N.E.Will (@TheRealNickW86) reported@askebay this is a beautiful card that just sold. The only problem is, it’s my card…and the seller isn’t me. I reported the listing and was told there was nothing wrong with it. Since when is it permissible to use other people photos, especially of serial numbered cards? The seller has a 33% feedback rating. I’ve had this card listed in my store for over a year as well. @eBay

Jonathan McHaney (@IamMcHaney) reported@eBay I’ve been trying to contact customer service, but the “have us call you” option is not working. I wait for the call, but instead of receiving the call I get a message saying that support was unable to call me. I have a time sensitive issue. #ebay #sellersupport

HCK (@HCK52786910) reported@redaction This should be reason enough to shut eBay down.

FixTechStuff 🛠️ (@FixTechStuff1) reportedFirst one is an exact copy of the original, except the support is stuck on because my printers fan wire is broken. 2nd one is actually supposed to be a different part. Next step, make them fit perfectly, and with aluminium sleeves stainless bolt and locknut and sell them on eBay

Valkyrie Honeybadger (@HoneybadgerNo1) reported@eBay @RobGronkowski eBay authentication needs serious improvement for Vintage luxury goods. While my item was determined to be authentic, eBay authentication found "minor issues" stating: 1) That there are more scuffs and scratches described or shown in the listing. 2) There are more spots and stains than shown or described in the listing. This is despite the fact the listing clearly states "“Scuffs on exterior leather surfaces. Inside lining has minor wear. Hardware has light wear. See photos.” and there are photos of the scuffs in the photo listing. Every scuff, scratch, and imperfection visible on the purse is already shown in the listing photographs. On a 1970s Vintage luxury purse (56 years old), this type of surface wear is expected, disclosed, and fully documented. Treating disclosed and photographed condition as an undisclosed defect is an incorrect and overzealous evaluation that ignores the reality of vintage leather goods. More critically, a stain now appears on the front of the purse that did not exist in either the listing photographs or the more than 150 photographs taken during the packing process immediately prior to shipment to the authenticator. eBay REALLY needs to improve their authentication and evaluation process for vintage luxury goods. They also need to account for the damage they have done to my very expensive luxury vintage purse.

yelziveta (@lettercunt) reported@emilkyun I’ve always assumed it’s import fees or something but I’ve gotten cheap aesop merch from china through eBay… so it’s probably a reseller issue. Scalpers gonna scalp

J9_FFC (@MrJ9_FFC) reported@eBay @eBay_UK will you sort your iPhone app out! It’s been days of nothing loading! I can’t get onto my purchase’s etc! I have deleted the app and reinstalled it! Still the same issue! Tried it on both of my IPhones and both of my iPads same issue on all 4 devices!

Birdie 18 (@Birdie18th) reported@BenMBurrows @nsccshow will someone ask an eBay rep about the sliding card issue and why it was a problem for so long and please video the conversation we need answers thank you for your attention to this matter

Fukuoka Slabs | 福岡ポケ (@FukuokaPokemart) reported@Hellaorganics Don't have that problem here in Japan but yea that's a big part of why I try to avoid selling on eBay which is mostly U.S. buyers. And worse than issues like that, just so many blatant scammers who lie about what they received, try to ship back a different worthless card, etc

。𖦹°‧ (@litwicksunset) reportedlike keep sending my melody and gloomy **** as if it’s not 2026 and every single jirai and inspiring ones haven’t been exposed to more coord options outside of gloomy bear and expensive ebay links. PLS **** OFF good riddance to that *** of a server
-
Brad Pearce (@WaywardRabbler) reported@newyork_dc @kevverage yeah it's crazy that a company as big as ebay couldn't just ignore some random bloggers, or issue a standard denial
-
Used Rugs 🀄 (@used__rugs) reported@FoxPanic @GrapheneOS from where? facebook marketplace? kyc. eBay? kyc. A **** shop in cash, cameras. Unless I pay a bum down the corner to go buy it. You catch the drift?
-
Kojrey (@kojrey_codes) reported@pronounced_kyle @kevverage I if remember right, that was part of the problem. All the media eBay backed were forced to toe the line. This blog/magazine was ostracised by eBay because they asked tough, legitimate questions the seller community had.
-
Kyd Alanious (@ItsThatKyd) reported@LipDisksMatter3 @outtatime200028 @Dexerto I don't think anyone needs $56 million, I just don't care that two people got it from eBay that much. Like it just doesn't even register to me it's so insignificant an issue.
-
Sunday White Rabbit (@SundayWhiteRab2) reported@I_Dare_Question @ArchitectOracle Well I wasn't talking it was wrong about the conspiracy theory stuff, I meant its just generally wrong about a lot of stuff. For instance I asked if I could list an item on ebay. It said yes I could. I listed it, it got an immediate VERO & was taken down. I could NOT sell it.

