Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Josh Nichols (@hawkeye_anf) reported@joshuas430 @BosCardHunter I haven’t ever sold anything through eBay so I wouldn’t be knowledgeable enough to speak on it, on the buying end, I’ve been told about undisclosed flaws or problems which I don’t mind because I typically buy rare and unique items so I won’t find another. But it’s nice to know
-
Matt (@takesncards) reportedI’m anti-eBay authentication overall. Think it causes 10x issues than it resolves. But there are tons of heavily faked cards where buyers are helped by it being in place. Giving a workaround to a broad audience is very stupid as a big account
-
Billy Keller (@BeeryKerrer) reported@robofrobs @CardPurchaser And the service you get through @eBay is absolute TRASH if you have any issue with a COMC card. Can’t offer, return was a S show… I don’t recommend.

JRuffhouse (@ZaidKirdsey) reported@cakenygard I had to hunt this one down on eBay haha

hadik (@hadik1974) reported@BigAbe1863 @BostonGlobe @eBay What an ******* comment. Do you know what these people went through? Greed is the reason is country is going down the tubes.

Adam Shaw (@AdamShawBiz) reportedDangerous plug adapters. Consumer safety group Electrical Safety First (ESF) tested 14 products from AliExpress, Amazon Marketplace, eBay and TikTok Shop - and found they all failed to meet UK safety requirements. I previously investigated the long standing issue for ITV’s Tonight programme & part of the problem is a lack of High street electrical shops which you can trust to sell you genuine products

ameliia (@ameliia1900) reported@4nt1p4tt3rn there are committees in place that alter children's books to be PC, without Author's permissions. Richard Scary books. I had to track down the non-pc copy on ebay. children's books are now pc garbage. This is the worst time period for artists and freedom of expression

A͓̽s͓̽h͓̽l͓̽e͓̽y͓̽ (@arxonbby) reported@7207jpm Oh I'm only looking for used laptops and even those are astronomical now. I'm looking for a Surface Laptop 13.8" with some sort of Snapdragon processor and 16GB RAM and I used to see those on eBay with minor defects that I can fix for $500 or less. Now I can't find them under 700

wabiko (@wozuwabi) reported@knoyhead Bought hundreds of cards off ebay, only had an issue once where it was damaged and the seller refunded it to be dmg market value. Ebay does favour the buyer over the seller massively so you won’t have an issue, all orders have a money back guarantee from Ebay even if the seller says “no returns” Easy tells of fakes: they say in the description after long text, the card is dramatically under market value, seller has few items/sales, seller has same oic as other listing. Gl!
-
Card Curiosity (@Card_Curiosity) reported@bigbridealguy Bingo. Comp is 100 but true cost to a buyer on eBay is $115, yet seller needs to move it at $90 because cash? When I buy in person I have no problem paying the last comp, I’m getting the tax and shipping discount already.

Umar (@umzrs) reportedSince money twitter is back, it’s time to tell my story I started my online business journey at 15 as some of you know - only because I wanted to make money but legally wasn’t old enough to get a part time job in Canada Bought my first SMMA course for $700 and targeted realtors - eventually failed this After that I moved on to reselling fake designer clothes on eBay (lol) - made about $2-3k then my store got shut down Then I landed on a content agency for chiropractors - this one I actually had some success with and things were going well Then c*vid shut it all down, my clients didn’t need content anymore and they all fired me The first few months of c*vid was rough. I spent 10 hours a day playing video games, wasn’t focused on school or business and was pretty lazy Eventually my brother snapped me out of it and told me I was wasting my time. He was running some ecom stores at the time and was doing pretty well That’s when I decided to launch my next venture - an Email Marketing agency for ecom brands I went from gaming for 10 hours a day to outreaching to brands for 10 hours a day - sent 1,000s of personalized messages until I got my first $1k/month retainer after 3 weeks of grinding 4 months later I hit my first $10k month, a few months after that I hit a $30k month Then I did the dumbest thing possible - got caught up in the crypto hype and took almost all of my focus away from Email Marketing to chase memecoins A few months later I had lost a LOT of the money I had made, and my Email Marketing agency was back down to $4k/month since I hadn’t been focusing on my clients That was when I made a decision - I’m going all-in on Email Marketing Nothing else was going to distract me and I was going to become the best in the game at it I started putting 10 hour days back into my agency and it paid off big time In 2023 we were onboarding 10-15 brands per month, and more than that we were delivering great results for them too Around this time we hit 90 team members at Nest Marketing (now at about 60, leaner team but producing even better results) That same year I went on my first Umrah - helped me realize that there’s a lot more to life than just money and flexing In 2024 I trusted some wrong people. Good reminder to never share good news with people who don’t have the best intentions It wasn’t all bad though - I got engaged in 2024 then got married in 2025 to my wife. It came with a lot of responsibility and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me and made me mature a lot 2026 was the year of travelling (with intention) - went to Hong Kong, China, snowboarding trips, networking events - met a lot of people more successful than me who have inspired me and helped me to push forward Now Nest Marketing has a team of 60, we’ve worked with 250 brands and have generated $300 million in email/sms sales for our partners Super proud of what we’ve been able to achieve, and continue to work towards All this came from a 15 year old who wanted to make an extra $1-2k/month so I could go to the mall and get food with friends So grateful for everything. Alhamdullilah

