Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Lewis, William... William (@WillLewis_1976) reported@angrytoothpick All you have to do is contact eBay and let them know that the buyer never contacted you to give you the opportunity to resolve the issue before leaving negative feedback. Most of the time eBay will then remove it.

Thirsty’s New and Used (@SudduthPhillip) reported@SamuelMunroe @ClassicComics3 I’ve only seen them in the wild a couple of times. Mostly I hit antique shops for this stuff. Maybe I’ll do EBay when I get down to where I only need a couple to complete. If I see them the Hitchcock Investigators I’ll definitely grab them.

Radiating Spirit (@armpit__enjoyer) reportedI have a very foidian ebay problem

Lxrollie (@lxrollie_) reported@PoliteDKnight @eBay I have had similar problems it’s difficult to get more than 30% refund but that is their max keeps calling ask for authentication don’t wait for them to call you they damaged my gold zard and only refunded me like $100 and gave me a coupon but I got the zard for $200 basically LP
-
Ryan (@RyanCaseCLE) reported@Richard_Colo @eBay I’ve had so many @eBay issues being a seller similar to this, was a seller since ‘05 and walked away due to unfair treatment of sellers and piss poor customer service.
-
Forever (@SpyTactics) reportedi did the design research and it was difficult, so I did something in the day, and I will do that other thing i was going to do soon also. When the ebay scam is delivered, if it is, I can try to resolve that, and that is basically the only issue of the month now?
-
C H I N A 🍓 (@thesportychi) reported@quinnysoda It’s OK it happens. I’m pretty sure if I do decide to get it down the line I can find it on eBay.
-
The Hot Rock (@aebgiven) reportedHas anyone had issue with an @eBay account getting suspended out of the blue for no discernible reason? I have never sold anything and my last transactions have been non-events. I have no recourse, no way to petition or escalate. This is super upsetting!
-
marj 🍰🌙 #pregnantlightyagamitwt (@pastelcyaniide) reported@lesbianlawmane I got her on ebay but def overpayed a bit 😔 She has a broken arm ans leg which is my fault cuz i had no clue these were so brittle
-
Alex Callara (@Alex_Callara) reported@pray4goodpulls So is it actually worth it to send a card from eBay directly to PSA? Legitimately asking because I’ve seen it on many cards I’ve bought and have felt like some could’ve been a 10 but didn’t want to spend the extra money and get let down lmao
-
🇮🇪 Forgetful Hatter 🎩 (@ForgetfulHatter) reported@Boldyboy1975 its cheap for a reason lmao. years ago i got struck with one crappy scammy deal from ebay. which was refunded. but now i tear through every bit of text to make sure they aren't sending me a couch even a mouse would have trouble with lmao.
-
Nicholas Holcomb (@NickHolcomb) reported@AMHE613 @nickthegingy @CardPurchaser it would not get past ebay if that was an issue with the card.
-
John T (@John48231) reported@MeaCulpaaa What type of battery is it? I have 3 Yamaha Ebikes and they all work great. I did have a problem with one battery failing after a year but it was replaced under warranty. I also bought a used battery on Ebay for £100 which works great, there are some bargains out there.
-
Habitadam (@habitadam) reported@ACTBLUEPHAG @Sejohnn @alecttrona I got mine on eBay, had no issues.
-
Justin Martinez (@Justintohoops) reported@BBallNotebook It's sold out, but it's a Nike Standard Issue crewneck. Best bet would be to hope it pops up on eBay. There are a few on there for other teams, but no OKC ones.
-
Run 📈 (@romantradez) reported@harkl_ That’s Solana’s problem right now and probably the reason we’re witnessing the lowest organic activity I’ve ever seen. Normal users pay for the mistakes. I’ve always wondered why successful web2 eco systems, eBay, Amazon prioritise buyers (users) over sellers (builders) while blockchains adopt an inverse strategy
-
JAM92 (@JAM92_) reported@PoliteDKnight @eBay @eBay you should make this right. Give this person their money back and let them keep the card for the trouble you caused.
-
Paul (@dnbinvestor) reported@IndexAndForget Paid £6k for my Submariner back in 2020. I could’ve sold it on ebay the next day for £10k. That’s why there are 2 year waiting lists for them. They have come down a bit in value recently though but long term you’ll never lose money on one plus it’s a nice item to pass down in the future with memories attached to it.
-
ian | iK9 🐾 (@iK9cards) reportedWow @eBay is this really what we’re going? How has this issue continued happening after a multitude of similar complaints? How is this acceptable to damage a card and not refund the buyer because of your insecure process?
-
Will (@wiggleee_w0rm) reported@dizzy_dman Depends. From the actual team, hit or miss? Actually from someone like eBay, definitely stanky Recently received a Thrashers jersey (rip) and the jersey smelled like cheap cologne. Was terrible. Received another game worn jersey and there was a stain that got progressively worse
-
j🌞 (@soanajantos) reported@eBay_UK Hi, I’m in another country, not using a VPN, and can’t login to eBay as it shows the “Pardon Our Interruption” message. I have messages I need to reply to. How can I login?
-
PlayerBucket (@PlayerBucket) reported@PoliteDKnight @eBay I would use GameStop and ship directly to PSA from @gamestop . Never have a problem this way.

