    Just went back in my chat and saw that I have been trying to solve my @eBay problem since Nov 10th. Now their response is the problem is over 30 days old. This is insane.

    @CardPurchaser I did for quite a while, but after a few months USPS decided to just completely change their minds on a whim on what they would ship and deliver via EBay Stnd Env. I was extremely consistent on how I packed and shipped cards via that option and all of a sudden after months with no issues, I was getting cards sent back to me right and left. It was a mess. I just completely gave up on offering that shipping option. No consistency whatsoever on USPS part. I’ll never offer that option again. Mind you I was shipping basically all $15-$20 cards using this method, not $.50-$1 cards.

    PREV - confirmed this. Also there is no GPS or delivery photo and out CCTV and Ring doorbell show no such visit to the door. Please can you update the tracking to show this has not been delivered as this will cause an issue if I do need to claim with eBay. happy to speak on phone

    @LiveChatCStday I’ve been a customer of Ebay 20 years with out issue

  • Davidifedayooba David Ifedayo Oba (@Davidifedayooba) reported

    99% of Etsy, Shopify & eBay stores fail because the owner is guessing instead of operating from data. Your analytics already tells you what to fix, traffic source, bounce rate, abandoned carts. You just need someone who can interpret it.

  • crabfish1 Joseph Zucco (@crabfish1) reported

    @konstructivizm eventually, someone will chase it down and try selling it on Ebay.

  • 8oopie8 Upi (@8oopie8) reported

    @kereghan I bought a few off eBay before the cracked down on them

  • ShemuelFjb47won Shemuel שמואל (@ShemuelFjb47won) reported

    @RivvyGenx I have too many . I have shoulder problems so I'll probably put on eBay

  • CHDAngelMom Casi Kruse (@CHDAngelMom) reported

    So, APPARENTLY @eBay allows sellers to #DELETE negative feedback - for LEGIT fraudulent / fake items - if the seller requests it, so MY question is….. What’s the POINT of asking for / encouraging ratings & feedback?! I bought something that was marketed as 10k solid gold & I’ll just say, I paid A LOT. It felt SO CHEAP, I took it to a local jeweler for appraisal & she confirmed it was PLATED & valued at MAYBE $30. THEN, when I told the seller I wanted a refund, he said the APPRAISER was at fault & “likely uneducated” & told me to ship it directly to HIM instead of going through eBay Returns, saying he would only issue a credit “upon receipt” I included screenshots of the messages & current gold rates that prove they over inflated the value (by 4,600%) AND THEY CAN JUST DELETE THE REVIEW SO THAT IT DOESN’T HURT THEIR RATING?! SERIOUSLY?!??!? What complete GARBAGE!!

    @eBay_UK @eBay @AskeBay #ebay run by bots! CS agents largely clueless wth different info given depending on who you speak to! Bottom line, if you have a problem, do not expect any of the humans to be able to help! #useless not the platform it used to be!,

  • sdilley14 Shane Dilley (@sdilley14) reported

    @BreakerCulture @AskeBay @ebay Please address this. Every day high end cards arrive to buyers like this. Poor visual presentation and great chance for damage. I get anxiety opening these boxes just knowing the card will be out of the sleeve. Please fix this or explain why it’s not being fixed.

  • popcollector95 Robert (@popcollector95) reported

    I am trying to contact #SpookyEmpire and they just have terrible customer service. They just will not get back to me at all on eBay.

  • Bex724 Blinky Bill (@Bex724) reported

    EBay booted me out, asked me to sign in verifying my phone number. It then asked to verify further with photo or fingerprint! Seems like the social media ban has given platforms ideas! Looks like its back to 100% shopping locally. This government is sending us back 30 years. 🤬

  • joestakx Joe at StakX (@joestakx) reported

    Anyone ever get denied an @eBay developer account? @AskeBay can you help please your form is broken and I’ve got a very legitimate use case.

