    @Alek_Douglas_64 Thank you for contacting us directly due to an eBay policy, we are no longer able to resolve issues directly with our customers. Please contact us via the message centre, selecting the reason you have a question about your item and we will receive your email and be happy to help.

    @AskeBay Been reporting them for years. It's pointless, as there's no real @eBay followup effort to clamp down on sales of blatantly copied #trademark items. I stopped reporting altogether because #eBay actually started sponsoring some of the #dodgy listings.

  • treasurehaus mal 🔪 (@treasurehaus) reported

    really considering buying some teen girl magazines from the early 00s for novel stuff but ebay doesnt seem to have a lot of them ................... does anyone have any ideas where to get back issues of sugar and such

  • LiquidAwesome The Liquid Awesome (@LiquidAwesome) reported

    @KrsJams Shows were having this problem pre COVID too. One of the last local shows I went to I only bought dollar and random issues because all "sought after" books (not even all real keys) were like 10-50% above Ebay. @KeyIssuesNick had this gripe as well.

  • ghoulbasement Jayson Kennedy (@ghoulbasement) reported

    @sambalthier Sounds like a possible malfunctioning/broken part to the loading mechanism. These are built very cheaply unfornately. Not worth the cost of repair, often see these Funai-built combos broken. If you sell on eBay I'd try to flip it on there. Probably get more than $8.

  • skeletorr08 skeletorr08 (@skeletorr08) reported

    @eBay @AndruEdwards i would not sell expensive collectibles on this website any longer, the new payout system is absolutely terrible, like an absolute joke, you want me to send out items before i receive funds, when its been the opposite for like 20 years, bye Ebay!

  • skeletorr08 skeletorr08 (@skeletorr08) reported

    @eBay @SanyaRichiRoss wondering why you decided to make it harder and take longer to receive what you call "payouts" LOL terrible, will be moving to other e commerce sites, waste of time here, and ive been selling for more than a decade. Shame.

  • TheCJMitchell Conrad Mitchell (@TheCJMitchell) reported

    @AskeBay That’s the issue. It’s over 3300 items. I looked online and not one sports card listing had the “condition” available as it looks like everyone was impacted. That’s a big big issue that I don’t think eBay anticipated or assumed that everyone will just update their listings.

  • umarfarooqphoto Umar Farooq (@umarfarooqphoto) reported

    @PS5StockAlertUK been looking for PS5, since launch date. Fell victim to a scam trying to buy off eBay and lost £650 pounds. but one can only learn from past lessons. I also have my name down for the VIP Currys codes, but no success so far. Please help 😢

  • SamBartolone Sam Bartolone (@SamBartolone) reported

    @1time4thePeople Is there a better place to look up comps besides eBay? I have trouble finding specifc comics there.

  • theshoegawd TheShoeGawd™ 🎃 (@theshoegawd) reported

    @c2allwaysbanned i got it fixed... had to open a new bank account. seems to be a problem with wells fargo and ebay.

    @nypost the ebay took my Aunt Jemima "Breakfast Club" button down because it was offensive bombs are defensive

  • Breitlingmax Mr Breitling (@Breitlingmax) reported

    @eBay Ebay it's been months and you keep asking me for information. But when I put it in it doesn't except. STOP asking me for information!! Everything is what it is and when I try to contact you it keeps taking me in a Loop! MEMPHISGOODS2011 FIX THIS PLEASE

  • MrAdamMcNelis Adam McNelis (@MrAdamMcNelis) reported

    @afjgillespie But one star though? What a *******. That is up there with some of the worst 'eBay review wankerdom'. Don't let the bastards grind you down. 👊✊🤘👍

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

    @julianwass Sorry to hear that UPS aren't being more helpful! Because they're at fault for the damage, it's down to them to assist with your claim. We don't have a hand in UPS' claim process so aren't able to advise on those but are here to help on eBay's side of things! ~Dionne

  • joshua_swonger Joshua Swonger (@joshua_swonger) reported

    @TrainerINTEL These asshats are just going to sell them on ebay for triple the price...this is becoming a problem, the people that really get joy out of having these items cant, because people are selfish

  • KonerkosBonerko Paul Bonerko (@KonerkosBonerko) reported

    @MySoxSummer It was a trial by error move from the get go. Just pointing out too how eBay is going to ruin the hobby thru sheer greed. I never flipped something from ebay to ebay but gave it a go since it happened to me recently (only that person turned a $60 purchase into $200).