Baker Mayfield Statue (@statue_baker) reported@BoCamaro @ItsJamesHall Some guy at the gas station tried to convince babseball cards are a great investment and he sold his truck and used the money to buy a **** ton of graded cards on Ebay. I just laughed at him. He couldn't even tell me Mark McGwire's rookie card year or what the Billy Ripkin error card had on it.

Renunciate (@renunciateIII) reportedI just closed my eBay account. I rarely used it but listed a couple of books for sale this morning. eBay decided one of my books was offensive and shut it down. So, I shut down the account. Go to hell with your censorship eBay. It wasn’t an offensive book, btw. If you’ve ever read it, it’s just a novel: “the Turner Diaries”.

Japan TCG Desk 🇯🇵 (@pokemonsamurai_) reportedThe pain points I hear from overseas Whatnot sellers: · Resellers on eBay have already marked up by the time they buy · Freight forwarders add cost and delay · They cannot read Japanese shop listings directly · They miss limited runs and campaign releases entirely These are Japan-side problems. They need a Japan-side solution.

Corey Dissin (@BigDaddyDissin) reportedThe Mack Daddy of all excuses: "I CAN'T AFFORD IT." "I can't afford it" is usually code for one of three things: 1) "I'm scared to invest the money I have unless I'm guaranteed a result." Spending money on information guarantees you a big bag of Jack Squat. The pay-MENT, no matter how much $ it is, does not create the pay-DAY. Consistently implementing the information you purchase over a sustained period of time allows you a fighting chance. The true ROI (RETURN ON INVESTMENT) is a product of your ROI (RATE OF IMPLEMENTATION). So while you waffle and kick the can down the road, you'd rather stare at that those numbers in your check book to feed your insecurity and your scarcity mindset ("What if things go wrong?") instead of putting that money to work for you by having a mindset of confidence and abundance ("What if things go right?"). 2) "I don't want to work extra to earn extra income." So, you're too good or too special to Door Dash or Uber? (I got news for you. . .When I wanted to generate additional revenue to fund my entrepreneurial ventures, I did everything from bounce at bars, to selling Christmas trees, to setting up inflatable moon-bounce rides, even while I was working 50-60 hours a week running a national production company). I guess Netflix, video games, doom scrolling and sleeping late are all higher priorities for you. 3) "I'm too lazy to utilize alternate ways to obtain financing." Uh, have we not heard of credit cards? Personal loans? Business lines of credit? Selling clothes or other gently-used items on Poshmark, Ebay, or Facebook Marketplace? Many WILDLY successful entrepreneurs funded their ventures with DEBT before they made it big because they believed that one day they WOULD make it back in spades. How bad do you REALLY want it? Bad enough to stop using the Mack Daddy of all excuses? Let's find out. Hit up to set up your complimentary DISS-covery call. #voiceover #voiceovers #voicetalent

-&C. Communiqué 🇺🇸 (@ClearCastComms) reported@jbezzie_jesse @PizzaPepe unless you run GrapheneOS. You might also be able to get an old Verizon hotspot and flash Ray Hunter to warn you of these collection methods..... you MAY be able to. I don't know. Definitely do not go on eBay. They sell a bunch of old hotspots for a few dollars. Terrible... terrible...
