I haven't used eBay to buy or sell anything or PayPal to send or receive payments since 2017 after what eBay and a Buyer pulled on me. I sold a Schmidt-Bender Target Scope in March of 2017 and once I had transferred the received payment to my' Bank Account, I went on vacation to visit Limitool (Brad) and his' wife Bonnie and to help Brad build Toy Boxes. I was not online for 4 or 5 days and when I went to purchase some parts to fix Brad's Honda four-wheeler, I found that I was locked out of both. The Buyer wanted to return the Scope for a full refund and apparently had Buyer's remorse as he lied and stated that the Scope had problems with the elevation adjustment when it did not. I did not know any of this until I logged onto eBay to buy the parts and read the emails from eBay, PayPal and the Buyer. To make a long story short, I sent the $750 plus shipping fees back to PayPal which went on hold until the Scope was returned to my' home. When my' daughter advised me the Scope had arrived okay at my' home, I refunded the Buyer his' money. After getting home about a week later, I checked out the Scope and found that there was nothing wrong with it and found that the Buyer had never even mounted it on a rifle, so there was no way he would know that it had a problem. I emailed eBay two or three times concerning this but never got a response from them. After eBay refunded the listing, shipping and other fees to my' eBay Account, I called them to have them refund the money to my' PayPal Account as I wanted to close my' eBay Account. However, the eBay Representative intentionally told me to close PayPal Account and that I would receive my refund in three weeks to 30 days. Well, it took 6 phone calls to eBay, 2 phone calls to PayPal, numerous threats of a law suit, the re-opening of my' PayPal Account and 8 months to get my' $73.50 back from them to close my' eBay Account. As far as I am concerned, hell will freeze over before I use eBay or PayPal ever again. I point blank told them that if they continue to treat their' Sellers the way they are/were currently treating them, then the only folks they will one day sell items for on their' venue in the future, is Walmart.
