eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
ClevelandCollector (@Chuckmanintexas) reported@SamsMagicTape I feel like a lot of traction on eBay is algorithm driven. When I slow down on adding new auctions the system gets mad and I get no sales. I stick to at least 5 new auctions and the sales never stop.
-
Frank Schneider (@ballparfrank) reported@WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser Once it shows delivered it not your problem. Ebay will back you.
-
ItsPathy (@ItsPathy_) reported@eBay @eBayAU Hi! Having issues with a package sent from US > AU. I have: - Talked to a helpful support agent - Logged two cases that gave the same copy/paste 'solution' - Sent multiple follow up emails - No closer to resolution Please reach out to chat and sort out. Cheers!

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reported@glacierptrading Because GME cultists are angry, edge lord worshippers. I actually believe in RC. I think the comp plan is insane. But I think he has a good plan. And no, I do not believe he intends on buying eBay. I believe he is using eBay as a target to drive the share price down and create an insane squeeze dynamic. Buybacks coming.
-
𝕁𝕒𝕪 𝔹𝕠𝕓 & 𝕊𝕠𝕟𝕤 (@JayBobSons) reportedIs that like 8% sales tax? That's the biggest issue here, the 13% eBay cut has pretty much always been there, I feel like its payment for the 👀. So very often eBay is king!
-
Grace P. (@gracepap) reported@eBay please tell your IT people to fix. When item is sold elsewhere and I end listing on eBay do NOT put in the inactive file! Items that are sold get relisted!!!
-
Zoltan X Zeeblefritz (@Zeeblefritz) reported@Malone_Wealth @ryancohen Nothing about the GME price makes sense. They now own a significant portion of eBay, whose stock is up, yet the price goes down.

Dr. Sports Antagonist & Dr. Card Economist (@ourtradingcards) reportedHad a guy the other day on eBay... 1. 1 FB 2. About 15 items for sale 3. Listed a 1990 Donruss as an "error" because it said 1989 Leaf 4. Was asking $13,200 5. After I called him on it, he said "I've been doing this a long time... You don't know what you're talking about" 6. Later, after I blasted him, called himself a minor... so therefore... (I) was harassing a minor... 7. Ok

js°n (@InningOne) reported6/ Scenario C: The Fixed-Supply Squeeze GameStop announces the eBay acquisition and simultaneously weaponizes its own derivative plumbing by initiating a corporate action on the warrants. The board either buys them back or legally lowers the strike price (e.g., down to $15).
-
Sports Card Radio (@SportsCardRadio) reported@MGDTcards No real issues honestly. Only graded, only about 4 sellers on eBay and I limit the players. There’s quite a few guardrails, but since it’s a hot market the inventory is very liquid. I personally would only do graded since it’s a standardized system but no reason why it can’t do any card

hazardousmatter2 🔌🐰|🌠🎀|💭|🍑🥟|🐏 (@hzrdmttr2) reported@googlemaps My location keeps changing to Mexico and Brazil. I calibrate it and it's fine for a few hours and then goes back to either one of those. I don't have a VPN on, just using Starlink. Other apps like Facebook and eBay still use my correct location. How do I fix this?
-
Lion_Heart (@DeniseMarie305) reported@NavyVet Doing what they do best, FRAUD. Stealing them from stores and reselling them on ebay. Slithering snakes are not entitled to our court system! Deport immediately. I am sad that alligator Alcatraz is preparing to shut down

Feranmi (@Kenny_Tomide) reportedRipping a Solflare Pack for the first time hits different. I got in early but the "low inventory" warning had already started showing. Demand went from zero to real fast. Picked the turbo option. Buyback activated quicker than I expected. Check the screen recording. Here is what is actually happening inside Solflare right now: @Solflare just shipped Solflare Packs, graded physical trading cards (think Pokémon slabs sitting in vaults) you can buy and open directly inside your Solana wallet using $USDC → Pack ripping animations play out on-chain, every card that drops is an NFT representing a real graded slab stored in a vault → You get three choices after the reveal: keep it, take a 72-hour buyback for instant liquidity, or redeem it for physical delivery to your door → The turbo option speeds up the buyback window, which I used when low inventory warnings started showing up This is not a game. This is RWA infrastructure wearing a fun skin. @Collector_Crypt powers the tokenized TCG marketplace behind it. Physical collectibles, on-chain ownership, instant liquidity options. The gap between holding a graded slab in a vault and trading it on-chain just closed. Traditional card collecting always had one problem: liquidity. You either held the slab or listed it on eBay and waited. Solflare Packs removes that friction entirely. Low inventory warnings on day one tell you everything about where collector interest is heading. This is what real-world asset adoption looks like when the UX actually works. $SOL #sfpacks #Solflare

