Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Kevin Holland (@ou1989klh) reported@WaxMetrix I sent two cards sold on eBay to PSA auth by accident. eBay says it’s a PSA issue, PSA says it’s an eBay issue. Neither have been located or returned. eBay’s partnership with PSA for authentication is 100% *****.

dj dixon (@MGCINC) reported@ryancohen / eBay Acquisition Update (July 2026) GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is still all-in on acquiring eBay. • May: Unsolicited $56B bid ($125/share, 50% cash + 50% stock). eBay board rejected it as “neither credible nor attractive.” • Late June: Cohen scrapped his own proposed $35B+ performance pay package so leadership stays 100% focused on GameStop ops + the eBay deal. • Early July: Fresh interviews (including full RALLI ROOTS sit-down) where he doubles down on the vision — turn eBay into a real Amazon competitor using GME’s 1,600 stores for fulfillment, authentication & more. “ half cash half stock” #gme

WCPW® (@Official_WCPW) reported@CardboardPicker They listed this "prototype" and it "sold" for $501. They listed it again and it "sold" for $300. They listed it a 3rd time, I called them out on it, they yanked down the listing once I exposed them. Ebay no longer allows winning bids to get out of paying. They got busted.

Stewart (@_stewartwaddell) reported@TacticalTram @eBay So I’ve managed to fix it. Deleted app and downloaded the new version, installed logged in and now all fine

BigWerms LLC - Tim (@bigwerms) reported@Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay ESE claims can be filed by the seller. Never had an issue getting money back on these scenarios.

Wade (@TechDaily) reported@C37484Olibher That’s just eBay. Something that helps is never answering questions or messages, never selling to question-askers, and never accepting offers via messages. My blocked buyers list is 500+. “Does this work with xxx” or “why are you selling” or “$xx right now” are problem buyers.

ShadowBat 🇱🇧 (@mediafanatic25) reportedAll of you keep trying to put me down and make me feel bad and insignificant for my collection size, and keep trying to press me to say I have more digital than physical. You mfs will not gaslight me into thinking I’m not a physical fan when I have way more of discs than digital titles and I will keep buying discs as much as I can overtime, I’m always on the lookout for sales from brick and mortar retail or Amazon or eBay or marketplace, I’m never gonna stop owning more discs even after 2028 so **** all of you abusive mfs once again 🖕

THE Colorado Kid (@el_kanon_breaks) reported@Jordan97613380 My experience has been different. Heres how 90% of my negotiationg go (3k+ ebay sales btw)... Card listed at 50, guy offers 43. I come down to 47. Guy comes up to 43.5. I come down to 45. Guy comes up to 44. I respond with 45 again. Guy declines and X calls me the idiot.

Betty Egg (@betty_egg) reported@jeebuscrisis @OlexGameDev I mean, this is like some kind of hypothetical - this notion that technically your digital purchases could in theory be confiscated, when reality is these companies would obviously go out of business if they were doing this at scale. I have never experienced this, however, having not experienced this I also realize the world isn't perfect - who knows what might happen down the line, but in a general sense I'm feeling pretty good about the overall availability of both new AND old games. I played 'Punch Out' for the first time a couple years ago, thanks to Nintendo Online. I would have never had the opportunity to have this experience without buying a used retro NES, and finding a copy on Ebay (which probably costs a lot of money)..

kakuu (@kakuu2023) reported@AskeBay @ebay I need help with a serious issue. A refunded order was later delivered with the same tracking number, but it contained a completely different item. The automated assistant cannot resolve this. Could you please advise how I can contact a human agent by message

Jennifer (@Jenocidal) reported@Larnu_UK I just going to preface this with **** is legal here. Now I’ll look down. Why didn’t I think to look down for the eBay source code…:p So, I’m going off this post and others similar. Hope you get one of the reservations people are cancelling!

Maxx Feral (@MaxxFeral) reported@PeterB585337060 @Rainmaker1973 Yeah - but we got people interested in "Retro Tech" nowadays. Frankly a good % of flat screens can be repaired if no visible damage (cat knocked it over, broken screen) pretty cheaply and FAR less dangerously...still ONLY a pro should. But everyone just buys new. CRT's are more likely to knock you across the room and/or burn off a tiny hunk of flesh than kill you. But some people have weak hearts and it's at the edge of the voltage/types that can cause a heart attack. I don't want authorities going around trying to destroy them if some person does a stupid... CRT's are getting a market back but most/all the places to make new ones have been shut down. Usually, they CAN be repaired a few times to working before dying. Not going to list the signs/solutions here I'd type a book. Again better to try to recycle them to a pro or if into Retro stuff oneself pay to have a legit tech look at it. The last models were giant ones, 32 inch and higher, total dream for kids who had N64s and Dreamcasts to play with. Worth a few $ for a diagnostic then repair if feasible. AND if they find a pile in an estate sale or something, check they are working, might make decent $ on Ebay and make some people happy. Myself I like playing ATARI on a GIANT Flatscreen TV. My Aunt had a projection screen and warned me and other relatives NOT to put the Atari into it - said it'd wreck it and we'd have to mow her lawn and do YEARS of chores to make up for it... And we respected her so we never tried it. Now a flatscreen BIGGER than her $8K setup (NOT adjusted for inflation) is not $400 in my rural big box stores during Black Friday/Christmas... And yes I play ANCIENT games on it! And newer ones. There's some suck like I did play with lightgun games but... But otherwise I do NOT idolize the past though I have fond memories of it. ----Again TL/DR... 1 - let a PRO with experience and the burns/scars to prove it risk his A$$ on it and be PAID for it. 2 - You can FIX most CRTs a few times 3 - I hope there's a retro market like how people purchase NEW LPs (plastic sound music discs) and get NEW music made in LP, Cassette, Mini-Disc format for the niche... Not a "Full return" but a solid mini niche.

HoboJ (@HoboJ_) reported@CardsMidnights @CardPurchaser I started selling cards on eBay. Haven't had any major problems yet. eBay requires the buyer to send the funds to them before you ship. When you ship you can select the shipping service (with money protection) if it gets damaged, lost, etc during transit.

🏁ZakSpeedHouse 🏎️ (@ZakSpeedHouse24) reportedThis is the problem with trying to buy NASCAR **** on eBay now in 2026. Buddy posted this **** for $300, I went to my local nascar hobby shop owned by a cool *** old head and mind you his shop is the only NASCAR shop in the Philly area and no other nascar shops for 250 miles who sold me the same thing for $85, HMS 300 win sticker and all. He also has a huge selection of Kyle Bush 1/24’s for the same price as well.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEvery repricing tool screams every time a competitor blinks. That's not intelligence — it's noise. Built Stance to fix that. It watches your competitors 24/7 across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Google Shopping, adjusts your prices automatically, and speaks only when it matters:
