In reply to the discussion: Buying from Amazon and eBay. I find that I trust Amazon more. [View all]hlthe2b
(102,225 posts)23. I don't understand. I've had a couple items never recieved & nonresponsive seller on ebay & ebay
refunded me (granted after several weeks waiting) on each under their buyer protection program. Why did they not refund you? Are you using paypal? (because I think it is the paypal guarantee that backs the refund)
I have always had Amazon make things right for me too. Granted, I've been a Prime member for many years (which helps, I think) and am judicious about what I return. I likewise don't tend to make a big deal about Prime shipments that are a tiny bit late. They have likewise made things right with corrupt 3rd party sellers who never shipped (and likely never had the product to begin with).

The other accounts of experiences with eBay under this OP so far don't chime with mine at all.

You should have contacted the seller and left appropriate feedback depending on the outcome.

I didn't mean to sound critical of you, which reading back, my post could have seemed.

Ditto, I know most purchases will be delivered in 2 days with Prime, ebay sellers mostly use USPS!
