Depends on the region and specifics of the sale, also the "better" scammers have found ways to even get around returns (the buyer is left without a product or the money, and the scammer has both)

I sell probably one thing a year and between the ever increasing fees, and the fees of a separate bank account if i want to keep thinks insualted, the fact that it doesn't let me use real prices for shipping but only their suggested ones (believe me i tried), i just don't want to bother. I'll run over the damn thing if i can't give it away. Or use other platforms, facebook marketplace has been much more effective.
It's no wonder all (most) individuals selling used stuff have disappeared, in ebay europe at least, there are a tiny fraction of what used to be before ebay changed the payment scheme.

There are a number of companies offering free no-fee bank accounts, for me I use prepaid mastercard "account", I'm sure Italy has similar services.

But I agree, if its some household goods or a few sales a year, its not worth it.

Are direct credit card payments through eBay not available on eBay UK? For me on checkout eBay offer the choice of paying directly through eBay with CC, or via PayPal. The former has not involved PayPal for the past couple of years.

What's the big deal of linking your bank account? The only thing they can do with it is a SEPA direct debit, which you can dispute with your bank within 8 weeks. It's even easier than disputing a credit card charge. And as already mentioned, there's a number of fintechs (e.g. N26, Revolut, OpenBank) offering free bank accounts if you do want to keep things separate.

How such a seller can have negative feedbacks *REMOVED* if he/she sells junk?


--- End quote ---

I had two independent bad experiences on ebay lately, buying two small parts from HongKong.
Both parts were not what I had ordered and the sellers were not willing to discuss it.

I told them, that I will leave negative feedback if they would not be willing to work with me.
One seller replied: "I don't care, I will just delete the negative feedback"
Well, I gave both sellers negative feedback with a good explanation of why.
And in both accounts the negative feedback showed up right away.

Well, the next day, both of my negative feedbacks were gone.
WTF  :-//

How can they do this?

I am missing the old eBay !

Don't threaten the sellers with negative feedback, just open a claim for "item not as described" and in most cases ebay will refund you with minimal hassle.

You might be right, that my mentioning of negative feedback caused this removal of the negative feedback.
However, normally in the past it said something like: "This comment was removed by ebay"
In theses two cases, my negative comment just vanished.
