  • ArtistBuilds Lives in the trees (@ArtistBuilds) reported

    New Ebay record? Slow morning here. I was online newsing (reading the paper) and coffee. My phone goes kaching noise and I printed that label boxed it and had it at USPS in 20 minutes! Lol

  • EspysCards Espy's Cards (@EspysCards) reported

    hi @AskeBay According to @USPSHelp they are unable to follow up on the tracking numbers provided on #eBay envelopes (ESUSXXXXXXX). Who do we contact to resolve any issues???

  • Simply_Mox (Injured event!) Moxxie (@Simply_Mox) reported

    @J0urneygal //Pfft, why would I spend money on a pry tool when I have cheap, terrible ebay ones and a pocket knife? That's how I opened my ipod up.

  • DDahlars Dennis Dahlars (@DDahlars) reported

    @Sonos An abundant supply of USED SONOS stuff on EBay, supply chain issues mean zero stock so get em used , folks are more than willing to sell em refurbished or Pre-owned

  • CraftyJas Jasmine (@CraftyJas) reported

    It turns out this may NOT be on Royal Mail after all, my buyer arranged an additional shipping service themself which gets a terrible star rating. If they’ve lost the parcel there’s basically nothing I can do. eBay will not help me unfortunately.

  • sunshinecafe_ Rachel⁷ 🍊 (@sunshinecafe_) reported

    I’m considering getting another keyboard that has hangul also on it bc my home-made stickers are not sticking to my keys and idk if getting proper keyboard stickers would also be an issue?? anyway I found an eBay seller selling the bt21 keyboards and I can’t decide

  • Uaskt Marchesa Neroli (@Uaskt) reported

    @eBay is there an outage? why cant i update listings?

  • ElaniKitten Queen Kitten 👑 (@ElaniKitten) reported

    okay, so someone v dear to me has been swindled out of $800 by buying a ps5 from eBay seller ace137-us. basically he ordered the ps5, received an empty box, and the seller SWORE up and down he sent it and someone must have stolen it so he's under no obligation to return the money

  • Pathfinder4K Phillip Kincaid (@Pathfinder4K) reported

    @CryptosR_Us It’s always an issue with gamers since 2017 when you had a hard time finding cards back when the great pump of late 2017. Plus the miners would dump their old video cards on eBay without letting the buyers know. Most didn’t last within a year.

  • JulietEchoChar1 Juliet-Echo-Charlie (@JulietEchoChar1) reported

    @surf107 @ColdWarPod @GdrRadio Envy + eBay = space problem

  • edwardmccranor1 Edward McCranor (@edwardmccranor1) reported

    I was just about to write a tweet saying “closing in on my 1st no sale day since 6th January” then a £90 sales comes in, the eBay gods are look down on me. The streak continues.

  • StevenSankey88 Steven (@StevenSankey88) reported

    Whenever I sell something expensive on eBay I get terrible anxiety about the buyer receiving the package and being unhappy with the product (I feel the same but less so with regular priced items). It's such a relief when I hear everything's ok.

  • SoleImprint Sole Imprint (@SoleImprint) reported

    @QuanFlix_ Everything used I need to move is sitting because they always have a problem with something In the pic. Might as well just use my light box and post on eBay

  • TowardsDawn Samhain (@TowardsDawn) reported

    I don't see a problem w/ selling on eBay, but getting several copies of something some fans couldn't even try to buy with the sole intention to sell them for more is... Not a great look, loves.

  • BryanBagstad Bryan Bagstad (@BryanBagstad) reported

    @PJHughes45 At least they seem to be cracking down on non-paying buyers. Ebay on the other hand...

  • joey_epps Chiautographguy (@joey_epps) reported

    @UOducks4 @PJHughes45 This would be the best addition to @eBay in the history of eBay. If the funds aren’t available to pay, you don’t get to bid/purchase. It would eliminate so many problems for honest sellers.

  • RadiclUnionist David 🏴❤ (@RadiclUnionist) reported

    I have a terrible habit of buying used union shirts on ebay. The older, the better. My wife hates it. That's all.

  • FoxandOwlGaming Fox and Owl (@FoxandOwlGaming) reported

    @RetroSetJoe This is my problem whenever I see anything on eBay. Who needs a house when I have a pretty game?

  • Jim32864509 Jim (@Jim32864509) reported

    @HardwareUnboxed @TimSchiesser @GamersNexus Incoming availability problems. I can see Ebay reselling kittens at 3x pricing.

  • pepijnpuntnl Pepijn🦥 (@pepijnpuntnl) reported

    @illieJade Lmao marktplaats(ebay) is down :(

  • MuseumRick Rick Berger (@MuseumRick) reported

    @PJHughes45 I think the issue is that the market is so volatile that the longer they let people pay the higher the chance someone backs out of a deal which isn’t fair to the seller. That being said, 48 hours seems to be what people expect because that’s what ebay gives....

  • Albeon_Draken Albeon Draken (@Albeon_Draken) reported

    @ebay Please have someone look into your gemstone listings. I went to look for zircon and was inundated by HUNDREDS of listings of cubic zirconia being sold as "natural zircon." There are currently more fraudulent listings than legit ones, some sponsored by ebay. Fix it.

  • therealestt79 thetowel28 (@therealestt79) reported

    @PS5XboxAlerts When will eBay prices drop? They haven’t gone down from 600-650 for ages

  • shirokaisen Cameron (@shirokaisen) reported

    @mczub being a verified seller on ebay does more to solve the "chain of trust" issue than anything NFTs supposedly solve

  • alanwplace Alan Place (@alanwplace) reported

    @AskeBay I would say about 95% I have no problems, it is only this month they have escalated. Selling online depends on trust, sadly over the last few years mine has been eroded - nothing to do with eBay.

  • Squacken SueQ2020 (@Squacken) reported

    @Jupiter_Sky @Tuta02816 @LiliesFilms For a new one? Not seeing it on EBay unless it's buried down in the list somewhere. I see one new one from GBR, no subtitles, for 59 pounds. Everything else I see is used.

  • ValiantWatch Valiant Watch (@ValiantWatch) reported

    @DanSchwent Yeah this was my first time reading em, came across those 2 and a Millar issue of Flash for a good deal on ebay figured, why not? I'll probably just sell em after I collect the whole Trial of the Flash cuz now that I've started it gotta finish it right?

  • bruno_miorin Bruno Miorin (@bruno_miorin) reported

    @eBay today I've received an email claiming to be from ebay with a sale. On my app everything is as it should with item displayed as sold, paid for and ready to be shipped. No money on PayPal though. Not sure where the issue is. PAYPAL told me to contact you

  • evilmastergamer Carlo - 邪之推手 (@evilmastergamer) reported

    @sedjtroll @jameystegmaier Taobao is China’s counterpart of eBay. Anyone could easily set up a storefront on it. And yes, counterfeiting product, in general, is an issue there, and it’s much worse than counterfeits on Amazon.

  • honkforhankcon ✨vitamin K🍌🍦 (@honkforhankcon) reported

    @caedesdeo it's super frustrating and unfortunate but I guess there's really nothing we can do 🙃 over here in the states I had an eBay package go missing COMPLETELY in Texas and when I contacted USPS they were like you have to pay us to track it down and I was like lmfao what ********!!!
