Does eBay support scammers?

[jimjung27]

I always thought eBay was Ok until I got scammed and found out that eBay does not support you as a Seller. But rather the Buyer gets every break. They can buy stuff, get refunds based on BS, get you to pay for shipping both to and from the Buyer (for the Refund). And after all that, the Buyer can send back whatever they want from a empty box to something completely different from what you sent them. And keep your product.

And if the Seller complains at all, they get in trouble.

This means a Buyer can buy anything on eBay, get refunded and get the item for free.

Of course, this is due to eBay's competition with Amazon who offers free returns. And this is good if you sell batteries or office supplies but much of eBay's business is selling Collectors items and antiques. This business is not the same.

This has led to eBay Sellers are now opening their own Web Stores or selling on specialty sites or Facebook.

Is this what is going on?

Scammers are everywhere...eBay,Etsy,Amazon,Craigslist,Facebook Marketplace,etc,etc,etc...and yes indeed scammers of both selling and buying abound on Facebook Marketplace!

This is what has become of today's society-it's all about who can get whatever they want "free" and without consequence...There is NO safe place; NO safe site> NOT even a seller's own website!
