    @LittleKeegs0 I paid 5 bucks for my windows 10 a couple years ago with some code off EBay, no problems so far

  • sashasoftshark 🌌 soft space shark 🦈 (@sashasoftshark) reported

  • JarrodRWS Jarrod (@JarrodRWS) reported

    @Barnacules I sold a server rack on Trademe (NZ version of Ebay)... asked what the purpose was... turns out it a place to store laptops for crypto mining.

  • thedeadroads13 John (@thedeadroads13) reported

    Hi @dpd_support is there an issue with delivering to an ebay pick up point in Argos? I had notification yesterday that the delivery could not be made. Thanks.

  • jimnochance Jimmy (@jimnochance) reported

    @FatPowerForward See that's how I feel as well. Seems like the seller maybe didn't get as much as they wanted and trying to recover some funds by cheating on postage. I've been noticing massive ethics problems on ebay just in the last month or so.

    @safeasfuck This is my main issue I'll spend hours just browsing not reading! Will look on ebay later on!

  • EuropePatriot Lest We Forget (@EuropePatriot) reported

    @DaveJenks2020 @ggmstrength So get the kids toys from eBay...................problem solved! Psyops only work if you let them!

  • TaskertheThird Michael Tasker (@TaskertheThird) reported

    People on eBay are so rude. Demanding you pay back half of what they paid because they slightly disagree on the quality of what you said was a damaged product and then threaten legal action because you don’t respond instantaneously. Doesn’t half put your mood down 😒

    @syedzakiahmed_ @AppleSupport I got the same problem when I purchase mine on eBay just got it fixed through Hacker_Collins on Instagram

  • COOLPRO195 Pedro Gouveia (COOLPRO195) (@COOLPRO195) reported

    It’s like they never learn after all these previous times even tho customers have addressed this problem multiple times. I don’t know know many times we’re gonna have to point it out. To no surprise eBay scalp listings went up in large numbers yet again as a result. (2/2)

  • FLOWInvesting FLOW Investing - We Grow With You (@FLOWInvesting) reported

    @WagCapital So the alternatives today are eBay and Amazon, and both have VERY high return rates because there is not a good database of buying process to ensure the parts fit. So bad user experience, lots of effort, slow adoption to online. $FLES

  • LaserDiscTurtle Laserdisc Turtle (@LaserDiscTurtle) reported

    @icoheal @bigmikeleeder I only have two Hong Kong discs. One of them I managed to pick up on eBay USA. The other I got through a contact in the US who specialises in HK laserdiscs. His friends in HK were able to track down a copy for me. They can be hard to find in the west, but shouldn't be expensive.

  • Neil_gardens Neil Cooper (@Neil_gardens) reported

    @sweetpeacdf @thriftygreen Yes, I would second this. Buying a second hand tunnel is great, I bought 3 this way, one off eBay, one from a nursery that closed down and another off the wife of a late friend.

  • GregPCMS Greg Potts (@GregPCMS) reported

    @AskeBay my account has been hacked and it will not let me login to change anything. I am trying to call eBay but it needs me to login which I am unable to do. How to I get the rectified?

  • p_jneal Pete Neal (@p_jneal) reported

    Has anyone had any issues with purchases from Curry’s PC World? @curryspcworld @teamknowhowuk terrible experience from their eBay store tried to buy a computer for my lad, took my money, waited for delivery, finally to be told not coming, waited 38 days for refund, appalled!

  • iamjustmissy IamjustMissy (@iamjustmissy) reported

    @AskeBay Yeah I don't trust @eBay with my bank account details . Also @PayPal always been there as the safety net, that solves problems . 9 out of 10 times it is PayPal that takes care of my issues with sellers/buyers alike. We are losing that safety. This stinks.

  • DavidY02221984 Dave Y (@DavidY02221984) reported

    @Wario64 The problem is that nothing is being done about the scalping. The only people that continually have stock is eBay and the scalpers.

  • Topnotch1083 RedYELLOWBlue(KIRK Fletcher) (@Topnotch1083) reported

    @greatleftfoot84 I don't buy on Ebay anymore so it's no problem. Seller's don't care about the Customer on that platform anymore. Been with Ebay since 2006 and I have noticed lately 95% of sellers on there are trying to scam people on that platform or take there time shipping and ignore questions

  • atrocity213 Jay Udell (@atrocity213) reported

    Can you please pull @eBay item # 154333018482 down? By saying Target version, he’s misleading people into thinking they’re getting a Target Exclusive cd. There is no Target version of this cd. It’s the same across all retail outlets. @AskeBay

  • neteinstein Pedro Vicente (@neteinstein) reported

    @eBay I can't login on the website, although my app seems to be working. Any issues with login currently?

  • leamingtonpete peter davis (@leamingtonpete) reported

    @eBay_UK Buying an item, saying it 'doesn't work' and returning your original broken item to seller. Then ebay not only refunds the buyer but they get to keep your shiny new item. EBay refuses to accept security marks. And the buyer uses the feedback system to their advantage.

  • 21royalstreet twenty one royal street (@21royalstreet) reported

    Someone please permanently shut down my eBay account.

  • ShaneKatz73 Shane Katz (@ShaneKatz73) reported

    That Brady Bowman RC still hasn’t been delivered. Was out for delivery on 2/11 and then awaiting delivery scan since 2/12. Did open up a case with USPS on 2/18 and was assigned a case number. Glad I insured package with eBay. Anyone having any similar issues lately?

  • BackboxWilly Backbox ***** (@BackboxWilly) reported

    Hey @musicMagpie , due to a glitch in the eBay app yesterday my order got placed twice. My immediate cancellation request got rejected because you’d ‘already posted it’. What’s with all the lying you bunch of fraudsters?

  • OakzuTV Oakzu (@OakzuTV) reported

    Sometimes when I'm bored I buy broken toasters on ebay so I can throw them through people's windows

  • JohnWilinski WowJohnWow (@JohnWilinski) reported

    @Puzzgon Yeah that seems like a big problem. My weak heart settled for a marked up ebay listing.

  • 10a789 10a789 (@10a789) reported

    ETSY - you are not very helpful. Why not reply to this inquiry? Why not fix this problem. I am deleting my etsy account and will be using ebay and other websites instead.
