eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported@TonyGoesOnline So this price coming down is strictly due to the VWAP period and subject to a per share price floor. So regardless the company has told you that the stock will be compressed within this period, when that goes away, we can steadily approach the 30 ceiling we have struggled to break, and subsequent advancement in pursuit of eBay should send the price higher.

Nowellstradamus (@nowellstradamus) reported@RobTheAlphV @Topps Laurence on Ebay for 10k Bjon on there at $2300 ( not a terrible price imo)
-
Stonkfather 🏴☠️ (@Stonkfather2021) reported@Dcrease13 Now let’s say we invest in a completely different sector and they have to artificially hold that down while keeping btc and eBay down Juggling a lot of hot potatoes

KyzoroX (@kyzoroXX) reported@Boomerangman8 Used server hardware marketplaces are your best bet. eBay is probably the easiest place to start.

Japan Football Shirts (@JLeagueShirts) reported@efjerseys Thx. LONG ago eBay closed my account for something that I was not actually advised of (not shirts at that time). Then apologised that they'd made an error but I needed to start my 2000+ listings again from scratch. Now, they let EVERYTHING go for their profits!
-
rick 🎢🎡🎟️ (@RickCooper02) reported@GilliverJamie Yes that’s the one, if you click bids you can see eBay keep removing fake bids so the price is constantly up and down it’s a mess
-
John Bumstead (@RDKLInc) reported@artur @DavidV_81 @eBay 99% is eBay auto-calculating. When you tell the sellers their shipping price, they have no idea and want to fix it, but how to fix it is absolutely unclear aside from setting it to a fix shipping rate.

🔪b3rn (@flower_bern) reportedThis eBay guy refunded my order and I get to keep a vintage cd player … I have a new DIY fix it project 😎

CrazyRuckusN64 (@CrazyRuckusN64) reported@OrdinaryGamers facts and even though nintendo took down 400 switch 1 emulator repositories more will be made since, its still easy to find launch model switches on ebay and some modchipped ones.
-
Jimjustretro (@jimjustretro) reported@3rdDwarf My only issue with eBay is that people think they shipping gold and like to over charge and as a seller eBay fees, vinted is amazing right now with no shipping and they don’t take a cut

Maya🦭🏳️⚧️ (@BurgerLesbian) reportedwent through all my **** and found 15 games ive never played that ive accumulated through the years. im a dumbass and might have a hoarding problem. a lot of them are from when i was a young teen but a few are fairly recent and thats really embarrassing. listing on eBay soon
-
Knicks Memes (@KnicksMemes) reported@CEOAdam Huge problem with that: What if somebody decides they want, say, seats G26 and G27 for a showing, but it's sold out. So they go create a fake ebay listing for those exact seats, so those seats get canceled and open up, even though the actual owner was NEVER trying to sell them?!
-
Oli Mortimer (@olimortimer) reported@eBay_UK In the meantime customers are asking why I haven't refunded them yet. "Sorry, it's not you, or me, it's the utter crap that is eBay". You would think for the amount of money we pay in fees, we would be able to use the site without constant errors.

HummingBird^2 (@Hummingbirdpt2) reportedi wish nothing but a slow death, despair, disease, and hate to EVERY ebay seller who sells something that they advertise FOR PARTS as used. the world would be billions of times better without you.

Amy Lesley 💚🤍💜 (@AmyLesley) reported@AnarchoDarling I've used eBay for years now, but their search function has become increasingly rubbish, I agree that FB marketplace has also go down hill
-
donna connell (@donnaconnell7) reported@VelcroFathoms @AnarchoDarling eBay will always take the buyers side, if there is a problem.

alexis ꕤ (@lexs_version) reported@soitgoeslexi tbh, this feels kind of sketchy to me. i feel like if a parent stepped in and provided an id, ebay would have no issues releasing the funds. I would be very hesitant to do this

🍌🦘🅼🅰🅶🅸🅲🅰🅻𝑀𝓎𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓎🍌⚾️🏈🏀 (@magmystical2023) reported@SelfMadeMastery Apple is now maxing out at 96GB of RAM. You can find 128GB Mac Studio on eBay for under $5000. It's a better investment and can load 70B models no problem. $1600 on a Mac Mini is not a bargain anymore. When it was $399 that was a different story.

