Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Natty Supreme (@Ball__Atreides) reported@sgeorgetter If I may, easy fix here is PM 1/4 zip color of his choice and you can still buy the patch on eBay and other sites. Easy enough for a local tailor shop to sew it on!
-
Paul Ellison (@GRTigers) reported@MikesUpperDeck1 @CheckOutMyCards Are they going to refund any shipping or handling fees? Seems like they ought to with them failing to meet any kind of timeliness with the shipping. In spite of the issues with eBay, at least they require the seller to ship within 4 days.

Charlie (@Chalutzie) reported@dogspawnn @f4micom It’s not just about ads. Older kindles don’t support Amazons new ebook format with DRM. This means anyone who spends $2 like me on a ****** broken eBay kindle can download any book from Amazon, move it to their computer, and then “return” it, keeping the copy on their computer

Pimpdaddysatan (@_Pimpdaddysatan) reported@ReelJustinLewis I had one, listed it on eBay and right before it got pulled down for being against standards some dude messaged and offered $600 for the dagger and sheath. I should have kept it, but at the time years back, I needed the money.. 👍

nick (@np92199219) reported@BourbonInvestm2 I “sell similar” every 2 weeks. Not an issue for the last 3 years on eBay.

(Not *****) Dom (@DomABCDEFG) reported@eBay take 10 minutes to listen to people and fix this nonsense. Every. Single. Time. They arrive like this.

Wawa (@WawaXRP) reported@Nortier Very true. Big difference is like adidas sells all the same products so they have have warehouses all over with the same stock. Problem with a RWA marketplace warehouse is that like eBay it’s a perpetual rotating supply of what people are listing, and the sellers themselves are holding custody for 90% of items so shipping depends based on where seller lives not necessarily the marketplace location. That’s why it probably has to come down to an issue of who should pay for shipping that’s fair for all parties. Really, sellers could list a $100 item for $150 and then shipping is free for buyer and seller would receive $100 minus 50 for shipping if it comes out of seller side.

Ylliaster (@Ylliaster) reportedBest part is that I got paid last night, I'm already down to £20, but at least I don't owe anyone anything until may. So I thought 'it's okay, I still have £130 to come from @eBay ' except no I don't, because despite them saying '2 days after delivery' and then '0-2 days for
-
Tom’s Cards (@TomsCards24) reported@imsoblushing sadly no :/ only ebay scalpers. only $20 at the ballpark so hopefully reseller prices come down the longer they’re at the park!
-
EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reported9 Week Recap Days 1-63 Total sales: $18,292.93 Buy cost (COG): $3,185.73 eBay earnings: $9,602.69 Net profit: $6,416.96 ROI: 201% Started with trial and error. Now it’s starting to feel repeatable. The biggest difference? Better decisions. Buying smarter. Moving faster. Letting the data ROI is trending up week by week
-
PsyoptimusPrime (@FutureLuckyGuy) reported@saya08521010 Most of us overseas get ours from people in Japan that buy them locally and sell them on eBay or Yahoo auction So it's kind of a result of both. And many people here contribute to the problem by buying only to sell higher, not to play or collect them
-
lil_nathan 💛💙 rotbb era (@zorza_poranna) reported@crazy__bard nvm I found a thread on reddit for people with the same problem as us and one guy yesterday wrote about it being sold on ebay by a german guy who prints patches, SLIGHTLY changed but for me it works.
-
Squid (@sydkg02) reported@eBay Well to be honest, none of the options on the page deal with this issue
-
9sOnly (@Blake5874) reported@phatjer300 @CardPurchaser @eBay I didn't see minor issues. I'm not a grader.
-
pokegrade.ai (@pokegrade) reported@CazaToy We literally gain nothing. We don't sell data to anyone, we gain barely anything in Google Ad revenue, and we make barely anything on our shop items. We started as a few collectors just curious about pre-grading their own cards and seeing what raw listings on ebay might be worth buying to get graded. After we saw how fun, easy and useful the tool was, we decided to make it free for the community. We lost ~$4,000 just keeping the lights on last year. We'll do the same this year. We have plans for 2027 to launch a physical device to help alleviate issues in the grading industry, and we're excited about that aspect of actual "business." But we'll keep pre-grading free forever.

