    @mike_gammon Maybe it's that then. First time buying on eBay in years. I remember I used to had to set a separate clock timed perfectly with the clock on eBay to do a last few seconds bid! Now it has one counting down in the bidding box. Looks like it glitched then. RIP!

  • takingxsides brooke 🐝 (@takingxsides) reported

    everything is broken inside the camcorder i got lol i threw it out (i only paid $15 on ebay)

  • SheHulk Takadoshika U~ittakā (@SheHulk) reported

    @icathler I generally go on the hunt on eBay, it’s knowing what will work that’s the problem

  • ArchbspMegtrnQC ZenoEvil - Meaning Machines (@ArchbspMegtrnQC) reported

    Walking down a country lane with limited internet signal suddenly remember I was planning to drop a last minute bid on something on eBay. Managed to log in and bid in the 28s remaining by standing on a bench and waving my phone in the air… And for once I actually ‘won’!

  • RebelLeftShark mord’sharky (@RebelLeftShark) reported

    @valorianru I love this game so much I literally hunted down a steel box for cause I hadn’t gotten it when it first came out due to LACK OF MARKETING. So many bids on eBay took place.

  • princecarwash 𝓳𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓼 🫀🍄💾 (@princecarwash) reported

    i feel terrible when i win something on eBay for far less than it’s actually worth. feels like stealing 😕 i bid £60.70 and i got them for £23.30 😕 it’s all fair and square i suppose but overwhelming urge to transfer this woman more money and apologise profusely

  • DavidMacLuna David MacLuna (@DavidMacLuna) reported

    @PotO2021 LMAO - well, there's your problem. It's upstream, at the ISP, and they're sublimely unaware. I suppose you could buy a cable modem - I got a Motorola Surfboard from eBay for $15 - but it's hard to beat your brute force solution: elegant overkill, and can't have too much overkill

  • PestoEnthusiast Pesto Enthusiast (@PestoEnthusiast) reported

    I've never had a worse customer experience than trying to set the charity I work for up as a seller on @eBay. I'm a month in, and I've got nothing but to show for it but bad chat support and an endless cascade of useless error messages. If this wasn't for work, I'd have bailed.

    If the @scotgov introduce the vaccine passport at the end of the month except for people with medical exemption what certification will be needed,a sunflower lanyard that you can buy 3 for a £1 on ebay or will the GP's be put under pressure to actually issue a proper certificate

  • Kythra2 Kythra (@Kythra2) reported

    I had to wait a DECADE for Ebay to become a thing so I could actually track down a copy of the Sega CD version of that game and by then they were developing a PSX Remake.

  • SuddenlyABear SuddenlyABear (@SuddenlyABear) reported

    @PokemonMax Ive never had an issue with my Japanese boxes from ebay

  • cinnimel melissa 🍒 (@cinnimel) reported

    Sometimes I think I’m a really ****** person, but then I remember one of my younger cousins had a small stuffed stormtrooper from when he was a baby, so obviously it was in terrible condition, and I found the exact one on eBay years later, sent the link to my aunt, and now he 1/2

  • baldvinny vinny milano (@baldvinny) reported

    @allsenseaside @Ask_Spectrum sell it on ebay, not your problem

  • EllieMRoberts Dr Ellie Mackin Roberts #FreePalestine (@EllieMRoberts) reported

    How do people go about finding things on Depop and Vinted? And eBay I guess. I need some new (to me) clothes that actually fit me and suit me and I just… am clearly a terrible online/thrift shopper.

  • brunchndragons CyberBuffalo -- THIS IS HORSEAPPLES. (@brunchndragons) reported

    @ctrl_alt_rees @retrotink2 @bobbus74 I need to get one of these UAV mods. Earlier this summer I finally installed the composite mod I bought off eBay without really knowing much more and the output looks terrible. I’m hoping the UAV can clean it up a bit

  • MizukiiMoon Mizukii (@MizukiiMoon) reported

    Is planning on starting an Instagram sales page soon, to hopefully make some spare cash for the plushies on my wishlist :) Too much trouble on eBay, got to try and find alternative places to sell 👍

  • Jesseday8 Jesse.Joe. (@Jesseday8) reported

    @StaffordSid @eric_karno Forget EBay, They are down to Craigslist.

  • carbootboy UK Olly (@carbootboy) reported

    @albi0naces @Retrodisco_UK @AskeBay Thank you. Should be simple. Sell stuff receive money. But eBay keep messing about with stuff and I spend half my time coping with technical issues. eBay doesn’t make it easy.

  • yixura ixura (@yixura) reported

    i choose to believe that as soon as impact finishes taping, they immediately tear the entire set down and cut everything into pieces to sell on ebay like they're a wrestling chop shop

  • RhodesytheBear Paul Rhodes (@RhodesytheBear) reported

    I have taught myself to repair Xbox controllers. (Well, YT has). My new hobby is buying broken controllers from ebay, fixing them and waiting for praise from Mrs R. Sadly, praise has been slow in forthcoming.

  • RobL_L Rob (@RobL_L) reported

    @gray @stan_chow No problem. Check out the audiophilac channel on you tube. Happy to help re anything you see on ebay. I have all older stuff apart from Linn streamer. Naim, Marantz, Audiolab. Sounds amazing and would cost £25k to replace.

    @Man2Pie No idea to be fair, I think that was the last year before NB got the boot wasn't it, loads of supply issues then, and that kit was like hen's teeth all season. Probably on ebay for a major wedge!

  • RaminNayersina Ramin Nayersina (@RaminNayersina) reported

    Typical Chinese eBay Scam: China Seller's fake ad is for a nice item for $100 but ships you an item from Dollar Store or broken rejected items from a factory. You complain, the China Seller says its too expensive for you to ship it back, let's settle for $50. eBay Supports it!

  • blanka121282 Blanka (@blanka121282) reported

    @TurtleTime85 @BINKS_Wolf Damn. Jealous. I'm about to plop down 130 on eBay for one.

  • rigsby1734 Nick (@rigsby1734) reported

    @shunt96 @Xtal191 @MUFCKITS I had the same problem from ebay. I have someone buying 1 and another maybe buying the 2nd but i reordered XL too.

    eBay seller error in your favour, collect 16gb extra RAM

  • SynicaalGaming Synicaal Gaming (@SynicaalGaming) reported

    @PreyRipz @PokemonMax @eBay ebay still holding money from a sale that arrived over a week ago stating its a high dollar item so they are holding to make sure the buyer doesn't have an issue. The high value is over 999$.. so I said anything over 999 I should sell on stockx then right.. they said correct.

  • andysowards Δ𝐧đㄚ 🅂🄾🅆🄰🅁🄳🅂 (@andysowards) reported

    @MrWannabe00 @ZedMinor @Wario64 I got a used series 1 on ebay - the guy said it had drift, after he dropped it off the couch, it was practically brand new. I got it - it works flawlessly, no drift at all. I think it's a YMMV issue, but if you take care of your controller it'll be fine most likely

  • KevRuss58 Kevin Russell (@KevRuss58) reported

    @authenticbock @leighsales When Pfizer knocks on your door and you slam it in their face is more likely the problem. Then you scrounge your supply off eBay! Embarrassing.