Deneale (@Deneale) reported@eBay I wasn’t wearing my glasses….And I used the wrong credit card. How can I fix this?
-
Roadkill_Lurch (@Roadkill_Lurch) reportedeBay when selling: It was an issue on our end that caused the item not to ship to the right location, but ultimately we’re going to force a refund out of you to make the buyer happy. eBay when buying: Oh your item didn’t arrive? I mean geez sucks to be you I guess….

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reportedSomeone runs a full Linux server in his apartment with 8 Xeon cores, 16 GB of RAM, and gigabit fiber, and now this video shows he pays $18 in electricity for the same specs AWS charges $350 a month for. The exact configuration on the screen: Debian 13 (trixie), kernel 6.12, x86_64. Intel Xeon with AVX2, AVX-512, AMX, AES, and VT-x. 8 cores, 8 threads. 128 GB virtual disk on ext4, used 5.5 GB. 16 GB of RAM, 13 GB free. No GPU. Network tested at 977 Mbps down, 259 Mbps up. That is a machine that would cost $310/month on AWS as a c7i.2xlarge, plus $40/month for the bandwidth if he moves any real amount of data. Somewhere around $350 to $400 a month for the same setup, sitting in an Amazon data center. He built the same thing at home. The hardware cost is a used server on eBay for about $500, or a mini PC with a modern CPU for around $700. The internet was already paid because he was paying for it anyway. Electricity for a machine running 24 hours a day at that CPU class is roughly $15 to $20 per month depending on where you live. Payback on the hardware: less than 2 months at AWS-equivalent rates. What he runs on it: A KVM virtual machine that hosts a chat interface called MUSK. Probably a locally-hosted language model, probably something in the Qwen or Llama family that fits in 16 GB of RAM at reasonable quantization. Files, backups, personal *** server, and whatever else he does not want sitting in someone else's data center. The reason the pattern matters is that the case for the public cloud was never really "the servers are cheaper." The case was "someone else deals with the hardware, the power, the network, and the failover." That case is still true for a business at scale. It is not really true for a single person running a personal server for himself. I checked my own AWS bill from last year after watching the video. I was paying $126 a month for an EC2 instance that was doing personal projects, backups, and hosting one small side app. I moved it to a $600 mini PC that I now keep in the closet next to the router. Ten months in, the mini PC has paid for itself twice and I am not going back. The video is short. It shows the specs on the screen and shows the network test. It does not sell a course or a Discord. Someone built the setup. Someone else already did the math. I just had to stop paying the cloud rent.

Corbz (@Corbzor) reported@spaceshark23 @ImhotepOnAir I've seen a few on eBay go for about that at auction, buy now with shipping gies down to about 240.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedPrices drift. Stock desyncs. SKUs misalign daily between marketplaces — and most sellers discover it after margin has leaked. Built Mendmark to fix that. AI agents reconcile listings, prices and stock on Amazon, Shopify, eBay and Walmart. Every hour. Live soon.

William Heist (@heistypokerdlr) reported@mycardinv3ntory I've sold sealed a bunch on EBAY and never a problem.

Aces ⚔️ Eights⚖️🇺🇸 (@EMTP3764) reported@SheboggyBlues EBAY remains buyer beware and the fees and taxes have ruined the collector market. China counterfeits still a big problem

Robin (@travelingrobin) reported@AnarchoDarling @VelcroFathoms I’ve been selling pretty steady on EBay the last 5 years & never had an issue with scammers.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 196 Total sales: $374.99 eBay earnings: $180.35 Buy cost (COG): $37.40 Net profit: $142.95 ROI: 382% Not every day goes exactly as planned. Today included a cancellation on a higher dollar order before it shipped, but that's part of the business. The good news is I still have the inventory & can sell it again. The biggest takeaway after nearly 200 days is that consistency beats perfection. A canceled order doesn't erase the work you've put in. A slow day doesn't define your business. And one good day doesn't mean you can take your foot off the gas. The focus remains the same Keep listing. Refresh older inventory. Adjust stale pricing. Source quality products. Let the numbers compound over time. Every profitable day, even the imperfect ones, moves the business forward. On to Day 197. 📦💪

` (@grandesmonet) reportedOh brother…the cheapest signed petal CD on eBay is still $95…probably gonna have to wait til 2027 for that price to come down considerably lmao
-
Mark Cleg (@Mark_Cleg) reported@cynnoble They should make Rule of Rose cheaper as they found shipments of copies not that long ago and the prices came tumbling down for the game. It can be commonly found on eBay for okay-ish prices (depending on location), I guess they didn't get the memo.
