Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Elvis (@Godstimelvis) reported@Dexerto The $1,800 eBay listing is an outlier for a super rare sealed copy, but the point stands, even a standard used copy is pushing $300+. The market is completely broken for international fans.
-
moneyFever (@cashpyraxia_) reported@Turdburglar04 @brzomic @The3Antons We will see. So far the company has offered to buy eBay using stock & cash. This would negatively impact GMEs share price. If they issue common stock it will further impact price. As I’ve said before I’m not selling but if this all goes through I expect there will be a buying opp

fity.eth (@Fityeth) reported@NetAxisGroup If eBay is really worth fixing for 55B, the problem might not be the platform… it might be the people rejecting the check.
-
EMAW (@DanMyersCards) reported@Keith16King It's a USPS issue. Been that way forever. Just part of selling on ebay.
-
Stonks and Cards (@stonksandcards) reportedGot a message this morning from a buyer reporting an issue on a high end item I had at auction last night re: not being able to bid. I reach out to ebay to see what I can do. “Cancel the sale and block the buyer to avoid negative feedback.” Paraphrasing a bit here BUT WTF
-
Dynasty Cards (@dynastycards_) reportedHere’s an ebayer to avoid. I listed this Flagg (sold under $16) as pack fresh bc it was. I didn’t inspect as I had no intentions to grade but I do check for glaringly obvious issues. This guy will end up costing me $6 to ship to him and $6 to ship back all within ebay TOS just to get a free chance to inspect a card for perfect gem specs. Feels abusive to the TOS and certainly frustrating. I’ll just refund, eat it and avoid excess shipping. Lmk if you think I’m out of pocket. @CardPurchaser

Jon Waldman (@jonwaldman) reported@wemby210 @CardPurchaser The eBay problem is shipping often makes up for shortfall in expected sale.

Alan of TesCalendar 📆⚡️ (@TesCalendar1) reported@Zafir88538734 @ChadMoran In December I had to get my Tesla roof replaced, new 12V battery, and I did the CCS retrofit. That was $1800. I also broke my taillight on my Lightning that month so I needed a replacement taillight and VIN matched blind spot sensor. I bought both off of eBay for way less than new and Ford re-programmed for around $100. Before all of this they offered to troubleshoot the issue (I was pretty sure the issue was the sensor) for a reasonable price but I opted out and decided to gamble on a used sensor. Point being, they were really good and reasonable to work with and helped me fix my issue for a fraction of new cost. Not apples to apples, but Ford has also picked my truck up and brought it back for my 2 warranty repairs and this. For Tesla, I have to drive 2 hours each way for any repair. It’s been a hassle and enough to make me not want to deal with it anymore.

Alex Trigger (@AlexTrigger10) reported@userofintellect I'm pretty sure Cohen still plans to buy Ebay - he looked quite determined. BUT I also had a suspicion that was his secondary objective, the first being to have short make a mistake. And it looks like they made that mistake on Monday. $56 bn (!!!) market cap 'glitch' on BRK-B...

SANTI🧞⭐️ (@Santi_iiago36) reported@dbayexquisite The problem is I can’t check the phones i want to buy on eBay like the trust level isn’t that high enough for me

mikekevell84 (@mikekevell84) reported@yhessagonzales @PhantomBlack699 @eBay Ebay shareholders are the only ones to make money in the last month. Their stock is up. Ours is down.
-
Miss North 🇨🇦 (@MissNorthx) reported@luvblessingz Just go on eBay and buy one with a new battery or buy one and fix it/mod it yourself. I use my iPod every day and it brings such joy to my life. All I hear is music, no incoming texts, notifications, or calls. Freedom.

