eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • the_cros 🔴⚪️ (@the_cros) reported

    @CaptStubble Still class though despite the distance from the pitch. I’ve got a load on an old laptop from the early 00’s and CL final year, leads broken so need to find one on eBay if they still do them so I can get them off.

  • atheist_in_nc Heisenberg (@atheist_in_nc) reported

    @CNN I've bought pallets of store returns before, for selling on eBay. It often ends up being 95% unusable trash, and another 5% that is broken or missing parts but still saleable.

  • BFNY10 Leland Lawrence (@BFNY10) reported

    @clintymason I had this problem last week. The 1st item I sold after switching to managed payments went to my PayPal account but an old one that I don't use for ebay anymore.

  • 4402Dragonite JustADragonite (@4402Dragonite) reported

    @Truetkats I just went ahead and repaired mine from shopping on EBay and a quick YouTube search. The only issue I had was getting ribbon cables through the hinge... (that ******* hinge...)

  • BrendenMWright Brenden Wright 👊🏻 (@BrendenMWright) reported

    @eBay Disappointed in my last few listings. Buyers who don’t pay. Weeks wasted. Slow or no real resolution. Not sure I’ll use again. @AskeBay

  • amanda_stretton Amanda Stretton (@amanda_stretton) reported

    Help needed. Sold a MacBook Air on @ebay. A week after receiving it the buyer started claiming issues & suggested I refund her but she’s keep it anyway. I refused. We agreed she could return it. Sent labels but have had no return & now @ebay have refunded and will take £ from me

  • Brent_daybyday B Harris (@Brent_daybyday) reported

    @steadcards @WatchTheBreaks They haven't been persistent about it so it sure seems just like a ploy for a refund and to keep the card. I will make sure I message eBay about it to get ahead of any issues too.

  • Mitchell_Rosen Mitchell Rosen (@Mitchell_Rosen) reported

    @WatchTheBreaks @AlexK245 @AskeBay To add. If the buyer does not refund you can ask eBay to step in by opening a case. In that instance ebay will issue the refund if the seller has not, when you escalate. Please check with seller prior to opening a case.

  • S_Crumpled_up Sam Crump (@S_Crumpled_up) reported

    @AskeBay Opera on Mac. I just tried opening the same saved search in Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers and it's the same problem on all of them. I tried it in the Samsung web browser and it's fine there, Opera on my phone just keeps opening the ebay phone app instead of a webpage.

  • lil_bit_special lil_bit_special (@lil_bit_special) reported

    @mbessey @ekdikeo @eBay Why to use it: Postage is 51 cents instead of 55 cents for a stamp. It "tracks" the envelope as it goes through the USPS system which mailing a PWE before didnt do. And yes, eBay did a terrible job explaining how this works.

  • iferenioluwa Yoruba Sweetness (@iferenioluwa) reported

    I am now no longer scared of buying stuffs on eBay, I am now sure that I will be attended to whenever I have an issue. @eBay_UK @AskeBay thank you 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

  • needykcal cherry (@needykcal) reported

    @R0TTENFOOD ebay is a place where people scam/get scammed a lot :( there’s other apps like depop! i’ve used depop for years and never had any problems with it

  • TIREHAUS Mike's Pacino Fan Central (@TIREHAUS) reported

    i miss hotel con dollar bins so much i just bought every issue of atari force on ebay for 20 dollars

  • Hail2DaKing5369 Chris (@Hail2DaKing5369) reported

    @Holyrol67103542 You can always ask for their eBay handle (if they have one), and search their history. Forums that have a trade thread like @TheFwoosh have a feedback thread, that people leave comments about transactions I’ve traded in the Fwoosh since 2004, with zero problems.

  • GuidoFawkes1976 GuidoFawkes (@GuidoFawkes1976) reported

    @Believe53582402 This company has shut down the purchases of silver. Go try to buy some. On ebay, places that I bought from a week ago have nearly doubled their price and thats even if they have it in stock.

  • Grumpy_Richard Richard Reid (@Grumpy_Richard) reported

    @AskeBay Hi, I'm trying to filter ebay to buy from within the EU but you guys don't seem to realise that the UK has left the EU and I'm going through pages of items to find ones actually in the EU. Will you please fix this.

    @themotleyfool Facebook will go 10X! People selling stuff is a billion dollar industry. Facebook Marketplace took down Craigslist as the local way to buy things from people. FB will also take down ebay since FB has reduced fees & easy shipping labels. Everyone will buy & sell on FB in future!!!

  • richardtroupe Richard Troupe (@richardtroupe) reported

    @mindthreat @welshworrier Yes, but it presents a problem for me in Northern Ireland as I should be paying extra VAT/charges on top of goods being shipped from the EU as we are still part of the European single market. However, eBay seems oblivious to it though.

  • AllCUTNate 🧐 (@AllCUTNate) reported

    @THEK0UNT I found a ridiculously large windchime that i made into a huge panpipe that i blew with a compressor. Sounded like a weird digeridoo. Neighbors complained too much, couldnt "turn it down". Sold it on eBay

  • purrmino just a girl ✨ (@purrmino) reported

    honest to god, this person on ebay telling me the item is a valentine’s day gift and demanding first class postage when they select 2nd class... um, calm down, male karen, if you wanna cancel, go ahead. hope your girl has a nice day without you.

  • danlightkeeper Danny Garrod (@danlightkeeper) reported

    Just thrown down a competitive bid for a new iron on eBay and done a stack of "sensible" meal-prep for the week. God I wish was more exciting than this. I used to play in a punk-rock band and have an attitude problem, y'know?

  • ForestFan99 Andy (@ForestFan99) reported

    @themotleyfool Facebook will go 10X. People selling stuff is a billion dollar industry. Facebook Marketplace took down Craigslist as the local way to buy things from people. It will take down ebay someday since FB has reduced fees & easy shipping labels. Everyone will buy & sell on FB in future

  • KimJFlanders Kimmy J 🖤💛🖤💛 (@KimJFlanders) reported

    @PittPenguin44 I’ll go buy them on there. I was just afraid because I heard so many of you all had problems on eBay. I need to make sure Jeffrey has these for his collection. If I lost them then I need to replace them. Thanks.

  • Ryan_p_McNulty Ryan McNulty (@Ryan_p_McNulty) reported

    @CardzI @HobbyConnector I want this. I had one bought on eBay but there were issues

  • CoastCyclist South Coast Cyclist (@CoastCyclist) reported

    @thesquishytrev I just bought a tennis game off of eBay to try and get some extra exercise in the house when it's pissing it down outside (like today AGAIN).

  • GeshGav Gavin Spence (@GeshGav) reported

    I have finally broken and am looking for a G1 Repugnus. eBay doesn't have much to offer - so any leads, chuck 'em my way pls.

  • bammertheblue I put the punk in punctual (@bammertheblue) reported

    @mimismartypants Oh god I found one on eBay for $24.99 somebody talk me down.

  • AnthonyLatini1 Anthony Latini (@AnthonyLatini1) reported

    @CharleUtd Coming down a bit on EBay. But still too high.

  • QuickExcuse Quick Excuse (@QuickExcuse) reported

    Sorry, I have a meeting with a guy who sells me loads of stuff on eBay at a terrible café
