madmanmega: Always stick to debit cards. With debit cards you can ask your bank to initiate a charge back and even thought it might take some time, like 3 months. You will get your money back. Bought a DSLR camera on amazon for some 2k plus dollars and the seller shipped empty water bottles. We filed to amazon and they said since we shipped our item to a freight forwarder (MyUs) there was nothing they could do since that was against their TOS. We went to zenith bank, collected charge back form filled it and forgot about it and some 3 months letter received alert for full refund.

yemight2776: Hi,
Please i need your help from some of you that have experience with shipping agents. i know some of them but looking in terms of their charges and reliability, am little confused.
Some the one that i know are Myus.com, Myamericanshipper.com, Shoptomydoor.com, Shippyme.com etc but the problem is that, i would have love to be using Myus.com but their charges are too much for me and Shippyme.com look more cheaper in terms of their charges but with what people have been saying about them, am very confused to use them.
Please i really want you to help me with any shipping agent that you have deal with that a cheaper with their charges and reliable or if you have anything information on those above, please help me with it. Thanks

chidekings: op ur not alone.just like u i opened a new ebay account,purchased two items and lastly i purchased a phone of 238 dollars,within the next day i recieved three emails from ebay,one is that my account has been suspended indefintly and two that the order has been cancelled.
Note:the seller has already shipped the goods.next two days the seller sent me a mail,that my order has been shipped via sweden mail and gave me a tracking no,i tracked the item but is showing not found and my problem is that i dont know if the item is really shipped and my account is still suspended.

Dandy1:

Okay,so I decided to "buy it now" 1a.m last night. After pressing the confirm payment button, I got 'your account has been limited' info in my PayPal.
Stating I have to help confirm my identity. Below were the requirements to confirm. In which I've done all,but 2 are still pending.

yemight2776: Hi,
Please i heard something about Ebay but am little confuse and i said i should bring it down to you guru. Is it true that i can pay with paypal which have different address with my ebay address. i.e i used my personal home address to open paypal but used the agent address for ebay address. please will i be able to pay with my Nigeria paypal like that. Thanks

shrekandfiona:
when registering for both paypal and ebay, use your Nigeria address as your billing address and it should be the same your bank has on record.

Thereafter, if you have a USA address you want your goods to be shipped to, go to your eBay account and edit your primary address to the USA address. Only edit on ebay.

you will discover paypal will also have the USA address as your confirmed shipping address.

I don't know how they confirm the address but that is what shows on my paypal and ebay account . My US address shows there as confirmed address.

Note I only effected the change on ebay not paypal but it shows on both account.

Thanks bro...........it will really help. but i should just change the primary address on Ebay, what of the first address? i think i should leave that and just edit the primary address on Ebay only.
hope this helps.

ezeuba: My brother's ebay account was suspended sometime in July this year. Today, a colleague of mine called me to tell me the same story; that his account has been suspended. Now, I am 120% certain these two people did not engage in any kind of fraudulent activity to warrant suspensions, but while asking my colleague what he bought recently he told me he bought some watches. The exact same thing my brother bought last before his account was suspended. What I think is happening here is a case of unjust profiling. They assume if a Nigerian starts making steady purchases of things like watches, jewellery and handy stuff like that maybe he/she stole the card and wants to purchase small volume items for resale. That is my thinking, because the only correlation between these two account suspensions is that they bought watches; I don't know if it was from the same seller, but that is by the way. I mostly buy phones and tablets and other tech devices and accessories. I use the same internet connection as my brother at home and the same connection with my colleague at work, so how come my account is still intact?

Dandy1: So I actually shopped on eBay. My first two transactions went fine,until my third on Monday 22sept. The seller actually said on his listing he would be shipping to my destination through USPS. After paying him,he told me USPS said they couldn't ship to my destination for whatever reasons. I told him I've had them ship to my destination two weeks before then. So on Wed. 24Sept. We both agreed to cancel the deal. Almost immediately after that,my eBay account got suspended UNLIMITEDLY. I was shocked by the word unlimited . I called eBay,they told me that's the final decision,that the ban can never be lifted.Now my money(app. 620 dollars) is stuck.
However,on mailing PayPal,they sent me the sellers number and e-mail to tell him to issue refund from his PayPal account. The seller promised to do that soon enough. I'm yet to get a feedback from him. This is my own story. Does anyone here have any idea how I could still appeal to get my eBay account back?

justi4jesu:

You chatted with the seller outside ebay may be the reason. Never do that.

Dandy1: I just got an alert just a while ago. My money has finally been refunded. like the OP's case, Access bank decided to cut their pound of flesh. They deducted (stole) five thousand naira from my money. I wonder what that is for. I will be at the bank tomorrow to know. Anyways, I'm happy to have the money back. I'd be trying out my luck with Amazon. I'm done with eBay.

euwajeh:
shippyme is not as bad as people paint them . i have been using them for the past one year without know issue

legalwealth:


Great analysis in there as I didn't even look at that and moreover,are you one of the ADMIN at shippyme.

shrekandfiona:

I honestly don't know why ebay does that but I can't blame them though. It happened to me once and I was so sad cos I just paid for a laptop then and within 5 mins, my account was suspended.

I called ebay immediately was really shouting on the phone with their customer care who then transferredmy call to their accounts department. They asked me if I wanted to appeal for them to lift the suspension. I told them I wasn't appealing but demanded to know why my account was suspended.

They couldn't even come up with any reason, they just said it was a routine they use in curbing fraud from some countries. Can you be at that

while on phone they immediately lifted the suspension and since then, it's been smooth sail. Even if I buy 10 laptops, it sails okay.

I believe it's the Naija factor that makes them do that. No offence

7070:
Its simple,you want to buy stuff of any on-line shop abroad..can make payments for you from here in Europe and send directly to naija..seems you guys need help.
plus you can pay the naira equivalent into my naira account
Stop Dulling
