Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
sellmyphone (@sellmyphone_) reportedeBay takes 12.8% final value fee on the full transaction — sale price AND postage. Add payment processing at 2.9% + 30p. Then a promoted listing (because without it your phone is on page 8). You're already down £45–£52 on a £250 phone before you've bought a stamp.

Crusader's Symphony (@CrusadeSymphony) reported@Wall_of_History @doctorbionicle It’s not all of them, but I know there’s a good chunk that buy and resell as partial “income.” Most don’t report this on taxes because Ebay and Marketplace aren’t heavily monitored by the IRS as reselling personal items isn’t technically a taxable thing It’s never enough money to be full time, so the rest of that money has to be coming from somewhere. I understand it’s a regional issue too, where I am it’s certainly the case. I go to my local game/comic stores and most of the people there are not keeping jobs. They’re on government social programs and they’re grossly overweight. Think the Chris Chan types but less degenerate to paint a picture. Take Pokémon cards for example. The recent videos with Target show a lot of people who aren’t local from the US. That’s immigrants (male men who are here for work but not to raise families) taking advantage of our system to make tax free income. When you watch them you don’t see English speaking Americans so we can safely assume this is being used for fraud Now the ones that are scalping legally are more likely to have bots sniping and register it as a business. The ones in stores are getting free money from abused social programs most likely because the cost of going from place to place is not going to be profitable otherwise. I’ve done some basic observation and research on this to an extent.

shellfoss (@ShelleyFos4906) reported@RaminNasibov I don’t think I’ve ever had my issue solved by AI or human when I’m trying to get answers on Amazon or eBay. I do find, however that I’m extremely polite with saying thank you, etc, even when I know it’s AI. It’s very weird , I know. Am I the only one lol

Sorry T. Offend (@SorryToOffend87) reported@GhostRekal @sneedweb What customer service? This is a retarded take. eBay has terrible customer service.

Aaron Coates (@aaroncoates) reported@ValueAddedRS @ryancohen Don’t worry. If eBay doesn’t sell, Cohen will build the competitor that takes them down. He’s getting free exposure making his case for why eBay should fail. Users and staff are listening. The best ones will stay if eBay sells. They will leave for what Cohen builds if not. Last time he built an online platform, he needed human coders. And still beat Amazon. He’s already got the plan. But he’s honorable enough to give eBay a chance to save themselves and their shareholders.

Connor (Don’t Even Trip Dawg Fan 2007) (@PissJamess) reported@E2forLife2lkpr Love Dawg with all my heart but I’m not working 6 days a week to put my faith into eBay

ray (@ray04144) reported@DanNJ71 My initial thiught, especially after they weren't used all day, is that they are sitting on them waiting for the Gamestop/ebay news to drop and then a squeeze happens. These will bring the stock back down after it blows up.

Thermodyne (@Thermodyne66036) reported@Bubblebathgirl No issue with this. The same federal rules would apply as when shipping them with UPS. And it’s going to pay better per shipment than eBay packages.
-
Carla Rogers (@carla_rogers_) reported@eBay @UPS Your customer service cannot be reached for this kind of problem. No help whatsoever.

Wiz888999 (@ODB123) reportedGameStop really walked into Wall Street’s country club with muddy boots 😭 25,000 eBay shares owned outright. Derivative exposure tied to 23,176,000 shares expiring Feb 2028. Pre-HSR = economic exposure. Post-HSR = cash or share settlement. Read slow. One version is price exposure. Other version can become an inventory problem if counterparties need to locate stock 👀 $125 per share hostile bid. ~$55.5B total offer. 50% cash. 50% GME equity. ~$9.4B liquid firepower. Up to $20B financing support. Folks called RC crazy. Wall Street calls identical behavior “sophisticated capital strategy” once a billionaire in loafers does it 💀

@victoriamary (@Victoriamary) reportedI’m just checking in to say that I have made contact with a human being at @eBay thanks to the help of @pdemp12! It took over an hour to convince the bot to let me speak to an agent and I found myself nearly losing my mind but I finally was able to tell them that the parcel never arrived. They said it’s outside of the EBay window so they can’t do a refund but they will report the seller. I guess that is a start?!!! The seller doesn’t have an address or phone number or even an email address listed on their EBay shop so it’s going to be hard to track them down but I think I will try! They have 100% positive feedback on EBay which is interesting! If anyone is in Australia 🇦🇺 please tell me if you have bought anything from them?

Nanabozho (@SaltyRiverWater) reportedNo longer selling on @ebay. Until that platform addresses these issues I'll stick with other marketplaces.

La La The Clown (@LaLaTheClownTV) reported@eBay EBAY, Get in touch with me. I have a Seller that has Broken Policy's, and Your Phone agents are useless.

whatever (@macncheetos) reported@GregIsKitty @michaeljburry Yes the gme financial results speak for themselves. Gme stock down over 50% while diluting $12b. Ebay stock up nearly 100% while buying back nearly $14b. Ebay shareholders are desperate to have RC on their team