Mindy meeks (@Mindymeeksufpf) reported@TheLastRonin714 Same. Just for dead space on eBay, they are having a sale on digital, but I have no problem paying more if it means Sony won’t get anything from it. **** them.

Jayseal22 (@jayseal22) reported@jersey_loco_ lol I was completely wrong! I got another jersey from eBay and it came. You did kit fix the issue. 163 down the crapper.

Coach Kelly Hohnholz, SSV Group (@CoachKellySSV) reported@TheOutlawinTX Bro, same, I've been shot, stabbed and beaten down and I still prefer that to needles. Here's a hint. Search "Pain Stim Fidgit Toy" on Amazon or eBay. They're lil spiky fidgit toys that will distract you from the needles and they're cheap. GL man

MoonPieDreams (@MoonPieDreams) reported@nintendo_chall @AronOzmeir @Reggie Soooo what's you actual issue? Nintendo doesn't see a penny whether the gamer buys from eBay or the company that makes the M64. What's the problem? Free market. Legal.

sam fortenbery® (@SFort_704) reportedVery frustrated with my shopping experience with @eBay!!! My order was damaged when shipping from THEIR authenticator. There is no customer support outside of an automated agent! I am a loyal customer and now can't get help with an issue.

Novara Media (@novaramedia) reportedEbay has been ordered to pay a $55.7m settlement to an American couple over a harassment campaign by company executives which included doxing, online threats and the delivery of live cockroaches to their home. The orchestrated campaign, which lasted for two months in the summer of 2019, was waged against husband and wife David and Ina Steiner by six eBay employees and one contractor. The couple were targeted after posting criticism of eBay’s corporate and policy changes on their newsletter and website EcommerceBytes, which is popular among eBay sellers, Wired reported. The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a ******* party, a ********* and a yard sale with their home address. After the police were contacted, the harassment campaign tailed off as those involved sought to conceal their actions. Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig told Wired via a representative that he was “saddened” by the harassment. He has continually asserted that he had no knowledge of the specific actions taken by the group who carried out the campaign. Wenig is alleged to have given former eBay chief communications officer Steve Wymer the order to “take her down,” in reference to Ina Steiner. However, his lawyers claim he was referring to a communications plan and not any criminal behaviour, a claim supported by court documents according to Wired. Six former eBay staff and a contractor were charged with taking part in the campaign in 2020. The Steiners followed with a civil suit the following year. The case has now reached a final settlement which will award the Steiners more than $46.15m from eBay, $2m from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer. David Steiner told Wired: “We were really adamant that this type of behaviour by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.” In a published statement, eBay said that what the Steiners were subjected to was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” and that the company had strengthened its policies, controls and training since the incident.

Paul W. Bishop III (@BizPwb3) reported@onton_ai I'm not sure if this is what you're doing but it is a problem. Search is so unuseful these days. I want to find a part for a machine that requires certain technical parameters that I don't know? I have to take screenshots from eBay and force feed them into Grok. "Which of these works best?" It's really the realtime access to listings in e-commerce that will set your product apart. If it can't do that, it's cooked

The Toy Investor (@thetoyinvestor) reported@agwawegd I sell mostly on Amazon and Walmart. Maybe 5% on eBay. You would want to source items differently for eBay than you would Amazon / Walmart but I believe you truly need Amazon and Walmart if you want to maximize your business. Just comes down to your goals

Doodle Dad (@WickeyandLeia) reportedI sell motorcycle parts on eBay which is pretty much dried up because of the shipping.. these are usually bulky items and FedEx and UPS both got extremely expensive.. . Thankfully, I’m retired so this was just kind of for fun. Shipping rates will not go down even if gas does. It’s a one-way trip.

Miss Wednesday (@notshade) reportedPerson on eBay selling a bunch of newtype magazine issues separately but doesn’t seem to realize it’s read right to left so all the listing pictures are just the ads on the back cover
