eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Todd Dailey (@twid) reported@jessfraz Current mac minis support ssh unlock before boot, and also do automatic power on after power restore, they are a great little box. you can just agentically manage them. Your data and logins stay on that box, which is nice. macOS is a UNIX and has lots and lots of command line tools to manage it. @steipete himself has made tools like Peekaboo, imsg, and discrawl which are useful on a Mac. Overall it's a super solid OpenClaw or Hermes Agent home server. I also run SecuritySpy (NVR) and HomeBridge on mine, so it basically runs the house. And, if you connect your agent to telegram you have a chatbot that knows you that you can talk to and it gets an answer from your home fast internet versus whatever crappy mobile connection you have. The issue right now of course is that you can't get one, and you haven't been able to get one for months. Next best option is a refurb MacBook Neo for $599, or an M1 Mac Mini 16GB looks to be about $400 on ebay and would work well.

Mr Hankey (@hivanchi) reported@paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

Chris Swanski (@ChrisSwanski) reported@CoCCollectibles Yeah. Still nice though. Don't feel bad. I owned THE Brady card for a minute in 2004. Got it for $400 from Ebay back when the photos were usually terrible. Seller said it was NM, but I couldn't tell from the pics. I trusted him. It wasn't NM, so I sold it at a loss.

Raffe Winston (@winston_raffe) reported@middle_class_us If the world changes you either change or adapt to it. Our live in nanny / housekeeper goes to area goodwills and looks for vintage clothes to sell on eBay. She also works 1-2 nights a week at Dennys. Stop complaining or act. She is close to a starter home down payment.

Germainrain (@germainraine) reported@cmpayneful @GameStopOnChain Consider this a rabbit hole, but if you choose to go down, will lead to more… like XRP. Surprisingly this stuff connected to Epstein, which is why the DOJ is gonna be important. If I were to guess I think eBay was permitting trafficking kids likewise to JP Morgan

josh (@NIPTXCK) reported@TYRISPRINT iphone 5c if you’re into the colors, 5s if you want something slightly** faster, better camera, and touch id. i bought a 6s on ebay and didn’t have any problems, but it’s important you check that the seller has an overall good rating. you should be fine.

Han Akamatsu 赤松 (@Han_Akamatsu) reported$GME GameStop’s preliminary Q2 FY2026 numbers are out: 1) So revenue looks ugly at first glance, down roughly 18–20% YoY. But GameStop specifically attributes that to the prior year Nintendo Switch 2 launch, planned store closures, and divesting its French operations. 2) The much more interesting number is operating income. They’re expecting $150–170M versus $66.4M last year, meaning operating profit has more than doubled despite materially lower revenue. 3) There’s an important caveat with that $290/310M net income, though. It isn’t all coming from GameStop’s underlying retail business. GameStop says Q2 includes approximately: +$238M net gains related to its eBay derivative/equity investment −$75M loss on digital assets and related receivables. So we shouldn’t look at $300M net income and conclude the core business suddenly generated $300M. 4) And that huge decline from $8.694B → $5.06B cash/securities isn’t simply GameStop burning $3.6B. A major reason is that GameStop converted its eBay derivative exposure into direct eBay equity, which moves those assets out of the cash/cash-equivalents/marketable-securities bucket shown here. 5) The most important number here is the operating income of $150–170M, on only $780–800M revenue. At the midpoint, that’s roughly: $160M / $790M = 20.3% operating margin. Versus: $66.4M / $972.2M = 6.8% last year. That’s a massive margin expansion. That operating income jump is arguably the strongest part of these prelims. Full Q2 results are currently scheduled for September 8. *TLDR: Revenue ↓ -19% Operating income ↑ +141% Net income ↑ +78% Operating margin 6.8% → 20%

TashiChihuahua (@TashiChihuahua) reported@KXAN_News It's becoming like eBay: used, imperfect items marked down 5% from brand-new prices. "That hoodie may still be new at the mall- but yours is missing the strings, has a hole in the back and a stain on the front- plz tell me how you think you deserve $58 for this"

Yogi bond bear (@BondYogibear) reported@TheLongApe Rate cuts don’t have anything to do with fixed rates .. hope you understand that and that they failed when rates were 2.5 .. that’s an excuse as is price . The issue with house flipping is you have to buy low and sell high right in the face of the consumer . Hey let me buy that painting off you and it’s on eBay for double an hour later. Good luck .. the call options are almost free right now for next year .. I would rather own something a little closer to making me money. What if rates move even higher for the next two years?