♻️Λ𝙉𝙏𝙃⓪𝙉▽♻️ (@Daeyewanaknow) reported@LikeToBeBossy I buy physical too off eBay with voucher codes.. but i seldom get PS essential, wait till it runs down and then buy Extra or Premium at a discount.
-
CD² (@Cryptic_Dollar) reported@premiercards_2 I’ve never promoted my listings and I don’t seem to have any issues on views. I’ve thought about it but never tried it don’t see the point when my cards normally sale within a couple days of listening. I am a eBay OG though and have been on there for years and don’t know matters

cristalsmash (@cristalsmash) reportedHey @AskeBay @eBay, check your DMs. I sent everything for Order 02-14182-12220 but you guys just left me on read. I have a swollen battery here (FIRE HAZARD) and Marc already approved the manual refund (Transcript 169268534005). Stop ignoring a safety issue and finish the refund.
-
Dad is FIRE 🔥 (@DadisFIRE) reportedOne of the primary ways I paid for my worthless degrees in college was by selling stuff on ebay, and then going down the street to Circuit City and buying the things, then shipping them off. Sometimes you just gotta do things instead of sitting around wishing or worse yet, complaining.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay I did a sell similar on that listing to see what the seller had entered - 9 lbs, 20 x 20 x 12. If you plug that into the USPS retail postage calculator using the zip code for seller location & buyer zip in your screenshot, it does come out to $74.27 for the click & ship rate. So that means the eBay calculator is working correctly for the info provided. USPS has made some recent changes that cause the rates to go up pretty significantly depending on dimensions - for example that same 9 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 12 would only be $14.92. I'm guessing some of the sellers you're seeing with high prices may have historically padded their dimensions a bit in effort to avoid shipping adjustments after the fact & they may not realize it is affecting their pricing much more now than it may have in the past. There could certainly be other instances where the issue is an error on eBay's part but when it comes to something like this example, really the only thing eBay could do to address it is to maybe have a warning advising sellers to review their listings for correct weight & dimensions - or to consider adding other shipping methods, like the flat rate options you mentioned. Ultimately though it's up to the seller to make sure they are entering correct info & to decide which shipping options they want to offer.

John J Harrington (@JohnJHarring22) reported@22CCnews Yes I sold my season tickets on eBay for the low price off. $25 and it took hours to sell my problem is the Lying ***** C.C. I was her biggest fan but all she did was lie .

novi (@noviloh) reported@Catscollecttcg Not sure if it's a USPS issue, but one of my orders in eBay still says USPS is awaiting item after departing shipping partner facility lol
