Ebay

I have used Ebay to buy goods & in all cases there was some discord with sellers.

My main grievences are:

1. There is info on what you are buying unless You have seen the product in street & want to get a bargain price. In any case the prices are mostly fixed & you nearly pay the same street price.

   
   




2. All warranties are sellers warranty & not manufacturers.

   
   




3. Most of electronic goods like cameras, mobile phones etc are GREY market products as the makers dont offer guarantee & service on these products.

   
   




4. Refunds & exchanges are very difficult & there is no human interface at Ebay to

   
   

get redressal. You have to electronically register your complaint over a complicated

E form & you get a standard preformatted E reply.

Be wary & careful before you bid.

1. most dealers I’ve dealt with are not courteous.

   
   




2. Lots of Junk goods & unbranded products.

   
   

6.Delivery charges are very high & mask profit margins.

All in all I ask people to be carefull before bidding on Ebay
