eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
James (@UDJW79) reported@WeebyRevy My old OG XBox and PS2 had their lasers break. At that point, I sold them for dirt cheap. I imagine these conversions are often-times broken units bought for pennies on the dollar from EBay.
-
KB (@Paster0fMvppets) reported@wermzDKC We use to have a goodwill here but it closed down. Now we have something called red racks. I buy a lot of vhs at them. I looked on eBay but those people are proud of their prices.
-
GMLM (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ (@ladymulti) reported@WeebyRevy To be fair, the console could be broken. My original Dreamcast won't play discs anymore. It was cheaper to buy a new Dreamcast (and I did) than repair my original one. A lot of people buy and sell broken consoles on Ebay to use for things like this.
-
Allen Cooper (@Al_Cooper7) reported@eBay @HollyTurbill It’s a waste of time Holly. It’s all just bots and automated responses when you have any issues with eBay.
-
Fact (@Fact) reportedIn 2006, an Australian man attempted to sell New Zealand on eBay. The bidding reached $3,000 before eBay shut it down.
-
Threevee (@darealthreevee) reported@KLeinzz0xL Just a hobby. I buy cheap broken consoles on Ebay and fix them. If I don't have one I add it to my collection, otherwise I trade them into the game store or gift them to friends. This particular ps1 is going to a friend who's ps1 broke recently
-
Robert LeRoy Parker (@RobertLeRoyPar6) reported@ToobEwe45597 @ATRightMovies Actually have this issue. Bought it on Ebay.
-
Will (@wiggleee_w0rm) reported@dizzy_dman Depends. From the actual team, hit or miss? Actually from someone like eBay, definitely stanky Recently received a Thrashers jersey (rip) and the jersey smelled like cheap cologne. Was terrible. Received another game worn jersey and there was a stain that got progressively worse
-
Build With Ryan (@Build_with_Ryan) reported@pmitu I disagree. I spoke to several eBay resellers about the issues they were having. Built Privy - an eBay product intelligence tool that solved those problems. But I’m struggling to get active users!
-
Joe🌯 (@0x_Joe) reportedThe crazier part is TCGPlayer is so much worse. I went back to ebay and it was relieving, but still a big problem. TCGplayer is like 2 weeks after you mark as shipped or sometning. On TCGPlayer I constantly ran into liquidity issues and had more money pending than liquid.
-
Squid (@sydkg02) reported@TheLazyArtist67 @NovineLeaks I hope Ebay also does something too bc if this does get take down, he might go back there
-
Thirsty’s New and Used (@SudduthPhillip) reported@SamuelMunroe @ClassicComics3 I’ve only seen them in the wild a couple of times. Mostly I hit antique shops for this stuff. Maybe I’ll do EBay when I get down to where I only need a couple to complete. If I see them the Hitchcock Investigators I’ll definitely grab them.
-
Robb Carlson (@robbc_) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay It’s such a terrible “service” they’re offering - just put EVERY order at risk.
-
Pomerleaub (@Pomerleaub265) reported@LememeJames ******* scalpers are literally greedy *** clowns !!! Scalpers hurt people trying to collect for the hobby by trying to gouge actual TCG collectors….its one thing to buy a pack and down the road trade or sell your cards but taking entire shelves to upsell on eBay for 4x too far!
-
bobster57 (@bobster57174203) reported@RobbieRaygun Other issues with ebay lately are they insist you return counterfeit items to the seller enabling them to scam another buyer in the future
-
Big J State48 🇺🇸💚🌵📷🏜️🐕 (@JHinesSr) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay Yeah they definitely have people working at the bay that have no clue about trading cards! AND FIX YOUR STANDARD ENVELOPE PROGRAM EBAY IT SUCKS ***!
-
Phil A. Buster. (@DanDLio50048934) reported@TugboatPhil @freddavelynn Years ago I bought several years issues of the American Rifleman magazine from the 1950s & 1960s on ebay. None of the mail order ads had zip codes.
-
H.B. (@GMC_Capital) reported@chuybaca @eBay @CardPurchaser Great point, simple idea, and agreed - should be a straightforward fix.
-
Paul Joshua Urriza (@Bigbrourriza) reported@ValtSaber Oh I never used eBay you know my account got taken down for some reason I don't why when I sign up
-
Scott Paterno, Shabbos Goy (@ScottPaterno) reportedFor a hat guy - and I have a couple hundred all told - the Masters hat in the same green as the jacket is a near holy grail. They don’t sell it, and if it shows up on eBay they run that thing down and you never get invited back.
-
MiBo @RadioVagabund@radiosocial.de (@do3mib) reported@2j4ez The same problem as with all old cassette decks: the belt. It’s made of rubber, and rubber ages. Either it slips or it’s already snapped. Opening it up and replacing it isn’t difficult; replacement belts are available for very little money, e.g. on eBay
-
Tara Daniella White 🏳️⚧️ (@white_tara31129) reported@goodapoll0iv I like this. I bought Watchmen again off eBay years ago and I accidentally bent up the spin of issue 12. I paid over $200 for all 12 comics. I just needed what I owned as a kid. Got it back. Good read.
-
Yorkshire Jamie (@YorkshireJam) reportedI wish people like @eBay @eBay_UK would stop changing ****. Trying to list an item with MY chosen method of postage isn’t allowed now? Wtf is going on with the world. Stop fixing things that aren’t ******* broken.
-
GEM Mint Truth (@james_bring) reported@trunkofcards @CardPurchaser The seller shouldn’t care about someone else’s eBay fees. Not the sellers problem.
-
EMAC (@emac_rex) reported@FlockMastaMon @CardPurchaser Happens on eBay sometimes too. I’ve gotten a negative review because a dude found a better deal on a card the next day and wanted a full refund, but I had already sent it to the post office and have a no returns policy. They like to take out operator error on the seller.
-
Kookycrank (@Kookycrank) reported@puppyxbite You can look for skateboards on eBay and fix em up + paint them
-
militaria collector (@militariaFlickr) reported from Caddington, England@CenturionArms I'm UK based, I normally slim down through EBAY
-
C H I N A 🍓 (@thesportychi) reported@quinnysoda It’s OK it happens. I’m pretty sure if I do decide to get it down the line I can find it on eBay.
-
Leo (@Leo_R_UK) reported@Samaytwt Look you can buy a decent second hand i5 i7 server put Linux on it with 32gb or more for less than £200 all you need to do is terminal into that to code from and you can do that from a 2012 MacBook Air for £60 from eBay. Coding it 2026 shouldn’t be expensive!
-
Katherine Argent (@effthealgorithm) reported@Cross_Malaki Many gaming consoles play DVDs, too. A CD/DVD player attachment you can connect to a computer is dirt cheap at Walmart. Combo TV & DVD players are still manufactured, or you can get retro ones on eBay. And yes, there are still people who know how to fix them if things break.
