  • lgnrb Logan Robertson (@lgnrb) reported

    @worksofgenius As a woodworking project I want to make a little base for some. Maybe I’ll get a few of the burn down the house kind on eBay or Etsy.

  • almadangems Asad (@almadangems) reported

    @IpAgBZ2iKQ0Qs2Y I have some problems in my Etsy account but I am still working on eBay and direct payment

  • BarefootAthlete Joe Kelly (@BarefootAthlete) reported

    @parcelforce So I managed to sort it myself but have just opened the package and one if the fixings is broken - it’s a car part I brought from eBay and the images on the sellers website show the fixing as fine, and the broken part is in the package, so it clearly happened in transit….

  • PumaBare 🏳️‍🌈PumaBare🏳️‍🌈 (@PumaBare) reported

    @NoahPaulLeGies They are expensive, I got mine from ebay, an unwanted gift the seller claimed, it's in good condition but it's spatial awareness is a little off, it sometimes has problems lining up to get on his charging station, fortunately he gives it a number of tries and nearly always solves

  • Bridges_1980 James Bridges (@Bridges_1980) reported

    @eBay amazing you offer the authenticity service. But when a buyers raises an issue saying it’s fake when not you rule in their favour! Just brilliant. Then Email to say you’ll refund me then don’t. #ebaydonothing4sellers #CustomerService

  • forgiebot Forgiebot (@forgiebot) reported

    Based on that, your ride gonna fekking murder him for a union jack the ebay seller has the one who am to exploit child of thistle-down upon its less body for our home x3 Guess I'll give Twitter answers

  • bemuahoney1 Bella ♡ (@bemuahoney1) reported

    @RealBShep @eBay Wow thats absolutely terrible, so sorry to hear that. Obviously they dont care about the people that make them money. Thats the best part they act as if we arent the reason as to why they even have some money.. its a dual relationship but they obviously cant be trusted .

  • rob_bristow_CA Robin Bristow 🇨🇦🐶🐶🇮🇸🇿🇦 (@rob_bristow_CA) reported

    @LJMW169 @SuZheQ Depends on ebay part of BC. This is a huge province. Housing prices in Vancouver will shock you. I live in the Okanagan Valley (Vernon) and love it here. Small town of about 45K but 35 minutes away from Kelowna so no shopping issues. YLW is one stop from anywhere in the world.

  • mihu0307 みふみふ ⚜ Rui pls come home ⚜ (@mihu0307) reported

    @HoraDePijadas You might want to look into Mercari Japan instead. You’re going to need special proxies to be able to buy stuff off Mercari…I don’t use EBay much so I don’t know how to compare but I guess it’s similar? Mercari is kinda safe, I haven’t had any issues with it so far

  • probnobody ProbNobody (@probnobody) reported

    @eBay Though they will still let me buy things from them and send notifications. Just be aware of the terrible customer service and handling of situations that are easily avoidable with a simple email or phone call.

  • Erenaibiyu219 艾-Allison (@Erenaibiyu219) reported

    @space_left But I don’t think running out would be a problem, there will always have stuff on eBay lol

  • SkullSkulltwt Patrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SkullSkulltwt) reported

    @GoranGligovic I'm curious what would have happened had she claimed the ebay listing was false or made up. It's not like Clapton would be able to prove the CD contained his music without her admitting it, worst she might have gotten was her account taken down.

  • CAIrishIslander Michelle Crews (@CAIrishIslander) reported

    Want to sell @ebay? No problem! Want to get paid for what you sell? Good luck. @ebay suucckkssss.

  • devinleshin Devin "Sturgis" Leshin (@devinleshin) reported

    @_hellochrissy “That article is clickbait-y. Going through the German tabloid articles this is based on, it sounds like Clapton's team sent a cease & desist and/or injunction, causing the ebay listing to be taken down. Rather than shutting down, the woman then sued and lost.”

