Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jack “Slim” Prescott (@SlimJackPrescot) reported@PaulyOdonnie eBay Scotty or Bettinardi. You can't go wrong with those. Worst case you cut the shaft down or just get it reshafted and have the lie angle adjusted should you need that. All in probably paying around 300 bucks for a great milled putte.r

Boone Dog (@Boonedog92) reported@LauraQueFala @mikasagrada Look on ebay, I just bought one for my son. It has no bluetooth or internet. Other than what you upload to it, the only other thing it can access is the radio. Instead of having his head down in the car with a nintendo, he listens to music and looks out the window.

boston raiders (@bostonvikinguc) reported@Joferjeff @ryancohen can fix this if gme can take it over. I’ve had terrible luck with eBay.

DarkHollow (@DarkHollowArt) reportedMy drawing tablet is out for repair but the guy is making me very nervous. Last time I talked to him on the phone he was poking around the inside and trying to get me to buy another off ebay to swap parts around instead of doing the *known* permanent repair to my issue that I am asking to be done..

⭐✨TRUTH SEEKER✨⭐ (@WenBeck5) reportedUh Oh! 👇 EBAY TROUBLE?!
-
SquatchXXL (@Squatch_XXL) reportedThere are essential things. Yes they cost money. When I needed a computer, I bought some piece of **** from Ebay for $250. It took me almost a month to nail something like that down. I refused to spend more to surf the web and game.

blu (@MaromaSamsa) reported@puuhs I usually buy my playmat, deck sleeves, and case set off of eBay. Never had an issue with any sellers.

Jenny Jen Jennifer VCR Queen (@vcrqueenjen) reportedI'm not even kidding this pretty much sums up my life & how things tend to go for whatever god forsaken reason. Listed the records below & sold them for $300 quickly after listing them. Not even 10 minutes after selling them, I open ebay to check on things and I'm suddenly $217 in the hole because of a shipping issue. I don't know what I did in my previous life but **** like this happens way too often for me to believe that I didn't do something absolutely wretched to deserve this karma.

Bachilles (@Bachillez) reported@JohnNumbers I also just suggest with very valuable items to find someone you can sell to privately or someone you can trust, eBay and PayPal always has the potential for issues for sellers if you sell to the wrong person
-
Anti-porn (@antipornganggg) reported@phresh_arrow My issue is I never got started. I luckily have an eBay account I can list 5 million dollars on. Only thing I did right
-
🐐GODZILLA🐐 (@Goatzilla261) reported@Thenew_guyy9 @Jhay_Cliff Eno shedda dey down like that you can an eBay certified refurbished for very low and reasonable price
-
Julius Oliveti (@juliusoliveti) reported@ValueAddedRS @ryancohen This is probably due to consolidated data, where it appears the more successful you are the more eBay places your advert in low intent searches you have no control over and your ROAS goes down. Linked to phrase and broad match KWs mainly but exact also works like phrase on eBay

Julie Wade (@julie_wade) reported@foxenflask Iannone’s moves are textbook corporate extraction. The 10b5-1 plan provides legal cover to sell into liquidity, while the GRAT rollover ensures estate tax efficiency and asset insulation. He is treating his eBay equity as a compensation vehicle to be harvested and protected. The unresolved litigation exposure is treated as a corporate problem, not a personal one, further severing his financial fate from the company's ultimate tail risks. Contrast this with Cohen’s approach with GameStop, which represents total alignment. By refusing salary and stock options, his only mechanism for wealth generation is the actual expansion of the underlying equity value — exactly the same as any retail shareholder. He does not use complex trusts to shield his shares from corporate performance; he buys direct equity with his own cash. Where Iannone is actively transferring risk away from himself while the company faces litigation, Cohen has systematically centralized risk onto himself to engineer GameStop's turnaround. Iannone is defending his payout; Cohen is defending the treasury.

Chalala🐾🇺🇸 (@AZhalala) reported@Joferjeff Wow. You won! Good for you! I don't think I would wanna be a seller on eBay. Too many people trying to scam. Apparently, this is a new eBay scam. You send the item, the purchaser tells you they received the item broken. You ask for a picture and they send you a picture of the broken item. In fact, it's not broken. The crack or break was added via Al. Instead of giving a refund and letting the purchaser keep the item, ask for the item back.

