What has been your worst Ebay experience, yet?
143589
My last one in December.  I bought this 14K white gold charm for my Godchild as a Christmas gift.  The person I bought it from had lots of good feedback but didn't TRUELY explain the charm.  I outbid several people and won...this crappy, thin, bendable, hollow, lightweight, cheap heart charm.  I'm so upset.  It's probably worth about 1/3 or what I paid for it.  I was trying to save money using ebay but I ended up having to buy another gift for my Godchild and therefore spending more then what I had planned.\nThis was my only bad experience with Ebay.  All my other experiences have been quite pleasant and worth it.

Contact the seller and see what happens there first.\n\nIf you contact eBay they'll just ask what the seller said about it.\n\neBay's suggestions:\nThe key to successful transactions on eBay is direct communication between buyers and sellers. However, from time to time, misunderstandings do happen.\n\nHere are some tips that can improve your ability to work things out with your buyer or seller:\n\n    *\n\n      Presume good faith from the other side. Don't assume that your buyer or seller is acting unfairly or unreasonably. Usually problems are a result of simple miscommunication or mistaken assumptions. Make it clear to your trading partner from the start that you see the situation as resolvable, and that you don't assume they've acted with bad intentions. They will usually reciprocate, and you'll work out the vast majority of problems.\n    *\n\n      Focus on the problem, not the person. Talk about the situation you want to resolve and potential solutions, not your assessment of your trading partner's character. It may feel temporarily satisfying to "tell off" your trading partner if you think they've acted in an inappropriate manner, but it almost always makes the situation more difficult to resolve.\n    *\n\n      Threats and insults almost always backfire. Every eBay member's reputation is dependent on feedback left by their trading partners. Threatening a member with negative feedback or insulting them usually stiffens their resolve and makes them less accommodating and cooperative. While leaving negative feedback is sometimes appropriate, resorting to harsh measures too quickly can make the situation worse than it is. Try to use negative feedback as a last resort.\n    *\n\n      Look for creative solutions. Think of solutions where both you and the person you're trading with get what you're looking for. Believing that any gain for you is a loss for the other side leads to a combative, me-versus-you situation. Instead, think about common goals you share with your trading partner. If the seller sells the item at a fair price and the buyer gets something they desire (which was why both of you came to eBay in the first place) then both of you go away happy.\n    *\n\n      Remember the broader picture. Instead of getting caught up in the emotions of the moment, remember this is just one transaction among many more to come in the future. Looking at the situation through the eyes of the person you're trading with may help you understand the perspective from the other side. Sometimes the "winner" can really be a loser in terms of wasted time and negative feedback. Keep your perspective and you'll be much better off in the long run.\n    *\n\n      Customer satisfaction is good business. Sellers, sometimes being accommodating to your buyer can be good for your business in the future. Research has shown that buyers are 10 times as likely to spread word of a negative buying experience, as they are to talk about a positive buying experience. Buyers are more loyal to sellers that they've worked with to resolve transaction problems than to sellers where no transaction problem has occurred. Consider your reputation as your most valuable asset. \n///

Check the sellers feed back.  The good sellers will have very high positive feed back.  99.8% or more usually.  Read any negative comments to find out why people had problems.  I've had very few problems on ebay, and when I do, the sellers are usually very helpful and try to fix the problem quickly.  I usually get better customer service there than if I go to a real store.

I have experienced this problem before with Ebay and I believe their general rule is to reply with a "cut and paste" response...not very helpful. \n\nThere was a feature about this on Watchdog, if you missed it check out the website for more info\n\nwww.bbc.co.uk/watchdog\n\nNot that it will help your situation...but you're not the only one out there experiencing this...

Hi!Ive been in the same situation.I Ended up actually calling the seller and asking them,where my item was.I told them,I had already BEEN sent a payment to them and they should have got it by the time I sent it.I then consulted the rep. on Ebay.com and asked them if I was elidglible for a refund.They told me it has to be over $25.00.So if your order was over $25.00,then your elidglible.

You have your occasional bad experiences, but look at these things the next time you buy something off of eBay\n1) Look at the Seller's feedback rating (if it's around (97-100%) and a high number, your usually ok and that person's usually a good seller\n\n2)See if the seller has a money back guarantee or a refund policy, they say when you sell on eBay 72% of buyers say that a refund policy is crucial for buying.

I wouldn't pay. Contact E-bay and ask why the listing was removed. Until e-bay gives confirmation that it's safe or a reason why the listing is no longer there, I'd hold on to my money.

Unfortunately the problem is probably all with Ebay and it will do little or nothing to help you.  I joined Ebay in 1997 was both a seller and a buyer and the same credit card that I have been using there for years, was suddenly no good to recieve a $5.47 credit.  I finally told them to keep the money and closed the whole account.  Ebay has become one massive, bloated, unresponsive bureaucracy.  My suggestion, is keep the card, drop Ebay.
