eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DraughtJane Trans Gruber (@DraughtJane) reported

    @POTUS Rich don’t care. They have ways of making taxes a non-issue. Taxes usually impact the working class and people trying to get by. Like the people waiting tables or someone forced to sell stuff on EBay to try to make a rent payment.

  • JonnyIROC Cody Hall (@JonnyIROC) reported

    @St1ka I still regret not buying a copy. I didn't realize that there were paying customers out there that NEVER received a copy. I talked a guy down to $870 on ebay for one the other night!

  • goreyprincesss 𝐒.𖤐 (@goreyprincesss) reported

    @WHOKILLEDNANI @newplayascircle @tasteoftatyy "How old are we fr" ***** didn't you try to insult a phone? Which you look slow asf. Because there are more phones out there other than Apple. You ain't rich here juss bc you rockin an iPhone baby. You CAN'T spell, and you're hair is giving EBAY. so stfu-💀

  • PCBAssembly99 PCBAssembly99 (@PCBAssembly99) reported

    @infidelity_nes When buying them off ebay. A seller had a bad batch. Two out of three of the boards had a problem. The seller sent out replacements +1free, the next day.

  • perfectllover alex (@perfectllover) reported

    @sadbeautifulseb it’s kinda like ebay but i’ve never had a problem

  • jairtzinio jairtzinio ortiz (@jairtzinio) reported

    @AskeBay I was told by ebay that they would resolve my issue and we're now about to enter our second week but I still can't get an answer or solution.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I know the bbc said before until 2024. But when you see how quick sd watchers take up the free upgrade offer from sky for a Q box or ebay for hd both only shows how quick this small problem is resolved.

  • tycornet swizzles13 (@tycornet) reported

    My heart is officially broken I didn’t get the heart shaped vinyl @taylornation this has been a terrible week for me and it’s just beginning I can’t believe I missed it and now it’s 200$ on Ebay.

  • Duke_of_Derp Duke of Derp (@Duke_of_Derp) reported

    @Inker_comics It's already broken so it wont hurt it to take apart and see what broke. you can find a ton or replacement bits online for pretty cheap. you can even get the tools off amazon ebay ect. Just watch youtube and take your time.

  • PsychedelicTony Psychedelic Tony (@PsychedelicTony) reported

    @jimmy_viz @dommodernist Taken it down Jimmy whilst I'm doing the locum work, (as sporadic as it is at the moment) the posting at lunchtime is a hassle. What usually happens is people buy stuff from the shop and then list it on discogs or ebay themselves!

  • ThatYosh Azul Yosh 🔜 TFF (@ThatYosh) reported

    @ZipFox ebay and pp: "hosting fees, buyers fees, sellers insurance, shipping fees... for your trouble, here is a shiny new nickel that we take 0.05% if you deposit it today or wait 5 days"

  • minju1k dio (@minju1k) reported

    @roseiVALO @vielmfao -vouch she burned my house down and sold my cats on ebay

  • dompyone LL (@dompyone) reported

    @PayPal it’s embarrassing to pay PayPal with a debit card to have the transaction pending, WTF is the 21st century you are painfully slow, that maybe the reason eBay do not use you anymore!

  • mason_spliff Wishing For Zonai Midna in Tears Of The Kingdom (@mason_spliff) reported

    @eBay you need to ban pre-orders COMPLETELY from your site. Your site has caused a major scalping problem that needs to be stopped. Pre-orders NEED to be banned from your site!

  • CrazyMothLady Red Rain (@CrazyMothLady) reported

    @dragmetofilth Etsy themselves are reliable but everything on there is from independent sellers so it depends on who you're ordering from. Check their reviews first. Etsy care more about buyers than sellers though (like ebay) so they'd have your back if there was a problem

  • danieljmckee Dan! McKee - housewives favourite (@danieljmckee) reported

    @sammyb36 Yeah. I have some generic eBay pair (which in typical style I’ve misplaced) which work really well. Really does help dial it all down

  • faisalmangal54 Hillary Beatriz (@faisalmangal54) reported

    @JoseRui33190986 @eBay Could someone 'link me to that defi money glitch method people have been using to generate profits???? Can't f]ind this?):`

  • milftopia smelias haha xD (@milftopia) reported

    day 3 of attempting to make a butch deloria plush: i got most of the tools, the pattern but im still missing fabrics. i put down a bid on ebay for a sewing/embroidery machine so i’m really hoping that pans out otherwise hopefully soon i’ll be making butch

  • Excelsior_of_UK CMDR ExcelsiorUK (@Excelsior_of_UK) reported

    Just spent an amusing chunk of time doom scrolling through eBay by category trying to hunt something down. My Watch list is now much longer and not a whiff of what I was actually looking for!

  • LorenzoCatalan_ Cashflow kid 💊💰💙 :(:📈 📚 (@LorenzoCatalan_) reported

    With every item selling between $20-$50. The easiest way to make money when you have little to none is reselling on eBay hands down.

  • chaicookies13 no its beccy 🕰️ (taylor’s version) (@chaicookies13) reported

    @taylornation13 Fix your website and stop letting the bots buy everything they are already on EBAY for 6x the price

  • grain_oats WholeGrainOats (@grain_oats) reported

    @BadBoyBeaman RMT isn’t a serious issue in CoD? I got my Burger King skin on eBay and Orion accounts were flipping for $1500 on launch

  • DJCards7 DJ Cards (@DJCards7) reported

    I might have to stop selling Yu-Gi-Oh cards on eBay. Literally nothing but problems from buyers. Lots of no payments, requests for a million pictures for cards under $5, people asking for constant updates on shipping when there’s tracking. Not worth the time and effort

  • VicsMovieDen Vic De Leon (@VicsMovieDen) reported

    @ajl__66 I may actually check eBay down the line. I think I'd like to own it again!

  • NeonMaxima Sosu (@NeonMaxima) reported

    The biggest issue with Ebay right now is basically them making it so that if I exceed $600 in total gross sales, I have to fill out a tax form. Its insane really.

  • ErieBooks ErieBooks (@ErieBooks) reported

    @katmansden @eBay That's from the "Spellbound" issue which is way out there

  • mitch_r23 Mitch R (@mitch_r23) reported

    @SeanRossSapp I think if you are a genuine fan and you just happen to be there and ask nicely then there shouldn't be an issue. It's these completely obvious guys with 50 action figures intended for ebay that are ***************. Tbh I would probably not even have the nerve to approach a star.

  • tnainmydna Derek Hellbasket (@tnainmydna) reported

    i really hope no ebay sellers send me offers in the next 30 minutes cause i just took a lunch break sized rip off my pen defenses are down

  • PeterJo34736673 Peter Jones (@PeterJo34736673) reported

    @badassflowerbby Not condoning this but my money means to much. I triple check every review of the product before i decide i want it over another brand & if ordering online, i do the same with the seller. This is a bigger issue on eBay but i have & will pay more to buy from an established seller.

    Anyone else having a problem submitting an instant payment today. It keeps getting kicked back. @CardPurchaser @eBay @AskeBay
