(4,434 posts)I bought a couple of knives from a seller and never got them. Contacted ebay and they said the seller had disappeared and they could not reimburse me because the total came to $59 and they only reimburse people when the total is a minimum of $60. Guess I should have bid one more dollar. Guess I should have bought the knives someplace other than ebay.
Another time I got an email from a seller in Oklahoma (700 miles from where I live), congratulating me on successfully bidding $1,200 on a scooter she was selling. I never bid on the scooter or even looked at the auction. She accepted my explanation but wasn't happy because she had paid whatever amount to place the ad. I did a password change when that happened, even though I saw no other evidence that my account was compromised.
After those two experiences I just stopped using ebay.
