PayPal Community

There are others out there, beside myself, that have had issues with product purchased on eBay.  I have read your stories.    We have all gone through the laborious dispute process (I can see why PayPal doesn't want to make it easy- it's bad for business/profits) Finally! We win the dispute and have to pay the shipping costs back to the seller before we can recieve our money back. Wait a minute... we have to send it with a tracking number?  But that costs (in my case) MORE the value of the item! ( $41 purchase price/ $71 tracking to China) SO I end up PAYING another $30 just to give the defective merchandise back to the seller so he can scam someone else???     This isn't fair. If something is purchased under good faith, it should be the seller's responsibility to cover all costs of return shipping.  When I have sold items on eBay, I made sure that everything worked and every defect was described.     A class action lawsuit should be started against PayPal to get the refunds due for all the affected buyers out there.   -any good lawyers out there wanting to take up the charge?   ...

I purchased a set of replacement transmitter keys for my vehicle only to find when I took them to a locksmith to have them programmed that the keys do NOT have an RFID chip in them.  When contacted, the seller (keyo1e) told me to take the chip from my (working!) key and put into the new one supplied by him. Does this make sense to anyone?  Another issue is the ad clearly states that they are a US seller (big colourful image) and that it ships from San Francisco. When it arrived, it was postmarked from China.  The seller's response?  We don't claim to be US seller in our listing.  Hmmm? What's that big Red White and Blue "US Seller" image all about?? When a PayPal dispute was opened, it took less than 20 seconds for a denial from PayPal to come through.  There is no apparent way to contact PayPal to ask for a review.  WTF!?! Makes me want to tell eBay (and everyone I know) to only buy anything if they are willing to risk losing their money.  BTW, I have over 300 other successful transactions. I am not a newbie.  http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2Pcs-Uncut-Remote-Head-Ignition-Key-Keyless-Entry-Combo-Transmitter-Fob-4-Btn/142537545078?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649ket ...
