Awful company to do business with if you are planning to sell inventory. I have been selling cars on eBay since 2000, giving them $10000s of business over the years. Just in the last 12 months I gave them over $8000 in business. The greatest inequity is that as a buyer, you can leave any feedback at all (negative, neutral, or positive). As a seller, the ONLY feedback you can leave for ANY transaction, REGARDLESS of the circumstances is POSITIVE. The only recourse you have in dealing with a non paying bidder, or worse, a bidder misrepresenting the facts, is to "report" him/her to ebay. I have followed these ebay guidelines each time and of course, nothing ever happens in the way of anything resembling justice. Not even in the case of feedback EXTORTION!
I have worked very hard to build a reputation and ebay has no qualms about throwing me or you under the bus to further their own "impartial" agenda. Their customer service is nonexistent. Assuming you get someone on the phone (in Asia by the way), they will laugh at you and show you the door. The last straw for me was when a buyer attempted to extort me for money with the threat of retaliating with a bad ebay review. I disputed the review claiming the car was in an accident and proved the car has no accident reported by either carfax or autocheck. The only thing ebay cared about was the presence of VULGAR language in the review. That would have been the ONLY reason for them to intervene and remove the negative feedback. In other words, a review can be a heap of lies and will be allowed to stand as long as no vulgar language is used!!
I wrote a lengthy email to the executive board stating the facts and appealing to their common sense over 2 months ago and I have gotten no response.
Do not waste your money and time with this business. They are just another faceless corporation out to get your hard earned money and offer absolutely no support if you ever encounter any trouble.
I see a class action suit against ebay in the very near future.
