  • twodotsknowwhy Zoë 🩸🦷 (@twodotsknowwhy) reported

    @RottenInDenmark I definitely do believe that many shoplifters then turn around and sell online for profit, but the process of setting up an eBay account is so simple that I have trouble understanding why a highly organized crime ring would be necessary or beneficial?

  • ReezyResells Reezy Resells 📚 #amazonfba (@ReezyResells) reported

    @ReillyEagles @JimmyElliott @brickscanner Dymo is a terrible company that extorts its customers to use their proprietary labels for their poorly designed printer that jams incessantly. Lol No. you can get bootleg labels off eBay tho for cheaper. Get a Rollo or Zebra or Brother and then get a hammer and smash the dymo

  • marneen Marneen.com Zahavi (@marneen) reported

    @griffingulledge @eBay @AskeBay Just happened to me too. Never had a problem and no way to resolve. Plus they are holding my money.

  • josephbrett Joseph Brett (@josephbrett) reported

    @eBay_UK Hey ebay, I've just had my account of 18 years cancelled without any warning or reason, and all I'm getting from your help system is crappy template emails that don't address the issue. Any chance of an explanation here?

  • pshunter13 ps hunter (@pshunter13) reported

    Why was my eBay account suspended for no reason?? @AskeBay @eBay lots of people seem to be experiencing the same problem

  • cgill20 Chris Gill (@cgill20) reported

    @AskeBay You guys just suspended my account with no explanation, and your live chat doesn't work at all. I've had that account since eBay started, and now it's been shut down permanently for no reason. If I can't call or chat with someone to resolve this, what can I do?

  • Fred_Schmidt Fred Schmidt (@Fred_Schmidt) reported

    Completely out of the blue @eBay @AskeBay permanently suspended my account today. No explanation. No warning. Everything fully paid for. Account for 23 years with above standard seller rating. They have no phone number or email to call, and their automated support is down.

  • gendertoad sorrel @ open writing comms :) (@gendertoad) reported

    @TatataToddC @GenePark …no they won’t?? scalping in person is not much harder than scalping online. you might have different scalpers but they’ll do the same thing. unless you want to propose shutting down ebay until you have a ps5, what you’re describing is called “a poorly thought out idea”

  • badjumpers Mark Maloney (@badjumpers) reported

    @dassleresales After being let down by a couple of the main stockists & refusing to pay silly money on eBay I bagged a pair of these from you last week, ordered & delivered within 3 days, great service from start to finish 👍🏻

  • ChappyInc Monsieur Chapman (@ChappyInc) reported

    @eBay What’s up?! I can’t close my account and delete my personal information because I’m permanently suspended. This means I can’t ever close this account. Fix this please. Close my account out.

  • AmpharosSquad Mor Elmaliach (@AmpharosSquad) reported

    @AskeBay I was just suspended by mail from you and there's literally 0 reason on the mail, or on my account... please help me sort this out. I use ebay a lot and never had any such issue like this. I have 0 outstanding balance owed and no idea what is going on. Please assist.

  • dano_cosmic dano_cosmic✨ (@dano_cosmic) reported

    @WednesdayPull Ooof. If I’m searching right, highest 9.8 CGC of that issue on eBay sold for 6K 😬

  • Steve_DaG Steve-O (@Steve_DaG) reported

    @phil_that @DrewCF15 Problem is ebay is linked directly to bank so unless I had multiple ebay accounts with different accounts linked there is no way around it. Now for sales in person I could have multiple pay pay and linked to different bank but it’s all dumb. $600 is away too low of threshold

  • Andrea18961882 Andrea (@Andrea18961882) reported

    @Harrods Thanks for the reply. We get our grandson one every year for Christmas and have never had this issue. Just had to pay £60 on eBay for one so that he doesn’t have a gap on his teddy shelf 😭

  • aggiedad91 Aggiedad91 (@aggiedad91) reported

    @AskeBay My account has been suspended and I can't find out why. I've been on hold with ebay support for over an hour. I'm only a buyer, owe nothing to ebay and follow all policies. How can I find out why my account's been suspended (without going through the TERRIBLE "HELP"?

