buyer Protection.
Buy 2x steering wheels for replacement of rusted Death Race equivalents. Receive said merchandise to find the rubber on both
'new, in-box, undamaged' looks like it's been repaired/remanufactured and the second has a big ass gash in it. Your going to tell me they never seen this before shipping it? Now I have to pay return shipping even if they replace it?
Last few transactions on Ebay have been really piss poor on sellers side. Even if you utilize their Buyer Protection hogwash - they wait you out and then close it with no action after you jump through their hoops, sending them tracking numbers and copies of your messages and go through their entire process.

Wow, that sucks. I've had pretty good luck except for recently where I found a Galaga, did the Buy It Now only to have the seller cancel the transaction that night stating he sold it.
 
Well that's the first time I've ever been told to return something to recieve a full refund, return it - then never hear from the guy again. Wow-what a scam. And Ebay's Buyer Protection is about as useless as a 3rd tit. I called them directly concerning this and their end resosolution was that I go to econsumer.gov and file a complaint.
My opinion, the site is probably full of crap. Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network (ICPEN). As if the goon squad is going to go seeking Oleg Rozentsvayg of Odessa, Ukraine.
Runs as alexer1 on Ebay.
Maybe I should write him a message every other day. But then knowing Ebay I'll probably start getting threatening messages from Ebay saying I'm harassing him and not to violate their policy on harassment.
 
Your first tipoff should have been "Ukraine"...
 
yea your right. Like ordering something and then later finding out it's coming from mainland China.
Just got a note back from this econsumer.org

"Contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). File a claim from the IC3 website: http://www.ic3.gov/ . The IC3 is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National White Collar Crime Center. They will review complaints and refer you to the appropriate local, state, or federal agency."

Basically - your F'd. I am extremely unhappy with this Ebay 'Buyer Protection'.
