have you ever bought items on e-bay recently?

I'm sorry. I understand that is a sad experience. I am new to online purchase and I only bought a personalized puzzle from a website, not ebay. I got it delivered in good condition and on time. I am scared about buying online. I don't know how to go about it if we don't get the item delivered. So, I think it is risky to go for online purchase when it comes to expensive items. I am planning to buy a used book from Amazon. What do you say?

I have bought several items from E-Bay and only once encountered the situation of the item not working. I was a USB cord for my mobile phone and all I did was email the seller and explain that the cord did not do what it was supposed to do. The seller was very good and promptly sent me another one. You will find that sellers on E-Bay will keep their customers happy because they don’t want a negative rating from the buyer.

Did you look over the feedback on the seller? It's always important to check this before you buy as well as give honest feedback once you receive any items so that other potential buyers will know if the seller is reliable or not. (That is, if they still do it this way.)

I haven't bought any items off of eBay recently, though I (or rather, my husband) have gotten a few things before. A couple of the items were just like they were described on the site. But there was one item that he had gotten that didn't seem so great. It was like the description for it was over exaggerated. But at least it didn't cost too much, and he has gotten his use out of it, so it's not like there was any really loss.

Happy mylotting!

Its a bad experienced for you wangkai, I don't have any problem in ebay, just checked the seller's feedback before buying.

im currently addicted to browsing stuff at ebay since i got paid my first ever payment from a pay-to-search site.my first item was a set of pc peripherals and what's funny is i didnt end up using my paypal account cause i didnt want it to run out lol

I'm so sorry to hear about your negative experience with the camera. That really is a sad thing.
As for us, we really haven't bought anything on ebay for a while, not because we've had bad luck with the things that we've bought, but rather because we haven't had the money to buy extra things. In the past I've used Ebay for all kinds of purchases and nothing that I've ever gotten has not been all that I expected it to be. I guess one of the main differences is that I've never purchased a higher ticket item from Ebay.
I believe, however, that you might be able to file a complaint through paypal to get your money back if that is how you paid for the camera.

hi there. sorry to hear about that. i bought bags from ebay. just checking how does the internet selling works. it went well. i think u better check the positive and negative feedback of the buyers as well as the membership of the seller. from there, i hope u're okay.:)

you really have to be careful what and who you buy from on ebay i find. my daughter wanted an ipod and i looked on there but choose not to purchase on from there. you never know! sorry about your experience.

I have never bought anything on ebay. I did sell some items about on ebay but I only sold items that were not broken. The way I understand is you need to contact the person you bought it from and they should have you send it back and refund your money. Good luck.

Hi, wangkai.

I am sorry that you have a bad experience on ebay. I think it's damaged so fast because it is a used item???

So far, i only bought books from ebay. A month ago, i have bought my son the used english story books from two ebay sellers. I am happy with the books' conditions. They are not that bad like i thought.

I think whether we will have good or bad experience, it all depends on the sellers. Normally i search for the reputation of sellers first. If their reputation is good, then i think should be ok.

I wish you have a happy online shopping next time

Have a nice day and happy mylottin!
