eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jofell Jofell Gallardo (@jofell) reported

    @NintendoAmerica you made #XenobladeChronicles3 ultra sough-after for scalpers because you had it sold on your uber slow store. If you only had them sold in Amazon, things would've been better for us fans. You gotta restock coz eBay is teeming with scalped purchases now.

  • Drensch2 Douglas Rensch II (@Drensch2) reported

    @antdude92 Seeing all it's against eBay TOS. And anyone buying this is the problem

  • richardtmonroe1 adirondackoutlaw (@richardtmonroe1) reported

    @406_sports @eBay That's great. I must say, I have had pretty positive results when I've had purchase issues & gotten Ebay involved.

  • CVRW101 Chloe English (@CVRW101) reported

    @AskeBay What is going on with eBay at the moment. I’m trying to do month end and every two seconds it’s asking me to verify it’s me. In addition your live chats not working and when I had a callback all there was, was radio silence the other end!

  • FarkhandaM farkhou (@FarkhandaM) reported

    @eBay_UK @eBay @ebayuk. Absolute worst service. Rang 4 times now. Phone put down. No explanation. No reasoning. First time in 13 years tried to sell used ikea table. Someone hacked my account and this person has set up other accounts and can use. Me and my family cannot. No one helps

  • ThoughtsMalik Ahsan Malik (@ThoughtsMalik) reported

    @eBay_UK @Dave_8113 Same issue here. It is not just you. Ebay have been besieged by faults recently.

  • TimPello Tim P (@TimPello) reported

    @trylolli I have a confession. Is it wrong that when Say someone has to buy things for my, I mean their work on eBay, I, I mean They! Login in to @trylolli first and get the Sats back for themselves??? Definitely asking for a friend… not myself.

  • kookykewpie ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 🌹 (@kookykewpie) reported

    sliding down the wall clutching my heart because the skorts on ebay are not my size

  • 0000Sue Susan Crawley (@0000Sue) reported

    @BootstrapCook @chris_cw51 The problem with charity shops is they get too many donations and not enough customers. I sell on eBay. I believe Facebook Marketplace is good too.

  • violenceprotest Violence&Protest (@violenceprotest) reported

    I just went through hell with a broken leg, to attain another rare piece, only 7000 left on the planet. Everyone wants $12k to $26K, after weeks and weeks of predominantly white dudes who work for ebay shill bidding and harassing me, I had to let it go for $5400

  • Augsburg36 Augsburg (Italien Edition) 😼 (@Augsburg36) reported

    @MarquisDAnitwt @raspeguy33 The problem is that all the guys on eBay who sell the good Soviet milsurp are in the Ukraine.

  • dippizuka Alex Walker (@dippizuka) reported

    @womanontherun @H0NEYRIVER australia, not US, although one of our biggest states just banned swasitkas last week. given most of these listings are from Amazon, Etsy and eBay, who are responsible for their category pages, I'd say it's on them and Google to fix edge case SEO scenarios like this.

  • alexfkraus Alex Kraus 🇯🇵🔙 (@alexfkraus) reported

    I don't want to open a second "personal" account account just to have that back so I guess I'll be using some alternative. Maybe that's the point. I know their stock's down; they must be hurting for business since the divorce from eBay.

  • Lord_Mangoat Mangoat (@Lord_Mangoat) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo better have another day to order this. I am NOT paying scalper prices. Customers who legitimately want to own this should not have to go to a scalper. Nintendo needs to step up, fix their site, & stay on top of eBay. Don’t allow the game to ever be listed on it.

  • ExBatsforEver Julie Smith (@ExBatsforEver) reported

    I hadn’t used @eBay for so long and to be quite honest, I wish I’d never decided to start again. I’ve had nothing but trouble with it! Not as simple as it used to be. Now the parcels haven’t been collected by Evri. Why can’t they get their act together, so frustrating.

  • FarkhandaM farkhou (@FarkhandaM) reported

    @eBay_UK @ebay @eBayUK_news treating genuine customers like criminals and not allowing us to be a part of the selling community for no reason, yet expecting us to buy is low. And the customer service is disgusting having phone put down repeatedly

  • sentences424 sentences424 (@sentences424) reported

    So I wanna puke jesus christ lord in spurts said it sux ebay has yet to void warp sucks please put down is ******** it's

  • PooleSide Poole (@PooleSide) reported

    on god if ebay allows people to put the xenoblade special edition up at all on their website. ebay allows this problem to happen

  • BlingCharts *BLiNG (@BlingCharts) reported

    @eBay @shitipatel avoiding the issue again?

  • SmirkwoodSprite 𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵 𝓢𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓪𝓻 (@SmirkwoodSprite) reported

    @notcapnamerica @brianbeutler If any of us were this terrible at our jobs we'd be selling our **** on eBay for rent money.

  • kateweb Kate W (@kateweb) reported

    Have dug far too deep into eBay and fallen down a series of IKEA hacks rabbit holes tonight. Have I tidied up? No.

  • FarkhandaM farkhou (@FarkhandaM) reported

    @eBay_UK @eBay_UK I have spoken to eBay. They’ve said they can’t tell me why, but it’s restricted. Giving restraining order details, crime reference no. Only to have put phone down on me repeatedly

  • 406_sports Cards & Cardio (@406_sports) reported

    @richardtmonroe1 @eBay I was kind of shocked, I had never pulled them into an issue like this but pretty pleased for sure

  • MrSlingsh0t SlingSh0t (@MrSlingsh0t) reported

    @SoleSneeker @tradeblock_us Bro @ebaysneakers is the worst with that! Prices set waaaay over market. My only issue with eBay lately!

  • dragonblade_901 Tankblade (탱크블레이드) @Music Request Planning (@dragonblade_901) reported

    @NoponDigi If that's on ebay I'm pretty sure they have a policy where posting items for sale that have yet to be released is against policy. Valve took advantage of that back when Steamdeck pre-orders first opened and had them taken down. Maybe if people voiced this to Nintendo they can 1/2

  • ShurtugalTCG Skul (@ShurtugalTCG) reported

    Anyone have a good lead on where to get retro gaming magazines? Specifically PSM (U.S. PlayStation Magazine) issues? eBay seems to be a lot more barren for PSM than it is for Nintendo Power.

  • Thegamingfoodie Jonathon 506 (@Thegamingfoodie) reported

    @spartan523_ @chargasm I’d trust ebay second more then in store second hand tbh and im thinking of trying to fix this one. It’s broke so what’s the worst I can do to it haha

  • MarquisDAnitwt ❄️ Piffie🇻🇦🍵 (@MarquisDAnitwt) reported

    @Augsburg36 @raspeguy33 I was so close to buying jackboots last year, I seriously thought civil war was imminent and I was trying to put together survival gear to make it through a grid-down winter alive. Where’d you get yours, eBay?

  • FarkhandaM farkhou (@FarkhandaM) reported

    @eBay_UK @eBay_UK @eBay your numbers. Agents. All say same thing. Can’t tell me why. There’s a back office that won’t speak to me. No reason given. Won’t look at my details. And then put phone down or end chat.

  • BadTakeJustin Tag Specalist (@BadTakeJustin) reported

    @WatchTheBreaks this is an error card should I make panini replace meant to be a tri color instead of base. Or throw up on eBay as the vaunted rare 1/1 error card for thousands lmao
