    Ebay is acting up, I’m having trouble processing orders. 😭 So fun fact: My favorite book series is Mitch Rapp by Vince Flynn. There are currently 24 books, with the 25th coming out this year. I have been reading the series for 9 years now, although the series is much older than that. My goal is to replace all my paperback copies with hardcovers. Which is what I’m doing on eBay. I’ve read them all and I love the series. But honestly, I don’t know how much longer Mitch Rapp can go, the guy is in his 50s. The original author, Vince Flynn, unfortunately passed away in 2013, but the series has continued through other authors like Kyle Mills and now Don Bentley. There was also a movie adaptation in 2017 starring my celebrity crush Dylan O’Brien as Mitch Rapp. I thought the movie was good, unfortunately, we didn’t get a sequel. Dylan was alright, but its not who I pictured as Mitch Rapp.

    @mnchies Problem with investing in cards is liquidity I had a basketball/baseball collection and it took me forever to offload + with the eBay fees and post office trips it simply wasn’t worth the time & effort… It became a tedious pain in the *** even as my collection did 2-3 x…

    @KelVarnsenCards This is what the cost of shipping is without any discounts. If the seller buys the label from eBay or Pirateship, the discount takes it down to $5-5.50. Seller probably doesn’t realize, but this factor is losing them sales.

    @coastalcardcoll @eBay @CardPurchaser Yep terrible service. Over 9000+ reports this afternoon reported on the downdetector. I try to call ebay and they no longer offer a customer service line it’s all through operator and automated. They refer me to contact them through the website which is glitching out along w app

    @Jakeelias93 @eBay It’s down :( No wonder I’ve gotten very few sales today.

  • ValueAddedRS

    eBay has now posted an announcement promising to protect sellers from negative or neutral feedback & defects resulting from these technical issues. Auction sellers may cancel orders that ended after April 26, 12:01 pm PT, with seller performance protections & refunds of associated selling & ad fees.  Again it's a good start, but it does not negate the need for eBay to provide a full, transparent post-mortem analysis once the issue is completely resolved.

    Welp, @eBay is down again for a second straight day in a major way. Shameful to not acknowledge a widespread problem and leave their sellers and buyers hanging. @CardPurchaser

    So, yeah, eBay is all the way down right now. Unbelievable.

    @PokeSignals @PokeTCGAlerts The problem with that, is that there are big and small shows every single week. These "vendors" tend to rush buy product weekly so they can sell they weekend. If they can't push product that weekend, they'll have to resort to FBM/Ebay but the shows provide their quick flow so they can rinse and repeat. Without that quick flow they can't simply go to another show.

    @CardPurchaser seeing any eBay sellers cancelling claiming an outage? Just had a card cancelled that I was able to bid on in the final minutes. They cancelled saying it’s out of stock and have now relisted. So frustrating that eBay could take my money and seller can cancel.