Killswitch キルスイッチ (iamkillswitch.bsky.social) (@IamKillswitch) reported@eBay That was the problem. Continuously getting a stupid automated service that didn't help and when I finally got an agent they talked like an AI too. Still not sure they were real. Go back to human interaction.
-
The Barbiter (@The_Barbiter1) reportedSpeaking purely morally, disregarding the rules from ebay that you can't sell modded consoles—WHY DOES IT MATTER? The 3ds is officially a dead console. Nintendo doesn't offer replacement parts anymore, the eshop is dead, and all of the online features ARE SHUT DOWN
-
RC (@ResellCalendar) reported@stvntweets94 If anything prices are being held down because of the discord (we are resellers undercutting eachother on ebay).
-
Foundational White Janissary (@White_Janissary) reportedPeople today underestimate how revolutionary eBay Motors was to the second-hand car market. Sure you could buy an 84 Oldsmobile Ciera for $500 in 2002, but could you find parts for it if it broke? Even if you knew how to fix it, often you still had to go to a mechanic for parts.
-
Brandon H (@BrandonHuston15) reported@ItsBitcoinBruh @greenstoslopes Not anymore. New policies. If they send an offer or a bid on a card, it’s now binding. You’re no longer obligated to accept their cancellation. Especially a card over $250 that goes to the authenticator. Once it’s authenticated, you’re covered. eBay is cracking down on all the shill bidding and sending offers just to see what price you’ll accept or how high the auction will go.

Mike DeGilio (@MikeDeGilio) reportedFollowing up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

Shannon Jean (@ShannonJean) reportedYou can make $ millions using eBay. And you don't have to sell anything on eBay. One of eBay's game-changing aspects is the data it makes available at no cost. Put on your headlamp and let's drill down to learn about making money with eBay Data. Let’s start with using eBay data as a buying tool. eBay provides three years of data for public search records on their website. Use this data to educate yourself and to help you make data-driven decisions. eBay Research shows you how much you can pay for a product for resale, how to increase your average sale prices, and what best practices help sell products the fastest. One key metric you will find: Average prices a product has SOLD for – this is not the current price that sellers are advertising products at; instead, it is what the product sold for – a much more valuable piece of information. Data point two: The velocity of sales – the quantity of a particular product sold within a given period. Learn how fast you can expect to sell your product(s) if you list them at the average sale prices. Up next, how product condition impacts sale prices Match the product condition with the condition of what you are considering selling. If your product is New without tags or pre-owned, it will have a different resale price than New with tags. Who are you competing with? Who is selling the same products you are considering selling? How successful are they? What best practices can you glean from their listings? Speaking of Best Practices: Best Practices – find the highest-selling listings and use those same tactics to create your listings. Identify the techniques used, photo types and quantity, listing details, titles, keywords, policies– anything that you can use to help your listings get the same results. This data will help you sell products on any marketplace or directly to your customers. Don't sleep on using the free eBay Research tools to figure out what to sell, what prices to pay, and what best practices to use to succeed. If you found this post useful, give me a follow @ShannonJean - I share unconventional methods to create businesses and wealth daily on 𝕏. Cheers to your success!

MHComicsInvictus 🇺🇸🚾🏴☠️ (@ComicsInvictus) reportedMy Number Two Guy Nothing too fancy here. Normal, reliable eBay experience. If you live in the Midwest you’ll benefit from faster shipping. Updates inventory daily. Combined shipping at checkout. Very very rarely makes errors. I always check this storefront to price compare.

𝙆𝙔𝙇𝙀 𝙈𝘼𝙉𝙎𝘽𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙂𝙀 (@KyleMansbridge) reportedI believe international messaging is down or playing up on eBay… I was due to receive messages off of a regular client and I’ve heard nothing. Now today another customer has messaged me completely oblivious to the fact that I sent them a message and I’ve replied to them immediately with a question and nothing back in return…

Cash is Trash (@kfederline76) reported@GunHeritage People like this on eBay, Facebook marketplace, and gun broker. ridiculous prices. can buy a brand new for like $10 more. If I’m gonna buy your used crap that has no warranty, could be broken, and I can be armed robbed picking it up. I’m gonna expect at least a 50% discount.

Cec Podd (@CecPodd) reported@Joferjeff I had similar issue and eBay fined me! I told them to close my 25 year old account immediately. They refunded me.

Trevor Fraley (@illustrevor) reportedVery frustrating that I only need a new cable for my cintiq but they don't make it anymore and on ebay its $120 but i could just get a whole used cintiq for $150 and I'm not even sure if it IS the cable that is the problem.