radioJim (@radioJimLIVE) reported@mediablasters1 Any insight on what's going on with the Gunsmith Cats license? Animeigo/MediaOCD had it for a bit, but it's weird that the Blu-Ray is out of print now going for $700 on eBay, while Riding Bean got a budget reprint without issue. 🤔
-
EMAC (@emac_rex) reported@FlockMastaMon @CardPurchaser Happens on eBay sometimes too. I’ve gotten a negative review because a dude found a better deal on a card the next day and wanted a full refund, but I had already sent it to the post office and have a no returns policy. They like to take out operator error on the seller.
-
Ash (Taylor’s Version) 🧡 (@ashwee427) reportedstill waiting for @ebay to fix this listing issue. Chatted with support over a week ago and they said they were aware of the issue. I have a backlog of drafts waiting to be listed for sale 🫠
-
Dr. Di Chadwell, A&P, Hon.C.TDNN, Ret. (@ONELONEDOLPHIN) reported@DrewBarrymore @beautifulbydrew.com @ebay #coffeemachinemanufacturers If we have to FIX IT B4 USE..NOBODY wants what you're peddling! Brand new out of the box coffee machines should only require WATER & FRESH ROASTED COFFEE BEANS & poke the gd GO button!
-
Spencer Giblin 🜃 (@spencergiblin) reported@M7_Reaper @OptcgUnc @KingJester98 And it’s bullshit and they should refuse to buy at anything other MSRP or under. It would stop this bullshit. Let scalpers sit on the **** or sell it themselves to whomever on eBay. Shops are absolutely part of the problem.

Harry Potter PC WIZARD, BSc(Hons) Computing (@goodluckharrykm) reported@Makanjila_23 @FNBZambia I have been trying all week, using different card it’s not working, the platform eBay is the one with the problem not the cards. Just use PayPal it will go through
-
9sOnly (@Blake5874) reported@SuperTiso @eBay @CardPurchaser My biggest worry would be issues with the payment going through. Definitely need to look more into it.
-
Josh (@jl8915) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay How in the hell is this still an issue?
-
Allen Cooper (@Al_Cooper7) reported@eBay @HollyTurbill It’s a waste of time Holly. It’s all just bots and automated responses when you have any issues with eBay.
-
Squid (@sydkg02) reported@TheLazyArtist67 @NovineLeaks I hope Ebay also does something too bc if this does get take down, he might go back there
-
Serena_Flores (@Serena_Flores23) reported@Rhi5S0S I never had a problem with depop. I can find alot of things for a affordable price. And i don't trust ebay because I had horrible experience with them. But its ur choice after all to sale that niall poster. If I was u I would hang it up on the wall in a guest room or office :)

Sam 🏳️🌈 🚉 🎸 (@flpcharthiatus) reportedI grew up buying and selling on eBay where there was always a level of good service even amongst non-business sellers so it always blows my mind when I use Vinted just how slow and useless sellers are
-
Michael Bushnell (@mlbushnell81) reported@IGN I got ahead of this issue last year. I bought an old Kindle Keyboard off Ebay and used it to rip my books to epub in Calibre. Kindle Keyboard is one of the few remaining Kindles that can connect to the Amazon store and uses the older version of Amazon's DRM, which is easily broken. My wife and I are going to move to Kobo readers so we can use DRM free books.

Griefcliff aka, grief "jackhammer" cliff (@griefcliff) reported@usrnamewastkn @fleshsimulator You're also paying way too much on AMZ, they claim one is left in stock, and I almost made an error and purchased it, before checking eBay. all copies of Mamas foot could be purchased and a cartel could potentially set it's price.

NOLLY (@omoelerinjare1) reportedA boy with unusually large feet (size 23) struggled to find shoes that fit. His only pair, a size 22 he found on eBay, was too tight, and his widowed mother—who battles recurring health issues—couldn’t afford the expensive custom shoes he needed. She created a GoFundMe campaign to help her son, and the story quickly went viral. Soon after, Entertainment Tonight reached out: an anonymous donor wanted to speak with her. It was Shaquille O’Neal. He FaceTimed the boy, then generously sent several boxes of his own personal clothing and shoes from his closet. The boy was overjoyed to finally have shoes that were much closer to his actual size plus the money he got from donations.
