Ebay seem to foster scam culture and protect theives

[r.i.p-e-bay]

I personally think Ebay is a terrible site and hurts a lot of people. I have been using it for many years because I thought it was the only way to obtain rare items but I was wrong. I have been ripped off on most anything I have ever bought from this site especially because I am Canadian I get taken for even more. The items are already overpriced by the greedy sellers then on top of that you pay ludicrious shipping and import fees that are actally increased in a sneaky way to their favor. I would say out of fourty rare items over 1000$ in value I purchased over a ten year period ten of them are suspect to even being legit and a few for sure I already found to be conterfeit. From my experience I am actually surprised they get away with some of the stuff that they do and I am finally closing my account for good as I can no longer support such a disgrace of a middle man company that this is. Wake up and join me and you will all be the better for it (unless of course you sell on Ebay like a bottom feeder)

EBay has a 30 day Money Back Guarantee on items that are Not As Described.

In addition, you have 180 days of Buyer Protection from Paypal and if you used a credit card whatever the chargeback policy of the card is.

Did you not in ten years ever open a Not As Described dispute?

The seller is required to pay return shipping and to refund you on receipt.

If he doesn't he gets a Strike on his selling account which leads to higher fees, restrictions on the number and value of his listings, and possibly a closed account.

But eBay cannot take action unless you open that Dispute.

Feedback is not used by eBay to assess member accounts.

In the category i'm buying i feel ripped off like 75% of the time too. They do not hide the defects, but do not show them either. And they typically act like ''they did not know''. Like this they can sell scrap to people not complaining, and offer return/refund to people complaining, without having to worry

A lot of sellers on eBay are dishonest, but i don't think it's eBay. I think it's just a general selling culture. Real born sellers would try and be able to sell you garbage by convincing you that it's gold 

Anyway as said buyers are protected, and way more protected than sellers on eBay, if you receive something that you are unhappy with because it's not as described, it's a win case in favor of the buyer like 99.9% of time
