    @AskeBay Hi eBay really unhappy with your response to my feedback issue this morning. Can someone help me with this please. Many Thanks

    @kayaburgess @jackmjenkins No phone / tablet with bluetooth? Definitely check for any other devices nearby. Anything at all (baby monitor / doorbell / wireless speakers).. Trial / Fury / Error / Anger / Annoyance / Buy wired devices off ebay.

  • biddyonabike Biddy in a 🎭 (@biddyonabike) reported from Bristol, England

    @Otto_English I remember dumping the error messages from a Cobol compiler. Shilling errors and the like. If we became the only country that wasn't decimal how many apps would decide to accommodate us? Amazon? Ebay?

  • JimmyTheGem345 Jimmy Heritage (@JimmyTheGem345) reported

    @card_kt I would go down to the bottom section ask EBay/questions section. Make sure you do it on a computer instead of a phone. Much more user friendly.

  • MorningAccount The Morning Account (@MorningAccount) reported

    Analysis by UHY Hacker Young shows that HMRC sent online retail platforms like eBay and Amazon just 80 data requests about sellers between April and December 2020, down from 2,684 requests in the 2019/20 tax year.

    Land the helicopter near an equipment semi trailer and tarps to keep to sell to interested billionaires.... use eBay ... I am sure you will have no problems as long as you do a pretrip of the buyer

  • aeritthh (@aeritthh) reported

    @5ekaa yeah but imagine the sellers who don’t get tracked shipping or who don’t download the apps and just trust ebay.... @ebay you need to fix this because this is the second time somebody has tried to tell me their item hasn’t arrived based on your delayed tracking stats when it has

  • daztheman123 Daztheman123 (@daztheman123) reported

    @Retro_NUFC I've already turned down 250. My nice had it up on ebay and we've had a few offers already and loads watching already. I'm in no rush as such as its only been online for about a day.

  • legallypauper Me. (@legallypauper) reported

    I spent another half an hour on eBay looking for a good tumbler. The problem is there are too many and I can’t buy all so I didn’t buy one.

  • ItsUhhhhMe Me (@ItsUhhhhMe) reported

    @zcregger @eBay What happened to the plate? The links gone/not working

  • Interestedin7 By Order of the Committee (@Interestedin7) reported

    @eBay hi, why when you acknowledge you made a mistake.... (technical error - so my packing slip showed the wrong items, so I sent the wrong items, and now have to re-post the correct items, clearly costing me money) ... don't you offer any reimbursement for my actual cost..

  • malenerdity Full Frontal Nerdity (@malenerdity) reported

    @SlabCity10 @OldTownCards Same. It's eliminated 90% of the problems with eBay.

  • david7even david seven (@david7even) reported

    @JoanHenry7 Look on ebay. You can find a lot of re- manufactured parts including circuit boards on an exchange basis for systems decades old. You should have no problem, even if your bloke is unwilling to look.

  • philslesbian cleo minecraft 🦕 (@philslesbian) reported

    @ItsJustHedy i spent $21 on a piece of paper with a picture of a man on it the other day and am currently in a ebay bid for another one... it’s a real problem

  • DICE_MAN321 DICEMAN (@DICE_MAN321) reported

    @BonOtterman Yeah it sucks man. Worst case scenario is to buy one off ebay (I came close to doing that). It would be a shame to have a talented Dreams creator leave because of some terrible Sony customer service and mix up. Hopefully it's on the way and you'll get it soon. 🙏

  • 11b_us US-11B-VietVet (@11b_us) reported

    @SenDuckworth @arnoldgmac59 @USPS He has hurt our small Ebay business for months. We spend a lot of time trying to keep our customers up to date on slow shipments.

  • andrewgange andrew gange (@andrewgange) reported

    @eBay I can’t get in my account and it keeps asking me to sign in. Then go thru contact us and again it asks me to sign when that’s my problem can you make cantact coz I am getting pissed off now

  • bonaparten76 Bonaparten76 (@bonaparten76) reported

    @julierehmeyer CCI " chronic constriction injury?" She worried it the " rona".. tell her to buy an ozonator off ebay jack up on ice cold o3 kills bacteria- pathogens all way down back of throat. U seen mouthwash research you can swallow all way with it o3 u can. Plus the" rona" anaerobic.

  • nicoleloisee nico eloise 🏳️‍🌈♿️💀💄🟨🟥 (@nicoleloisee) reported

    Honestly if they don’t respond to me and fix this I’m gonna start shopping on ebay instead bc this is so ridiculous, you’ve had so much off me in fees that you’re taking the mick. Yet another stress I didn’t need thanks for that huns x

  • The_CameraShop Camera Dealer 📷💙 (@The_CameraShop) reported

    I really have an issue with lazy ebay sellers. The ones who cannot be bothered to photograph the item they're selling. They put up a message saying "photos coming soon". Then there are the idiots who then buy that item WITHOUT seeing it. ARE YOU BLOODY MAD?!

  • Louise_m_perry Louise Perry (@Louise_m_perry) reported

    @CohenJessiae omg I spent HOURS looking for the right changing unit and then drove halfway across London to collect it, most of them are terrible. Fortunately ebay baby kit is a buyer's market because so many people are desperate to offload bulky stuff

  • MyFootballShir1 Brad (@MyFootballShir1) reported

    @rob_fletcher_ I know right, was gutted when she said she was taking it down as she now realises it is worth a lot more. It is understandable but still if you don’t know a product a quick search on eBay usually gives you a rough value.

  • Martinoregan86 Martin O'Regan (@Martinoregan86) reported

    @jacobites23 @ElkHunter78 Fair question Jacob but it would just come up as error. Like if 2 ppl clicked on buy it now on eBay at the same time. There are easy ways to avoid these errors

  • earthbonded Ann Palmer (@earthbonded) reported

    I'm in contact with a seller who has asked for my email address. No problem - we've reached an amicable settlement - but (Ebay) won't let me send an email with a contact address in it. This is frankly b....y stupid. Solution please.

  • N8ThePanda Nate (@N8ThePanda) reported

    gonna start a 'take down @eBay group"

  • wonchells eve 2.0 (@wonchells) reported

    @DargasonArts i broke down and bought the bakugou one i want off ebay but hawks price is SO HIGH

  • Fedealegri7 ADHD’r or Idiot IDRK (@Fedealegri7) reported

    @XxOceanRain @exaltnow18 @StarWarsNewsNet If you still find them marked down today buy one like really, and list it on eBay they’re going for 100 bucks or more

  • calum_chapman99 Calum Chapman (@calum_chapman99) reported
