eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Matt 🦖 (@Zeroslashh) reported@PeakHobby I understand the intent, but this is braindead. There are people who go to shows specifically to acquire in-print product because they can’t anywhere else. They negotiate prices down/ trade towards their purchase instead of paying taxes + shipping + eBay fees. Juvenile decision.
-
DBAY-EXQUISITE LIMITED (@dbayexquisite) reportedYour phone’s screen is broken? Get the screen replacement from eBay through @dbayexquisite. Order Placed For: Google Pixel 7 Pro Screen Relaplacement with Frame Price: N93,527 Kindly note that prices are not constant and the shipping fee is calculated based on the weight of the item.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedThat's a quad-socket server board (4 Xeon CPUs visible) stuffed with ~1TB RAM across dozens of DIMMs. Classic meme pic — most likely a Dell PowerEdge R920/R930 or similar Supermicro-based enterprise chassis. Used ones pop up on eBay cheap, but they're power-hungry beasts. Great for VMs/databases if you have the electric bill for it.
-
Kingdomall (@Kingdomall_) reported@1saacson @NewAgeCardKings I for one have looked over ebay listings - postings online, not even just call-out posts - and seen several issues with said cards. the only negative to not subbing yourself is not being able to directly hold the card.

LD Waford (@LdWaford) reportedCalifornia’s 911 system is collapsing — 62,000 minutes of outages per month, engineers scavenging parts on eBay, and a $500M “upgrade” that made it worse. This is legacy infrastructure failing the public when lives are on the line.The Homo Novus Tech Stack solves it now: AI/AGI for intelligent, predictive call triage, instant dispatch, and coordinated response Starlink for resilient, always-on satellite communications that never go down (already proven in California disasters)Unlimited intelligence + unbreakable connectivity = public safety that actually works. The future isn’t patching broken 1970s systems. It’s evolving beyond them. #HomoNovus #TechStack

JDPdad (@JDPdocdad) reported@Pokemon__drama I think any time you buy anything on ebay you need to record opening it. Too much fraud on ebay right now. You should also have proof of what you sold with pictures etc. Ebay has been pretty good about resolving issues with sellers for me over the past year so you might be right
-
Brent Wendland (@BrentWendland) reported@layscrispytaco Have had a total of 7 of these since last November. Super annoying. Have received messages from buyers that they received the item but tracking says otherwise. eBay should really work on getting a fix on a flawed tracking system.
-
Sean C (@Garron217) reportedThe @eBay API has been down for two days now due to DNS issue. TWO DAYS!! How is this possible in 2026? Is EBay usage so low now that this is not even news?
-
Big Ten Tone (@BigTenTone) reported@TyCoTooCold Had a similar issue in PA not too long ago as the buyer. I bought a bowling ball on eBay from someone near Cleveland, for some reason the ball was quickly shipped to Erie PA, where it just sat still and didn’t move for a week.
-
Premier Sports Cards (@premiercards_2) reported@PapayonTrading I’m going to ask the million dollar question..... and I know this is super controversial...... but if people are buying these, what’s the problem with it? I don’t quite understand how it’s any different than paying a crazy amount of money on ebay for one?
-
John B (@mdnjohnb) reported@eBay I've tried all that and couldn't get a human to respond. The automated ai is stuck at the same point becasue the issue is active, but that's just because the seller keep adding tracking number every day to prevent 3 days deadline of ebay intervention
-
Mikey Vintage (@dog913101) reportedeBay down again🤦🏻
-
WILDISH 🏁 (@wildish500) reported@LsTdiecast @nascar9cr7fan @Oneracedeal You tried to post links to your eBay a million times even after you were reminded it was against server rules lol
-
John B (@mdnjohnb) reported@eBay The customer service is truly the worse, the seller sent me a defective product. I opened a case and only if the seller doesn't respond for 3 days can ebay step in, the seller just go every day to add the tracking number and keep the issue fesh, and i can't contact support.
-
Roman Pioneer (@renoipgp) reportedCredit where it’s due: @eBay acted quickly and banned seller a1_excell after exposure, a high-volume scammer who moved over $25,000 in fake memorabilia, including items with PSA certificates that appeared home-printed. While the response is a positive sign, it underscores a deeper issue: a single account was still able to generate five figures in fraudulent sales before any action was taken. It proves that while platforms can react to public pressure, the current pre-sale screening for "authenticated" high-value items remains dangerously thin.
-
Make It With Calvin (@MakeItWithCal) reported@christopherrufo This is like BART before they got their "new trains." They were having to scrounge bits off Ebay to keep them going. Respect to the maintenance guys for doing that, but the planned obsolescence of technology is becoming a massive issue.
-
goffdihhh (@CordiliaRoberts) reported@eBay hurry up n fix ur app jeez been 3 days already I wanna buy stuff
-
Michael Simister (@6SigmaFreak) reported@ValueAddedRS @mazenra eBay goes down for x minutes, platform y traffic and sales goes up by z. Cost to disrupt is less than the increase in sales….you have motive. But no one would be bold enough to actually hire someone to do this…unless you have thousands of seller accounts.
-
Steve’s Sports Cards (@StevesSportsCa1) reported@eBay can I get help on a buyer dispute issue please? have tried every avenue to speak with someone and can’t get connected
-
Steve’s Sports Cards (@StevesSportsCa1) reported@eBay I’ve done that and can’t get an agent to connect, the automated assistant isn’t any help for this issue
-
Jason Reynolds (@jason_xero) reported@mattvanswol You all do realize that the bulk of what all is stolen is being resold online. Either on EBay or Amazon by third party sellers. The problem isn’t the actual thieves stealing it. It’s who they are selling it to. Chances are, you are buying stolen merch.
-
Clowntonio Brown (@tapesandcds420) reported@Alexm3111 @iK9cards @gamestop He’s too lazy to take a photo and put it on eBay, his problem. Should be pissed AT the guy. Same with goodwill, ppl complain, but keep buying. Game stop “rips ppl off” but people keep going.
-
W (@TheLotLawyer) reported@SteeloAndKri I think its a problem of people not understanding the value of time to people with money. Yeah he could have spent dozens of hours listing, selling, and shipping those cards but he's got better **** to do. I shut my ebay down 2 years ago because i dont have time for it.
-
micah of whogaftwt (@TabaCentral) reportedCan someone rip this down and hold an auction for it on eBay
-
Jane (@Jane95475959158) reported@ToilerOnTheSea2 @AwakenedOf I got kicked off because I refused to do a video selfie to prove I was a real person despite having an account for 25 years, paying for advertising etc. They keep trying to tempt me back and it's not working. I just hope I can keep access to ebay which provides me with income.
-
Danice (it's 'Danis' not Denise) (@danice_danis) reported@eddawriter That's the plan. It's a forefront issue for me to source skulls ethically. I looked on ebay and there are a lot of box turtle shells for sale--I'm sure at least one comes with an empty box and a fine from US Fish & Game.
-
LeosCardz (@YoitisLeo) reported@Jylesss @eBay Of course eBay should take it down
-
Elite (@eliteproteam101) reportedHello @eBay, my account "alterprecision" was recently hit with an MC999 suspension without a clear explanation. I’ve tried contacting support but couldn’t get details. I’m ready to resolve any issue, kindly requesting a fair and manual review of my account, thanks for your help.

JayF (@knightoftism) reported@Mastu_Denton I'm watching this broken unopened cart on eBay, never seen a rev0 yet

yung beefington (@Cardshop420) reportedeBay had some weird outage and the last few days were SLOW AF. Seems to be back to normal now as of today. Feeling good 😎
