    @ComicNirvana We're sorry to hear about that error. Have you tried clicking on your store icon from a different browser? eBay works best with Google Chrome. It may be beneficial to clear your cache and cookies as well. If it still continues after that please let us know! ~Diane

  • dee5479 Dee R (@dee5479) reported

    @AngelLovesSimon Thank you. I need to occupy myself or I will end up going down the eBay black hole to make myself feel better and that's never a good thing.

  • b_hint1322 William John (@b_hint1322) reported

    @robert09160618 I think a lot of people are using the slow mail to their advantage and as a way to file for refunds which eBay is just handing out like candy on Halloween then they get a free item. They know it’s gonna arrive they just wanna be tools about it.

  • SuperHutJr copthatsellthis (@SuperHutJr) reported

    @Jshlepss @donjawns @eBay Contact eBay and tell them. They’ll fix it for j

  • JS318707 SQ0396300 (@JS318707) reported

    @donjawns @eBay Once the item is authenticated by eBay it shouldn’t be the sellers issue anymore. This is still a step in the right direction.

  • EightBitTony tony (@EightBitTony) reported

    @AskeBay Have had a saved search working for ages, now when I try and use it, I get "as you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot" - see lots of posts on the ebay website about other users experiencing the same issue.

  • peggmeg meghan boilard (@peggmeg) reported

    Very mad at the mean @eBay seller that went through the trouble of sending me a fake tracking number and promising that a sweater that I bought for my brother for Christmas was on its way so that I'd close a complaint that I filed I know that I am a rube but it was still mean

  • rodrox_gifts Robert Anthony (@rodrox_gifts) reported

    I don’t know why But It seems like Karen has taken her shenanigans from Facebook to eBay I feel like I’m deleting messages and blocking people daily now Anyone else having the same issue?

  • matthew_ricke Matthew Ricke (@matthew_ricke) reported

    I have been a loyal PlayStation customer - owned PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 - and have the money to buy a PS5 but refuse to by the vast inventory for sale on EBay and secondary markets from the bot buyer/scalpers that have thousands of Day 1 systems for resale. Please help fix this.

  • HoovsCollection Hoov’s Collection (@HoovsCollection) reported

    Okay so I just had to issue a refund on eBay for some minor edge wear on a card that the buyer asked about after the auction ended. Just glad I hadn’t sent it out yet.

  • JDdotST JDdotST (@JDdotST) reported

    @OrangeOutlawttv If eBay didn’t encourage it and provide the ability for these folks to scalp products then it wouldn’t be an issue. I also am surprised that the card mfg haven’t gone after eBay for this crap.

  • tailorguitar TailorGuitar (@tailorguitar) reported

    @AskeBay Just search #ebay tons of people having the issue. .

  • SimplyGames SimplyGames 🎮 (@SimplyGames) reported

    @WrestlingGod80 I appreciate the frustration but it is literally nothing to do with me/ SimplyGames. Please use the contact system via ebay. Thank you and apologies to hear about the issues

  • 1dmotavatorr ✨bad bleep✨ (@1dmotavatorr) reported

    @WineryHoran I haven’t contact them. Im hoping not to get the January issue because I want the November one. I can’t find the magazine where I live because we don’t have a Barnes and Nobles or Target. I’m thinking of canceling the subscription and just buying the magazine for $45 on eBay😔

  • witchydelano nova ✿ ☾ ★ (@witchydelano) reported

    i don’t have thrift stores but you better believe i’m constantly on depop and ebay looking for cute clothes. it’s just so hard when you’re fat and have sensory issues w fabrics and only like very particular styles lol

  • 515mm Ade🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@515mm) reported

    @GiveMeSpace3 I get glared at for not allowing someone to turn right in front of me. Excuse me if I don't want to stop in the middle of a junction unexpectedly and get run over. Recently I've taken to riding my Brompton wearing a Barbour off've eBay and a flat cap. Zero trouble.

  • DWeiss36 David Weiss 🇺🇸 (@DWeiss36) reported

    @TimOBrien which is why he'll be taking everything that's not nailed down in the White House on the way out. Ebay will soon be flooded with "Authentic White House Memorabilia" and he'll be signing MAGA hats in malls in Vegas for years.

  • CadKnight FishEd (@CadKnight) reported

    @MichaelBKelley @erinscottphoto Anything that isn't nailed down is fair game for these losers. These items will be showing up on Ebay after they have realize their employment prospects have gone down the tubes.

  • BattleRamBlog Battle Ram: A He-Man Blog (@BattleRamBlog) reported

    @Lee_Customs Did you ship through eBay's international shipping program, or did you send directly to Brazil? If the former, I think ebay handles any issues with that.

  • wes_greer Wes Greer: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (@wes_greer) reported

    @CommentComics @TalkJarro @PeterSmart I use it all the time when I’m looking for older hard to find comics. The best bet is to buy ones that have actual photos or scans of the books and to check their seller ratings and feedback. I’ve only had a few instances of issues but now eBay and PayPal protect your purchase.

  • tailorguitar TailorGuitar (@tailorguitar) reported

    @eBay i cannot access my items. getting "something about your browser made us think you were a bot" PLEASE FIX THIS!! #ebay

  • Assetwrs Asset (@Assetwrs) reported

    So I shut down my shopify, leaving a message that I can't support a biased site, etc. Anyone know a website that isn't biased right now? My store is still on ebay, but they have always had rules against things they feel dangerous...lol.

  • robert09160618 Rob (@robert09160618) reported

    @b_hint1322 Well that’s the issue, if it shows that they received the item, and a refund was issued, will eBay make them give the money back? I’ve never had an issue before. I don’t even know who to call to check status of where packages are?

  • depeche__toad grace (@depeche__toad) reported

    i wish the person who has outbid me on a cardigan on ebay a terrible terrible day

  • HartberryArt Hartberry Art (@HartberryArt) reported

    @AskeBay keep getting this message when I try and perform search "Pardon our interruption... As you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot........." Community asking why too. Answers please #ebay #problems

  • IzzyViv IzzyViv Is Lookin For Summer 🏳️‍🌈 (@IzzyViv) reported

    @SRuhle They’re all such blatant thieves I’m sure they’re gonna grab everything not nailed down!!! Don’t be surprised later to see White House Merchandise on eBay!! 🤬

  • DJensen7 Derrick J (@DJensen7) reported

    @vodkasodas I believe ebay has shut down accounts over this type of stuff, I’d rather keep my store on a large platform vs saving 10%.

  • JeremyLight3 Jeremy Light (@JeremyLight3) reported

    @dgwbirch @TokenizerIO Tokenised company ownership has been here for centuries - through shares. Investor protection rather than intermediation is the issue - eg an SME advertising its shares on eBay is illegal. What’s different in consumer protection is the big unanswered question with #tokenisation.

  • eliciamarie820 Elicia (@eliciamarie820) reported

    @maeification @Acosta Haha. eBay Some stuff goes back to museums in the area that they “borrowed” I’m sure they are aware and have a full account of what is there. Otherwise it’s federal property and big trouble...

  • Big_richard Big_Richard (@Big_richard) reported

    @ThatJunkman Yea WTF is up with eBay? There pulling everything.... I can’t hardly post anything without it being taken down
