    @AmazonHelp Yah , yah, Amazon is also going @eBay way, hope it also won't endup with same fate as #eBayIndia had.... Showing Good Product and Delivering Cheap Chinese Product. Description says 1yrs warranty, but when face any problem and contact them, they just washoff their hands.

    @bluenotebacker There are occasionally issues being sold from the States on ebay but when you add postage to the UK I just can't afford them. The issues I found the other day were from France, I can never find them being sold from the UK.

    @EricBrust10 I’ve used eBay a lot and never had a problem, if you screw people you get kicked off. I bought almost all my GameCube games off there and never had a problem. A lot small businesses use it

    @JohnHollod I’ve had one sitting like that five had one sitting as “pending” since Nov 11. No idea what the issue is and eBay won’t let me cancel the order and the seller won’t respond to messages.

    Judging by an eBay purchase I received, "untested" means: I tested it, couldn't fix it, physically damaged the internals a bit more whilst trying and then lied on eBay to get a bit more cash.

    And another ******* time waster on eBay. Making out the Xbox One X I sold them is faulty because they can't use the power menu to turn off the Xbox. Why are people such scum of the earth? The 'Karen' obviously bought it thinking it was the new Series X and has realised her error.

    Been let down by @adidas big time today. Allowing customers to bulk buy new releases so they can sell them on ebay rather than giving real fans the chance to get a pair. Only care about money.

    @AskeBay Hello, thanks. This NOT individual issue. This is an overall problem on Ebay which needs looking at. We cannot return items on ebay as you pay for postage. Sellers no responsibility. UK sellers are awful. I avoid buying on Ebay. I only buy if I cannot find an item on Amazon. UK.

    I had an elderly customer call in tonight & discovered she fell for a scam of buying $400 in eBay gift cards & giving the codes to the scammer that was pretending to be from my works fraud dept. People suck and my heart is broken. ********.

    @AskeBay hi there. I recently received an email inviting me to take part in the eBay easy returns initiative after an order of a Playstation 2 game. It invited me to return the item for a full refund without contacting the seller, if there was any issues. The item was not as...

    @AskPayPal I'm having an issue with a payment made to an @eBay account (that was a scam.) A case was opened and closed (I may have filled it in wrong) but eBay cannot look into it any further as they believe the case is still open awaiting my input. Can you help please?

    There’s always ******* one on eBay. It either gets lost, goes missing or is delivered to their neighbour who won’t give it back. All complete bullshit. I have tracking, I guarantee that it works and it’s wrapped up safe. Your neighbours not my problem...

    @AskeBay Your rep on the 1 time I reached a LIVE person said I could ask you to step in on Dec 4th, but that is ALSO WRONG. 14 year customer, going to cancel my account and bad mouth you to everyone as soon as I get my $. Ebay can't compete any longer. TERRIBLE customer service

    @scottchantler @sillyrookie_art Marvel: oh so you want to get into series X after the movie? Well you better go and buy 40 singular issues second-hand from ebay, because NO we never made a tradeback and NO we won't put it in our digital service for you to read

    @iamterron I'm surprised that people still do. Pretty much every I've bought from @eBay is 99.9% 'genuine' counterfeit crap that I end up binning. @AmazonUK are going down the same path.

  • colinstu
    Eaglebutt (@colinstu) reported

    @TechConnectify Ebay probably polls shipping sites once a day for status, as well as each time you check the status manually yourself. So if it gets delivered after their usual polling time it may not update until you kick it off yourself. That’s my guess. Too frequent polling = high server load

    DLamichhane (@proxyDep) reported

    @PlayStation People are selling at significantly higher price in various online platforms basically in @ebay what is this? Is this not a black marketing? Sony must contact @eBay to down this type of sale in their platform. It is not something legal.

    @wisteriajoon Hahaha me too, the reason why I was buying from Sanity is because I'm having issues with Amazon and Ebay (I buy most of my non BTS albums from there) and the others are getting more expensive, therefore Sanity is becoming competitive, my old Twice album from Sanity arrived quick

    @billtully Would that work on the pages? I wipe down covers anyway. Been buying real books from ebay and amazon. Seems no way to guarantee the pages. Unless maybe brand new. Covers easy wiped.

    @JohnPGreen I always do once I've received my item. Only once was I not actually able to, apparently Psycho Green took so long to get to me that Ebay wouldn't let me leave feedback. I think the problem was that I preordered from the seller on day 1 and it was over 2 months before I got it.

    @jmagav I went eBay, I’ve done other expensive electronics through them and haven’t had any issues, but I would be lying if I wasn’t worrying that a rock would get sent to me.

    @DustinYocum1 @eBay My ex used to scam people on eBay all the time. "The item was destroyed so I threw it away." I lost count of how many fake problems came up after receiving an order.
