  • PLewds 🦊⌛/🔔🌿ピーン祭り🕸️🧵/🚑/★ (@PLewds) reported

    @NiaSuzune Cheap capture cards tend to have a lot of issues. If you're desperate to save money try looking on ebay for a used one!

  • 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

  • Joe_L_20 Joe L (@Joe_L_20) reported

    @MatthewPesci @CardPurchaser I just do not want to get scammed considering eBay usually sides with the buyer. Don’t have an issue with 0 rating as we all start somewhere. The price of the item is what worries me a little bit.

  • AFC_Damian Damian (@AFC_Damian) reported

    @eBay is down, going to be some unhappy last second bidders! #ebay

  • sc0re14u Sc0re14u, LLC (@sc0re14u) reported

    You'll I need some positive vibes this morning. These super slow sales days are starting to get to me. I have been busting my butt to list, update, revise, & promote. Was going great until last Sunday...then trickle of sales. #eBay

  • adrianom Adriano Maia 💉💉💉 (@adrianom) reported

    @SwiftOnSecurity @AlyssaM_InfoSec I use a 1U supermicro pfsense with 8 10gbit on board, I got used from ebay for like 300. But pfsense has been very sloppy on the updates lately (basic things brake and goes broken for months).

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Fenia_S Fenia S (@Fenia_S) reported

    @Gabrielcismaru1 @InPostUK Same problem here with eBay and Inpost false delivered notifications, please fix this.

  • Joe_L_20 Joe L (@Joe_L_20) reported

  • WeaponXKP21 Stranded Time Traveler (@WeaponXKP21) reported

    I also specifically went out my way to get all the issues of House of M on Ebay. My comics shop had like one issue, I read it and needed them all after that.

  • owlgit Owlgit (@owlgit) reported

    @InPostUK @Gabrielcismaru1 Same problem. eBay notified parcel delivered to me on Feb 22. Your site tracking indicated at reception dept. Just arrived 3days later, clearly marked FRAGILE and in battered state. MMM...

  • NovaPollyDuo Magnetic Hunter Polarity (@NovaPollyDuo) reported

    @Hammer_Toe @DanielKold @JonComms Sounds more like you bought a controller that made a problem for you to conveniently make yourself a reason to dock points from Nintendo. That'd be like if I got a crappy PS4 controller on eBay and it breaks easy and I blamed Sony for that.

  • MerrittBaer Merritt Baer (@MerrittBaer) reported

    Are there any good alternatives to @eBay? Had terrible experiences there lately. Hate to use Facebook marketplace but is that my best alternative?

  • scottnasello Scott Nasello (@scottnasello) reported

    @MerrittBaer @eBay Hi @MerrittBaer we have a ton of folks at eBay that want to fix your bad experience. Care to DM some specifics?

    Amazon, Ebay, Yelp Listing Effect In Play for @3landersNFT The OpenSea #1 Collection for the last few days + Low Overall NFT Ecosystem Investor Volume (due to 🌎 Issues) = Funneling of actual buyers to what is listed @ #1 FP 1.78 aiming to break 1.85 ATH (1:30AM) LFGrow! 👊🏾

  • _bk_chino yo_B (@_bk_chino) reported

    @KIRNEILL @Radeon I hope they fix it before my 6900xt gets sold on EBay, love the card, hate the drivers.

  • allanwin Allan (@allanwin) reported

    @OiShinyThings @SashaDistan And don’t forget all the EU import/customs/VAT issues as well I think the modest rise is reasonable. 30% sounds a lot, but when it is going from 5 to 6.5 it’s nothing; compare with eBay’s 12.8% including on postage…

  • SwamileeSports SwamiLee (@SwamileeSports) reported

    Is @ebay down? I get "no healthy upstream" when I try to get to the site. @CardPurchaser

  • amygreen188 🌸 (@amygreen188) reported

    @thenickpepper Yeah eBay offer it but when I tried opening a request yesterday I kept getting “oops there was an error, reload the page” so I tried messaging them 🙄🙄 I’ll have to keep trying, i binned the packaging and wore it for an hour before I realised

  • Option_Iceman Crushed-by-Volatility (@Option_Iceman) reported

    Stocks on the big down opening: #SP5000 Added DISH at $26.00 Added EBAY at $50.00 Added ECL at $170.00 Added ETSY at $110.30 Added FB at $190.81 Added FDX at $208.25 Added FIS at $91.42 (3-year low) Added GPS at $13.19 Added KMX at $97.59 Added MHK at $133.03 Added MMM at $140.00

  • 4TEAMBEY Carlo on the BeyTeam (@4TEAMBEY) reported

    @eBay_UK I can not use my cards on eBay it keeps coming up With “please check your payments details or use a different payment option” the cards are working fine everywhere else! What is the issue with your site

  • AuntiePumpkin Anne (@AuntiePumpkin) reported

    @AskeBay Please stop eBay deciding which category a search searches. This is frustrating both as a buyer and a seller. I just looked for a vintage necklace using search words and it didn't search all categories until I used the drop down menu and then many more items appeared. 😡

  • 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.

  • CatalyXt YouTube “CatalyXt” (@CatalyXt) reported

    @eBay @AskeBay I need assistance on a seller issue ASAP, I've called in 3 times and received no help, can I be DM'd or speak with the appeals/resolution department?

  • Joe_L_20 Joe L (@Joe_L_20) reported

    @DudeheresMakar @CardPurchaser Thank you. I was looking for advice on how to handle as I have been beat on eBay before, just not at this price point. Great feedback on taking pics in case of an issue. I am going to do that. Exactly the feedback I was looking for

  • DudeheresMakar BOOM ² (@DudeheresMakar) reported

    @Joe_L_20 @CardPurchaser We ALL started at 0 on eBay. Could be a person just getting back into the hobby. Could be someone just getting into the hobby. If they paid, I don’t see an issue. If you are worried, take pics of the card before packing and how it’s packed in case there is an issue on delivery.

    @cheryl_kernot Just saying … very little sympathy for a dude who fleeced Job keeper & advocated for tax on eBay just the tip of the iceberg … a tip for you ! “be careful who you tread on on the way up as they are the ones you pass on the way down !!”

  • algAUTHENTICS_ algAUTHENTICS 🥶 (@algAUTHENTICS_) reported

    @AllAmericanATT @eBay @AskeBay Haha, but really. Desktop site seems to be down. Maybe they're about to launch a shill bid like never before seen!
