    @paulhudson26 @larrywardgolf @MyGolfSpy I was fitted poorly recently at a large golf store and had to sell the clubs on eBay for 25% of the cost. On top of that, I still had to find clubs to fit my game and back issues. Lost $1,000 and spent another $1500

  • nicarch Nicola A (@nicarch) reported

    25th October - good day at work although colleague seemed to be coming down with something so lots of sneezing and sniveling from his side of the desk. Home to chores, eBay, mum taxi service, haircut and an early night 😴

  • Thetrut21067745 The truth (@Thetrut21067745) reported

    @eBay_UK this is ridiculous, I have never had any problems with ebay but now I can't pay for anything, and I always use ebay

  • Al_Hine 𝔸𝕝 ℍ𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@Al_Hine) reported

    @dougs_cars The DVLA issue them here -I'll get back to you on how they are made here - but it's very strict & the days of getting the local car parts dealer to make a house name sign in number plate style are long gone. ( Some eBay chancers make "show plates" for a tenner a plate)

  • AltruisticCtrl Altruistic Ctrl (@AltruisticCtrl) reported

    I have found if I buy a second hand CD on eBay or Amazon. It doesn't matter who it is, the CD never arrives... some odd glitch in the matrix.

  • Donut_1992 donut (@Donut_1992) reported

    @AskeBay @eBay there is a serious issue going on with scam accounts making offers on items. All of them show up as being a member since 2021. And the moment you decline their offer the account disappears.

  • Lucki_Green Brina (@Lucki_Green) reported

    @eBay @RickProbstein WHO EVER SELLS ON EBAY MAKE SURE TO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR MONEY! EBAYS TECH TEAM SUCKS!! THE TECH TEAM DOESN'T WANT TO ANSWER THE CALL WHEN YOUR AGENTS CALL THEM TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM! 2WKS& GOING😤😡

  • Foxo_Commando Foxo Commando (@Foxo_Commando) reported

    I can't believe the simple as **** joycon drift fix works so well, I just got a joycon off Ebay and I fixed the drift in like 10 minutes

  • Zoe_Pants alphabet (@Zoe_Pants) reported

    @charles57155330 Agree - I've taken chances on some ebay auctions in screw downs and not had problems, but it def lowered the auction price. There are a lot of variables but it can def damage the card, so there's more risk than a top loader or mag

  • LittleSlimers 👅💖👁Slimy Hearts Club🔞🔞🔞 (@LittleSlimers) reported

    @catstickersnft @AtomicHub Same. Nintendo would have less ebay seller issues but yknow they will not do it :,3

  • DustinKirkland 𝔻𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕟 𝕂𝕚𝕣𝕜𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕕 (@DustinKirkland) reported

    Geez, @ebay has a serious problem with fraudulent sellers. The worst part, is that it's impossible to speak with a support representative about it, until 3 business days have elapsed since reporting the problem. You can get a human from @amazon to help in like 30 seconds.

  • rzrz_a َإَآلُشُۈيَلُ۶يَ #ايكلاود (@rzrz_a) reported

    @snapchatsupport Hello, I bought a used Apple phone from eBay, but I cannot use the Snapchat app because it gives me a ban when logging in, how can we solve this problem, knowing that I contacted the seller and he did not respond to me

  • Americrat4me Americrat (@Americrat4me) reported

    @AskeBay @Thenamesjan I was told Sunday it is an eBay problem related to changes in processing purchases with PayPal. They indicate that many customers are experiencing this but seem to have no idea what exactly is causing it or how to fix.

  • Brooklyncat11 Jr (@Brooklyncat11) reported

    @therealtblake Keep providing proof with every email update. I had similar issue but with expensive shoes. Try to Give as much details as possible. Eventually eBay will eat the cost and refund you. That’s what happened to me. Good luck bro

  • JS_Bits_Bill JS Bits with Bill (@JS_Bits_Bill) reported

    What websites do you find unacceptable slow in 2021? For me it's Glassdoor and eBay.

  • 463doubleplay2 4-6-3 double play (@463doubleplay2) reported

    @builder_set I had a simile issue, someone charging $5 to ship a single $1 card. I requested they switch the eBay card shipping service, but they refused.

  • zuramaru_dani ***** Dan (KATS Girlboss) (@zuramaru_dani) reported

    @SivrSSB Lol cuz ur saying **** pro controller users The switch I bought off of ebay also has a ton of issues while docked, controllers dont respond correctly. it might be ur switch and not the dock.

  • JS_Bits_Bill JS Bits with Bill (@JS_Bits_Bill) reported

    What websites do you find unacceptably slow in 2021? For me it's Glassdoor and eBay.

  • bunniesplaymc 👻Valina👻 (coms open!) (@bunniesplaymc) reported

    Tbh I'm happy I'm not working at Spirit Halloween this year, the same people who bought all of the astronaut helmets are gonna be the same people who buy all of the green tracksuits and selling them overpriced on ebay. No hate towards the show, just ******* people

  • Lauuatthedisco Lauren (@Lauuatthedisco) reported

    Anyone know how to report a scam on eBay? I ordered a costume for the weekend, it’s been delivered to somewhere in London instead, clicked on the sellers eBay account and they have taken down listings for the item they were selling.

  • freewayflippers Liz & Casey (@freewayflippers) reported

    Anyone else having issues buying USPS labels on eBay?

  • beaubeescards beaubeescards (@beaubeescards) reported

    I just marked down hundreds of cards in my @eBay store to only .99 BIN. Shipping will combine so that you pay no more than $3.95 no matter how many you buy. Help me move some of this stuff!!! #sportscards #baseballcards
