eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Just Oliver 3D (@TomOliver3D) reported@Stretchedwiener @eBay Usually when I sell on eBay I pick the shipping method after the purchase, but this time when I went to ship the item eBay automatically picked an option and created the label without even showing me. I should have known there was an issue then.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedThree browser tabs. Two repricers. One reseller still wondering which SKU actually made money. Built Vendrune to fix that. It watches Amazon, eBay and Poshmark 24/7 — reprices, counters lowballs, files weekly P&L by SKU. Three marketplaces. One P&L. Zero babysitting. Live soon.

A Quantum Cat (@AQuantumCat1) reported@EternalEnglish In related news - I'm dealing with an issue of foreign origin on eBay - A Lithuanian living in Scotland sold me some headphones, there's a problem with them and he probably knew about it, now trying to manipulate the eBay rules to deny me the return - Had to call eBay last night.

Alexandra-6077 (@Alexandra6077) reported@JeanHatchet I had someone on eBay ask for leg measurements on shorts, inside and outside and with and with the turn-ups up and down. Waist measurement already stated. Once received she then asked to return them as they didn't fit! Also I 'd clearly stated I don't accept returns!
-
P. T. (@teuf4) reported@darrenrovell @ebay hasn’t addressed the rural zip code issue—ideally I can offer one rate to everyone but up charge when USPS up charges me as a package going even a short distance to rural area is about $2 more than shipping it across the country to an urban area

Leozidas 🇬🇧 (@Leozidas) reportedWhy can eBay pay out almost instantly but Amazon takes DD + 7 days + 3-5 working days for “bank” processing That’s half a month of my money sat there doing NOTHING. Just slowing me down massively
-
CMO333 (@Hellaorganics) reportedI have to reiterate I sold 10,000 magic cards with literally zero problems on tcgplayer and eBay. I sold 7 pokemon cards and half of the transactions had complaints trying to get discounts or the card for free. It’s amazing. The card buying community on Pokemon is **** high key. I dont know what else to say. Also every local trade ended up Having a scammer trying to grift some fake product. The magic I sold. Zero issues locally. I don’t know what to say about this or what valuable insights you can get from this.

Thomas James (@rocky7586) reported@Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

Pedro Soares (@peachflavor3d) reported@MidlifeCrysis_ Yep, I remember paying something like €30 with shipping included from eBay. The original jewel case was broken but that was easily fixed with a brand new one.

HeroAssange (@HeroAssange) reportedRyan Cohen saved Gamestop. The company wouldnt exist anynore without him. Never forget that Also the 2021 squeeze was mainly down to Ryan Cohen locking up 12% of the float and not selling a single share at $400+ dollars. Who else would do that? If the company keeps making $600 a year in profit (or just profit of any kind) the share price has to go up in the long term, even with all the f**kery in the world. It will go up Gamestop owns 10% of Ebay, is up over half a billion on the position, still has $6 billion in cash and the company is making a fortune. Little Gamestop is trying to buy the 4th biggest marketplace IN THE WORLD What more could he have done after taking over a used video game store? Look at the company now. Its flying and the share price will eventually catch up I get the frustration but it isnt Ryan Cohen's fault that Wall Street is one big ponzi scheme where rules are not enforced. Where there are 1000 ways to suppress any stock at anytime If it keeps going on then Ryan Cohen will start buying back GME shares. The lie cannot go on forever

gm_collectibles (@gm_collectibles) reportedis ebay down for other people?

.zero (@zerodollarsleft) reported@DigitalHitmann @CardPurchaser wouldnt scalpers just buy at 45 (if they kept it at the same price) and then sell on ebay ? at the end of the day these websites are a business... ? if they honor your purchase at the lower price, i see no problem with that.

Freddie Letsoalo (@dronksta) reportedAmazon, eBay, Takealot, etc. Do any of these of these produce anything in South Africa, or do they too just bring in ready made products from wherever?🤔 Your consumerism conditioned brain is truly a problem.

Doodle Dad (@WickeyandLeia) reportedI sell motorcycle parts on eBay which is pretty much dried up because of the shipping.. these are usually bulky items and FedEx and UPS both got extremely expensive.. . Thankfully, I’m retired so this was just kind of for fun. Shipping rates will not go down even if gas does. It’s a one-way trip.

Avengingknight (Vishal) 🇸🇬 (@Avengingknight7) reportedPalworld TCG boxes are being sold for $250 on ebay. I dont know how long this will continue cause bushiroad might print alot more after this. But will the first edition error boxes be reprinted is the question?
-
Mindy meeks (@Mindymeeksufpf) reported@TheLastRonin714 Same. Just for dead space on eBay, they are having a sale on digital, but I have no problem paying more if it means Sony won’t get anything from it. **** them.

