eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
@Zia (@Zia_11_11) reportedI found the fix @ebay So long as you don’t include “Ryan” and/ or “Cohen” in any listing, you’re safe. $GME
-
Aaron Coates (@aaroncoates) reported@ValueAddedRS @ryancohen Don’t worry. If eBay doesn’t sell, Cohen will build the competitor that takes them down. He’s getting free exposure making his case for why eBay should fail. Users and staff are listening. The best ones will stay if eBay sells. They will leave for what Cohen builds if not. Last time he built an online platform, he needed human coders. And still beat Amazon. He’s already got the plan. But he’s honorable enough to give eBay a chance to save themselves and their shareholders.

hodling since 2021 (@Hodlingsince21) reportedTheory: $GME eBay merger weaponizes the CUSIP/ledger reset to crush naked shorts. - Transfer Agents only issue the legal float. Counterfeits can’t migrate to a new CUSIP w/out a locate. - FTD cycles die w/the old ledger. Brokers must buy-in on the open market to deliver shares
-
$2 Bill (@twodollabil) reported@R6RiderF WTF are you even talking about ? EBAY is down 10% on the week. I could even read the rest of the post on your erroneous initial comment.
-
Mollusk (@Escargot4U) reported@glacierptrading I highly doubt there will be dilution. You think the EBay CEO is going to step down for a half cash/share offer? It will have to be a 65B buyout at that level and Ryan has no recourse for another 5B in cash. People are forgetting nearly 4B of $GME cash is actually debt.
-
Docs Dugout (@DocsDugout) reported@ryancohen @WatchTheBreaks UPS lost six packages in a month. eBay agreed and removed the restrictions but still locked down my account.
-
Ermias Braki (@ermiasbraki) reportedWatching the $GME discourse unfold is something to behold... @ryancohen is right about ebay but it doesn't even matter. His army of fans have shown they will ride with what he says. Think that is worth noting aside from any governance issues w/ ebay.

rowen (@_necrowe) reported@NAAUGO 😭😭😭 so many cards bc every time I put something in my watchlist on eBay i get sent a discount and I hit purchase I have NO IMPULSE CONTROL. There’s a couple Blake and then some of the other players so i had to turn off eBay notifs because it’s adding up 😭 I have a problem
-
Tulio (@tulius) reported@unusual_whales Economic downturns are great for eBay, as people start selling their foreign-made crap. Big numbers ahead. The problem is the constant squeeze on merchants for every little drop of profit, like Etsy.
-
Bri (@lu94482) reported@nymfettes Is there a way we can get her user and maybe get ebay to take her account down by spam reporting ?
-
Jim McPherson (@JamesMcPherson) reported@rhensing It's actually 3 now that I think about it. One is 5 years old, the 2nd is a used one I bought for $350 on eBay that arrived broken with the same problem but the seller says it was fine (they lied), and the 3rd is our charger at work. The work one might have warranty still... I'll try it. This is clearly a defect, frustrating that there isn't a fix. I wish I had the time to dig in and diagnose.
-
Q (@stuckonstocks) reported@NariquoTrades The only way GME can move higher is if Cohen dumps his ebay shares and does a share buy back on GME otherwise its dead money until late 2027 -2028 and will be diluted 1.54billion more shares down to 12.00s
-
The Last Straight Superhero (@Rex_Aletheia) reported@ThePPseedsShow @ryancohen is not working alone. The announcement of the Boston arrests three days before the eBay deal speaks volumes. The alleged crime is insider trading on merger and acquisition deals.
-
SNAKES_315🐍 (@KozmaNicholas) reported@M_oass @InvestSpecial Which then gne gets the cash from that. Issues new shares after a share buyback initiating the squeeze. Ebay tanks cause now everyone sees management sucks. We buy next year plus another company
-
Sean Williams (@AMCScam) reported@1of197058 @BCG But nevertheless part of the story why eBay & its shareholders don't need GameStop. Who wants this culture & broken retail model?
-
ambient (@Umph42) reported@ryancohen eBay is a massive asset with a stagnant operator problem.
-
ballistikcoffeeboy (@ballistikcoffee) reported@show_glen I bought one on eBay at one point, it arrived broken so had to send it back, haven't seen one since lol
-
Heath Veuleman (@HeathVeuleman) reportedLook @ryancohen you should hire me to do healthcare for GME and eBay. I could use DPC, DSC, direct contracting - with physician-led enterprises - and Cost Plus Drugs (@mcuban) to drive your healthcare costs way down. Mercer (2025 National Survey): Average total cost of employer-sponsored health insurance = $17,496 per employee (~$1,458/month). Employers expect ~6.7% increase in 2026 → >$18,500/year. eBay has ~12,000 employees. GME has ~4,000 employees. We can turn your expense into an asset, spin this off into its own enterprise in 24-36 months, and make money by actually saving corporations money. Thank you for your attention to this matter! **(I’ll do it for half cash, half stock)**

