A Trail of Angry Customers
all over the Web

Dear Fellow Victims,

It  is easy to compile a pages of pain and frustration with this company by searching Google on   "eBay sucks".   If you want just a taste, read the  highlights below.  Both buyers and sellers get caught by
I am discouraged.  I think all of us in this new group of fraud victims have to kiss our money goodbye.  If you have any encouragement, I need to hear it.

REPORTS from the WEB
& I quote

SYMPATHETIC LINE BUT NO HELP
After getting scammed by a seller I used EBAYS "system" for resolution. Including speaking to Live Help. All their people must be coached the same way, "Oh I can understand your frustration..." I heard this same line from 5 different customer reps. They in the end leave it up to YOU to get restitution. I became a banshee and contacted Police the Bank and anyone else involved and we are now aggressively going after the perp. My suggestion. Do not deal with PayPal or EBAY. Boycott them just like you do Gas Stations that overcharge or any retail business that takes its customers for granted. I for one will tell 200 people of my poor experience with this company.

IF YOU'VE EVER SOLD STUFF,  YOU KNOW THE DRILL

EBAY MOTORS - BIG TICKET DANGER
Visit www.boycottebaymotors.com and see how ebay's policies don't protect users. They are a breeding ground for fraud.  Below is my wife's story of a vehicle purchase GONE BAD on eBayMotors.com.  Don't let eBay's poorly drafted vehicle purchase protection plan and dishonest sellers make you the next victim.

EBAY WEASELS OUT
Please note that I no longer trade on ebay because I am absolutely sick and tired of the way that they always find a way of avoiding responsibility when it comes to fraud, false buyers,malicious feedback,libel, fee refunds,scams, you name it - they'll have a clause to avoid it. ... As for apologies - forget it - you'll just get a lecture on how to avoid it happening again - EVEN THOUGH IT'S THEIR FAULT!!!

IF YOU GET HURT, IT'S NOT THEIR RULES, IT'S YOUR FAULT
I sent 1000 dollars through ebay using western union wire transfer. I was told in an email that the transaction was insured, however when I never received the product and the seller refused to contact me I was told there is nothing I can do except call the police, he lived in Romania so I don't think theres any chance in getting my money back. They made it out I was the one in the wrong. Not the fraudster, MUTOIU GELU.

RIGGED SYSTEM
After 6 years and over 50k worth of transaction as a buyer I can say without a shred of doubt that Ebay is the Evil Empire. Their scheme is cleverly formulated to maximize their profit at the expense of the buyers and sellers. When problems arise Ebay assumes no responsibility: Pitting the sellers vs. buyers and vice versa. Their feedback system is critically flawed to intimidate buyers from telling the truth. Do not enrich Ebay at your own expense. When everything is all tallied up you saved nothing in expense or money

LAWSUITS - 2003
THE FRAUD IS $1,000,000  -- SQUARE TRADE COVERS $800
On May 16th 2003, eBay suspended the account of "Liquidationuniverse," a reseller of Toshiba Laptops. Liquidation Universe was a participant in Square Trade's Seal Program. Every buyer that purchased from Liquidation Universe saw the Square Trade logo on the auction, promising them up to $800 in fraud protection, in addition to eBay's fraud protection of $200.

However, unlike eBay's fraud protection, the amount of Square Trade protection was the company's total liability. Liquidation Universe customers going through the process of filing for Square Trade's fraud protection would have to share the $800 in coverage. There are an estimated 1,000 - 6,000 victims in this case.
