  • DaveEMorton David E Morton (@DaveEMorton) reported

    @melraunch1 eBay have stopped using PayPal well they have for my account eBay process it all themselves not had any problems so far as an eBay seller

  • VividChim Kane Hocking (@VividChim) reported

    Today's transaction reminds me why I stopped using @eBay. Gonna have to wait ages for this issue to get resolved probably...this is why I stick to Amazon for everything 😩

  • BoxerJedi Jedi Boxer (@BoxerJedi) reported

    @PS5StockAlerts The only people able to actually buy one are the same people who already have 10 of them to resell on eBay for $900. Our system is broken, but nobody cares to fix it.

  • foreverzero_ Christian Kirk (@foreverzero_) reported

    Is it weird that I use broken english on ebay in an effort not to be haggled?

  • peter_lord Ⓟⓔⓣⓔⓡ Ⓛⓞⓡⓓ 😎🇬🇧👍🇺🇸🇪🇺 (@peter_lord) reported

    @melraunch1 As others have said, check the seller's feedback, don't allow them to take the payment off-eBay (unless he pays cash when he collects the item in-person). Any legit seller won't have a problem with this.

  • MoBayBum Jimmy Kowitt 🌴🍹🌞 (@MoBayBum) reported

    @bigredblev @Dave_Cards @WatchTheBreaks Just sold my purple pulsar on ebay, they seem to be tough to track down

  • traceyjoy65 tracey burton 🌻 (@traceyjoy65) reported

    @Lesley49623512 Me too.. I'm terrible with Ebay at the moment xx

  • goodecracker tamisha iman is our saviour ☁️ #BUSTEDSEASON3 (@goodecracker) reported

    @thequeenpri @eBay jeff bazos fix this please

  • KeyWestAuthor Michael Ritchie (@KeyWestAuthor) reported

    @eBay has become too soft on sellers. Time was they were expected to deliver next day. Now they just issue "shipped" email when all they did was acquire a shipping number. Three or four days later they ship. I'm now seeing deliveries stretching to 10 days.

  • jeremybc36 Jeremy (@jeremybc36) reported

    there are so many great cards on #ebay but the sellers have not got the memo, and i still refuse to pay $4 or less for a card and pay >$3.89 in shipping. come on sellers! Fix your shipping!!! I even message asking to sell the 4 buck card for 2 so i don't mind paying shiping

  • P0w3rTurt13 Turt13P0w3r (@P0w3rTurt13) reported

    @tentaclause I don’t want to complicate things in the future for the eBay seller. If I can’t do it on the up and up I’ll probably just resort to buying another one and keeping this one for spare parts. If it’s their policy not to issue a refund because of the manner I bought it I am sol.

  • Voyeurs23 Voyeurs2 (@Voyeurs23) reported

    Anyone know a good place to sell unused kink items? (we already have eBay and shpock accounts and don't want the trouble of setting up another!)

  • ronrule Ron Rule 💡 (@ronrule) reported

    @JamesSo10545286 Chassis is a classic VW beetle. Plenty of them out there, and a couple of companies make a "new" spec VW beetle chassis so you shouldn't have a problem finding that. Usually the ones that pop up on ebay are rollers.

  • P0w3rTurt13 Turt13P0w3r (@P0w3rTurt13) reported

    @tentaclause I get that sentiment however lootcrate would then ship the replacement to the person I bought it from on eBay and not me. I have been dm’d by other people having the same issue as me with their rocksteady. Thankfully they bought straight from lootcrate and not eBay.

  • UJBalanzategui Ulysses Balanzategui (@UJBalanzategui) reported

    How's everyone feeling about ebay managed payment? I'm not loving how slow it is to get money to my account.

  • LazyUX Justin (@LazyUX) reported

    Lockdown woes. Tracking down a copy of the @mala_dmz @DJmag this month was hard. No supermarkets stock it, it turns out. Shipping from their store is so high it was easier to pay eBay prices. Been so long since I bought a real magazine, I'd forgotten the smell of paper.

