I bought a few things, nothing too expensive on eBay because I was mostly laid up in bed and a bit bored, figured I best avoid designer sites or I might press a button and end up with something really expensive, so I decided to buy a pair of Burberry jeans on eBay, they are real but they smell like they have been steeped in an ashtray for a few years, spent the weekend washing and rewashing them, that cold nicotine smell won't come out, I actually left a positive review as I thought I could get rid of the smell With 'Nice item but very strong nicotine smell' next thing you know I get an enraged email calling me every name in the book, she doesn't smoke (well, that seems weird because the smell is still pungent), I'm a liar, I am a mom on welfare with 50 children (I think I might have noticed having even one) and fat (yes, luv, that is why I wear a jeans size 26), can't afford to buy stuff in shops, all laced with profanities and how dare I give her a bad review (which I didn't). After telling her that I wasn't insulting, nor did I leave a bad review, but I have washed it 3 times already, in case the smell doesn't come out in the next 2 washes, I will return, that I don't care if she smokes or doesn't but I am not going to wear an item with that smell and if she would have disclosed it, I wouldn't have bought it. Well, I ended up reporting her to ebay after she left a very insulting feedback and sent me more insults, they removed her feedback and I can ignore the messages she is still sending (at one point she is going to get tired if she gets no response), I am returning but she refuses to issue a return label, so I guess I wait it out and then let ebay decide.
2 items weren't even shipped, seller doesn't respond (I get it things can happen but usually 2 weeks is quite long), 2 items arrived and are perfectly fine, one pair of trainers was sold as "lightly used" but has a massive rip in the upper and one item is totally fake, down to the point of even being totally different to the one that was pictured on eBay. They weren't even top end brands where you're naturally a bit more careful, more just usually good quality, higher end stuff but really nothing outrageous.
I thought they tightened their ship a bit? Upon browsing I also noticed a bunch of items where they blatantly stated that those are "very good fakes" hence the high price, reported them - nothing.
eBay also seems to have moved their support center to a place where they barely speak English, somebody read through the messages she sent me and claimed "it is an aggressive tone" when I said she is really harrassing me - I pointed out that it's less the tone and more the insults and profanities I have a problem with (they were quite strong).
