[Resolved]  eBay India — ebay.in Guarantee is a scam

Wanted to share my horrific experience with ebay india, to caution other online customers.

1) Purchased Blackbery device from Seller=mobmantra1 - PaisaPay ID [protected] on 23Feb2012
2) Exchanged emails with seller, who confirmed on email tht the device is genuine and new in original blackberry packing
3) Received product after a week, the product was not what the seller had promised to ship.
4) Under the ebay.in guarantee, I raised claim # 81605 on 09Mar2012.
5) No action from ebay.in for 2 weeks. I then called up customer support - they said they will escalate this to their claim department.
6) The seller called in the meantime and agreed that I should send the product back to him and he would instruct ebay.in to refund my money.
7) Deafening silence from ebay.in. Abruptly the status of the Claim is changed to Closed stating that the buyer has asked to close the claim - blatantly false. On calling ebay customer support I learn that the status change has been done by Nilesh Tambe.I call ebay cutomer support on 24March and I also drop ebay india an email - no response
8) I call up ebay customer support again on 04Apr2012, they patch me up to Ravindra Pandey. This gentleman looks at the system and keeps repeating that the buyer has asked to close the claim. I refute this. Then Ravindra says possibly someone else answered my mobile when Nilesh Tambe called and gave consent - this is rubbish, I always answer my own mobile calls.I tell him that I am not satisfied with the redressal and want to escalate to the head of ebay India - he refuses to give me the details and instead asks me to drop another email to
<[protected]@ebay.com> which ebay india would respond to .He also says that they will retrieve the call details that Nilesh Tambe purportedly made to me and verfify.
9) There has been no response to my emails.

This is a blatant scam from ebay india - they make rosy claims on their website about safeguarding buyers under the guarantee. They just rip off people. There is zilch accountability. They just take customers for granted and take people for a ride.

I hope the govt agencies do something to penalise ebay india to stop such blatant misuse of the ecommerce platform in India. It is ironic that ebay india claims to be an evangelist of ecommerce in India - they actually practice just the opposite - this does not bode well for the Indian ecommerce space.

I hope established palyers like Amazon commence direct busness in India soon and wipe out the fradulent companies. I make online purchases on Flipkart, letsbuy and have had no issues with them.

Thanks / Sundara Iyer

Hi iyersundar,


Thank you for sharing your concern . We regret to know that the product you've purchased has stopped working. We at eBay provide 30 days of purchase protection, i.e., eBay Guarantee*. Since this transaction is +45 days we are not able to protect you under eBay Guarantee.

Therefore eBay would not be able to intervene in the same anymore, and hence would request you to get in touch with the seller and resolve the issue amicably.

I bought two laptops in past and never got any discount for Citizen of India !

Samarjit Barman is abused in Ebay India in past that his Consumer rights being the Citizen of India is abused that it is a auto process at Ebay also to count a Citizen of India.

So, asking Ebay to find the matter for the Indian Constitution also.

Thanks.

My story with ebay is horrible experience:

1) I buy a Samsung note 4 (white color for Rs.15, 639.08) from Gromo_deals. Feb 10th.
2) He sends me a BLACK / display broken phone!
3) I contact the seller about the defect phone immediately!
4) I raise a claim in eBay. EBay advises me to check with the seller before they step in.
5) The seller asks me to send the EMIE number, then he asks to send photos, then he asks me to send videos of the defect phone. I provided all! The worst part was that, there was no provision to upload videos in eBay requested by the seller. So I ask his e-mail id and through Google drive I send the videos.
4) He asks me to ship back the product. I ship it through India post.
5) He writes to me that the product I sent was not ours and the display is not ours. (In eBay e-mail)
6) Next surprise comes from eBay is that the seller didn t receive the parcel. That I should provide the proof of sending the parcel and the delivery run sheet.
7) I upload the sent receipt, and delivery run sheet, the weight and cost of the product to them in eBay Guarantee Portal .
8) I call up the seller directly, another surprise comes up is that the seller mentions to me that the received parcel is EMPTY.
9) Then I question the seller and put in eBay Guarantee portal also: How do the seller claimed in the e-mail to me that the product is not theirs and the display is not theirs: FIRST: They claimed they haven't received SECOND: they claimed to have received an empty parcel.
10) The seller accuses me that I have changed the display and now he has sent the product to service center. Now how the seller would knows anything of the display of the return product if he disowned the phone in first place?
11) The seller writes that he would send the phone I ordered! I agree to this solution!
12) Suddenly, a declaration letter from the courier. Now I am stuck with India Post declaration letter, as When I asked about this declaration letter at India Post office, they questions me why would they give one as they have no idea of what contents i sent..
12) Now, my seller has the last laugh and eBay too, even clearly knowing that the seller had cheated and lied throughout the whole process, In the end customer is the loser! Money, allot of time, energy, peace ALL GONE!
13) NOW I HAD ASKED EBAY TO ASK THE SELLER TO PROVIDE ME THE SAME DECLARATION LETTER FROM HIS COURIER WHEN HE SENT ME THE PARCEL I ORDERED FROM HIM>
(ITEM NAME, COLOR, EMIE NO, SPECIFICATIONS AND VALUE )

THIS ISSUE IS GOING ON FOR A MONTH! I TRIED MY BEST TO FIND A RESOLUTION WITH SELLER, I EVEN ASKED HIM TO SEND SOME OTHER PHONE TO COMPENSATE BUT ITS GOING ON AND ON!
NOW MY MONEY IS WITH EBAY, THE PHONE IS WITH THE SELLER! I AM SUFFERING HERE!