David Haar (@davidhaar) reportedAnyone else get autocharged by @dcsports87 recently? Won an auction & got autocharged immediately. Typically stack auction wins over a few days & then take advantage of combined shipping & handling. Ebay glitch or how dcsports87 auctions are set up now? @CardPurchaser
-
David Brail (@DavidBrail) reportedStock half of the consideration requires GME to issue ~1.05B new shares against 448M outstanding. EBAY holders end up owning ~70% of the pro forma entity. This isn't a takeover. It's a reverse merger with Cohen ascending to CEO on a 2.7% economic interest.
-
Shane Ireland (@sireland12001) reported@eBay I was charged twice for a large ticket Item that I only sold once. I have spoken with customer support and I am having a difficult time communicating the issue with them. This should be simple if you look at my account.

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedSellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

🕊🏴☠️idkshit🏴☠️🕊 (@Benjamino69420) reported@TheMagnifishit Theyre pairs too. Same amount of puts to calls. So if ebay doesnt go through. U sell the long exposure and ride the short exposure right down. Great insurance policy and why i believe MMs and Hedge funds are piling in. One of them opened a 400m put position. Unless thats a brief exposure that will ****** hurt.

Phil Gitman (@gitman_phil) reported@terraformedmind @bostong41476161 @ryancohen Has he tanked every interview he’s done? The stock has been going down every day since the eBay offer dropped

RaichuRocks🇺🇲 (@RaichuRocks99) reported@wemby210 @CardPurchaser had a similar issue at a high roller vendor table. They had the Unified Minds double Raichu/Alolan(tail grab) PSA 10. Collectr had it at 1.3k. Latest sale was 2k. Guy wanted the ebay BIN price of 2.5k. No thanks. He said Collectr is slow at catching up

VirtualBacon (@virtualbacon) reportedBeen ripping packs the past week on @readycards Tried Whatnot, Fanatics Live, eBay breaks before. Same problem every time: trusting the streamer didn't pre-look, and any chase card is locked up for weeks on PSA before you can sell. Ready Cards is the first I've used where every pack is PSA-pre-graded and the pull is committed onchain via VRF before the break starts. Hit a card, you already know the grade, instant marketplace bid sitting right there. Disclosure: investor + they gave me SPIN credits to try it.

Quapaw Qwerty (@QuapawQ) reported@AvonandsomerRob That 2000 Honda Insight I bought on eBay. It wasn't lime green, but red, then a tiny man in a tall red pickup hit me. He couldn't see me way down there! So I had mine painted lime green. Loved that crazy lil' car. When mechanics weren't cursing it, that is.

Mike (@bcmike2342) reported@ry_childers @CardPurchaser I'm in Texas. I use ESE all the time with no issues. I had one buyer that got upcharged to Ground Advantage last year and I paid them back and got eBay to reimburse me..then I filed a complaint with the postmaster general. I sent about 3000 ESE last year.

En Sabah Nur, Mewtwo's Master (@Keith16King) reported@cardcreator5001 Everything is slow, at least in my area. I've had no problem getting my cards quickly everywhere else but eBay.

Michio⚡ZEC (@michiokage) reportedhey @ebay fix your iOS app. It is succumbing to the repeat scroll bug. Same element is being inserted over and over with each scroll after a point

Fury T (@FuryT2dot0) reported@LegendofNoward @Dexerto you are so ******* slow brother. as i sit here on my 3rd monitor on X messaging with you doing 2 other things on my main monitors. keep enjoying that **** box. and, it's just sad if you think I'm flexing my $40k a year in ebay sales when i also work a full time job.

Cam Van™ (@lowclassyuppie) reported@owenbroadcast I joked about eBay being broken and some dweeb hopped into my replies with "UMMM ACTUALLY THEY WERE HACKED, IDIOT!"

Fruitloops1984 (@Fruitloops1984) reported@BoilerPaulie @ryancohen Ebay can issue the poison pills as necessary.

LetsHara (@anaharaway) reported@ryeandbitters eBay wants GME for better CEO and better board. How do you justify all the crazy stuff happening within eBay’s board? It’s really bad. It’s embarrassing. Ryan Cohen is not going keep his stocks of eBay if they don’t get their act together. That alone is a big issue.
