    @deafcoree @CardPurchaser Not working for must be a issue on eBay’s end

  • CardPurchaser Card Purchaser (@CardPurchaser) reported

    Hearing a lot of complaints about eBay search not working... works fine for me on PC... maybe switch to app or browser depending on what you are using? Either way I'm looking for auctions to scoop up while you can't search

  • bthjf1 JohnF (@bthjf1) reported

    @CardPurchaser is eBay down for anyone?

  • CardPhilthy Philthy Card Breaks (@CardPhilthy) reported

    @CardsMax I need to pick your brain on twitter selling at some point Max. I sell 50 cards a month on eBay, no problem. Trying to sell the same cards on twitter is just pulling teeth. I've basically given up at this point. I've had some luck on discord, but no other social media platform

  • Paul_Saccone Paul Saccone (@Paul_Saccone) reported

    Update, swallowed my pride and bought a pair off eBay. They'll be on their way to an authenticator before getting to me, so at least I know I'm not gonna get ****** over. Yes, it's buying into the problem, but there was a 0% chance of me not getting these, so, so be it.

  • MALT3SE Malti (@MALT3SE) reported

    @eBay @Syr_Inge This is a system issue.

  • iamraena iamraena (@iamraena) reported

    @eBay @Syr_Inge Searches on app doesn’t not work showing no results. Please fix

  • Vinyl_Blues Daniel X-ennial (@Vinyl_Blues) reported

    @eBay @Syr_Inge eBay - it’s happening worldwide. It’s not just about one person’s app. Please fix!

  • ewokpelts Gene-Paul Kelly (@ewokpelts) reported

    @lefty_collins @BaldyCards @CardPurchaser My kids have devices where the payment info is locked down hard. And they have no apps where they could “just buy” whatever they want, be it eBay or grub hub. WTF

  • ClutchCollecto2 Clutch Collectors (@ClutchCollecto2) reported

    eBay issues today

  • NealDorman28 Neal Dorman (@NealDorman28) reported

    @johnfphotos I sold it last year on eBay and buyer returned saying it was slow to focus, It works 100% as it should, older technology not like it’s the latest canon professional 2023 model

  • Chel_trac | Chel | tetris god | (@Chel_trac) reported

    I can’t wait until it’s my birthday so I can make a fat order of comics on eBay I know which ones I want and there’s like four countdown to final crisis issues, two lost days single issues (!!! These ******* are so hard to track down) and a few others I am excited

  • tlucas1305 Tony Lucas (@tlucas1305) reported

    Im tired of slow payers - I thought of a new rule for slow payers on Ebay. They should implement the “ship according to payment speed” rule. If you pay in same day/1 day, seller has 2 days to ship. Pay in 2 ship in 4, pay in 3 ship in 5, pay in 4 ship in 7 days. @CardPurchaser

  • KhaZacs KhaZacs (@KhaZacs) reported

    @tessa_vt This is such a terrible thread lol IF XLR IS TOO EXPENSIVE YOU CAN JUST GET THIS $250 MIC. Just go on eBay and get a used Focusrite solo (still splurging) and a Shure SM57 for like 150 total?? I have 3 different mics for different purposes and I would never have picked that one.

    @dontbrued refuses to coin. That’s fine. All different backgrounds in her pics cropped from eBay it looks like and $240 under comps. Ummmmm that’s all scammer behavior. Not saying she is but that’s Literally what scammers do. Coin it and this is a non issue