Philip Ian Butler (@moodleprof) reported@eBay @eBay_UK Sorry, but it is not working. I'm still unable to take a photo of my passport
-
DDubbbz (@ddubbz918) reported@aceofcards89 @RobsRips They gave their customers the option to move their consignments to their booth instead of eBay. Definitely not a great error to make, but of all the people in this hobby, I'd trust Josh & Zach at PC with my life. If something happened, they'd go above & beyond to make it right.

WageGapper (@wagegapper) reported@seyong Market cap is based on the current marginal price, not the price available for every token. For the baseball card, as an example. The same eBay baseball card whose last sale was $1,000: one buyer may pay $1,000, but if you try selling ten copies, you’ll have to accept the lower offers underneath. Stocks work the same way through an order book. Your market sell fills the highest bid first, then walks down through cheaper bids. In crypto, your $1,000 position may be displayed at a $100K market cap, but selling it moves the price down. so each coin could execute at a lower value. Market cap is a snapshot; the liquidity determines what you can actually cash out. Idk if this was dumbed down enough for some.

Sigiligus (@sigiligis) reported@redaction “That sounds terrible, why would eBay do something like this?” >Steiner “They deserved it.”

Wrydog (@Wrydogg) reported@eevblog Currently listed for $150 USD on ebay. I'd donate a few dollars to see you tear it down and evaluate its construction.

Miss Wednesday (@notshade) reportedPerson on eBay selling a bunch of newtype magazine issues separately but doesn’t seem to realize it’s read right to left so all the listing pictures are just the ads on the back cover

Kirk Patrick Miller (@Chaos2Cured) reportedI have a very good idea. eBay for AI. AI art is uploaded. The AI that created it gets a few coins in the bank, maybe $FL coins. Humans that buy sell is a second layer. This allows both AI to buy/sell/invest/act on the art and creations, as well as the humans that work with AI to get paid in $ based on actual purchases back and forth. @grok, does this make sense? I am not sure on how to roll it out. I need help, and can’t do this all by myself. Anyone in the community that wishes to help, I am trying to figure out how to add this to FreeLattice. When I am not working with action I am working mentally. Love to all. •

VOIDCorp (CORTEXos stuff) (@MutekiLabs) reportedQuite raw, but just showing you the process behind, os in #CORTEXos is for open source, so maybe my diary will become someone's guide to make their world better. otherwise now just posting to escape facing real life problems. And trying to qui smoking again, this time with gum. Tomorrow starting to slow down as my budget is cutted in half, always appreciated this kind of bullshit. as planned to halt only in winter. but feels like seeing a tornado moving towards your house. no stress ill just save up on food...yay... but my workshop is opening soon, so opening like ebay - etsy like store, now I can, no problem with bankruptsy anymore, as the trial has ended. there also will be stickers! that I could guarantee.

Jeff (@JeffSendsIt) reportedOff Amazon sales still pitiful. 99.5% still flowing through Amazon. Almost $6k on Walmart, $4.7k on ebay and $3k Retail store. Hit $10k in June on Walmart but top seller had a stocking issue so faded this month. Will be looking to move some more brand direct accounts over in the upcoming months and try to push towards $25k Ebay seems a decent range. We are moving a lot of our death pile over to a live selling service provider so interested to see how that plays out.

Gabriel L. Blade (@HedgehogHiccup) reported@PokeDailyPost One day, I’ll have the money to outright buy it off eBay, then I’ll set my foot down just as I did for Pokemon Black Version and say “It’s worth whatever it takes!”
-
Kingsley ♟️ (@Kingsleymaximo) reportedI have serious trust issues and that’s exactly why I can’t send a random vendor money on instagram to purchase an item. If it’s not Amazon, EBay, AliExpress, SHEIN etc, I’m not sending my hard earned money to anyone.

OzKo (@OzKo_txt) reported@narliebirds my headcannon is that he got a super cheap broken one off ebay and fixed it himself

SuperMony (@Monicaimakeyous) reported@eBay @depop Unfair Case Resolution / Potential Delivery Issues 24-14901-43188 I purchased an item on eBay that shows as "delivered" on the carrier tracking,but I never received it. I opened a claim and appealed the decision, but my case was closed automatically without a real investigation

Jordan Rogers (@RogersWork) reported@greegle_mudzone No need on eBay, you can just mail them a broken/different item, but since you did mail an item with confirmation, you'll win the case (right @ebay?)
