Ebay questions Please answer thanks

What if you buy something on ebay lets say a phone that costs 300 bucks and then all you get is something else..Do you get your money back? Does paypal put the payment on hold? What if you`ve already left a positive feedback to the seller..does the seller get in trouble even though you got no prove because youve left a positive feedback to the seller?

All I can say is that every time you make a buy over the internet you are accepting that there is risk implied in the transaction...
I have buyed a lot and to this day I never had any problems, but of course there are others that not ran with that luck.

First, why would you leave positive feedback until the transaction was completed.
That aside, you can still file a complaint with ebay and with paypal and they will investigate. But don't expect much. Their investigations are cursory at best, and most end with " there is nothing we can do " Ebay and Paypal make millions of millions of dollars a year, running very shady businesses .

here i am!
2 times paypal dispute running, 1 time leaved negative feedback in 5 years...
i suggest you not to leave feedbacks before item was received and tested for 24h....if u have issues with received item, first thing is to wrote a email to the seller, wrote him that if he don't want to remedy you leave negative feedback, but if you have leaved positive before, i really don't know what to suggest, maybe asking ebay to remove/change feedback, but first wrote to the seller and wait a reply...
with ebay you must be very carefull, and remember, nothing are free on earth (maybe in space... ), and cheapest items have a reason to be the cheapest one, think everytime on this when buying from ebay.

hi
In mortal
Don't worry about it. There are the every thing is confidential. Pay pal not able to hold your payment. You have to buy every thing from e bay because there is everything good and safely and confidential. So you cant fill the some trouble. Wish you good luck.

crap... i think i was just scam by this user Inmortal.
my first clue is after the sale, he deleted his for sale thread for the Touch Pro and now he's banned.
I think I am going to take action now before it becomes too late. Paid with Paypal and I hope my bank would help out to recover the funds.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME....i just paid him for a touch pro also!

this just proves that at least ebay is more reliable than some members here.
i have already opened a case with my bank and paypal to recover the money.

I bought a TM TP2 from someone on ebay about 12 days ago. messaged her a few days later and asked if I could get a tracking number ($12 + $5 insurance, so it definitely had one). No response but the next morning on paypal she marked the item as Shipped.
Yesterday I emailed here asking why she hadn't responded to me and why I still didn't have my phone nicely, but not TOO nice. She never replied, and when I returned from work today I still didn't have my phone. I followed up with a less nice message.
I'm going to email her in the morning if she doesn't reply. And if I don't hear from her or have my phone at my doorstep (or a UPS "we need a signature" slip) when I return from work, I'll email again. Once more in the morning, and if I'm still without a phone by 5:30pm CST on Thursday, I will be taking it up with ebay.
If I get the phone this week, no matter what day, I'm leaving the following feedback:
Rate this transaction. Positive
Please explain: SKIP THIS SELLER. ZERO communication TERRIBLE shipping OVERPRICED shipping.
How accurate was the item description? Accurate
How satisfied were you with the seller's communication? Very unsatisfied
How quickly did the seller ship the item? Very slowly
How reasonable were the shipping and handling charges? Very unreasonable

the battery cover does not include the NFC sensor, you will need to add one to it, to use the function.

back from china.
my supplier says the white cases, are not available yet in china, and will contact me when they arrive, I have ordered 35 pieces, also I did notice today that china in shenzhen, they just got delivery of over 100 black nexus s, all the shops were testing the units before they start to sell them, they were all wrapped in bubble wrap, and all are to be sold without boxes, the shipment was from europe or the us, without the boxes, they skip paying tax, that what i've been told.

So where to buy the cover 'cause at the ebay thing at the other post is postet that the list is ended so i cannot buy it i think, I'm right?

Market Place and paypal

I have been reading around and I have been noticing noone should buy with gift.
There are these two phones I would like but the seller wants to be gifted. Should I?

Moved to Off-topic.

Hell to the nah! The buyer is trying to get the exact amount for what they have posted. It lessens your ability to get your $$ back if there is ever a problem, its also against the marketplace rules. Read it and learn.
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.

If they are requesting gift payments then please use the report post function as this is against the rules.
As mentioned, this makes it much more difficult to recoup a loss and the seller is only doing it to avoid fees.

never ever ever ever pay with gift online, you are not secured, and if you tell PayPal you paid as gift to a seller that was a bum they'll say too bad and hang up on you.

He has been reported
Claims he did nothing wrong. Something about his feedback on ebay. He didnt reply when I asked if he asks for gift on ebay too

Ok, so I'm the guy he's referring to. I gave my ebay references to him and my fredmiranda.com reference. It doesn't look though that he bothered to check them. My objective was to avoid paypal fees, I guess the right way would have been to ask him to pay the Paypal fees himself. I know this is not fredmiranda.com, but over there, it is common practice to ask the buyer to either pay as gift or add the Paypal fee in the final price.
And I did just respond to his cynical ebay question. This could have all been avoided if he just said no to my terms. If he didn't like it, all he had to do was either suggest that he would pay the fee after I made it clear to him that I didn't want to pay the fee, or simply say no thanks.
Instead, he made this a bigger issue than it really is.

