Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CorinthianBlain Corinthian Blain (@CorinthianBlain) reported

    Is anybody else in the #corinthiancommunity seeing a serious drop off in the number of #corinthian items listed on eBay? There used to be hundreds per day. This week it's down to dozens.

  • moregreenhouse Greenhouse (@moregreenhouse) reported

    @David_Tracey I still want to see another move down to 4100 before I am comfortable getting long. I'd love for this to happen before march opex.... Also, **** EBAY. Realized max loss on my 52/51 credit spread because they magically recovered from their earnings dip. I despise earnings.

  • naughtysecrets John **** (@naughtysecrets) reported

    sorry if you only want to play the new thing and I'm a bore but you'll forget in a month and move on, everyone does fwiw i don't like that my body is broken and i'm dependent on selling things, increasingly ones i care about and will miss, on eBay to survive maybe consider that

  • Agent_Lambchop Agent_Lambchop (@Agent_Lambchop) reported

    Yo people who try to lowball you on ebay, like super lowball you, can suck a fat ****. I'm willing to knock a few bucks off a card no problem but asking if I'll knock like $10-$15 off for you is ridiculous.

  • heistypokerdlr William Heist (@heistypokerdlr) reported

    I have a big issue...when I have time to do card stuff I never know what to do. Do I put my 2022 S1 in order and set together, do I post stuff on Twitter/Ebay to sell?? I've ripped so much S1, Mosaic NFL, AEW not sure what to do.

  • TrueOneOfOne Magin Argueta (@TrueOneOfOne) reported

    @heistypokerdlr It seems people trust feebay more than anything! I have joined fcbook trading groups and things have worked better. By personal experience, I have had more issues (lost money) through ebay than working directly with buyers. Ebay is pro-buyer/protect scammers! 100% ebay feedback!

  • JoeyAuzenne ⚜️WhoDat_Joey⚜️ (@JoeyAuzenne) reported

    @_AskeBay Hi! I was wondering if you could help me with a cancellation issue on a pair sneakers purchased on eBay?

  • hazeldanger El Tigre (@hazeldanger) reported

    @paperbacksnpugs Oof. I bought this blind on eBay a few weeks ago but not got round to it yet. Might move it further down the watch pile.

  • femalebytes Rakhi Bhatia (@femalebytes) reported

    @AskeBay I’m not sure if I did. There are now alternatives available FB Marketplace is one. Hassle free and not having to deal with these issues. At the very least I would expect EBay to have protection in place for sellers

  • The_Jackie_M Jackie M. (@The_Jackie_M) reported

    @unsuckEBAY @ValueAddedRS You guys are forgetting that this is eBay. We've had site functions broken for months, years and many that are never fixed. Their definitions are tied to the eBay bubble, not to reality.

  • benbjurstrom Ben Bjurstrom (@benbjurstrom) reported

    @gear_focus @GeraldUndone Definitely rooting for you. Using eBay for the last 20 years has always been terrible.

  • twilly18 𝕽𝖆𝖙 𝕸𝖆𝖉𝖓𝖊𝖘𝖘 (@twilly18) reported

    @jsmith4966 you will have to list it under a non medical category I listed mine the way I thought I should the ebay took it down saying I couldn't sell something that requires a prescription

  • JandGflips JandGflips (@JandGflips) reported

    @ListNFlip Amazon handles all my returns due to being FBA. eBay I have a lot of my items set for no returns. If on eBay there is a problem with an item I sent then I will cover return costs. If customer changed their mind they can pay to ship it back. This has worked for me

  • pumpkinsfriends Lovebirds, Kakarikis and Budgies 🦜 (@pumpkinsfriends) reported

    @WQuaffle Can't you just buy a new battery? I got one for $20 on eBay. I have a refurbished phone and it's one problem was the battery.

  • Kris_Windom Web of Wyrd (@Kris_Windom) reported

    @foxacheUK @eBay Had AT&T customer service tell me to use another provider when they started throttling down my internet speeds on my phone. So I did.

  • 666Hellblazer Ben (@666Hellblazer) reported

    My Thor issue 20 2nd printing finally shipped from Ebay. I can finally catch up on Donny Cates's thor storyline. I can't wait

  • BlackHatCapital Patrick (@BlackHatCapital) reported

    eBay had this problem a lot pre 2010. But it’s those who buy from China knowing they bought something cheap then complain about long shipping items. You get what you ask for! Many of these things are from pre 2019 too.

  • TheCGerb Gerber (@TheCGerb) reported

    @eBay Please allow users to block any buyers with less than 1 purchase. Every time I have an issue with a buyer, it is with a brand new buyer.

  • tapandrollgames Tap & Roll Games (@tapandrollgames) reported

    If @ebay doesn't soon address the issues with their Standard Envelope tracking service, I'll be tempted to take my business - and the tens of thousands of dollars they make off of me in fees every year - elsewhere. 1/3 #ebay #ebayseller #TradingCards @AskeBay @eBayForBusiness

  • JoGoTheVO Josh Gordon - Voice Actor/Concept Artist! (@JoGoTheVO) reported

    @LightningFigPR UPDATE NUMERO DOS: they couldn’t send me a replacement but they did send me a MMPR Green Ranger figure (which I’ll sell on eBay if anyone wants it) and either way the broken grip still miraculously fits into the Zeo Pink figure’s arm.

  • AYGREYSON A.Y. GREYSON🧢 (@AYGREYSON) reported

    @svershbow We got our first household computer in 1993, then Windows 95 followed by Windows ME—went down the AOL-ASL rabbit hole,basic coding websites, DOS, mounting virtual discs, I even remember ordering things off eBay in elementary school between 1999-2000 with slow landline internet.

  • UltraModernBall Ultra Modern Baseball (@UltraModernBall) reported

    @DizzleAZ @CardPurchaser Blasters go for around $30 on eBay. I think it'll die down in the next couple weeks...if you can't find them locally, you'll find plenty online. Just sucks that people are buying up entire shelves again.

  • lockatron Andy (Wallie) Wall (@lockatron) reported

    @eCommerceLOL @AskeBay eBay are still letting its sellers down. I've had enough of eBay......they're a disgrace.

  • eCommerceLOL Travis - Wisconsin (@eCommerceLOL) reported

    Why do certain listings refuse to accept the same exact photos we upload? Getting stuck on the same upload after 3 different days of trying, 3 different create new listings. 3 completely different items. Fix the website @askebay #ebay #broken

  • geowiz34 Donald (@geowiz34) reported

    2022 Topps Series 1 has broken eBay searches Description and title manipulation is getting out of hand. My saved searches have more exclusion parameters than ever before. #theHobby #CardChat

  • Stephabee_ Stephanie Giovanna (@Stephabee_) reported from Orlando, Florida

    @rajandelman Pull the broken one out with pliers. If it didnt come with an extra one, I think you can request one from ikea or get basically identical ones from ace hardware, lowes, or ebay for very cheap.

  • Abstruse Darryl Mott (@Abstruse) reported

    And they can't even make the claims of sites like eBay for discoverability being a one-stop-shop for craft goods because, if you've ever tried searching for anything on Etsy just to browse, you know how **** their search functions are and how terrible the site is to use.

  • tapandrollgames Tap & Roll Games (@tapandrollgames) reported

    Just today, I've had to answer to three customers complaining that they have not received their orders, despite them having been marked as 'Delivered' in eBay's system. This is EASILY addressable on eBay's end, and it's been this way for more than a year. eBay needs to fix... 2/3
