  • KC1294 Kyle Casey (@KC1294) reported

    @eBay My ebay got hacked fix your website

  • TbagsTweeter TbaggingSince1990 (@TbagsTweeter) reported

    Fuckkk.. Hopefully they let me pick up my package from post office.. Didn't realize my name got saved on ebay under my Facebook name since I was using that originally for a login method, I changed it but eh..

  • Tsweet80 The Broke Rich Auntie (@Tsweet80) reported

    @E_flee25 @Nike Yes they did now they’re on eBay for 499.00 plus. I’m always able to get my Jordan’s and AF1s with no issue but I did notice the TSU shoe went fast.

  • cardsbyandy Cardsbyandy (@cardsbyandy) reported

    @Cheesepuff430 @CardPurchaser That's pretty bad. Two thoughts 1) if eBay lists it as mint or perfect, you should expect that. So ***** poker by this guy. 2) if I'm selling a card that could reasonably expect to be graded like this one, I grade before selling to avoid this problem, even if it won't gem.

    @DrNeilStone Elon Musk was disliked by the other founders of PayPal. PayPal was created from merger and it was luck because it emerged when eBay and Amazon became a thing. I remember when lobbying groups and banks tried to shut them down - the just had better marketing than them.

  • IssacRiddle6 Master Gnome Of The Bush 🔥 (@IssacRiddle6) reported

    @maraisepic EBay. YouTube to fix

  • TheOmegaTyrant PL | Omega Tyrant (@TheOmegaTyrant) reported

    @ZephyrothGames Damn, I would also advise against doing it in one listing instead of putting them up individually, as it's against Ebay's rules to have different products in one listing. I see sellers get away with it, but I've had such group listings taken down before and was suspended for it.

  • MattwicksBMR Matt Wickham (@MattwicksBMR) reported

    @erixtar1992 @eBay It has become a problem with some phones the app seems a bit confused even getting reminders when an items has finished... I did find it was something to do with a setting when the device is basically sleeping or on standby, when you pick it up they came through.

  • randyleekirton Randal (@randyleekirton) reported

    @Cowenzilla I’ve never had an issue with eBay though. I honestly use eBay more than I do Amazon

  • woofwoofwoof81 fearsomebeaver (@woofwoofwoof81) reported

    @WatchTheBreaks My friend had this happen a few weeks ago. He was able to return it without issue but holy hell how stupid is this on eBay’s part.

  • MindRefine2 RefineYourMind2 (@MindRefine2) reported

    @jennybethm I have used PayPal for ebay only, which I can count the total transactions on one hand. Non issue, it was easy to cut out.

  • 3jqz3pni09wkel8 axing (@3jqz3pni09wkel8) reported

    @MorphosisNFT @amazon @eBay i've been waiting for launch pass forever now, im active in server too :'(

  • edacamila Aquela Camila lá 🍳 (@edacamila) reported

    @AskeBay @eBay why do you keep suspending my accounts ???? What's the problem with my Brazilian card and my brazilian money, that you can't seam to accept on PayPal ???? im gonna pay for what a order, COME ON !

  • ANT03__ 🐜 (@ANT03__) reported

    @freewayflippers I have never cancelled and made them re order. Just have them confirm the address in eBay messages(which the eBay staff can read if a problem arises) and you are good to go. I’ve done this with high ticket items. Don’t wanna lose the sale or inconvenience your customer.

  • OffDaHook35 Da Hook (@OffDaHook35) reported

    @HTV98_Cards Issue a refund yourself. If eBay does it, it will count against you as an unresolved item. There is a simple Ship Insure claim form on eBay that you fill out 30-60 days after the time the item SHOULD have been delivered. It is a few fields and a couple screenshots to upload.

  • _plinth_ Steve Hawley, but scary (@_plinth_) reported

    @rickasaurus I know someone who was looking at putting a jpg codec on a network card with the goal of making it faster to serve up scaled images from a network server. His goal was to target the eBay data center as a customer.

