Mojo 🇺🇸 (@QMojo8) reported@Pittsburgh1Pete I bought some cards 6 days ago and haven’t received them and eBay tracking is not working. Sellers say they shipped
-
DHCollects (@AltAssetInfo) reported@Jylesss I know it was an eBay issue, but Gixen lost me some cards this weekend. They should’ve been able to alert us that Bids weren’t being placed.
-
yung beefington (@Cardshop420) reportedeBay had some weird outage and the last few days were SLOW AF. Seems to be back to normal now as of today. Feeling good 😎
-
JayF (@knightoftism) reported@Mastu_Denton I'm watching this broken unopened cart on eBay, never seen a rev0 yet
-
Hey $MICKEY You're So Fine... (@mickeySoFine4) reported@MemoryReboot_ Dude those NVLinks are $2000 on eBay. You can just get yourself a server board and CPU that supports multiple full x16 speed PCIe 4.0 x16 slots for half that.
-
eBay (@eBay) reported@CordiliaRoberts Hey! Thanks for reaching out. We’re currently experiencing a technical issue that’s preventing some customers from accessing parts of the eBay site. Our technical teams are already aware of this and are working to resolve it as a high priority. We’re really sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we get this fixed.

Dominique (@lollielollypop) reportedAnd don’t even get me started on Jonghyun’s solo albums 😭 I have some listings for his albums saved on both Mercari and eBay, and every now and then I’ll look at them and just hope that the prices will go down (I know they won’t though).
-
Sean C (@Garron217) reportedThe @eBay API has been down for two days now due to DNS issue. TWO DAYS!! How is this possible in 2026? Is EBay usage so low now that this is not even news?
-
Zac Alan Cichy (@zcichy) reported@Maga_Abra If I ever manage to track down a good source for them, I’ll definitely let people in the community know. They’re very tricky to find. I got scammed on the wrong laser last time I tried eBay. I know @zaxour has had good luck by adjusting potentiometers with an Oscilloscope.

David Stevens (@David_Stevens10) reported@TravellerWales @status_is_down Still like it this morning and eBay went down last night
-
DM (@Dean1Michael) reported@AltonHibbert @eBay Yeah right, if I try setting that up there will be a problem and my acct will get locked out or something. eBay is a joke, they couldn’t even respond. How to ruin a platform 101…. Remove all the sellers making it happen.
-
Skogie's Cards (@SkogiesCards) reportedIs @eBay down again? I cannot bid
-
THFC_Theo 🏴🇳🇱 (@Rising_Goats) reported@eBay please hurry and fix your app I'm trying to buy something and I'm on a deadline
-
xLabs (@chefcurryrice2) reportedThe best Aaron Judge card I own is on Alt Auction and is ending very soon. This card came sealed with a Topps sticker from eBay. I sent it in for grading right away without removing the sticker, only to find out the top middle edge was slightly damaged. I could’ve done more due diligence to figure out where it happened, but by then it was too late. I thought about cracking it and trying to fix it, but decided to move on and find another copy. It’s still a beautiful card, and I think the edge could be fixed if you know what you’re doing. Corners and centering are strong. I’ll definitely miss this one.

sugiarto (@megaec070994) reported@eBay It is deeply embarrassing for a global platform like eBay to handle a serious, high-value consumer complaint with nothing but a loop of incompetent robots. By hiding behind automated links that offer no solutions, you are demonstrating a complete lack of accountability and professional ethics. My case involves the systemic seizure of my 4th rare antique property (Order #18-14506-82026), yet you treat it like a minor technical glitch. A refund is a financial transaction; customer service is a human one. Your refusal to provide a human supervisor—especially to a Premium user who is willing to pay for professional solutions—is a disgraceful failure of service. I have documented this interaction as proof of your corporate negligence for @FTC and the collector community

17th Son (@17thSonSchaefer) reported@eBay feedback saying shipping is too much; $4.99 for a $31 card, going to Hawaii… Clearly marked. Cheaper then it usually is for tracked bubble mailer going over the ocean. You have AI trying to catch people messaging about social media connection… I’m sure you can fix this stuff.

