Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • YONKCARDS Matty Y (@YONKCARDS) reported

    @fantasybbhero Lol...I have a different problem. 33 eBay bucks can very easily make me justify a $3300 purchase.

  • TheHabs92 Christian Walters (@TheHabs92) reported

    @Atlantisonfire @DontBeSaad20 The card collecting area has blown up, everybody is doing it, prices have gone sky rocketing, card resellprices on ebay have skyrocketed. Unfortunately I got no LCS anywhere near me so I haven't had this issue

  • mamakatj k a t (@mamakatj) reported

    im so angry i went down an ebay rabbit hole and now i need a useless decorative art deco lucite cigarette box or else i will become very hostile

  • LauraToddCarns Laura Todd Carns (@LauraToddCarns) reported

    @ilanaslightly eBay and Etsy are good if you’re looking for a specific issue, but are overpriced if you just want an assortment. Antique stores and some thrift shops will have milkcrates full of old magazines for much cheaper. Also sometimes estate sales.

  • TheGalox_ Anthony (@TheGalox_) reported

    On Ebay you can get a Galaxy S21 for around $600 and a Galaxy S21U for $1000 These phones have gone down in value so fast its unbelievable.

  • Lord_Autist Sailor Pothead (@Lord_Autist) reported

    @Hermesparcels I need help with fixing a very minor issue with the adress i had on my Ebay delivery. Will it be possible to contact a real person to fix this issue considering all avenues for contact i can find on your website lead to useless and near completly redundant bots.

  • turtles_vrywhr May of knees (@turtles_vrywhr) reported

    @thetomska Wanted to call it but forgot it. Soooo many people had problems with selling stuff like this on ebay. Doesn't matter if it was for charity or not. People come up with the weirdest excuses..

  • PlaidCypress130 PlaidCypress130 (@PlaidCypress130) reported

    @mythichorse switch pro ain't coming out any time soon. My recommendation is buy the switch right now and when the switch pro releases sell the switch on eBay. I did the same with my ps4 to get a ps5. also domt worry. The price will go down but not by much. You will lose 30 to 50 dollars max

  • CraigoDoesGames 🦠 CRAIGO 🦠 (@CraigoDoesGames) reported from Havant, England

    Hey #VitaIsland ...have you ever had issues with selling stuff on eBay where people claim to receive carts/memory cards that do not work and the pins look tampered with? (Sold my working 32gb card that I used for a year and buyer claims it’s dead)

  • nhs281 I am G0rb (@nhs281) reported

    @SwiftOnSecurity Showed to my Girlfriend the Ebay-Price-Tag. She was shocked and told me thats enough for a used Server.

  • tezza2701 Terry (@tezza2701) reported

    I just ordered 20 million Pfizer doses on eBay. Leaps and bounds Australia. Now... next problem?

  • DelDawna dawna del rae (@DelDawna) reported

    @eBay 1/7: I’ve been having issues with a purchase and to date have gotten NO help. I bid on a baseball jersey. I recall seeing 6 photos. I was comfortable with a small stain. My friend is the quality control engineer for majestic. He wanted to see the jersey I described.

  • teamSlinky teamslinky (@teamSlinky) reported

    One of the things I love about shopping on eBay over Amazon's Next Day service, is when you buy an item on a slow delivery service and by the time it arrives you'd forgotten all about it and what you ordered. #SurpriseSuprise

  • Lord_Napier Richard Watson 💙 (@Lord_Napier) reported from King's Lynn, England

    @BuntingsWorld Same issue but I've been looking for Yellow/Blue Stockholm, Ebay has them £150...

  • jates0513 Moot (@jates0513) reported

    My girlfriend sent flowers to an Ebay shop to be put in resin. After not responding for weeks, they closed down the Etsy shop. These are flowers for her dad who passed away. They were a gift for her mom. What ********

  • Suffolk_Sifter Suffolk Sifter - Detectorist (@Suffolk_Sifter) reported

    @eBay your new payment system it absolute rubbish. You hold my buyers payment for FOUR days. With PayPal the payment was there the same day and I would post item the same day. Now I WON'T send until I get payment and tell buyers that this down to eBay!

