Avoiding eBay Buying Pitfalls
As with a real market, trading on eBay is not without its
hassles and snags.
First of all, it should be duly noted that eBay is an online
market/transaction facilitator. It merely becomes a means for
the buyer and the seller to meet.
Because of its online nature, eBay's auction listing provides
the buyers with a wide selection of goods. The buyers are also
enabled to review the buyer through its feedback rating. This
helps the buyer decide whether to pursue the trade or not.
The sellers on the other hand, benefit from a wider audience due
to the popularity of eBay because eBay enables them to post
easily, quickly, and extensively.
When eBay connects buyer and seller, the transactions truly
begin...as well as the headaches.
Even with the automated nature of most of today's transactions,
eBay is still built on the basic foundation of trading: trust.
A good deal of trust is involved in eBay trading. The buyer has
to trust that the seller is listing a legitimate item, and that
he or she will deliver that item when paid. The seller has to
trust the buyer to pay fully and without any catches.
Here are some of the problems one may encounter while buying on
eBay.
Seller does not deliver product This is the buyer's biggest
fear. However, it is also one of the most common snags buyers
encounter. Usually, when closing a deal, the seller will email
purchase instructions to the buyer. This will most
usually
include instructions for payment. The seller will then promise
to have the item delivered upon receipt of payment.
If the buyer, after fulfilling his or her part, does not receive
the item within the agreed upon date, he or she should
immediately try contacting the seller. If this proves to be
fruitless, he or she should file a complaint with eBay for
assistance regarding the matter.
Seller delivers a different/defective product Sometimes the
trading is smooth. Everything goes according to schedule.
However, upon receipt of the item, the buyer finds out that the
item is significantly different from its description on eBay.
What should the buyer do about this?
Good communication between the buyer and seller usually brings
about a speedy and satisfying end to any trading dispute. This
should always be step one for disputes.
Seller cannot be contacted to close deal or for questioning Most
disputes come about due to miscommunication between seller and
buyer.
But if the seller can not be contacted, that presents a bigger
problem for the buyer - especially if that person has already
fulfilled payment of the item.
eBay may help in this regard by furnishing you with further
information on the seller.