tako 🇨🇿🇪🇺 (@czechiaenjoyer) reported@mootsheep damn, when I buy "broken" stuff off ebay it's usually so trashed none of the parts are usable.

micah of whogaftwt (@TabaCentral) reportedCan someone rip this down and hold an auction for it on eBay
-
Big J State48 🇺🇸💚🌵📷🏜️🐕 (@JHinesSr) reported@_ElectricBoogie No never seen those before but if they are on ebay supplies page for sale I guarantee you want too much for them! We're selling sub $1 cards here ebay come on I can't pay $.25 per envelope! If I can't get my envelope costs down to below one cent then I'm doing it wrong!
-
Dan Edwards (@red1044) reported@skunkapecards @CardPurchaser Your issue is with eBay, not the buyer. Don’t act like a 🤡
-
Jyles (@Jylesss) reported@onemillioncubs ebay partner down too

V3RYJOSH 🇺🇸 (@V3RYJOSH) reportedthough sometimes, Emulation can be for understandable reason, for Old videogames, even old ones being risk of being lost media, or games that have gone too expensive on Ebay or other Retro retailers due to Economy on old consoles. So long as companies release their games, or your ripping the rom from Cartridges you already own, there is no issue. with games being released in newer hardware and on steam, I have no interest in emulating because of the variety of classics I can play becomes wider and wider. sure emulation = free, Supporting the offical release to me matters alot more in my opinion, is it to capitilize off of nostalgia? in most cases yes, but sometimes its to give a game a remaster with QoL, the greatest example I can come up with is the megaman Starforce Collection. though Rom hacks I am interested in weather it mods Such as the harder of Pokemon games, not to mention doing a Radomizer Nuzlocke is something I am interested in. plus pokemon clover looks funny asf. TL;DR I am in the middleground when it comes to morals of emulation all together, theres alot I agree with, and theres alot I disagree with, for example, I hate using the 3DS emulator simply because its diffult to get some games to perform properly with the amount of settings it has but I prefer to support the official release if it shows up on steam or new hardware.

tic-toc (@tiiictoooc) reported@steve901 @slabsharksinc @CardPurchaser Heres a crazy story a few years ago. Lady sold a Louis Vuitton bag on ebay, buyer opened case and returned. They then had it sent to a different address but down the street from the seller. They waited there to accept the package and went home with it. Seller lost both.
-
John B (@mdnjohnb) reported@eBay The customer service is truly the worse, the seller sent me a defective product. I opened a case and only if the seller doesn't respond for 3 days can ebay step in, the seller just go every day to add the tracking number and keep the issue fesh, and i can't contact support.
-
TerpCards (@TerpCards) reported@beardownjj @CardsDc23485 @CardPurchaser This was sold two days before the eBay issues and wasn't an auction. Most likely just priced wrong or something
-
Moons Card Shop (@moonscardshop) reported@WaxMetrix This cannot be said enough. eBay had a major outage affecting bidding, auction snipers, and shipping. Cards that sold during that window closed below market value because the normal bidding process was broken. eBay is even allowing sellers to cancel those auctions. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how legitimate those comps are. Hold your prices. The real market will reassert itself 💯
-
Digital Pickaxe (@LlcPickaxe) reported@Hammers091 How would it make their lives more difficult? They could sell on eBay or any other marketplace without issue.
-
nascar 9 (@nascar9cr7fan) reported@LsTdiecast @Oneracedeal You said up on my ebay and that was advertising your ebay you can do that without a link Its crazy how calmer the server is after you left
-
Kingdomall (@Kingdomall_) reported@1saacson @NewAgeCardKings I for one have looked over ebay listings - postings online, not even just call-out posts - and seen several issues with said cards. the only negative to not subbing yourself is not being able to directly hold the card.

Levi Salas (@youngceolevi) reported$5M on Amazon. Tried eBay… accounts shut down, money stuck, losing $. Asked ChatGPT: “How do I move $100K in liquidation inventory?” Answer: WhatNot April 26–28, 2025: $8K sold in 3 days. Now: ~$2M/year. Sometimes the pivot changes everything.