  • ZephyrothGames Zephyr (@ZephyrothGames) reported

    So frustrated with eBay right now. Spent a solid 2-3 hours getting all 115 of my Amiibo entered, adding UPCs, prices, and pictures, and getting them all ready to sell. When I hit "save" it told me that I needed to sign in again, and when I did the page was back to blank. 🤬

  • WesRobinson WesRobinson (@WesRobinson) reported

    What happened to @eBay ? So much fraud and the company can not be contacted nor can you report a fake profile who bought an item. Shows they must be valued by the number of users instead of purchases. Much like the issue on @Twitter

  • Baseball_dude8 JD (@Baseball_dude8) reported

    @WatchTheBreaks This is a good job by EBay since their authentication program covers more than just authenticating the card. It also covers accuracy of the listing and condition. Buyer might be ok with undeclared condition issue if they still want the card.

  • AssetAlex Asset Alex (@AssetAlex) reported

    @xzybrad I’ve got photos of the original cards and already expressed this to eBay that he may do so, so that shouldn’t be an issue

  • MendoLHCB Mark Keys (@MendoLHCB) reported

    @DGMHQ just had eBay take down a CK poster from San Francisco taken down for copy right infringement.What is achieved by denying your fans old memorabilia? As a fan of CK since the 70’s I’m astonished that Fripp and Co. Have turned into some old WANKERS. I won’t buy tix again.

  • CollWhatYouLove CollectWhatYouLove.Eth (@CollWhatYouLove) reported

    @V_arrell @JoshBobrowsky Ebay is fine - it's not great but it's fine Shipping cards in the mail is again fine - we ship everything in our lives, and how would you get me the physical asset? How are you guys making sure the PSA slab is authentic? This doesn't solve half of these "problems" IMO

  • CryptidPolitics Cryptid Politics 🇺🇸 (@CryptidPolitics) reported

    @CardPurchaser @SportsCardDadYT @boy_cards I continue hearing reports of slow shows, unsold product, and the declining prices on eBay are evident for all to see. Production is out of control. Cards all over retail shelves. Lots of bag holders right now. When they dump we take next leg down.

  • TMrboulton TheMrboulton (@TMrboulton) reported

    @AskeBay I'm trying to list items for sale on ebay uk but when I get to the price it trys to list in dollars. I've signed in and out of my account but this hasn't helped. Is it an ebay glitch? Thanks

  • WakefordRailway Wakeford Westgate (@WakefordRailway) reported

    @erixtar1992 @eBay I've noticed that too. Tried reinstalling the app to fix the issue but to no avail. I've missed out on loads of stuff! Forces me to bid early, but that's probably what they want... 🤷

  • not_steffy_nope steffy (@not_steffy_nope) reported

    my old 3ds had a broken hinge so I got a working used 2ds off of ebay but now I feel incredibly guilty for transfering over the data and replacing my old one after it served me so well for so long

  • LeanderCards Leander Cards (@LeanderCards) reported

    @ThNotoriousPAT @WatchTheBreaks Yah no way this sale qualifies for the threshold . eBay has some issues identifying automatically what should go through the service and what shouldn't

  • rosecoloredchar charlotte 🎃 (@rosecoloredchar) reported

    Alongside the usual war going on in my brain I decided to tackle sorting both of my locked bank accounts out which involved speaking to someone on the phone, issues with eBay listings and trying to cancel a monthly payment via a live chat today. I am now hideously overwhelmed. 👌

  • FrankWDoom Frank W. 'Crash' Override (@FrankWDoom) reported

    So ebay has broken something i guess as my saved searches are returning 80 listings for things i see about once every other year

  • Cowenzilla Cowen K. Gittens  (@Cowenzilla) reported

    @randyleekirton I’ve had issues with both. But somehow I find eBay to be kinda erratic.