Boogie (@boogiex632) reported@JesseBallCards @eBay @CardPurchaser Of course, and eBay is great about removing if there was an error or it’s just a disgruntled buyer but you did everything right. But I’m going to guess you didn’t ship something or cancelled an order to save yourself a few bucks. That violates TOS & will stay with you.

Kevin Durham ✝️ 🕎 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 (@KevinDurham321) reported@benonwine I got a set of glasses for three quid of ebay that cut the blue-light down to a bearable level. German manufactures like BMW started this crazy escalatory battle of headlight brightness. Legislation is needed.

Jared Bray (@tresamigos858) reported@melvo24 eBay fees! Promoted listings- you can choose what percentage you want to pay from your listing in exchange for eBay promoting your items Below standard fees are if you are a below standard seller. This has to do with performance metrics (defects, unresolved issues, late shipping etc) and extra fees are charged to sellers who fall into the below standard seller ranking.
-
Brendale Sportscards (@BFritz09) reported@premiercards_2 Nope. You are wrong on all accounts. I’m emotional? I can’t with you. You are a trip. Then stop responding and move on with your day. I have no problem with PSA per se. It’s just a poor policy. Any chance although you can tell me how PSA reviews the eBay cards?

Inquisitor Arkimund (@Arkimund) reportedAfter many months of losing the spark due to some personal issues, its time to get back on the horse and crack on, part out of spite towards geebubs, part as it needs to happen. Painting wise we got a kill team of legionnaires, renegade more than full on, a Vindicare assassin, big bobby G (backpack bit broke off but it was an ebay snipe) as well as myself (there are layers to this irony. And though a legends model in its own right; **** it)

Fatdad Dirk 🏴☠️ (@FatdadDirk) reportedInterest income and eBay gains don’t create operating income. Sales down ~19%. Operating income up ~141% at midpoint. You can criticize the dilution all you want. Pretending there hasn’t been an operating turnaround is getting pretty hard though. $GME

BigboyJuju (@BigboyJuju) reportedGameStop just amended the convertible-note exchange. They were going to pay the whole $1.4B in stock, using a 35-day average price. Today they cut that short. Noteholders now get about 55.5 million GME shares and about $358 million in cash. That’s 55.5 million new shares going to the funds that held the 2030 and 2032 notes - not a public offering. They also dropped preliminary Q2 numbers in the same filing: 👉 sales down versus last year’s Switch 2 quarter 👉 operating profit up 👉 cash now in the $5.05–5.07B range after they converted the eBay position into about 43.4 million actual eBay shares September 3rd is the date to watch. That’s when this is slated to close. 👀 cc: @gamestop @ryancohen @TheRoaringKitty $GME

EF Comix (@11975MHz) reportedHad an Air Force family live down the street from me. The oldest son was the neighborhood know-it-all and show-off. Of course, he had the nicest, most expensive bike among all the kids. Mongoose had a deal going with military exchanges, and last time I visited the nearest base commissary, they still do. Anyway this kid had a Mongoose. The Blue Max branded Mongoose. About two years later his dad was caught doing PCS fraud. Lost his commission. Had to sell his prize 1960s Corvette he kept in the garage. Had to sell the house pronto because the Air Force yanked his BAH the day they yanked his commission. They even tried to give away a Hawaiian vacation to whoever bought that stupid house, the poor fools. They never sold it. They defaulted. They showed up in town a few years later, the entire family riding motorcycles. They had no home anymore, so they just rode motorcycles, as a family, around the United States. Anyway if you still have your Mongoose or Hutch or Redline, they go for a lot of money on Ebay now.

Jesse BallCards (@JesseBallCards) reported@boogiex632 @eBay @CardPurchaser And absolutely not. See this is what happens when you assume. Guy low balled over $100 on a Caleb slab. It was so ridiculous I thought he was a seller trying to offload inventory and I accepted. I immediately realized the error and refunded.

Amal (@lamamals) reportedThe masses were hurling rocks at their leaders when one of the protesters realized he could make a living off them instead. He gathered every stone he could find and went home to list them on eBay as “ROCKS OF WAR.” The listing was taken down at the leaders’ command, and he found himself back on the battlefield, with the same worthless rocks. 'Just a Rock', available as part of the Match Boxes collection. Reserve: 0.026e

Bp Collection (@BpCollectionArt) reported@BarcodeBananza @Han_Akamatsu They need to evolve or get left behind. They can make their own eBay, it’s only web software and they have the shipping network using stores. PSA is always in the news for some type of fraud with customers cards, plus the cost to other companies is expensive and slow.
