    @Etsy I just got an email saying “After a comprehensive review of your account, Etsy has determined it violates our Terms of Service or House Rules.” Which is TOTAL BS. I never violated anything! I’ve had all of shirts in Amazon, Redbubble, EBay etc, without any issues. Complete BS!

    @eBay Problem with selling on Ebay. Seller sells watch. No scratches, works perfect. Buyer receives watch but has a change of heart. Intentionally scratches watch, complains, asks for money back. How is this resolved?

    Most issues with eBay purchases can be resolved by contacting the seller via eBay messages, this is not the end of the world #MyibidderTips

    Man @eBay New pay out system is TERRIBLE! Way too slow to get your money into your bank account, getting your money into Paypal and then sending it to your bank was WAY faster. Yeah this new system sucks.

    The fact that Nvidia released a graphics card yesterday based on the guts of a $700 card for $1200, which their board partners sold their models of for $2000, only to be immediately scalped for $3000+ on Ebay is emblematic of how broken the pc hardware market is right now.

    Every time I log in I keep getting a new login notice. What the heck is going on? & when I asked for a call back I got some lame excuse that my info was incorrect. eBay support has gotten worst!

    Man @eBay New pay out system is TERRIBLE! Way too slow to get your money into your bank account, getting your money into Paypal and then sending it to your bank was WAY faster. Yeah this new system sucks. Ebay sellers about to find new sites to sell on.

    @AskeBay Ebay and Paypal were both trusted. You need to establish trust in a system. This rushed attempt to solve a problem has large holes in it at the moment.

    the combination of my dire financial situation + crippling anxiety re: ebay/fb marketplace has lead me to turn to GAMESTOP to sell my consoles. down abysmal. down horrendous.

    @PUMA your #eBay customer service sucks, I’m trying to get a status on an order and you keep on giving me the runaround. Terrible!

    @MangledPayments eBay has a banner on their site, plus they break down the sale when they process the payment and under fees it showed 0%

    @GameSpot eBay claims to have binding contracts. But it’s up to the seller to track down and sue a nonpaying bidder. So that never happens. The last time I sold on eBay (years ago) I used buy it now with immediate payment.

    @Allbirds @Allbirds If you are concerned about the environment and reducing waste, why are you using Vero’s to take down legitimate listings of your product on eBay? Isn’t selling used shoes and keeping them out of landfills environmentally friendly?

    @chris_skinny @Cmakar8 @Avalanche Problem is there are none for sale anywhere except eBay and they are adding an extra $120 to the regular price

    @eBay Today I opened an ebay account to start selling on.... then you ban me for life. It makes absolutely no sense. I did everything possible to make sure it opened successfully including talking to one of your agents. Is this really something you cant help me fix?

    @krivnorixius @AvianFang_HS @wizards_magic As someone who has dealt with this stuff on tappedout, it is ugly, and no different from being scammed on ebay. There's nothing you can do if it happens, and we've all heard stories of people who are down considerable amounts of change/cards with nothing to show for it.

    @Buckeye20071 Never had a problem signing autographs for ANYBODY but somebody asking for them just to turn around and sell them on eBay was never okay with me

    So for days now I haven't been able to watch or unwatch any item on @eBay, some apparent internal error. Phone app is now useless.

    @eBay You decided to shut down all customer communication in the past year. Someone accidentally clicked "buy now" on a $6000 item I had listed. They messaged me they didn't want it. You took the fees and refused to respond to emails and recharged my card after I had to chargeback.

    @RealCpr1234 My old Fuji S5600. Bought for £100 Knackered it. Went down the stairs at Tamworth station without me twice. Got soaked. Took some cracking photos though. Put it on eBay to get rid & got £70. I’d have another in a heartbeat.

    @RBReich ANYONE who uses Amazon is part of the problem... Go to the store. Can’t make it to the store, most Amazon sellers also sell on EBay and get to keep more of the profits.

    I made a book keeping error twice Last month I made a $300 error & a $220 sell saved my *** This month I forgot to factor in my $200 script I’ve got to sell something on eBay I have a painting 🖼 listed it has a bid so that will help I’ll be living cheap this month

    @UoenoJACK Fam it's wild to me. Fb could legitimately take a real run at ebay/ craigslist down the line. I already prefer the platform to CL and I was a CL fanatic for like a decade.

    So it has been delivered, eBay just need a signature as proof, but 1st class mail doesn't require a signature, that's the problem

    @RoyalMailHelp Been to Argos gave all my details and they checked but are insisting they never received it. 2nd time this has happened with the same delivery office. Never had problems with other couriers delivering Ebay parcels there. So why has it been marked as delivered when it was not?