  • galleryantiques Gallery Antiques, Vintage and Collectables (@galleryantiques) reported

    @SeaGypsy15 Etsy is a law unto itself. I remember ebay tried to do this, and sellers weren't having it, they backed down and scrapped the idea.

  • giraffe_dapper ADapperGiraffe (@giraffe_dapper) reported

    PISSED at all these auto bots buying up the new @Xbox the second a business website updates their site to say they have one. @Xbox y'all need to shut down these people who are reselling brand new, unopened systems on ebay and other sites for profit.

  • alx_nearphuture ALX 👽 (@alx_nearphuture) reported

    @sogonsec @ZephrFish Topre keycaps are harder to find, theses are ‘Domikey HHKB Keycaps’ (but they make also other set for standard Cherry switch). I found the orange set on eBay, and the green ones on @KP_Republic (but they are really really slow for shipment ).

  • bodhititus2019 Chris 53 💙 feed the kids (@bodhititus2019) reported

    @Mistywoman1 @melraunch1 yea me and my bro got 2 refurbished computers before xmas and never checked feed back , we ended up with 2 broken computers the guy taped the hardrives into place instead of fixing them in both broke free and smashed the mother board ,ebay eventually issued a refund

  • chorley_dave David Taylor (@chorley_dave) reported

    No eBay! I've already given positive bastard feedback. I'm not going to the trouble of registering on Feefo to leave a review.

  • Shankweather Stephen Benzel (@Shankweather) reported

    @RealLaughingLab @WatchTheBreaks Normal communication breaks down on eBay messages worse than anywhere else. Nobody can be cool. Probably says something about card collectors.

  • sartemis Adrian S. (@sartemis) reported

    @ArgosHelpers @yuorangle It's an ebay order. I'm the seller. Something happened with the buyer ( un )collecting the order / ARGOS store. Did you read the thread Sheryl? Did you understand it? Your advise is not working with your one-way robot chat

  • Adrock318 Adrock (@Adrock318) reported

    @eBay I have had an issue since January and there is no way to contact customer support. There is no option to chat and the call back feature is disabled. When calling the "offices" I get a message saying they are closed and to call back during normal business hours.

  • Mathowitz Carl Horwitz (@Mathowitz) reported

    @mrnumerancer One of my friends has the popcorn method fairly dialed- I can get his advice if you'd like. A neighbor has the ebay/resale market figured out, he landed a broken Bullet R1 V2, which another neighbor fixed, now we have roasting parties every few weeks (I'm just the freeloader)

  • BInapples Bobinapples 💙 (@BInapples) reported

    @melraunch1 I use it, along with paypal. Got ripped off from a Christmas present, which didn’t arrive. Contacted eBay. Refund from PayPal 10 days later. Seller booted off EBay. Apart from buying an empty box, 15 years ago. That’s my only problem. 1/2

  • chimchimami1 chimchimami⁷ (@chimchimami1) reported

    Does anyone know why when I revise my listings on ebay they always disappear from my "items for sale"? They are missing for around 20 hours now and it is really annoying 😒 I have this problem for over a month! @AskeBay @eBay_UK

  • matthew_lucas Matthew Lucas (@matthew_lucas) reported

    @tuffcontender Man, I live on the other side of the country and until they shut down I still bought stuff from them every week on eBay.

  • joshIovebot nemo (@joshIovebot) reported

    @AskeBay i ordered something on ebay and it went in transit yesterday, but now its restarted and isn’t in transit anymore. it says “pre-shipment info sent usps awaits item” but when i go to the usps website its still in transit. is this just a glitch?

  • tape_xpress Tape Xpress (@tape_xpress) reported

    @shipstationhelp Hello, is there any issue with syncing with eBay? I am getting a recurrent error message with my 2 accounts.
