Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Eric the Red / Kelenic Collector (@FatherBreaks) reported@eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

Sweethoneyxd (@Gods_sunset) reported@JRho_11 Starting the video w/ that musty *** helmet he prob got off eBay is insane. Literally hit record while putting the helmet in frame andddd putting his top down. Mean time he prob circling an empty parking lot
-
Number 5 (@NumberFiveAlive) reported@clarkknowscards @phatjer300 @OnlyCharizard If you select “buyer requested cancellation” it will not ding your eBay account. All the other options from the drop down menu do. I lost top rated seller once for cancelling just 2 orders within a couple months.

Clazziquai (@Clazziquai_Nico) reported@TheNTDOfan Might have to hunt one down on ebay or Vinted

Gerard Hughes ( @ghhughes.bsky.social ) (@ghhughes) reported@selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.

Sean (@firinzlol) reported@ThePokeMD It’s fine had a similar issue before. eBay rep basically said if it is a fake card then it will always get rejected so this “miscategorization” isn’t related to authenticity etc
-
Pokémon Deals, Restock and Alerts (@PokemonRestockr) reported@J_Vetter14 @Stassibaby12 @Pacho9_3 I assume it was ebay to took the seller down, keep me updated on what happens. Wild times

Gavin Forsyth (@Gavin4syth) reported@eBay @askebay This does not work. The options only loop with no option to resolve my issue because I cannot contact an agent by phone.
-
Allyson 🪷 Bento (@NoSurrender_87) reported@Jtsbae69 I started using eBay in college & stick with that since I’ve built reviews. Starting fresh, I’d go down a Reddit rabbit hole, there are so many damn options now. See what sounds best. Make sure whatever you go with has seller protections!
-
Stitch (@StitchKings) reported88 PSA 10 Pongo Enchanted’s From Fabled exist. My first raw just came in and is absolutely a contender. Grabbed another clean copy coming in from Australia for $259.86 last night with taxes and fees. The boys down under are lagging in market prices. Make sure you check out Australian sellers on eBay 🇦🇺 #Pokemon ————> #Lorcana

norm19020 (@norm19020) reported@CardPurchaser Is anyone else having issues trying to make offers on @ebay this morning? I get a message saying “we are experiencing a technical problem”
-
Ask About My Dining Room Tables replyguy/acc, PhD (@agamemnus_dev) reported@aupdegraff24 @CatNihon Same with eBay. I keep calling them about a listing that they suspended showing them that it should be back online. They said they will fix it within 2-3 business days and they never do.
-
Simon What (@Whachazuck) reported@davidareader @yeehahboogie @eevblog Ebay seem to have bought the Inpost contract from Vinted, not been option for while on Vinted. Standard US monopoly their basic search is full of issues, zero innovation but buy up the competition, or their main postage method anyway Need to rename as eDropshipbay since 2004..
-
Tyler (@SeeifIhaveit) reportedBeware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.

Bird Dog Gaming (@BirdDogGaming) reportedIt’s so easy to open your phone, hop on eBay and buy a PS2 game Any time I want to add an NES game to the collection I have to sit down and figure out what inserts came with it and which variant I want to buy and THEN dig through listings to see if there’s even a CIB listed
-
Yianni (@fishytuxedo) reported@WristByAde I wonder about authenticity when I buy watches off eBay. I don’t spend much and I can’t imagine the oddballs I do buy are worth the trouble to counterfeit. I think the big issues I have are with “Frankenwatches” so watches that are put together with non-original parts

— Daniel (@_danreynolds_) reportedDesigned and sold my own bike parts on eBay First £1k online Absolutely zero clue what I was doing I just saw a space for a product, knew how to get stuff 3D printed, and built the product I wanted for myself - Ordered 3D printed parts for ~£7 - Final assembly + packaging ~£2 - Sold for £35 bosh Only shut it down bc a friend (competitor in the industry) asked me if I had insurance Spent a whole day phoning up insurance companies None of whom offered to cover me And bc the bike part was related to steering… I bottled it and shut down the biz (Didnt fancy my chances getting sued over an untested product if one of my buyers lost his teeth in a 1v1 with the floor) Boy oh boy that was a fun summer

James Sager:Father of the Smart Phone,AI,Techaform (@JamesSager) reported@grok @iamelijahfloyd @Grok I bought several magnets like that on ebay in order to work on a SRM motor... How would they be mounted so they're engaged to slow a metal disc like a tire rim?
-
Tel3 (@Tel3133186) reported@bertie4lily Can't say I've had problems with Ebay, usually cheaper and free postage.
-
Naomi June (@njkjh00) reported@united_imadoki Buying a broken laser pointer for 15 really set the bar for everything sold on eBay ever since
-
maeve (@lizziedossss) reported@TheShazamPow i actually looked this up the other day. its technically a grey area but it is blacklisted from ebay. so yes its a problem if you sell it but apparently owning it is fine?
-
Juan Tyrus (@GenesisFarmLLC) reported@tahiniok Yes it's called the AuraTone phone antenna. I you can pick one up on eBay from the manufacturer bypassing me and saving yourself some money. I don't want you to pay extra with me if money is an issue that is why it's open source. I have a post on who I go through somewhere.

NVSportsCards (@NVSportsCards) reported@CardsMax If Comc didn’t take 6 months to process or ship, they could have caused real problems for ebay.
-
Penni (@tulipgennaro) reportedSelling on eBay is so slow
-
Jenny Jen Jennifer VCR Queen (@vcrqueenjen) reported@FoxgirlGoRawr Yep! Overall, I've not had terrible luck with returns given the amount of things I've sold on ebay but it does happen from time to time & for some cursed reason I've had a few returns in the past couple weeks. It's abnormal to have multiple in such a short time and I don't like it lol
-
StuArt (@StuHack73) reported@TheRealBonJavi @johnshanks1 They’re worth about as much as a Jim'll Fix It badge on eBay, bin them.
-
Dusty (@Dusty_traders) reported@SaffronOlive @Ragnarok311 Report the presale and eBay will take it down.

ZaxCardZone (@ZaxCardZone) reportedMade my first mistake on eBay tn. Listed a card (over $20) with my PWE shipping cost (I set a flat rate of 1.25 for PWE). Shipping is $6, anyway to change/fix this or am I just out the $5. No big deal if so, this is what happens when I list cards extremely tired. @CardPurchaser
