Can ebay press charges on this seller?
My friend was browsing on ebay for an iPhone 5 and she came across one that was within her budget. It had an auction set up but it also had a "Buy It Now" price of like $420 and free shipping. So she bought it. There was a 7-10 day handling period (I guess how long it'll take the seller to ship) and she waited the 7-10 days and tried contacting the seller and still no phone. It's been about 3 weeks and she has no phone and no money.
She opened a complaint ticket with ebay and their suppose to be getting the money back for her, but my question is, this is basically stealing… Shouldn't the seller be arrested for fraud or something? Can't she press charges or Ebay can press charges?
Ebay will get her money back, let them worry about it.
If she didn't check the seller's feedback profile, she threw her money away.
Ebay is not in the business of being the police. They can refund the cost but they won't be pursuing anyone.
You and your friend need to stop freaking out… Her money will be refunded after a simple investigation is done… Geeze!
If you ask me it looks like they may have to get confirmation of the items in hand.anyone who uses the ebay site might make a phony outlet, so ebay might never caught the individual.many cyber criminals could use some computer virus to take your online account.ask your friend if she invested in any software protection.there's a good chance the Iphone offer could be strategic move from hackers.
Ebay doesn't press charges - only law enforcement can press charges
As long as she reported it to Ebay before 45 days, they will refund her money. Ebay contacts the seller and gives them 5 days to provide a tracking number for the item before they refund the money. If the seller does not provide a tracking number within 5 days of being contacted by Ebay and your friend paid with Paypal, she will be refunded. It just takes time to be refunded
- I didn't get my refund from the ebay seller? I accidentally purchased an iPhone 4s from ebay. Soon after realizing what I had done, I quickly requested a cancelation before it was even shipped. He granted it. I asked him if I will receive my money back and he says that the amount should auto-refund as soon as I accepted the cancelation. He said it would take 24 hrs for the money to be refunded into my account. It's been three days and I haven't received the refund. I've tried emailing him but no replies. What can I do now?
- I bought an iPhone from eBay, but the seller lied? - 1 Okay, so I bought an unlocked iPhone with no supposedly few scratches. What I got was a locked iPhone with many scratches. The seller doesn't accept returns. What do I do? I messages him already. What if he doesn't reply
- Ebay seller didn't sent the item, what happens now? I bought an iphone from ebay 3 weeks ago, seller has not replied to any messages, i paid 300 pounds through paypal to the seller… What happens now? Can ebay issue a refund even if the seller has taken my money? What if the seller deletes their accounts on ebay and paypal?