  • KyleMansbridge 𝙆𝙔𝙇𝙀 𝙈𝘼𝙉𝙎𝘽𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙂𝙀 (@KyleMansbridge) reported

    We seem to have settled at 19% cost of sale on eBay now. I want to see this come down further with @eBay_UK’s support. Businesses are paying a lot to use the site. 1. eBay Top Rated Seller: needs restructuring and modernising. Define a Top Rated Seller. For me it’s someone who sells a lot on site and has good buyer satisfaction metrics. Couldn’t care less if it’s free postage, 30 day returns. No one offers this anymore. 2. eBay Business Fees: needs an overhaul. eBay should only charge a fee on the item’s net value. This is not currently happening. We should not be paying eBay fees on postage costs and international sales tax. Especially now we pay VAT on all of this as well because of a bright spark idea to open the UK arm just at a higher expense to businesses. 3. Private Sellers/Businesses: We were promised that eBay would start removing private sellers operating as businesses or at least force them on to business accounts. How much longer is this going to take? It’s simple, set clear parameters on site. As businesses we have a set amount we can list. Why can’t private accounts be capped at 30 listings a month and a yearly cap of £1000? If you buy and sell, you’re a business. A true private account is someone that sells their personal second hand goods. Old phone. Old clothes. Old console. Someone that has over 1000 items is a business. Someone that films themself at auctions buying stock to resell is a business especially when they define themselves as dealers and businessmen. eBay have a duty to report these individuals to HMRC. Do your job, support your business sellers.

    @KellyKilljoyTN Still have 3 sets of lawn jarts. Sold two on eBay before getting flagged and taken down. Imagine not one of us ever getting hurt. Still play at family/friend gatherings.

    @LiveChatCStday I could not reach ebay because they only asked questions not pertaining to my issue and couldn’t find a legitimate phone #

    @CardPurchaser Did you know that you can get pricing on your sports cards directly from eBay within the eBay app? Click on "My eBay" tab. Scroll down to "scan cards" under the Shortcuts section. Scan in or upload an image of a card and it will show all eBay sales for that card.

    @BreakerCulture I see examples of this daily is there anyone at eBay authentication that sees this? that knows about this? This is a really easy fix

  • squints81 Squints (@squints81) reported

    @eBay Issued a return and had issues with a seller and no help from eBay support at all.

  • 0riginalfeet 0riginalFeet, LLC (@0riginalfeet) reported

    @eBay It is scary how this is being handled! I was forced into receiving a defect, loss of goods, loss of money, mainly because a hold was placed on this claim that required me to contact you, I have, but cannot on the phone! So how do I fix it? Nobody is offering me a solution.

    @shitpost_2049 I wanted to watch a 1972 film the other day. If I wanted to "stream" it was going to cost me about £3.50 (and would probably have ads in that somewhere). Went on eBay, £1.99 for the DVD, no ads, no problems, just watched the film....simple. 👍

  • UltraMagaManda America1stManda🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 (@UltraMagaManda) reported

    Once again it seems I will be Ghosted by @eBay while they limit my reach by 70% and if I'm lucky enough to make a sale they take 6% more than usual for fees. They refuse to fix this and even accused me of using Profanity for asking to talk to an American at an Ameican Company.

  • bti111 Neal G (@bti111) reported

    @eBay anyone expecting buyer protection from Paypal well it’s a waste of time. If you file a claim with PayPal Ebay will not even try and help with your problem.

  • maxclark Max Clark (@maxclark) reported

    @AskeBay I know it’s not supported - it’s frustrating that eBay refuses to fix this

  • Unbetbee Sopor (@Unbetbee) reported

    @OWCavalry My issue with this skin is how ugly Cassidy is in OW2 maybe it's how he looks like he hasn't showered in 15 years. Plus his hair in this mythic looks like a wig he got off of ******* eBay 🙄

  • tristanfey Craig Christensen (@tristanfey) reported

    @Power_Of_Tien @Atalay24A @screenrant This isn't an Ebay auction. Shareholders consider offers and can go with any they wish, even a lower offer if they see a bigger upside down the road. This also means they can change their mind at any time as long as they haven't started signing the agreements.