  • RiffmanDale John Dale 💙🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@RiffmanDale) reported

    @LemSip27 “Any official exemption you have from your doctor will be automatically included in your covid pass, self-diagnosed exemptions and badges purchased on ebay will not”. Problem solved👍.

  • squatch_crypto ⬡𝙎𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝⬡ (@squatch_crypto) reported

    @inversebrah must be down bad to not be able to afford an ebay model

  • eBayToHouse DRG (@eBayToHouse) reported

    @ValueAddedRS I've had multiple eBay ad fees come in 2 days after the sale this week. You hear about anyone else having this issue? #eBay

  • geex214 Gee - certified maggot🗡🕷🦇🕸 (@geex214) reported

    @CrnhskerCambion @Loudwire I’m pretty sure he didn’t sue, his agency did, still sucks, but it’s not directly him, I’m sure Eric didn’t sit down in front of his tenth gen computer going through eBay to see who he’s gonna sue this fine evening

  • AlanaFaith_NI Alana Faith (@AlanaFaith_NI) reported

    @WeeLassDi Well I made an equally, possibly worse, fatal error.... I ordered off ebay lol... it probably won't even look like it did in the picture 😩 I hate shopping in town I always buy online, but this can be to my own peril lol

  • DrBaldo Jason Hughes (@DrBaldo) reported

    Is the eBay definition of "mint" these days just meaning "not broken"?

  • clever_katy CleverKat (@clever_katy) reported

    @merlisa @EricClapton No, You're wrong. You can take things down on eBay, I do it all the time on behalf of an artist. Only a bitter, angry horrible person would sue a widow over a 10 pound eBay sale.

  • _Monkey_Wisdom Atlas (@_Monkey_Wisdom) reported

    @CP4573t5i543 @RealRossU By your logic. All online platforms that sells goods. From Amazon,Etsy. eBay, and even Facebook. Also he got in trouble cause he does what banks do… he was also framed by the fbi it’s literally In The historic record. History doesn’t shine well on you

  • Nelgumford Nelgumford (@Nelgumford) reported

    Empty nesters: Do not throw your kid's Meccano sets away, now that they are grown up. I am a middle aged man buying specific Meccano pieces (that I can remember from the 1970s) from eBay in order to fix items around my house because someone threw mine away.

  • skullgeist 🔞skullgeist🔞 Commissions: full (@skullgeist) reported

    i said this cuz i was looking at ebay to see if prices went down for some reason and of course it didn't. least i could find was 100 bucks for one. i did see a copy of super monkey ball 2 for 30 bucks though

  • Spawwg Ian Fan (@Spawwg) reported

    @TMThrustmaster You ned to sort out the stock issue, people are selling these on eBay for stupid prices and the people that love racing sims are being exploited.

  • LinneaKou Lii @ Sentinel of the Sea (@LinneaKou) reported

    We hunted for fansubs of Sailor Moon s5 on eBay for months before we managed to purchase a 10 DVD set for like $50-60 of the absolute shoddiest quality (tons of errors with the subtitle quality, random corrupted sections of video, etc.) And I had to be content with that.

  • KatieRocketship Katie.Rocketship (@KatieRocketship) reported

    Asking 90s photographers how to fix my film camera and then seeking the piece I need on eBay feels a lot like asking wizards for arcane knowledge and being sent on an impossible quest.

  • therealsamad_ TheRealSamad (@therealsamad_) reported

    @Jneigha Exactly! You know how some people are though. Always trying to make shortcuts, then wonder why their Amazon or Ebay shop gets shut down.

  • plushiesharkie 🦈 SHU (@plushiesharkie) reported

    @mrbirbsky 😔 The problem is it doesn't sell outside the UK. Have to wait till ebay or something but then people charge crazy prices.

  • BritonMarrett mrgodsent (@BritonMarrett) reported

    @AskeBay I did and @ebay decided to close the case without even hearing anything from us. My wife reached out to @ebay and they have been investigating the issue. I'm waiting to see what's going to happen because we even sent the item back to the seller.
