eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ellevish ellectric lady⚡️ (@ellevish) reported

    I went down the rabbit hole of refurbished vacuum shopping on eBay (my dad’s idea) and let me tell you, there is a reason Amazon is kicking eBay’s *** despite sometimes having cheaper items

  • thisbryanguy001 Bryan Rivera (@thisbryanguy001) reported

    @3STRIPEZZZ @stockx These past few months, I've been dealing with a bunch of issues specifically with eBay's authentication service. Some people think I'm just grasping at straws and looking for the most minor things to complain about.

  • preterniadotcom Preternia (@preterniadotcom) reported

    @DanSPrestonEsq Obviously the past year and a half has been a bit rough for that process. I've done some eBay for some of my stuff that kinda ballooned in price, but I find it less effective and slow moving. I miss just having a bin full of $5-$10 figures that people can dig through.

  • BrosephPumphrey Joseph Pumphrey (@BrosephPumphrey) reported

    I just watched an eBay bidding war count down and thought why am I so entertained by this. The drama in the final 5 seconds requires an action movie soundtrack.

  • Megan_Burns97 Megan Burns (@Megan_Burns97) reported

    @AZPaulC @ivyice21 @WDWNT Yeah I don’t have much of a problem with people who do park pickups and buy like three of something. A shirt. A cookie jar. Pins. My issue is purely with the ebay resellers buying the massive bags full of each piece of merchandise and who post photos still in their cars.

  • Canadian_Power All canadian (@Canadian_Power) reported

    @globalnews Then Amazon and Ebay sales start to skyrocket more while local owner brick and mortar stores shut down and the buildings are repurposed as "affordable housing".

  • ShagSportsCards **** Sports Cards (@ShagSportsCards) reported

    @T__Russ If only there were a fix ebay could make……like not counting sales in searches unless it is paid…….(its just a bunch of people trying to pump up the value of their own card)

  • keep_an_i_out Saif (@keep_an_i_out) reported

    @AskeBay How to DM? That’s what I’m trying to figure out. The seller just replied and said they did refund the full price, however, the funny thing is I paid 11 and change and was refunded around 6 minus shipping. Their error, my loss? Enough energy spent on this. By By Ebay

  • M_Metzner M (@M_Metzner) reported

    @Kirioth I had similar issues - particularly due to an old neck problem - then I bought a cheap wrist rest for doing nail manicures from eBay. It really helped my neck and back by giving me an elevated position to rest my forearms/ wrist

  • Solistair_ Nicole 🦄 Soli (@Solistair_) reported

    I’ve read five books in a week. I -might- just have a problem… Jokes aside - I’ve spent pretty much every free hour after work (and through my lunch breaks) getting back into reading! Getting a Kindle off eBay was the best decision ever. 🥰

  • ValiantMike2 🆅🅰🅻🅸🅰🅽🆃 (@ValiantMike2) reported

    @5PYGL4SS @spooksoldier I don't think that's an issue, eBay have already advised him I don't ship to Finland but look if he comes through with the money I will send it!!

  • syd3825 S.y.d. (@syd3825) reported

    @atwoheadedcat @eBay I still have the record & can get it you no problem! Contact me via messages. We can talk that way. I don't want to put more of my info all over the web!

  • llamasandstocks Llamasandstocks (@llamasandstocks) reported

    @PJ_Matlock Sometimes its better to accept the mistake and move on instead of doubling down..why are u bullish on $wish? I would not want to invest in a company competing against amazon..what differentiates wish from ebay etsy or amazon? Their financials are also not great.

  • Bluelov38260443 Blue love (@Bluelov38260443) reported

    @UnpopularMurph @kirkdesoto @_BasedKing_ Am I in serious trouble because I threw my old iPhone headphones out? I probably can get a pair on eBay still if so.

