So basically I bought a processor off of ebay second hand. The thing turned up in a small plastic bag, with the huge heatsink in the same parcel which bent the pins. Obviously it doesnt work.

Tried to get my money back seller wont budge. Contacted ebay and they went with the seller.

So now I'm down £80 and have no way of getting said money back. :mad:

Oh and I left feedback for the poor packaging etc and ebay REMOVED IT. So the seller still has 100% feedback. Never new ebay were so rude and arrogant and controlling.

Scandalous! E-Bay side with seller!

Bad luck there, really bad luck.

Do you think eBay made the decision based on your feedback?

koooowweeee · 27 Jun 2015 at 18:13

Contact PayPal. You can always send it back if your not happy. Unless things have changed

Surprised at this, they usually go with the buyer on all accounts! Keep going through paypal and you should get a refund

Yes I have gone the paypal route and hope for a positive outcome.

Well I left the feedback after the decision hehe.

You should have gone Intel

But seriously, contact PayPal and they will sort you out.

Recently sold a few bits myself.
Would have proffered MM but no access.

However all has gone smooth for me so far.
Really dislike using eBay with expensive things though.

What I meant is it's your first time using Ebay so you have no feedback as a buyer or seller?

I recently sold a cpu for about 80 quid on eBay. Guy on other end must have bent pins trying to seat it. Lucky eBay sided me the seller for once! Couldn't be bothered to take heat sink off as it was properly stuck

One time I bought a PS4 controller on Ebay and it never showed up, the guy claimed he'd posted it, offered a 50% refund, pleaded innocence blah blah. He actually had not bad feedback (50+ 100% positive), but Ebay sided with me without question.

What irritates me is I couldn't then leave feedback - why not? I had a bad experience dealing with this trader and people should know about this before trading with said user, irrespective of whether I got my money back or not in the end.

Ebay can get to ****. I only use Paypal for other bits and bobs but ebay is absolutely awful. I'd rather get £1 for something at a car boot than £100 on ebay and then have to deal with the morons that inhabit it.

Not much I dislike more than ebay.

//I am also incredibly unreasonable when it comes to ebay.

dacads · 27 Jun 2015 at 23:11

Is there a week that goes by, without an eBay thread?

Still waiting for a sub forum..

Tephnos · 27 Jun 2015 at 23:14

eBay sided with a seller without any questions asked?

Conspiracy!

I've got a court date soon with Ebay over poor customer service, lies and horrific handling of a case which shouldn't have been sided with the buyer. The guy didn't even prove the item was faulty (which it wasn't by the way) and they STILL sided with him.