  • Cwebster1988 C.W. Richard (@Cwebster1988) reported

    @BethSouls @AskeBay @eBay I'm reading through all of the guidelines and rules right now to see what I could have possibly done, and I can't even find a user agreement I could have accidentally broken... It's a bummer.

  • KFore47 Dr. K ‘Killjoy’ Fore (@KFore47) reported

    Anyone know how to get @eBay to pick up the phone or the chat? My account was "suspended indefinitely" for no discernible reason - I'm assuming I got hacked? - and their live chat is down, I can't message them, and have been on hold for 20 minutes.

  • griffingulledge Griffin Gulledge (@griffingulledge) reported

    Completely out of the blue @eBay @AskeBay suspended my account today. No explanation. No warning. Everything fully paid for. Never once had a bad review. I use ebay a ton for books and clothes. AND they have no phone number or email to call, and their automated support is down.

  • djohnson5919 daniel johnson (@djohnson5919) reported

    @eBay I accepted an offer on an item I posted last month and you guys contacted me stating the buyers account was hacked, you then proceeded to suspend my account for absolutely no reason.. I cannot get through to support anyway I try. How can I resolve this issue?

  • pirate784 Dave Hughes (@pirate784) reported

    @MxHollyClara I’ve not had damage issues but I’d never leave anything to eBay to resolve. I had an absolute stonewall claim against a buyer go against me & I’ll never trust them again. eBay tech support even said I wouldn’t have an issue winning the case…I don’t trust them to protect sellers

  • BrettGarwood Brett Garwood (@BrettGarwood) reported

    @Fred_Schmidt @eBay @AskeBay Same here. Over two decades. Looks like they got hacked. Servers down.

  • BethSouls BethSouls ☁️ (@BethSouls) reported

    @Cwebster1988 @AskeBay I searched ‘eBay suspended’ on twitter and there’s a tweet every ten minutes or so! lots of people having this issue, could be a glitch on eBay’s end? I’ll let you know if I hear anything back

  • BethSouls BethSouls ☁️ (@BethSouls) reported

    @Cwebster1988 @AskeBay @eBay Everybody seemed to get the same email about ‘a risk to the community’ but all the forums say you’re supposed to get an actual reason in the email? So I think it’s a glitch, they better fix it soon! I rarely use mine anymore but a lot of people rely on eBay selling :(

  • eisfah sister florence 💆🏾‍♀️ (@eisfah) reported

    One scumbag bought my old iPad off eBay and is now trying to open a dispute to get it for free. Just to put it into perspective, it was on there for £45 and they haggled it down.

  • mrwillox Martin on the left ADHD (@mrwillox) reported

    @MxHollyClara It's been said, but the kicker for me is that nothing is bent, and nothing broken in a way that can't easily be repaired. I think they're at it and I hope that ebay see it that way too.

  • rchamley Renee Chamley (@rchamley) reported

    @eBay why is my account permanently suspended when I have not made a purchase or listed an item in over a year? And no where on your website with a number to call an agent. Chat feature not working.

  • ID_NA I B H A D E (@ID_NA) reported

    @AskeBay Someone has hacked into my eBay account, placed a bid and got my account permanently suspended. I can't sign in and I'm unable to reach anyone on the eBay UK customer care number. Please let me know how I can get my account back and if there's a live chat option!

  • Cwebster1988 C.W. Richard (@Cwebster1988) reported

    @CoreyHinman @eBay Same here. Came to Twitter to see if it was maybe an error?

  • BethSouls BethSouls ☁️ (@BethSouls) reported

    @Cwebster1988 @AskeBay @eBay I managed to get to my seller dashboard but everything says I’m above standard! so very confused, definitely an issue somewhere and they’ll have to address it soon with so many tweets coming in

  • Robert17D Robert (@Robert17D) reported
