There was a case where a woman ordered an ebay wedding dress that was advertised as a custom - made dress to fit her exact measurements. But when it came, it was at least two sizes too small. She contacted the seller, but the seller was unresponsive. She then had to go through a long and difficult process with ebay to try to get her money back while also looking for a new dress at short notice. It was a very distressing experience for her.
I know a story where a bride ordered a lace - detailed wedding dress from ebay. The lace was supposed to be a high - quality, intricate design. However, when the dress arrived, the lace was cheap - looking and full of holes. The seller didn't want to take it back or offer a refund. So the bride was stuck with a dress she couldn't wear and had lost a lot of money on it. She had to quickly find another dress which was a huge stress during her wedding preparations.
One horror story could be getting a wedding dress that looks nothing like the picture. The color might be completely off, like expecting a pure white dress but getting a yellowish - tinted one. And the size could be all wrong too, even if you provided accurate measurements.
Well, I know of a situation where a buyer on Ebay used Paypal to pay for an electronics item. The item worked fine initially, but after a few days, it developed a minor glitch. The buyer then demanded a full refund through Paypal. Paypal refunded the buyer without really looking into the situation deeply. The seller was out of pocket for the cost of the item and shipping.
Well, I heard of a situation where a bride's wedding dress caught fire during the photo shoot because it was too close to a candle. Thankfully, she was not seriously hurt but the dress was ruined. Also, there was a case where the wedding dress store went out of business right before the bride could pick up her dress, and she had already paid in full.
One horror story is when the bride - to - be found a perfect dress in a store. But when it arrived for the final fitting, it was the wrong color. The store tried to blame it on the lighting in the showroom, but it was clearly a different shade than what she ordered.
Since I don't know the particular 'the wedding dress horror story', I'll make up one. There was a beautiful but old - fashioned wedding dress in a small town's antique store. A young bride - to - be fell in love with it and bought it. But when she got home, she noticed that the dress seemed to have a life of its own. At night, it would move around her bedroom as if someone invisible was wearing it. When she put it on for her final fitting, she saw a face in the mirror that wasn't her own, and she realized the dress was haunted by the spirit of a jilted bride from long ago.
I've heard of a horror story on ebay where a buyer's account was hacked. The hacker made several purchases using the buyer's payment information. Ebay took some time to detect the unusual activity and in the meantime, the buyer had to deal with the banks to stop payments and clear their name. It was a nightmare of paperwork and communication with multiple parties.
Sure. One Ebay horror story could be about receiving a completely different item from what was described. For example, a customer ordered a brand new smartphone but received a broken and very old model instead. The seller then refused to take it back or give a refund.
Well, a seller was selling electronics. They sold a brand - new laptop. The buyer received it and then claimed that there were scratches on it. The seller was sure that the laptop was in perfect condition when shipped. The buyer sent back a different laptop that was clearly used and damaged. But ebay sided with the buyer as the seller couldn't prove that it wasn't the same laptop they had sent. The seller had to take back the damaged laptop and refund the buyer, resulting in a loss of money and a damaged reputation.
Well, I once bought a camera on Ebay. When it arrived, it was clearly defective. I started the return process. The seller kept delaying, asking for more photos and details over and over. It took weeks just to get the return approved. And then, when they finally got the item back, they claimed I had damaged it more and tried to charge me extra. It was a nightmare dealing with that whole situation.
One horror story is when a seller shipped a very fragile and expensive item. They packaged it carefully but the shipping company mishandled it. The item arrived broken, and the buyer demanded a full refund. The seller tried to claim insurance from the shipping company but faced a lot of bureaucracy and ended up losing money on the deal.
