AH I see silence is golden .....
I've never sold a thing on evil bay and I probably never will so do the stories a one time GF told me count?
She was a bit of a wiz on the pc and used to build and sell selling websites as well as run her own selling sites and she told me many horror stories. This was some years ago but at the time I remember her telling me that changes to evil bays way of doing things were making it worse for sellers and she was considering pulling out.
She used to sell just anything from TV's, computers, golf clubs, suits and other clothing, huge numbers of DVDs, cameras even, just about anything really that she could get a good deal on and sell on. She used to try to get everything back and the stuff that came back was often not the item she dispatched. People would buy electrical items and return a same model (or there abouts) item with a different serial number, claim faults which weren't apparent upon return and generally pull any stroke they could think off. She laughed her head off one day over one muppet who wasn't happy with a Paul Smith (who??? but she sold lots of these) suit and returned a completely different make suit which she then sold for more than the Paul Smith one One great thing was the absolutely cutting replies she gave these muppets I wouldn't cross her
Maybe she only had a lot of examples because of the volume of selling she did but even so it reached a level of hassle that she wasn't happy with and forced her to consider coming off the platform. Dunno if she actually did leave but these days there are other places to sell on. Anyway, whenever I'm even half tempted to give evil bay a go I remember her and change my mind as just one scammer would be one too many for me..
