The only bad eBay experience I’ve had was when I ordered 80 NL-5853s for about
a dollar a piece...needless to say, this was too good to be true and the seller
kept sending messages about why they couldn’t send the package, and then went
radio silent. I will say that the process of getting a

seller a couple years ago where I won a bid on a rare RADIAC set with a

actually wrote that he couldn't afford to sell it for the closing price
because he

I've been buying from ebay/aliexpress/etsy with no issues, I probably have
500+ transactions over the past 10 years. But as with all internet orders,
I do have the occasional missing item or broken item sent to me. I've
gotten my money back every single time, ebay/aliexpress would 99% of the
My biggest issues with eBay in the past were not receiving and item though
it was a rare occurrence. I would contact eBay and they would tell me to
contact PayPal. Contacted PayPal and they would tell me to contact eBay.
One big circle j__k. Since the amounts had been under USD$10, I just wrote
I've never had problems with payments on ebay so far, but i have to admit
that i think ebay is getting worse and worse every day.
My biggest issue is that ebay is actively hiding items that can't be
delivered to your address. I have multiple addresses for shipping, but only
the primary one is
Thanks to everyone who responded. I am very frustrated with eBay, since I
get an email every couple of weeks telling me that "action is required to
put my account back in good standing". It sounds like I am a deadbeat,
rather than a paying customer.
I had considered opening a 'for internet use
@threeneurons, that is very sensible. As someone who had their identity
stolen I am very wary about any of this. BTW 'stolen identity' does not
mean they got my credit card info. It means they got my identity and went
around opening their own credit cards in my name, using my address and my
eBay has been doing this now, for about a year and a half. I've had no
problems, so far. Initially, I didn't understand why they did this, only a
few years after selling off Paypal. So It seemed kinda stupid. But I think
it has to do with some legal changes both in the US and in Europe. In the
Etsy sellers have nixies etc on themI quite liked that platform in the
beginning, but slowly their commissions grew higher and I gave up using it
as a seller.

Hi
So far I've not had a problem with eBay or Paypal but then I think I
have been following their rules when both buying and selling.
I tried to open an account to buy through Alibaba house of horrors and
they asked for a photograph of my passport, proof of my home address and

Good Afternoon,
For the last couple of years, I have avoided giving eBay my bank info and
SS #. I always use PayPal on line, mainly because in my simple mind,
keeping my information in one place, rather than spreading it out all over
