Fuck it, hit 'em hard. Been buying off eBay for 20-years, I like 'em. But this seems like a fine place to put our collective foot down and say, "No. You can't do that."

I was shafted by an Ebay seller who was nasty and awful. He acted like he was too stupid to understand why his item was not at all what I ordered. He had a 99.4% approval rating. I thought how the hell was that possible? I found out when I went to leave my negative rating and Ebay would not allow me to post the negative rating.

A seller shipped me a phone that was much worse than what I bought, and it wasn't even the same brand. I returned it. However, the seller wouldn't ship the right phone but still had the listing saying several were available. I couldn't leave a negative review, which makes no sense, and I reported it to ebay, but as of yet nothing has happened to the seller that I can tell.
It's really disappointing. I want an Amazon alternative, but it's tough if I'm going to have to go through this crap.

We might just have to do without an alternative. I haven't ordered off of Amazon probably 5+ years now, and it's fine.

I used to use them all the time, they've been super shitty for about 10 years now. They don't even show up in my searches anymore because I won't buy from them. Come to think of it, neither does Amazon, he he.
-
I'd think that would make eBay complicit in any scams they block negative reviews for.

They should probably go after Amazon as well.
