  • CosmicLuna69 Cosmic (@CosmicLuna69) reported

    @VZWSupport We’re processing new ones. I get told so many things. Including someone will contact me. No emails, no messages on eBay. I have used message+ for Best Buy and gamestop with 0 issues. Use eBay once and it was fine. I bought 2 $100 cards and that’s a problem...

  • LastPackMojo Slab City (@LastPackMojo) reported

    @runGoodlife @CardPurchaser Error card it’s worth 2 million EBay 1/1

  • kingofpancakes Daddy Krueger🤬🔪 (@kingofpancakes) reported from Berwick, Maine

    @SawcySocial @LOUISIANA_BENNY I’m looking at one on ebay right now, but not too long ago I bought a super console x emulator that does the same thing. Pretty sweet. The only problem with mine, is the 64 games I specifically, I couldn’t move the characters for some reason, which is why I ended up buying one.

  • TheGalox_ Anthony (@TheGalox_) reported

    On Ebay you can get a Galaxy S21 for around $600 and a Galaxy S21U for $1000 These phones have gone down in value so fast its unbelievable.

  • YONKCARDS Matty Y (@YONKCARDS) reported

    @fantasybbhero Lol...I have a different problem. 33 eBay bucks can very easily make me justify a $3300 purchase.

  • EspysCards Espy's Cards (@EspysCards) reported

    Seriously, whats the point of using @eBay Standard Envelopes if the #USPS can't track them, and SO MANY are getting lost delayed. I can honestly say that I never had this many issues with a regular PWE and postage stamp. cc: @AskeBay

  • MCariCrowe Cari *M for Moderna* Crowe (@MCariCrowe) reported

    @tracy_forner @adamwren Oh? I see we have that in common. The Converse not the comics, though back when I was in Ebay, that was when I had a comics problem.

  • sabotune Richard Sabourin (@sabotune) reported

    this mess as to stop. you will get a class action starting pretty soon with all our delivery been lost and we are losing trust from the buyer and our rating is going down. it took my buyer in New York in USA almost 3 weeks to get it. i am sending email to all seller on Ebay

  • CosmicLuna69 Cosmic (@CosmicLuna69) reported

    @VZWSupport I bought gift cards via message+ for eBay. I planned to use them at eBay. First the tell me the cards were frozen for my safety. Then it’s because the cards Verizon sent me were already used. I bought them on the 29th of March. This issue is still ongoing. I was told they

  • CuddlyJoshie JoshieNeedsCuddles (@CuddlyJoshie) reported

    OMG wtf ebay @eBay @AskeBay @eBayNewsroom Your better sort out what ever the 🤬 is going on with your payment system because it is so unuseable, unfriendly and riddled with issues. It took 4 hours for me to pay for a purchase. I created a paypal because no other method worked.😡

  • TheHabs92 Christian Walters (@TheHabs92) reported

    @Atlantisonfire @DontBeSaad20 The card collecting area has blown up, everybody is doing it, prices have gone sky rocketing, card resellprices on ebay have skyrocketed. Unfortunately I got no LCS anywhere near me so I haven't had this issue

  • NewKz2 New Kz (@NewKz2) reported

    @eBay Your customer support is a joke, one of your reps Saul outright refused to help me with problem and said he would "read but not reply" to any future messages. He also refused to put me through to the team/supervisor responsible for my issue. 0 help!

  • JoeDinAV Joe Dunbar (@JoeDinAV) reported

    @mikebrandesav eBay is still a thing?! Do I need some AOL hours to login or what?

  • FalseAllegator False Allegator (@FalseAllegator) reported

    Can someone please come up with an online selling platform that doesn’t treat its sellers (cash cows) like **** or arbitrarily change the rules or fleece people with exorbitant fees. @eBay_UK have had it all there own way for too long. It’s time their monopoly was broken. #ebay

  • jiniphany ري (@jiniphany) reported

    @rainygcf i ordered one on ebay that never arrived im so mad, im still looking for reliable sellers on amazon and ebay but the problem is the shipping fees are crazy expensive like more than the book price itself so im having trouble with that 😭

  • droosion Droo (@droosion) reported

    . @eBay is a hub for electronics fraud and does absolutely nothing to protect its sellers contrary to their “seller protection” policies. Terrible customer service.