Fr. Matthew Venuti (@mvenuti1980) reported@Boyle_OReilly I just broke down and ordered a poor reprint of the pre-55 on eBay. Near impossible to find unless you want to spend more than a grand! My old Anglican Breviary is mid 1940s, but it's English only. I also want the Gallican psalter.
-
coooookie cutttter (@NunnnnnaB) reported@dear_angel_lacy @imtrashdva @soitgoeslexi I think it’s really ******* annoying to triple down on something like this when someone who acc spent their money on the cd has a review on it. This person got in the queue and bought something. They’re allowed to return it/be dissapointed in it and not sell it on eBay
-
inspector goole (@nerdkicker) reportedBack when I was obsessed with Dutch I switched my entire phone language to Dutch and then when I got sick of it I switched back to English but every so often it just creeps back in without my consent. Some apps (notably eBay) are fully in Dutch and I can’t fix it.
-
BADGRAPHIX (@badgraphix) reported@ElPlayerUno @inkfycreates "A few bucks" might be overselling it. You had me looking at eBay wondering if they had really gone that far down in price.
-
🎒 پیمان رزاقی (@peymanr_farsi) reportedNo idiot this has no ramifications back home It just shows deep down the monarchist animals are hypocrites that would take the Jersey and probably will attempt to sell it on ebay
-
odd ☆⋆˙ ˚⁺ ⋆ ⁎⁺˳✧༚ (@pusherll) reported@bleeder1999 i buy all my dvds from ebay and i’ve never had any problems!! the seller has to list the condition of the dvd and if they’re lying ebay will give you a refund. just make sure the dvds are for your region, and if subtitles are important to you make sure the dvd has them

Andrew Wilkinson (@StartupsILike) reportedPierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedFrom 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business and the margins has become stagnant at best and way behind at worst. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

Ari 🦭 (@goodphealings) reported@phevervale the issue is that there WAS one sold on ebay for that much hence these new listings
-
pancake_akechi6 (@_monoprix) reported@xEPluribusUnum @EvangelionShots don’t use amazon unless it’s amazon japan, it’s safer to buy from japanese individual resellers only issue would potentially be shipping costs but i enable the « free international shipping » filter on ebay
-
CD² (@Cryptic_Dollar) reported@TCGPokePlug @eBay That’s your problem you not using it enough to get the discounted fees and shipping

John (@jsoupzzz24) reported@dabfordale I also see another problem. Grown adults seeking free autographs to flip on eBay. Wish it was buy a shirt or hat instead of diecast. Or $25 donation to drivers charity.
-
Notions (@GoodIDeaDudes) reported@NymFrance If I was an American I’d be buying up a bunch of used iPhones ready to sell on eBay to people in the U.K in case it’s locked down on a device level.
-
Sparky (@sparky1980m) reported@eBay_UK @eBay @eBay_UK This bug still exists on desktop, please can we get a fix for UK users, I'm currently having to search on mobile app, then mess around with adding to watch list to access listings.
-
Yukki Garage (@YukkiGarage) reported@Dxnni_e @advice_ir2 That's legit dumb as ****... As an acclaimed car guy you should always advocate people get quality parts and mods. I'm not putting an ebay wing on my Mercedes or any car that will reguraly go over 80 on the highway LMAO.. just asking for issues..
-
Michael (@bravoactual05) reported@Han_Akamatsu RC has taken no money from the company and has only bought more GME WITH HIS OWN MONEY. He will be sitting on the eBay board of directors soon. This slow acquisition of eBay is scaring the out of the hedge funds. DONT BELIEVE THE FUD OR SHILLS. APES HOLD STRONG TOGETHER RCEO! 🚀
-
Carlo (@CarloCashMoney) reported@staypredictable Bonds are suppressing the price. Plus the 2.5 billion shares. Once buyback kicks in and big money comes on board price will run. Also shorts will pull the price down to make it harder to acquire eBay. But, time and patience always wins.
