𝙾𝙿𝙴𝚁𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 𝙽.𝙰.𝚃.𝙴. (@PsyOpNate) reported@frogNscorpion One time I got a warning from Ebay for trying to sell a pair of "Oakley frames with RX lenses". The item got taken down and I was warned for selling drugs

Levi Salas (@youngceolevi) reported$5M on Amazon. Tried eBay… accounts shut down, money stuck, losing $. Asked ChatGPT: “How do I move $100K in liquidation inventory?” Answer: WhatNot April 26–28, 2025: $8K sold in 3 days. Now: ~$2M/year. Sometimes the pivot changes everything.

Kronflux (@Kronflux1) reportedIs it yet time to tear down old PC with ddr3s and sell on ebay?
-
Liberty Courier (@LibertyCourier) reported@eBay @UPS @eBay allows an entirely preventable scam. Solutions: 1. If seller provides tracking AFTER the delivery date, no 'out for delivery' email notice is sent. FLAG THIS. 2. UPS tracking has recipient phone #. eBay has customer # on file. No match = INTERVENE. Fix your broken system.

Alex (@jeter1019) reported4. eBay has told me so many different things as I’ve sat on the phone with them for hours each day only for the last agent to say this is PSA who has to issue the return since I paid for grading their system does not allow eBay to start a return due to failed EBay Authentication
-
Lieutenant BaconWaffles (@LBaconwaff71365) reported@Joh_Rea @old_xian Same, I'm stuck with either Ebay or Amazon & praying the money actually gets to Old Xian. Really wish Mosspaca would open up some official shops outside of Taobao. I've had a lot of problems trying to order from Taobao in the past
-
Rizza’s Collectibles (@mikerizz33) reported@ImmanentFlux @k37troyer I’m batting 1000% with eBay standard envelopes tracked. No issues at all. Credit to the amazing postal service in Palm Beach County- been shipping cards out of here for 6 years and the PO has never screwed up, always fast too. I’m lucky.
-
G T (@gthomp6) reportedYeah - mine closed about 10% down from where I expected - wasn’t worth the fight and it’s all within the margin of error in this world. Some I see tonight are actually a lot lower. @MadisonCalvert issue was before the eBay outages. That guy just ended his auction at a stupid hour (probably scheduled the listing in am instead of pm)
-
Brent Wendland (@BrentWendland) reported@layscrispytaco Have had a total of 7 of these since last November. Super annoying. Have received messages from buyers that they received the item but tracking says otherwise. eBay should really work on getting a fix on a flawed tracking system.
-
Garrett (@btcgarrett) reportedStarting a new experiment: Building a private AI server on a Mac Mini M4. Goal: Automate my eBay reselling + side hustles without sending data to the cloud. I'll share: ✅ What works (and what breaks) ✅ Copy-paste configs + prompts ✅ Honest takes on the hype Follow along!