  • sue_wahoo SueWahoo (@sue_wahoo) reported

    @CSnackson @CardPurchaser Some of my eBay envelopes come up delivered and then I get them the next day or so. Sometimes when they scan them into a depot somewhere, they are marked delivered instead of just "on its way" so hopefully it's that kind of error.

  • kevin58078 kevin58078 (@kevin58078) reported

    @PayPal4Business @_HigherDOSE @SteveStrauss PayPal needs to be shut down for good. There aweful to Americans. China owned PayPal and EBay.

  • mamakatj k a t (@mamakatj) reported

    im so angry i went down an ebay rabbit hole and now i need a useless decorative art deco lucite cigarette box or else i will become very hostile

  • jimiDFIR Jim Schwar (@jimiDFIR) reported

    Why does @ebay always show an error message when you try to “Ask them to step in”. This is just crazy. Scams selling counterfeit goods won’t ever refund money.

  • Aurelius291 Mark Webster (@Aurelius291) reported

    @dark1x I tend to avoid eBay period. Was scammed twice and had enough. Don’t have those issues with Amazon and FB marketplace. Different setups sure but Amazon will back the buyer thankfully

  • lizzy6669 ♀️ (@lizzy6669) reported

    I emailed a seller on eBay and told them that I messaged them on 2nd asking for help on broken items they sent me and I haven’t heard from them so I’m reaching out for help again because I’m trying to avoid opening a case on eBay when we could just settle it ourselves

  • BrandiMorrow44 Cowcat44 (@BrandiMorrow44) reported

    @Phenom_85 @CharmanderHelps @PokemonTCGDrops Yeaahhh no dont pay $250 for a shiningfates ebt. Prices are going down on ebay etc, around $80 now.

  • jates0513 Moot (@jates0513) reported

    My girlfriend sent flowers to an Ebay shop to be put in resin. After not responding for weeks, they closed down the Etsy shop. These are flowers for her dad who passed away. They were a gift for her mom. What ********

  • MNsportswriter Chris Hennen (@MNsportswriter) reported

    @CardPurchaser @theflipu I’ve had this issue a lot recently. eBay saying it was delivered and it actually showing up the next day or hours later

  • thegamerilla Gamerilla (@thegamerilla) reported

    @MarcusRVO Actual checking eBay I think I got the better deal lol. I got $50 for each of the first 3 issues of Witchblade. Now they’re selling for $30 for 9.4 grade. Darkness even less.

  • PlaidCypress130 PlaidCypress130 (@PlaidCypress130) reported

    @mythichorse switch pro ain't coming out any time soon. My recommendation is buy the switch right now and when the switch pro releases sell the switch on eBay. I did the same with my ps4 to get a ps5. also domt worry. The price will go down but not by much. You will lose 30 to 50 dollars max

  • B00mzerk Fix P5 Strikers on Steam! (@B00mzerk) reported

    @TheAssass1n_ @PersonaWeeeb I think I paid somewhere between 600-800 for all of them, I saved quite a bit by going to thrift stores and repairing broken ones off ebay.

  • Bradfordjack Jack Leyland (@Bradfordjack) reported

    @eBay taking the pi$$ this morning, charging me £329 for ending an item early as i noticed and error in the listing (which I couldn’t change as it had received a bid) so I’ve not sold the item but been hammered with a ridiculous charge, Classy Ebay, very classy 👏👏

  • turtles_vrywhr May of knees (@turtles_vrywhr) reported

    @thetomska Wanted to call it but forgot it. Soooo many people had problems with selling stuff like this on ebay. Doesn't matter if it was for charity or not. People come up with the weirdest excuses..
