Yes, it is right beware on COD payment ebay.com. All the sellers when you ask conditioned to make payment on COD (CASH On Delivery) terms; they do not record the transaction and give you a negative tick to avoid paying commission to the EBay. And on top of this EBay have no proper communication and any helpline numbers where you can contact and tell them the problem of this kind. As you tear of the slip after the payment of the item.
It has happened that I have purchased a item from EBay and the item was not in working condition, but on complain there was no proper communication and the seller turned out to be a cheat and he was bend from the seller list but I did not get my refund for the dead item, and no communication of any kind.
So whenever you are buying any stuff you are at your own risk and many cheaters have taken the advantage of the same and sold their dead items and cheated the innocent people under the banner of Ebay.Com. And EBay dont mind it.
This experience has been for many times but they do not care about the same.
Please beware when making the COD or any kind of payment to the seller on EBay.
