    @SEGAMew @IDWPublishing Only 3 SDCC Sonic comics, or just the 2021 issue. Nothing else I need from them but the shipping is just too much. It'll be on eBay eventually less then that.

    @AskeBay Hello sir, I started using my first ebay account today. I transferred it to the sales account and offered a second hand product for sale, but I got an error called mc113. This is my first account and I apologize if I wasn't aware of the rules. I have read your rules

  • mrlanphear Chris Lanphear (@mrlanphear) reported

    @PartyBottle1 They say confirmed and if they don’t score, they pull the listing down. Anyone can list anything on eBay. Bots do increase the likelihood of success but don’t guarantee it. Shopify stores are extremely easy to program for, speaking as a web developer.

  • mrniceguy33333 . (@mrniceguy33333) reported

    @eBay_UK also it might help if your going to report a listing and let us write the problem down so we can then let you know why we are reporting this , I will be emailing the government to try get them to look into eBay uk , loads of fake items and loads of China sellers

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Second-hand CPU listings on eBay, in order of increasing rejection likelihood: - No photo of pins/pads on bottom - CPU on what looks like your jeans, pins/pads face down - CPU with your fingers on the pins/pads holding it up to the camera from underneath

  • lgp1989 LGP89 (@lgp1989) reported

    @Jason_FZ1S Ebay pal. I've had two off there. Paid about 20 quid each. Replace one at 24k and one and 75k. No issues with the replacements, on 90k miles now 👍

  • sonny8s Sonny (@sonny8s) reported

    @michaelpatron0 That is the problem with playing inside a singular platform like etsy, ebay, amz etc its their walled garden and their way only

  • y0itzflip flip (@y0itzflip) reported

    @RirunStore i have the standard. it works better than any other in this range but if you upgrade the blade and keep it clean it’s awesome. over a year now no issues. came with 2 batteries and a charger. got it off ebay for around 20 shipped.

  • Jonathan2285 Jonny (@Jonathan2285) reported

    @kaio_9k eBay maybe There is this trade part of Amazon where you can trade your games or something you have depending on if they have it. There is a site called Trade4cash, but it's down because of Covid it seems.

  • TheShyRetirer Zakk Grant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 (@TheShyRetirer) reported

    The lot cost me $120 Canadian including shipping and I generally pay about $60 an issue including shipping on eBay on average so at least the price was more than fair

  • wayvsales ren (@wayvsales) reported

    they are asking for payments outside of ebay in the descriptions, so i’ve reported them. hopefully they will be taken down !

  • rachellos Rachel Ella Thomas (@rachellos) reported

    @eBay hi! My account’s been hacked and the login details changed, but I can’t access your ‘support for hacked accounts’ info or contact numbers without being able to log in (?). Can someone help please?

  • nonya21068198 nonya (@nonya21068198) reported

    @trmnwlkr @MangledPayments @ebay figured if they cut out paypal they could play with ur money and make interest off it while its in their account and hike their rate up that extra 2-3% and make extra bank. Problem is they suck so bad you can literally see things with no bids cause its so overpriced now.

  • _Identityless_ Identityless (@_Identityless_) reported

    @MyLittleGoth I went through similar problems with eBay and PayPal. In the end, I did what I had to do and got my money and closed my accounts. I really hope onlyfins stops dragging their feet and let’s you have access to your money.

  • CapeMike4 Michael Stancel (@CapeMike4) reported

    @callykarishokka Oh, I'm tempted...but I haven't had an ebay account for YEARS...; I *had* one, but it got hacked, and I shut it down fast when I found out.... :(

  • The_Magnet_Girl A magnet that writes Sci-Fi (@The_Magnet_Girl) reported

    @NennaTheKind @NanoRaptor Remember, always use a terminator when running multiple screens or you'll get terrible flicker. Also don't ever buy those cheap knick off cables on ebay, there missing the resistors on pins 9, 27 and 28, and thus deliver to much power to very delicate components.

  • FrankiePet Frankie🇮🇹 (@FrankiePet) reported

    .@eBay rlly has to fix the “add recommended item specifics” and “missing item specifics” no matter how many details I add its always there. This prevents me from sending offers to buyers. Very frustrating. Not sure if anyone has any recommendations or is having the same issue?

  • TWRHQ The Waiting Room 😷 wear a mask 😷 (@TWRHQ) reported

    @dgwilks So either eBay was having a glitch, the seller had accidentalky or purposefully set it up like that & forgot or wasn't saying, or his account is compromised. Either way, you can bid on his auctionS again :)

  • Daryl_Lindsay_1 Daryl Lindsay (@Daryl_Lindsay_1) reported

    @AskeBay Hi I have a problem with an item I’ve sold on my eBay uk account

  • Alex11647351 Alex (@Alex11647351) reported

    @Sar92992028 @eBay_UK I just received an harassing message from the seller I was having issues with and I cannot believe eBay removed my feedback to this person and it’s protecting this maniac!!!

  • TaiKamiya101 Tai Kamiya (@TaiKamiya101) reported

    Made me laugh. An eBay seller turned down my offer but I ended up bidding on the item and won it for even cheaper. Sometimes taking an offer is the better outcome over bidding.

    @gregroland17 @THEPOKEPLATEAU @eBay Ima mark it just in case I wanna break down

    @kaybeewastaken I used XP Pen Deco Pro M and it's pretty decent minus the taper issue on photoshop. Might be getting used Cintiq 13HD in good condition on Carousell or Ebay.

  • CourtleyManor DJ Marcilla 🦇 (@CourtleyManor) reported

    @SigynX1 good to know! i'm on a computer and a few mins ago I was suddenly able to uncheck things again, but then the error msg bs started up again as soon as i tried to uncheck "eCommerce" and "ebay" (I didn't even realize ebay was still in existence, btw).

    @ourtradingcards @CardPurchaser @NOPOCATS_541 What do these people hope for? Have there been elite level errors made by people on ebay?

    eBay clamping down on scalpers LMAO

  • BelindasHandbag Bel (@BelindasHandbag) reported
