  • ShinyStaxx Alan_Who? (@ShinyStaxx) reported

    Boy you sure can't tell #silver is down two bucks by the auctions on @ebay. Spot plus $10+ anyone?

  • nelliemu nelliemu (@nelliemu) reported

    @nectar the nectar points are not showing on ebay. All it keeps saying is trouble shooting yet later this has gone in for two weeks

  • YepezTed ted yepez sr (@YepezTed) reported

    I wish some one tell Walmart Home Depot Lowe’s target eBay Amazon and others reminded them pretty pls I’m poor retired individual living on a fix in income I’m not a millionaire all day long I’m deleting úsales emails poof I’m tired all ready. What a waste of resources if you ask

  • Benny_Hsu Benny Hsu (@Benny_Hsu) reported

    @darrenrovell @eBay Much needed to stop buyer's remorse. No one can get their money back after they buy a stock if it's gone down a month later. The same should be cards.

  • mightwing rory ‼️ (@mightwing) reported

    @ThomasEsmore he's from a batman minifigure blind box by spin master! i actually bought this one off ebay because i was having terrible luck finding him in the blind boxes i bought lol

  • Stayhomedad10 Stay@homedad (@Stayhomedad10) reported

    @WizardOfFries @AskeBay If the money isn’t it your account YOUR account, YOU haven’t been paid. Set handling time to min 5 days, this covers for @eBay being inept and not working weekends financially. Put on listings handling time.

  • spideymemoir jackpot (@spideymemoir) reported

    @FabianNicieza @jpalmiotti And these speculative exchanges create a scarcity of new issues. A kid goes into a comic shop for a recent release, but they are all sold out. Two things - speculators horde them and sell them on eBay and/or shop dealers sell them at inflated prices (in-store and eBay).

  • skusniper Sku Sniper (@skusniper) reported

    If anyone needs some tips on using the eBay authentication program, let me know. Can show you how to properly photograph and describe any issues or defects so they pass authentication.

  • texasyaz12 Yasmine Soto (@texasyaz12) reported

    @MrKdub Yessss, I mean regardless of the number it sold for and it shows crossed out I’ll go down from that 5-10 bucks it’s still better than selling on eBay if I don’t have too lol

  • neilspellings Neil Spellings (@neilspellings) reported

    Out of the hundreds of websites I use, including many banking and financial ones, why is it that only @eBay have implemented integrated biometric login via Windows Hello APIs

  • nightmarebrains payton (@nightmarebrains) reported

    I have a problem where I get attached to certain pieces of clothing because of sensory issues and what not so I’ve basically been living off 2 pairs of sweats and I couldn’t find them anywhere anymore but I just found them on EBay!!!!!

  • janapochop Jana Pochop (@janapochop) reported from Austin, Texas

    I’ve ordered a few things on eBay lately for some projects and it’s an absolute chore to get stuff delivered on time. I’ve filed 2 lost mail claims lately, one the item just disappeared and one took a week to find. I used to sell on eBay and never had shipping issues like this.

  • izzie_kathryn Izzie 😷👌💙NHS 🇮🇱 (@izzie_kathryn) reported

    @cnbcwatcher90 @itvnews The laptops were broken, they will have been bulk purchased by an electrical recycling centre. Stock that still has value is already resold by the pallet load which resellers buy and typically sort and junk some and sell some product through EBay.

  • neilpired Neil Pilkington (@neilpired) reported

    @AndyxRogersx @JustCinders you know what, if that was me, and we had split and my kids were Ireland and I had split for whatever reason, and i no job i’d be selling stuff on ebay, down the car boot sale whatever it takes, he’ll regret it btw

  • nvrqt nvrqt 🔔🌹 (@nvrqt) reported

    @svetlanadp ah, so i had some dejavu, as i think i may have asked this before. now looking at the links i think i see the problem, there is no way to just buy and download, these services listed seem to all require accounts, which i dont have or want 😔 (need checkout as guest like ebay jmo)

  • dadekian David Dadekian (@dadekian) reported

    @aliciakennedy That was a very wtf thing to read as well. I had a love/hate reaction to LP, which I bet a lot of people may reply. I sold my entire run collection on eBay a while back. Maybe didn’t get enough for it seeing what an issue goes for, but it’s better than taking up space in my life.

  • VonBloodShrimp Baron Von BloodShrimp (@VonBloodShrimp) reported

    @john76867892 @itvnews Gumtree then eBay for me, second hand first then new if I have too, most independents have closed down around me, but I do try to use independent online shops, lots of them use eBay as a digital shop front anyway.

  • WizardOfFries Walter Peck 👑 (@WizardOfFries) reported

    Just removed all my items from eBay. Contemplating just shutting down my account after 20 years of selling. **** their bullshit, it just ain't worth it anymore

  • spideymemoir jackpot (@spideymemoir) reported

    @FabianNicieza @jpalmiotti Won't argue that. I agree. What I meant is - there is strong commerce of speculative exchanges among superhero comics. Just look at the inflated prices on eBay of recently released issues. Individuals are paying inflated prices.

  • teacup_hare indii ㋐ FFXIV 5.55 (@teacup_hare) reported

    Grr, if you have a problem with an item on ebay, don't go straight to leaving negative feedback, contact the seller first! I have somebody claiming they didn't receive an item, but they decided to tell me via negative feedback instead of filing a claim...

  • BeatboxBreaker BeatBox Breaker (@BeatboxBreaker) reported

    @SatchelPrice That’s ebays problem. And the added benefit for having free shipping and free returns, is to recover losses. eBay backs sellers up to 50% in losses.

  • WatchTheBreaks The Breaks (@WatchTheBreaks) reported

    @Nmartin55 My only issue with this - subbing a card for grading and it coming back fake - how would ebay handle taht?

  • bigwerms Tim 🍆💦 AKA The Strongest Kyler Super Collector (@bigwerms) reported

    @DannyNRP I'll shoot lower sometimes, but ebay is usually priced higher with BIN, so I do not have an issue shooting.

  • _HayleyElise Hayley Elise 😈💀🖤 (@_HayleyElise) reported

    Trying to track down some of my missing games on ebay is pretty painful. Howcome all the ones i wanna play are ridiculously expensive 😭

  • forestfold just ross (@forestfold) reported

    @TheProxyGuy Also used ones on ebay look to sell for ~$10 if you want a parts keyboard, and you're trying to upcycle/reuse instead of replace. Might be able to find a broken one for cheaper.

  • LadyMacaronx LadyMacaron (@LadyMacaronx) reported

    @eBay Hey @eBay why can't I upload / attach photos in the message? It says "Server error, please remove and trya again". I've been trying the whole day. When can it be fixed I need to send someone photos ASAP

  • NoAirJustJordan Tariq St. Patrick (@NoAirJustJordan) reported

    EBay’s shipping after the authentication process is a let down every single time

  • zome0ne MNM (@zome0ne) reported

    i have ebay and shopee biz account. buat half way. buat crypto. skrg tengah dip. it just me. i'm the problem.

  • kinkbingo still exceptional sadist idk (@kinkbingo) reported

  • Rookie_Addict The Rookie Addict (@Rookie_Addict) reported