Django Knight 🎸 (@djangoknight) reported@eBay fix your dogshit app. You charge too many seller fees for this bullshit. Can’t scroll past messages from a week ago. Fix your bullshit.
-
Big J State48 🇺🇸💚🌵📷🏜️🐕 (@JHinesSr) reported@_ElectricBoogie No never seen those before but if they are on ebay supplies page for sale I guarantee you want too much for them! We're selling sub $1 cards here ebay come on I can't pay $.25 per envelope! If I can't get my envelope costs down to below one cent then I'm doing it wrong!
-
🌙 丂ㄖ山🝗㇄ㄩ (@iSowelu) reported@johnennis @amazon If the item page doesn’t show ‘ships and sold from Amazon’, you’re basically looking at an eBay like listing from a reseller, or Facebook Marketplace. Had this been an actual Amazon or partner stocked item, you’d have no trouble returning it. Always filter for ‘Prime Only’ items.
-
Mojo 🇺🇸 (@QMojo8) reported@Pittsburgh1Pete I bought some cards 6 days ago and haven’t received them and eBay tracking is not working. Sellers say they shipped
-
6 (@Hi68218Hi) reported@RblxTracker @Roblox_RTC hell no. this will only create another black market for predators on ebay looking to buy a verified roblox kids account, if this even works properly. I've seen more fetuses in 18+ games after the whole face recognition update came out. this won't fix anything.
-
Cable Cards (@SpaceFrogCowboy) reported@skunkapecards @CardPurchaser The 2nd comment is true.. don’t be a pushy seller. If you have an issue with the time allotted by eBay for the buyer to pay them set up the auto pay 1 hour after auction end feature.
-
MB (@AverageSavageMB) reported@SlimReaperCards @eBay @USPS Yeah, I have never done ESE bc every time you open this app there is another person with an issue! I may be in the minority here, but I’d rather just offer shipping at 2.99 or 3.99 & eat a couple dollars on shipping + fees than fool with ESE issues or potential negative feedback.
-
Yazabel (@Yazabel_x) reported@Hammers091 This is literally not why btw… me getting a limit of 2 per person per store is not why you’re not getting stock. Check eBay for the issue and google why pokemon is hard to get :)
-
Danice (it's 'Danis' not Denise) (@danice_danis) reported@eddawriter That's the plan. It's a forefront issue for me to source skulls ethically. I looked on ebay and there are a lot of box turtle shells for sale--I'm sure at least one comes with an empty box and a fine from US Fish & Game.

🩸 Rabbit 🩸Vampire Autism (@MaskedRabbitt) reportedStudying pissed me off so bad I opened ebay to look at sebastian figures to calm down
-
sugiarto (@megaec070994) reported@eatlearnplay @eBay It is deeply embarrassing for a global platform like eBay to handle a serious, high-value consumer complaint with nothing but a loop of incompetent robots. “By hiding behind automated links that offer no solutions, you are demonstrating a complete lack of accountability and professional ethics” My case involves the systemic seizure of my 4th rare antique property (Order #18-14506-82026), yet you treat it like a minor technical glitch. A refund is a financial transaction; customer service is a human one. Your refusal to provide a human supervisor—especially to a Premium user who is willing to pay for professional solutions—is a disgraceful failure of service. I have documented this interaction as proof of your corporate negligence for @FTC and the collector community

David Stevens (@David_Stevens10) reported@TravellerWales @status_is_down Still like it this morning and eBay went down last night
-
OmegaDad (@TheRealOmegaDad) reportedI wish @eBay would help out on those eBay labels…pretty much 95% of the issues I deal with as a seller are related to said labels. They get lost all the time, tracking never picks up, buyers get upset, the e post office erroneously sends them back for additional postage and on and on.
-
Dominique (@lollielollypop) reportedAnd don’t even get me started on Jonghyun’s solo albums 😭 I have some listings for his albums saved on both Mercari and eBay, and every now and then I’ll look at them and just hope that the prices will go down (I know they won’t though).
-
LeosCardz (@YoitisLeo) reported@Jylesss @eBay Of course eBay should take it down
-
Dale A Rex (@DaleARex) reported@RickHeaton32 @MyGolfSpy @TaylorMadeGolf The Qi35 driver is trash. I haven’t personally tried the new Qi4D but everyone is loving it and saying it’s much closer to the QI10. Personally… I would get on eBay & find a slightly used tour issue QI10.
-
Keith Troyer (@k37troyer) reportedIf you're having trouble selling $1-3 cards on ebay, maybe consider your $5+ shipping cost. 🤓😳

WILDISH 🏁 (@wildish500) reported@LsTdiecast @nascar9cr7fan @Oneracedeal You tried to post links to your eBay a million times even after you were reminded it was against server rules lol

Paul Wunderlich (@Paul_Wunderli) reported@eBay I’ve been scammed on an order I placed yesterday. I have screenshots that show the issues. Can you please help?