  • Garswoodlatic George Chilvers (@Garswoodlatic) reported

    @angrypiln As a 69 year old who lives on t'internet, Facebook, Twitter, Facetime, Amazon, eBay, online shopping etc etc, funnily enough I had no problem renewing my bus pass.

  • nativega82 Natalia Vega (@nativega82) reported

    @AskeBay @AskeBay @eBay I just sent a DM with the requested info. FYI I just tried printing the label a few minutes ago and got the same error message I did yesterday.

  • elextranjero77 Elextranjero (@elextranjero77) reported

    @ThePowerCon This @ThePowerCon Exclusives were Scalpers friendly, please explain to me how you let people attending Power-Con get 10 of each item and Non attending 3 of each, It doesn't make any sense, now LOOK at all your Exclusives been sell on Ebay, Thank you for letting your fans down.

  • Democraticist #StateNHS #WakeUp #WeAreMany 🇪🇺 (@Democraticist) reported

    @AskeBay Done it & I wish you would do something about it, as that email is NOT used on anything else but eBay - strangely some sellers got it - including a large UK retailer (no reply), as they sent order details via OWN server, not #eBayMessaging! Something isn't right, clearly! Thanks

  • Venera34345321 Venera (@Venera34345321) reported

    @AskeBay I already dm please help i didn’t understand anything i get suspended but before i get suspended a different location login my account i didn’t do anything i just trying do discover the eBay

  • TerrorTwoTrees Terror Time (@TerrorTwoTrees) reported

    @cheetum @LogitechG GMK and ePBT (cherry lay-out), DSA, SA, and MT3 are all common after high quality market keycaps (the only problem is they take a year to ship cause group buys). eBay and aliexpress have lots of keycaps that are less than stellar quality but good enough and have lots of colours.

  • TheShyRetirer Zakk Grant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 (@TheShyRetirer) reported

    Considering I was about to pay this exact same price for two singular issues off of eBay I'm considering every issue beyond the two I was going to buy singular as free

  • ComicsSteve Steve (@ComicsSteve) reported

    @ASmith_Petersen Wow. Yea, eBay is crawling with that issue selling for hundreds of dollars. I have the Frison variant cover and every now and then check people selling it on eBay, and it’s selling for hundreds of dollars also

  • nolifesaturn JohnCo (@nolifesaturn) reported

    @MichaelKees2 @Apple Look on eBay/Craigslist and you will find 5-8yr old MacBook/Pros for sale for $400-$800 still, and they still work just fine. I had a 2011 MBP in 2018 and it ran amazing and didnt have issues. I only upgraded to the new 16” last summer cause I wanted more screen & Retina

  • 8c8hris8 christopher (@8c8hris8) reported

    @AskeBay I recently sold an expensive item on ebay. The customer used it for 2 weeks and returned it broken. I am now out the item, the shipping to/from customer, the proceeds from the sale and now a $225 refund charge eBay has levied on me. WTF

  • DJ_Link David Amador 🐙 (@DJ_Link) reported

    Those 480p ~$30-$40 projectors we can find on eBay/Aliexpress sound terrible for modern consoles/movie projection, however I’m thinking that maybe for the lower res retro consoles it might be a good solution

  • SassyPharmD I Choose To #WearAMask #BLM #StayHome #StaySafe (@SassyPharmD) reported

    @tee_spoonie Buy on eBay way cheaper! I’ve never had any issues.