  • ZeeCatbo catbo (@ZeeCatbo) reported

    @stillgray @General_Wilhelm how ****** down bad do you have to be to kill someone over $100 shoes you can more than likely find the same pair at a better price on ebay

  • JoDetavernier Jo Detavernier, SCMP, APR (@JoDetavernier) reported

    @eBay Can somebody from the support team help me out with an issue.

  • anuprawka Anup Rawka (@anuprawka) reported

    @AskeBay Thanks Darren, I contacted ebay billing support and they made few tweaks into my account and I have to wait for 48 hours to see if it solves the issue.

  • KateFantom James, Kate and Florence (@KateFantom) reported from Hinckley, England

    @RalphHosier I use FB market place. Much better, more local and seems to have much fewer EBay related issues.

  • DonMcintyre70 ⚒️Don McIntyre ⚒️🤘🏻 🥇🍷🍕 (@DonMcintyre70) reported

    @ChrisH30HzLow @donna_occhineri @Bangorjohn No problem. Its a pic I've pinched from the net of a product actually available on eBay.

  • Logo_UKno Logo (@Logo_UKno) reported

    @Gah_Dayum Let me know if u wanna sell your broken ones. I see people buy old air pods for extra parts pretty often on ebay. For like $50 or so.

  • ConceptOfNoki Noki🌟🌟🌟 (@ConceptOfNoki) reported

    Oh god, Puyo eBay listings is not a rabbit hole I can afford to go down right now.

  • ms_sole_amazin ᴹˢ_ˢᵒˡᵉ_ᴬᵐᵃᶻⁱⁿ (@ms_sole_amazin) reported

    @DreadsAndBooze This when hunting shoes down was fun man....I was all over ebay trying to find these things in my size

  • lkki nate (@lkki) reported

    @beansvip used to be able to find em on ebay but they cracked ******** down so now you gotta look thru telegram or janky discords

  • CornerKri CEO of Disaster Clowns (DC) (@CornerKri) reported

    @Ry_Hunter Nope. I was thinking about just selling like a bulk comic grab bag or something on ebay with a lot of issues. I dont need to make money off of it I just need the space. 😭

  • pcguy8088 Greg (@pcguy8088) reported

    @AskeBay Search for eBay "Standard International Shipping" on Google all you get is countless posts from your eBay Community wondering what the service is. eBay has a comm issue w buyers due to using a catchall for shipping & not using the same name in listings as on the eBay website!

  • TheComedianJB The Comedian (@TheComedianJB) reported

    Amazon and eBay were founded in 1994 and 1995. $WISH was founded in 2010. Tomorrow is a new day. If you’re long, average down and keep moving on. If not, cut your losses and get out. Either way you can’t change what happened.

  • LilMoCards LilMoCards (@LilMoCards) reported

    @hvrry_ @CardPurchaser Yes, I have a friend who ran into the same problem. Shipping got delayed and buyer left a negative feedback before item shipped. He reimbursed his money and then the buyer said he apologized for the feedback because he got the item. eBay hasn’t fixed it and it’s been months! Sad

  • Glendening Dr. Obtuse (@Glendening) reported

    Been helping this kid on Discord. He saved up to buy a copy of Earthbound ($400) and was having lots of weird issues. Turns out it is a fake. He didn't think to ask someone about it and now it is both too late to return and the ebay store he got it from is gone. So mad rn.

  • thisbryanguy001 Bryan Rivera (@thisbryanguy001) reported

    @3STRIPEZZZ Nah. These past few months, I've been dealing with a bunch of issues specifically with eBay's authentication service. Some people think I'm just grasping at straws and looking for the most minor things to complain about.

  • DanielBurress2 Daniel Burress (@DanielBurress2) reported

    @eBay @LUXURYLAW Total price of $hit eBay helps people steal from customers I got to pay 16.50 for shipping on a broken rice cooker that the seller knew didn’t work eBay dropped the ball had to contact PayPal as eBay just says shut up and wait when you file a claim so not use eBay