Sir Nutz 🥜 (@NsuteraA1) reported@ryancohen When You aquire E-Bay You could start Ebay Auctions You should bring AMC into the fold the stock is oppressed however We shake the shorts, and dark pools by block chaining the securities into coins. AMC is worth a ton mostly owned by retail. That may be too much for You to take on. I truly hope we do more damage to hedge funds because they've been cheating us for five years in Barclay bank securities. All kinds of stuff went down.

Linda Williams (@LindaWiIiams) reportedRyan Cohen's mysterious bank letter backing GameStop's eBay bid reveals a big issue with deal
-
Shoestring Lab (@Shoestring_Lab) reportedEbay captcha so broken it refreshed for ten minutes then finally blocked my browser.
-
MIKΞ STAHL (@mikeastahl) reported@ryancohen Stopped selling with them years ago when people would buy and receive product, say it was broken and ebay/paypal would side with them when all they really wanted was to get an item for free or deep discount. 1985 wants the design back.

Dean Gillberry (@FartieFrenchie) reported@ryancohen @natsturner One of the big challenges on eBay right now is people will purchase a card, and immediately request to cancel it. This happens because the card will still show as “sold”, so it inflates the comp prices even if you refund the card. It also doesn’t show the actual sale price if you accept a lower offer. Sometimes there is a “system error,” and the seller fees aren’t automatically refunded, even when the buyer is the one that cancels. I’ve lost out on countless fees because it’s such a hassle to go through support. This only happens with sports cards for the most part. A credit card should be on file there should be auto pay to prevent this. The example below just happened today, and is the 3rd time this week a high value card has been cancelled. @eBay Are you going to step up to the plate and make improvements, or do I need to pull my listings and start selling my cards to eBay?
-
Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reported@SolveableSea @CardPurchaser Funny you should ask. It’s attached to my profile but all my eBay listings got stolen this weekend so I had to take most of them down. I’ll be putting more up this week.
-
Backend (@Backend_System) reportedFree tip for eBay sellers: Review ALL open orders before 9 AM every day. Check: → Unfulfilled orders from yesterday → Tracking not yet updated → Shipments past delivery date 10 minutes. Catches 80% of issues before customers notice. The other 20% needs a system
-
LazyLin (@sirlazycluck) reported@realboyfailure @Dexerto it has some cool features but the main problem was people buying more then 3 and resell them for double the price on ebay
-
Omega Investments (@omega_inv) reported@RedZoneRogue Tcgplayer sellers are uniquely terrible at shipping. For some reason I never have the same problem with eBay orders.
-
Grizzlybeargonewild (@Grizzlybearwild) reportedOver 100,000+ New ETB Pokemon TCG items and over 65,000 items from Pokemon Exclusive Target Sold on EBay this week…u are the problem if you buy from scalpers.
-
AMERICA 24 (@America24news_) reported@JasonBassler1 Shoot it down and sell the parts on ebay
-
Dew (@dewsenblurry) reported@ryancohen This and many other odd issues have risen since 2009. When eBay farmed out their tech support to third party, now out of business 2010 (CSC), the whole process went down the drain.