Really?
I'm a noob here and I am careful and read a lot of scam threads I don't think I did anything wrong

Oh sure, you're the victim here.
1) I get a low ball offer for 2 phones. I agreed any way... Better than taking up space.
2) I supplied you with actual photos of the phones.
3) I supplied you with my ebay and fredmiranda.com accounts so you can check me out and cross reference my accounts.
4) If you bothered to check me out in fredmiranda.com, you'd see that I bought and sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of photo equipment... And not a single negative feedback!
5) And with you... All this for what? $50? Yes folks... For a $50 transaction for 2 phones.
This is definitely not worth it.

It's been stated countless times to add Paypal fee into final price. why should it be up to the buyer to do the math for you? I hate when i see for sale threads with that crap on there. Just have it all factored into the final price. Simple

If you would have said you would put the sale on eBay you would be shipping them out already.
The lowball offer he's referring to are for a palm pixi and pre two dead phones with no future but I like webos but wont pay out the nose

This isn't the place to discuss this. Use the PM system to chat about it as it's nothing to do with anyone else.

C'mon brother; I just don't see the need to be all bent out of shape at the moment. Whatever's going to happen will happen; if Google sends me an email telling me they ran out of phones and I won't get one for three weeks or my screen has a big fat yellow mark on it I'll join you and get mad. Until then, I am just enjoying the ride and the energy of the forum right now. It's a good time for some levity in the face of all the tension and angst.

Well do I sound mad with this thread?
Did I whine in the play store shipping thread?
This is a poll. Not a nerd rage coliseum. The first post you posted in this thread sounds like this is another nerd rage coliseum. I'm not bent out of shape. If you think starting a poll of this type is bent out of shape, then I'm glad I don't work for the government.

Ordered 8gb model at 11:34am EST Tuesday, did not receive confirmation email but play store said ship on 15th and wallet said pending. Bank account was charged minutes after placing order.
Received tracking number at 4:38am EST this morning. Play store says shipped and wallet transaction is complete. Tracking number returns no information yet.

ROFL. Didn't notice it's Windows 8.

Windows! And SHIPPING! AHHHHHHHHH!!!! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Wishing they were available to order.

I ordered a 16GB at around 8:55AM on Tuesday. I didn't get a shipping confirmation or order complete notification, but I was hoping I might get it today since I got in 25 minutes after launch.... but there's no sign of the morning UPS man so I guess it'll likely be next week. :/

ordered the day it came out. got a tracking number and it says 2nd day air. the tracking number works now. should deliver monday. cant wait

Proper procedures?

Some may know I recently purchased a Note 3 N900A from a trusted seller via Ebay. Upon arrival, it worked for a total of 4 days. I received a message from the seller "I'll buy back the device for $100. 1/4 of what I had actually paid for it! Through me off a little bit. Next morning, tried to make a phone call. "This device has been blocked from network use."
Now I'm pretty sure you can put two and two together. First receive a buy back message, ignored it. Next, find your device "blocked."
Consulted with the seller. He has no intentions of unblocking it because I refused to sell it back to him for 1/4 of what I had paid. Claims he tried to unblock it but we all know. "It's blocked under an At&t account. Only the blocker can unblock it."
Now I have receipt, everything. Prove it was an actual legitimate sale. Talk to Ebay and I just bounced around, "transfer here, transfer there." I know the seller doesn't have an At&t account but where he got the phone from. She had an At&t account. Upon time of purchase it was not activated on an account. Yes I've done my IMEI background check before purchase.
What would be the correct procedures handling this case?
Probably best answered from ones who had ran into the same issue.

What I'm thinking but resolution I'm hoping for is. Device gets unblocked because with ordering a refund. Having to wait for it to credit back to my account. Another royal headache! Anyone familiar with disputes on PayPal?
I have from the actual Ebay listing sale to text messages claiming he's not interested in unblocking it.

and with this being a recent purchase "last week." PayPal may be the only bail out. Ebay isn't help. I keep getting "Please hold and that hold will last 30 minutes, sometimes 45." I do know at point of sale. IMEI was clean but once it's ran again. They'll see its not. Which will lead to questioning the seller.
Mentioning the police in your previous reply RErick. Thinking if I called the local police department where the seller is located. Would give him boost on the ass "Hey, you need to fix this or refund" thought?

Yeah the police could help. But with eBay you gotta file a dispute online. Click on your purchase and you should be able to file one. I would personally go with all 3 routes

That dispute status sitting on my Ebay account has been in the state of "in progress" since mid-last week. /:
I'll check out PayPal and do some digging with his local police department. Since At&t was no help! I know I can get it unblocked from the original owner if I had her name/number. Simple if she knew what he was actually doing. 9/10 it would be unblocked.
