Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Guy (@GFilwett) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay They need to put slab bags over these, problem solved
-
Scott Paterno, Shabbos Goy (@ScottPaterno) reportedFor a hat guy - and I have a couple hundred all told - the Masters hat in the same green as the jacket is a near holy grail. They don’t sell it, and if it shows up on eBay they run that thing down and you never get invited back.
-
James (@UDJW79) reported@WeebyRevy My old OG XBox and PS2 had their lasers break. At that point, I sold them for dirt cheap. I imagine these conversions are often-times broken units bought for pennies on the dollar from EBay.
-
Robert LeRoy Parker (@RobertLeRoyPar6) reported@ToobEwe45597 @ATRightMovies Actually have this issue. Bought it on Ebay.
-
Rokness (@Rokness1) reportedEBay needs to fix this, I’ve reported the seller as well an EBay seems to protect the scammer of a seller even when all proof has been provided.
-
Darwin E. Gutierrez (@00010110DG) reported@PokemonDealsTCG Error 17, but no worries cases of ETBs being sold on eBay already
-
Grok (@grok) reported@sanatani_sonu21 @RealTofanOjha This is a portable electric pipe cutting & beveling machine (for metal pipes like 304 stainless steel, ~57mm dia). It clamps on, rotates, and preps broken/ends for fast welding joins—no heat, super precise in seconds. Buy similar on Amazon/eBay/Alibaba: search "portable pipe beveling machine 2 inch" or "electric pipe cutter 57mm" (₹15k-40k range). In India, check IndiaMART for local stock.
-
Chris Goldie (@Omega_Prism) reported@eBay Part 2: This lack of transparency is unacceptable. I’m willing to comply with any policy, but I can’t fix something when no one will tell me what went wrong. The process has been frustrating, inconsistent, and honestly unfair. I’m asking for a clear explanation.

John T (@John48231) reported@MeaCulpaaa What type of battery is it? I have 3 Yamaha Ebikes and they all work great. I did have a problem with one battery failing after a year but it was replaced under warranty. I also bought a used battery on Ebay for £100 which works great, there are some bargains out there.

PokeRetroFan (@Zant3tsuk3n1983) reported@Famos21 @HeyAaronW @CardPurchaser You're a part of the problem. I'm happy eBay is doing this

Bart Spencer (@Spencer4npr) reported@ClownWorld Oh hell no- that is not my front door- and I refuse to see my package treated like that! You better fix that Jeff, or eBay is getting a bump in business again.

Unbiased American 🇺🇸 Ŧ Ŧ (@UnBiased_Merica) reported@8thWonderCards Damn that’s a sweet collection. If you have any issues with sales of them hmu. I don’t have an eBay but would be heavily interested
-
Tyler Rhoney (@Sw0lleyMammoth) reported@thehaileemurphy Hi! You can buy codes on EBay at the start of every season for $20. TMobile users get it free and sell the codes - I’ve done this for 5 years now and haven’t had a problem. Great way to save money in the future :)
-
Friedrich von Schwaben (@Schwaben_von) reported@ehelpmann I had about 40 buys on ebay until 2022 and now 13 sells in the last months. Not one problem, I am able to check the Silver. I surely only buy from accounts which have good reviews and a history. Thanks for the tip but I am not interested in buying physical in the moment. I sold 25% of my Silver and got all the money back I have ever invested and still have 75% (1258oz) of the metal. I will not sell anymore. Additional Silver I would buy via ETFs.

Bill Sphan (@Bill_sphan) reported@otokyo__ Selling on EBAY with a broken leg.
-
FearNoDiesel 🇺🇸 (@AKdieselman) reported@washghost1 I have a 95 Bronco I am restoring. I have really been thinking of throwing down and buying one of these head units from eBay.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

Royals_Cards (@Royals_Cards) reported@den_jvs Having bought cards on ebay for over 25 years now. The amount of time it takes to get a resolution from most sellers isn't worth the effort. Upload 4-5 pictures, back and forth with a seller, repackaging and shipping, 2-5 days shipping delay, 2-3 days for a refund. Assuming they even take it back for a category that has no refunds. Assuming you don't have to have ebay step in and make a ruling adding 10-30 business days. I already went through the effort of sourcing the card. Looking through pictures, checking descriptions for notated issues, checking recent feedback. A refund at this point isn't worth the effort. Leaving correct feedback with pictures to let future buyers know what they can expect. That's the whole point of feedback. I don't buy from people with under 98% feedback as it is. Fake feedback inflation is a thing. I'm not taking a "partial refund" to change my review. There's no scenario a seller "makes it right" by me changing my review. There's no consequence otherwise of the seller continuing to sell damaged cards as NM and no way for anyone else to know what the seller is doing. Ebay listing is near dummy proof. You have to actively select what the condition is. If you're a lazy seller and are "too busy" to look at the condition of your card, it's not a mistake you marked it NM, it's negligence. Mark all your cards as excellent or very good then, problem solved. I kicked 25% of the cards I bought off ebay out of grading. I left negative feedback on 5% of those as they were egregiously damaged. The other 20% were near mint with accurate pictures, just not clean enough for my preferences on what I send in. I left them positive feedback. Sellers earn their reviews both positive and negative.
-
Chuy Baca (@chuybaca) reported@GMC_Capital @eBay @CardPurchaser Since ebay is connected with PSA, and probably other grading companies, they should force sellers to upload/scan the unique code on the graded cards to prevent the same card from being reused. Would be a sime fix
-
thenandnowcollectors (@ADDICTIVE_CB) reported@garyvee I started my live shopping EBay is going good but could be better But im having trouble with my socials @garyvee I feel overwhelmed. It’s hard keeping up! How can I fix this
-
Nicholas Holcomb (@NickHolcomb) reported@AMHE613 @nickthegingy @CardPurchaser it would not get past ebay if that was an issue with the card.
-
jefe (@eljefe5411) reported@Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch
-
David Peck (@dpeck100) reported@cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.
