I had written the Better Business Bureau 2 times regarding my eBay complaint as a seller and their unique method of collecting funds for monthly fees. Their accting system became suspect so I did my work and finally showed hard copy proof.

When this once again fell on the desk of someone so inept he didn't know much about eBay, moneypak and how it6 works with eBay and didn't even know PayPal was the golden child of eBay. I asked him if he were a contractor, call center doing outsourcing...he confirmed he was an employee. He spoke as though he was an educated person, just not on anything regarding his place of employment. I took my time writing things down, typing it up in a easy to read format asking them what I can do or what can be done.

Nothing. I wrote another letter to BBB asking how can a company be given an A+ rating when just on the BBB site there were almost 200 eBay complaints. Again, nothing. I did my research and discovered eBay is on the BBB board of directors.

Man, their stock with me fell faster than the time it took to throw Martha Stewart in prison. I there anything, anyone who can help fight this insane madness that these corporate bullies get away with day in and day out?

EBAY: False Advertising Claims:

โ€ขShipping times are not accurate for some sellers -- too short.

โ€ขSeller ratings are not accurate --ratings elevated by Ebay Policies.

โ€ขEbay protects bad sellers -- as long as they are producing revenue for Ebay.

โ€ขEbay does not offer customer service as advertised -- Ebay customer support is designed to do put off complaints until customers give up and go away.

Part Not Shipped As Advertised. ========================= Seller could of shipped the part Monday; but did not ship it until Thurs.

Called seller 2 times by phone leaving messages, and emailed twice starting Tues. No response from seller to 2 calls and 2 emails. Seller responded only after I opened an eBay case. Wished I had ordered the part locally.

Note: all other parts ordered (after this part) arrived on time and were installed. Part was shipped 3 days late and arrived 3 days late. No communication from seller for 1st 3 daysโ€ฆ I do not recommend this seller! Seller Ratings Are Not Accurate ======================== Accurate, tack full feedback was left regarding the performance and communication of a seller.

It is was removed by Ebay. Ebay is protecting bad sellers. According to one Ebay rep โ€œit was removed under Ebayโ€™s seller protection programโ€. Upon research, this seller has a long list of complaints on popular blogs for Web-based sales.

It appears that โ€œEbayโ€™s seller protection programโ€ is now protecting some bad sellers. Partial list of recent complaints: - WORST SERVICE! Send incompatible part-We paid to ship back-Wouldn't Refund $ Apr-15-14 10:32 - all the plastic noses was brocken.Apr-14-14 20:11 - Bunch of clowns wrong parts customer service sucks Apr-10-14 17:31 - 1st Got Half My Parts Then They Were All Wrong Parts Dont Buy From Waste Of Time- Apr-09-14 19:18 -This item does not fit that car. Other companyโ€™s item is different than this one.

Apr-01-14 11:42 -Did not fit my 2013 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler.Mar-27-14 21:04 -The item does not hold vacuum pressure. It leaks Mar-19-14 13:27 -They sent me wrong parts, can't use because all parts are different. Rippoffs- Mar-13-14 15:02 -Seller sells junk quality products for the particular window regulator- Mar-07-14 14:41 -Part was never available and order was cancelled by vendor. False advertising.

Feb-27-14 19:27 Ebay Does Not Offer Customer Service As Advertised ============================================ Called customer service, routed to other countries. Customer service is useless; Customers are given scripted 'run-arounds' including being put on hold for up to 30min. One rep said supervisor would call back. But, they never called back.

With a limited understanding of written English, one rep clearly could not even understand the logged issue(s). I called Ebay customer support many times trying to resolve issues.

All Ebay customer support is designed to do is put off complaints until customers give up and go away.

When I was informed by ebay/paypal that they were going to hold my funds up to 90 days (three freakin months???) I quickly shot back with "no you're not" which they laughed at to tell me that they were as it is a new policy of theirs. We went round and round for a minute or two, me trying to explain it cost money to buy my product, shipping materials cost money, postage...

all were paid on the spot. ebay kept saying it was their new policy... fine. I'll let all my buyers know that it may take up to 3 months before I ship their item.

That this is due to ebay and paypal holding their funds that were paid to me, not ebay/paypal, but me the seller. Once the funds were released into my account, and this may be three (3) months, then I will ship the purchased item to the buyer. Not a minute earlier. ebay said I couldn't do that and I replied; "sure I can, it's my new policy" I was then put on their infamous "hold" for a while.

When the rep came back on the line I was told that the new policy would not apply to me. Funny how they don't care for their own medicine.

They did though win in the end which is where my original post stemmed from. ebay has turned into a *** company and paypal is following their footsteps like a shadow.

We have been an Ebay member for 8+ years and our feedback (976 feedbacks) are a SOLID 100%. As of 09/20/2012, Ebay and Paypal informed us that we ARE NOT IN THE TOP 2% SELLER CATEGORY, Therefore, they decided to HOLD MY PAYMENTS (that have been received from customers) for TWENTY ONE DAYS (21 days).

This is after all the hard work and maintaining 100% FEEDBACK for the last 8+ years and through ALL the PRICE HIKES. I HAVE chose to End my business with Ebay and Paypal and I will blog as much as I can about them.

I just got an e-mail from e-bay saying when I sell something on e-bay, I cannot withdraw any of that money for 21 days. I sell on e-bay because I need money soon.

not a month from now. I have %100% positive feedback, "a blue star" WTF??!!

Excellent idea and I will take care of this! This exactly the type of energy I've been looking for.

It's great to post our frustrations regarding this house of cards but action so speaks much louder.

I will research then post in the next few days. Thx again!

List the names of all the board members right here for us if possible. Los Angeles dot CBS dot com Then contact the channel 2 news desk.

Tell them about it and they can start the ball rolling, asking all of us long time sellers what we have been subjected to.

I dropped my stock like a hot potato too! It saddened me a little though.