  • akkaufman Alex Kaufman (@akkaufman) reported

    @FREAK0NAUT @MonetaryWonk @eBay It is much more surreal than that. We are living atop the cultural rubble of broken promises that central banks would maintain “price stability” - but they have lost the credibility that they will do this, and now engage in a race to the bottom in terms of currency debasement.

  • sabotune Richard Sabourin (@sabotune) reported

    this mess as to stop. you will get a class action starting pretty soon with all our delivery been lost and we are losing trust from the buyer and our rating is going down. it took my buyer in New York in USA almost 3 weeks to get it. i am sending email to all seller on Ebay

  • AlastairMarti16 Alastair Martin Henderson (@AlastairMarti16) reported

    @theJeremyVine @eBay Every eBay seller has an eBay history. If they’ve not got one, or have indifferent reviews, don’t use them. £200 life lesson learned - I bet she/you won’t fall down that hole again.

  • Lakshay92708232 Lakshay (@Lakshay92708232) reported

    @Vj_Shetty666 Yup most probably it was a scam. The AD was taken down after 5 hours from eBay

  • DamianPerera Dema (@DamianPerera) reported from Munich, Bavaria

    @nHiRanZ @homebridgeio RPi with Homebridge installed, that connected to my Panasonic a/c, LG tv, some cheap Xiaomi smart lights and Sonoff switches and plugs I got off eBay. HomeKit connected directly to the Homebridge and I never had a problem with it. You can also try @home_assistant if you like.

  • HeggieTBK Heggitha ;; (@HeggieTBK) reported

    Just got ANOTHER email "Reminder: this is still in your cart" from ebay... for an item I bought last July. Reported the glitch to ebay and here we are.

  • BrandiMorrow44 Cowcat44 (@BrandiMorrow44) reported

    @Phenom_85 @CharmanderHelps @PokemonTCGDrops Yeaahhh no dont pay $250 for a shiningfates ebt. Prices are going down on ebay etc, around $80 now.

  • Bradfordjack Jack Leyland (@Bradfordjack) reported

    @eBay taking the pi$$ this morning, charging me £329 for ending an item early as i noticed and error in the listing (which I couldn’t change as it had received a bid) so I’ve not sold the item but been hammered with a ridiculous charge, Classy Ebay, very classy 👏👏

  • razialo Petr Legkov 🔎💼 (@razialo) reported

    @utopiah Reminds me of those times where we were renting a TeamSpeak server for our school clan over ebay. Was 15€ for three month haha Any cheaper service? I remember Digital ocean being premium price?(they use SSDs exclusively, right?)

  • Fryguy64 Mark "Fryguy64" Kelly (@Fryguy64) reported

    @sweetymog CEX sells the original DS version for £12. A lot of 3DS games haven't really come down in price yet though. Sometimes CEX works out cheaper than eBay, especially with postage taken into account.

  • msftbob Barry Hatchard 🏳️‍⚧️ (@msftbob) reported

    @SarahIsabellaXx @eBay 😭 so sorry! Pokemon distribution continues to be terrible for everyone.

  • B00mzerk Fix P5 Strikers on Steam! (@B00mzerk) reported

    @TheAssass1n_ @PersonaWeeeb I think I paid somewhere between 600-800 for all of them, I saved quite a bit by going to thrift stores and repairing broken ones off ebay.

  • nectar Nectar (@nectar) reported

    @greebobbo Ah sorry to hear that! Did eBay advise if they are working n a fix for the issue? Craig

  • EricSan78009534 Miles Petrawski (@EricSan78009534) reported

    Honestly, eBay is a company owned by scumbags. Shut PayPal, Venmo, and anything else under their ownership down apart from the parent site. Let’s call a class action😈
