eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • thesailorbook The Sailor Book (@thesailorbook) reported

    @SailorAstera @Ochibawolf @macasaurus_r3x At least you would have put an end to watching the item on eBay, hoping the price will go down or they make more…

  • ImprovLad David Reeves (@ImprovLad) reported

    @HeartWerkDJ @eBay They should also fix not holding hundreds of dollars from sellers when buyers do actually pay. They literally seized my account because I sold a graphics card without any selling history. So pissed

  • purebredgoodboy Good Boy Comics & Collectibles (@purebredgoodboy) reported

    @floppydogfitnes @CardPurchaser How hard it it to authenticate a card, despite a listing error. Seems like @eBay wants to add a new service, collect a new fee but not do one minute of work.

  • dressdaylight ✩ rachel ✶ (@dressdaylight) reported

    i know how bad some of y’all want the signed CDs but PLEASE DO NOT pay the ridiculous prices on eBay. If we don’t encourage that behavior, it will go away. Prices will go down, people will have extras, please do NOT pay 10x the retail price!!!

  • prestonjrcpl PRob (@prestonjrcpl) reported

    @Vikings @usbankstadium The drop on @unrlco is a joke. They need to fix their website. The scalpers have it figured out. They are already on eBay for $200. Had it in my cart, it wouldn’t let me pay, and as soon as it did it said sold out. The fan store did a much better drop with the UK hoodie.

  • thebarnfell Jack Duff (@thebarnfell) reported

    We argue that the issue here is redundant restriction. Compare why RRCs are bad on unique descriptions like "the founder of eBay". Demonstrative adjs (unlike dem determiners) generate unique reference in the nominal core, so the RRC is blocked. Turns out Hebrew does it too!

  • linton_rick Rick Linton (@linton_rick) reported

    @SkolBros The fix is don't let us put in cart if sold out... we get the limited availability but it's the process that doesn't work.. most of us have accounts and cards stored but that doesn't help. FRUSTRATING they are on ebay before they are even sold out .. stop the bots

  • middlfynga Middlfynga™ (@middlfynga) reported

    @eBay instead of using authenticators to trap sellers in a defect, it’s just as easy to message them that an inaccuracy was found and for them to fix it. You message us for everything else.

  • sp_412 s price (@sp_412) reported

    @eBay @AskeBay what tha fvk is this. Terrible

  • BatSh_tt Batshit (@BatSh_tt) reported

    @coganjay28 @BoltsfanMVP10 @CardPurchaser Settle down dude—give me chance before you start the trash talk—a lot to deal with right now. Miguel Torres was the buyer. I’ve already reached out to eBay this morning—didn’t get far yet (first calls to eBsy never seem to go well for me) but waiting for a supervisor to call me.

  • CollectTheMets Collect the Mets (@CollectTheMets) reported

    @CardsMax @WatchTheBreaks Have to wonder how long it will be until eBay starts offering authenticated consignment sales to get around the problem that they are causing.

  • Lawrence_IT Lawrence Lonsdale (@Lawrence_IT) reported

    @eBay @AskeBay @eBay_UK How hard is it to actually be able to pick up the phone and be able to speak to someone. I am having issues with a buyer and you seem to be going in his favor over an item he bought. Please could someone contact me ASAP

  • LadyFlamenca Margo (@LadyFlamenca) reported

    @eBay Fix your hideous, clunky, outdated UI

  • HitmanMichael22 SKOLNATION54 (@HitmanMichael22) reported

    @SkolBros Plenty to fix my friend they have scalpers buying these selling them on eBay double the price not everyone is on Minnesota either

  • Big_Succulento susney (@Big_Succulento) reported

    @CHguitar1229 went thrifting multiple time and came up short, got mine on ebay for 35 dollars. only reason i got it so cheap was the downstrum was broken. only needed to put a piece of a post it note to fix it lmao. would’ve got a cheaper wii one but adapters be expensive asf too.

  • HiveCards Hive Cards (@HiveCards) reported

    @MrKdub Its the same people complaining about eBay only offering $4 shipping and then still complaining after the eBay PWE program comes out. People refuse to credit ebay for the strides they make because they still haven't covered the biggest issue

  • LastSecondSnags Last Second Snags! (@LastSecondSnags) reported

    @LiveCards1 @eBay no problem!

  • acornleaff Angela🧣 (@acornleaff) reported

    Really annoyed for my sister @magicee_maria who bought a “moddable” switch on eBay only for it to arrive to find out it’s banned from connecting to the internet. The @eBay seller failed to disclose that problem and essentially scammed my sister. Annoying.

  • DaylightsTV Daylights (@DaylightsTV) reported

    @Andrew12thman Dude no problem at all. Need more helping hands/positivity in the community 100% -- if it is slabbed up it will say on the top of it. If not, you are usually best off looking in the bottom corner and seeing the number for example 9/92 and typing it into google/ebay.

  • Emma_M_Nichols Emma (@Emma_M_Nichols) reported

    @eBay would someone please mind helping me with payout issues with my bank account? I’m not able to reach an agent for some reason after trying for weeks.

  • vintagepuppets VintagePelhamPuppets (@vintagepuppets) reported

    Thanks @retonthenet and @YarnallKate hope to find stuff, trawling ebay and etsy but it's hopeless, I need to whittle it down to specific things really.

  • Wolfenpilot687 Rick Whitechest🔜AZFC/Confuror! (@Wolfenpilot687) reported

    @ArcticUrsine I go on eBay, see if anything is cheap, fun looking and within two sizes up or down of my actual size, and go for it. Have funnn!

  • awsports23 John Mooney (@awsports23) reported

    @floppydogfitnes @CardPurchaser Well, would be concerned you do not get the "AG" from eBay. Would "get in touch" about the issue.

  • EricSchultze Eric Schultze (@EricSchultze) reported

    @Dutch_NFL @unrlco @Vikings The website is broken. Some super smart computer folks figured out how to buy before 11. Scalpers had them for sale on eBay this morning before the sale even started.

  • CryptolusionX CryptolusionX - Blockchain Gaming Polska (@CryptolusionX) reported

    @smiffy2609 Keep eye on ebay and gumtree they defo will strip it down for parts

  • officialSabheeR Sabhee R (@officialSabheeR) reported

    Have a targeted item that you want to sell on your ebay store. You can sell different things here and there, but try to narrow down what you like to sell.

  • HeartWerkDJ 🪩 HeartWerk 🪩 (@HeartWerkDJ) reported from Tulsa, Oklahoma

    Man @eBay really gotta fix this buyers not paying thing.

  • BabyBurbank BurbankBaby (@BabyBurbank) reported

    @EL_ChmyKmT @kikisknees @marclamonthill If you want a little handmade black doll from 130 years ago, they’re available on eBay. If you want to be out of jail with no bail after being arrested for a violent crime, that’s a completely different issue.

  • Zakisbased Zag (@Zakisbased) reported

    @eBay hands down the worst seller platform in the game lol🗑

  • nectar Nectar (@nectar) reported

    @catman0210 Hi Antony. Sorry you had issues linking to eBay. Can you please DM me your details? I'll get that looked into. Chris
