Now allowing large businesses to masquerade as 'private sellers'
eBay used to offer quite a fair and balanced trading site for both buyers and sellers. Unfortunately this is no longer the case for business sellers!
In response to an earlier review about them protecting businesses - they don't! They protect 'private' sellers who are actually trading but not declaring this. Those sellers get to sell what they like because they don't offer buyer protection and are bypassing UK distance selling laws.
If you want full protection, buy from someone registered as a business seller. We legally have to offer returns on everything, pay higher fees and have no protection from ebay at all any more!! The handful of dishonest buyers are abusing the system and are putting small companies out of business. I hope they'll be happy with they're left with just the huge corporations who will then charge whatever they like!
