    @HardwareUnboxed @microcenter However if it’s a part I usually don’t have trouble with, like a CPU or SSD for example, and the part is $400 locally but its $250 on ebay then I’ll either wait for a sale or buy it on ebay. Aliexpress is out of the question, unless it’s an older item like an i7-5960x.

    @WDWNT Supply issues from china seem to be easing makes a mug of the eBay parasites that were selling these for 300 a go

    @JackRhysider It happens, bro. Scams on eBay have become a serious problem especially these days. Work on it @eBay

  • Mach8_73 Mach8 (💸,💸) (@Mach8_73) reported

    @AskeBay Hi Ebay I'm having problems with a not processed order but card was charged, the store says it doesn't have the money because the order was not processed. I need a refund asap please. It's impossible to reach you thru the website.

  • ryansportscards Ryan’s Basketball Cards (@ryansportscards) reported

    Need to get some views on my eBay store. It’s completely dried up there as of late. I know I’m not throwing down high end cards, but it’s not trash. So, please don’t mind my minor spam over the next few days, and take a look!

  • MarketSpider MarketSpider (@MarketSpider) reported

    @joshsube I did drop shipping and was getting successful at it, then Amazon shut us down. I would find product from overstock Walmart and list them on eBay and Amazon. I guess the only difference is the prep center?

  • dexpc5 Dexter K (@dexpc5) reported

    @JermaineBiz @WealthSquad But in terms of the dca I do it every paycheck I get. Once I pay down my credit cards I’m going to use some of my side hustle money from eBay to invest to

  • That_Juan_Gamer Juan (@That_Juan_Gamer) reported

    @LordAtrexia man i went through a whole *** headache on eBay to buy the game only to receive a broken copy, ended up spending £40 for a new one, and then they announce this. suffering

    @Cruzlink2 If I can't fix this Ebay seller's CPS2 digital A/V and Darksoft installs with my novice soldering skills, I might have a job for you.

  • Collector1Card Chris Card Collector1 (@Collector1Card) reported

    @CardPurchaser no. sold 4 lots of cards this week. it wont slow down on ebay.

  • _itsnotlily ʟɪʟʏ⁴⁷ ¹⁶ | Mick P8 | 🇦🇹 GP (@_itsnotlily) reported

    I bought 7 Mick Schumacher cards(two repeated) from eBay and 3 from Charles Leclerc, and that's how I knew I had serious problems 🤭

  • datenwolf datenwolf – @datenwolf@chaos.social (@datenwolf) reported

    @_Jana_Marie With respect to color line sensors. I wonder if one could find some by harvesting from old "broken" flatbed scanners bought on eBay. Of course it'd have to be "el cheapo" scanners that don't use dichroic filters and 3 sensors, but also are single pass.

  • DaisyLouLantz Cindy-Lou 💙💛 Slava Ukraini 🌻🌻🌻 (@DaisyLouLantz) reported

    @Endthemisery1 @Penny_Barone There were fights over who would get the ones on top. The ones that were still hot and not broken. Lol. I used to have a can and I don’t know what happened to it. I think I may have to search eBay for another. Lol

  • Matthew17663548 chefmatt716 (@Matthew17663548) reported

    @WatchTheBreaks sell something on ebay for $160....your funds $125. Trying to understand the breakdown on fees, fixed fee (whatever that is), is a math problem I'm not ready to take on.

  • TechYESCity Tech YES (@TechYESCity) reported

    @jmcudk @HardwareUnboxed @SMGuy691 Unreliable? How many items have you bought from there? I have bought 100s and have had one problem. Which got semi resolved. Ebay has had more problems for me.

  • wilsonpeter48 peter wilson (@wilsonpeter48) reported

    @SpigenWorld I would like to bring to a problem with eBay selling your goods. I am after a new camera ***’s protector in red as I have just bought a high quality case and want a red protector cover for my iPhone 12 ***’s cover. But when I put iPhone 12 lenses camera protector

  • CHEE5E2EE CHEE5E (@CHEE5E2EE) reported

    @samaritans @CitizensAdvice @peterboroughcab I honestly don't think you can help me with these issues I'm having though. Ignored by big companies that what my money but don't want to help with anything. The online world is a mess and we have to just carry on regardless. Weeks I've been trying with ebay and its beyond funny

    those gimmicky ebay dunks that nike wants to release are so terrible, sandy bodecker would not approve

  • FIERCECAT2021 FIERCECAT2021 (@FIERCECAT2021) reported

    Do u know where I can get a refurbished Xbox 360 HDD? Because mine is toast and it’s starting to have texture streaming and pop in issues. @chrillcast also I bought the HDD that has gone bad from somebody on eBay. When I get another one I want it to be new

  • dosmastr Dosmastr (@dosmastr) reported

    @eBay You gonna fix that it also says it's delivered?

  • TezzaSingh87 Terry Singh (@TezzaSingh87) reported

    I like @Superdry but your eBay store is terrible

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

    @minecraftboy65x Hi there 👋 Sorry to hear you had trouble with an order!As you closed the case, we wouldn't have the option to open this again & the order is no longer covered by eBay money-back guarantee.😕 We'd recommend getting in touch with your payment provider at this point. ~ Leila

  • VapesJuice JuiceMonkey EPL 🇬🇧 💙 (@VapesJuice) reported

    @BBCNews Put in a different way, would Boris Johnson knowingly lie to people? @eBay_UK maybe Shannon’s team learnt from the man himself (Boris), run like Downing Street? Different rules apply depending on who you are? The issue isn’t the whole of ebay, is it Shannon’s team? 🚨 @AskeBay

  • reubenhann Reuben (@reubenhann) reported

    @eBay seems to be plagued non-payers! There seems to be much less incentive for sellers nowadays. Isn’t it time you clamped down on this? It’s not fair on the sellers.

  • DryOldFox1 DryOldFox (@DryOldFox1) reported

    @USPSbiz You have a great track record for delivering my eBay products on time that is greatly appreciated. Last week I shipped two well packaged glasses in a sturdy cardboard box with cushion and bubble wrap. Wrote fragile glass all over the box. Both glasses were broken on arrival. 😞

  • thelmarouge thelmarouge🗨 (@thelmarouge) reported

    @CJBroon Eloquent, but most competent housewives know that. Battening down the hatches, living on a shoestring, whilst earning as much as you can + maximising your assets (ebay etc), the only way out of such a predicament. Running a county's economy's no different. Chief c o c kamammie👎

  • aaronwest87 Aaron West 🇺🇦 (@aaronwest87) reported

    Sent something to someone on ebay, unfortunately arrived damaged although packed extremely well and the damage looks to of been caused by forced opening of said product. Didn't argue accepted the return no problem and refunded instantly...Still got a neg feedback, ******.

  • ItzDaniel420 Itz Daniel (@ItzDaniel420) reported

    @PogCrab @oakengnome @NickAdamsinUSA I rarely ever shop on Amazon cause they never package anything properly, everything I ordered arrives broken. I ordered a hard drive, it was thrown into a box with no padding, nothing, it was dead on arrival. ebay sellers are better at packing their orders in my opinion.

  • DharMannFamEXE goddess of cringe (COMMISSIONS CLOSED) (@DharMannFamEXE) reported

    That EBay scammer made an alternate account and has bid on one of my items again and now my computer’s slow as ****. Todays shaping up to be a really **** one so far
