Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Beach Dweller (@BeachDwellerX) reported@EverydayResell eBay's new feedback system benefits sellers. If you 1) shipped on time, 2)delivered on time, 3)buyer doesn't report problems, 4) buyer hasn't already left feedback...eBay system automatically leaves a positive feedback for the seller 7 days after confirmed delivery.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedResellers manually reformat listings for every platform. That's the problem ListLift solves. AI-generated copy, optimized per platform, character limits enforced. eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Facebook Marketplace.

Big J Sports Cards (@BigJsportscard) reported@Gbpoker0710 I feel that. Ebay sales for me in June have been so slow, but the grind never stops.

elernie (@elernie) reportedHey @natsturner this is starting to be a bigger issue now. I have not been the only one who received an empty box after it went through authentication stage. Took pictures before opening because it was suspicious that the sides had been cut and then re-sealed sloppily. Tracking shows delivered so I doubt @eBay will be of any help. I’m out $325… this will definitely make me stop buying more raw card

Ryan Wilson (@D_RyanWilson) reported@papaavalon @RockWallBibles Agree. Dozens of Bibles and the only one I have with the Apocrypha is a glue bound from Baylor 20 years ago and a used paste down I found on eBay. I hope this is normalized in the premium binding space.

Anish Moonka (@anishmoonka) reportedA broke 21-year-old in England spent $50 on a website and sold it off one pixel at a time, a dollar each. Five months later he had $1,037,100. The site was the Million Dollar Homepage. Alex Tew built it in 2005 to pay his university fees. The whole page was a blank grid of a million pixels, 1,000 across and 1,000 down. A single pixel is too tiny to see, so he sold them in 10 by 10 blocks for $100 a block. Pay up, drop in a small logo, link it wherever you wanted. There was no product behind it and no investors. People bought a square because everyone was looking at the page, and everyone was looking because other people had bought squares. He got it going himself. Friends and family took the first 4,700 pixels, and he used that cash to hire a PR firm and send out a press release. The BBC picked it up. Within two months, 100,000 people were visiting every day and more than half the grid was sold. On New Year's Day 2006 he auctioned off the last 1,000 pixels on eBay. The day it started, someone emailed demanding $5,000 to leave the site alone, then raised it to $50,000. When he refused, they flooded the page with fake traffic to crash it and knocked it offline for a while. The FBI and his local police in England both opened cases. The site came back, and the auction finished. A weight loss site won the last pixels for $38,100, pushing the total past a million. Tew dropped out of the business degree the whole stunt was supposed to pay for. The homepage itself is still online, frozen in 2005, a perfect little time capsule of what the web used to look like. The links are a graveyard. In 2017 a team at Harvard's Library Innovation Lab clicked through every one, and 547 led nowhere. Companies closed, domains expired. Ad space that sold for $342,000 now loads a blank screen. Tew did fine. He took the money, kept building, and went on to co-found Calm, the meditation app last valued at $2 billion.

Bluntz (@Bluntz_Capital) reportedthe thing about these gachas is they are not a flavour of the month play, the long term potential is INSANE. down the line once liquidty is there they can eat ebays lunch by providing a marketplace for a 1/10th the cost of what ebay charges to sell. its literally genius long term the marketplace will eventually make more money then the gacha itself imo, but the gacha is necessary now to get the cards on chain
-
steelcitydw (@steelcitydw) reported@BigDieselSports @eBay So my takeaway here: Buyer honestly never got the card, but should probably continue to wait because ESE is always slow and often inconsistent. However, accusing them of scamming you because Ebay's system left positive automated feedback, is probably a bridge too far.

Maria 🩷🐈⬛️🤞 (@marias_playlist) reportedAnd for the record I hope he puts more stuff on ebay because I thought it was fun and as an adult you should be able to manage your own fomo and financial decisions without making them someone else's responsibility or putting guilt on other people for your problems okay cool
-
Dr Yvonne McAvoy (@YvieRedShoes) reported@eBay_UK @eBay Any chance I could get someone to issue a refund and stop a seller from selling dangerous products as a matter of urgency?
-
rex!! 🎀 ⚢ (@SpookySodaz) reportedthe cinnamoroll licca was like 50 dollars and a lot of ebay sellers ask for over 100 usd so it was a HUGE steal and i dont mind having to fix her up a bit :P and also was released in 2017 so that likely explains the old mildew scent LOL
-
Preference Cascade (@SphereChaser) reported@marksmith131990 @DiscussingFilm I do hope this is true & not another fake. At this stage, I'll believe it when broken bits of the current TARDIS set appear on ebay, like Jodie's did.
-
thcman710 (@thcman710) reported@eBay i would appreciate being able to speak with an agent or something i have tried to go thru the automated assistant and it just doesn’t work for the issue i have.
-
IT guy (@ITcomplaintDep) reported@AKHomeproject @saveusculture I think the worst part about the ordeal is that the state that I bought it in was already after a mechanic looked it over, and "fixed it up". So many of the issues I have corrected on my own have been from the rig just being "too old" for most mechanics to deal with.. Missing parts from the carb "rebuild" like springs, checkballs and weights.. Brake shoes installed incorrectly.. The amount of "performance" increase over the state I bought it in by just getting it back to "stock" has been ridiculous to me. eBay NOS, and pulling parts off rigs at scrapyards gets old fast. I shudder to think about how I'd be dealing if I 'needed' this rig, like to put food on my table.
-
Gzl (@FuckGizzles) reported@Marioucche @eBay @Halo I agree it’s scummy. But it doesn’t break the Ebay rules and is also legal. Ebay requires a 40 day window to ship. Which barely fits the timeline with these. I respect it. But also surprised ebay is even taking these down to begin with.
-
Japreet 🇮🇳🇬🇧 (@Japreet_kah) reported@EyelandAes One of these "phone shops" bought a £750 camera from me and returned me an identical broken camera on ebay. There is NOTHING I can do about it.

Belfast Cyclist (@BelfastCyclist1) reported@TheShireOfYork Missed this reply, apologies I was buying from Ebay and I did wonder were they fake, so for the past 6 months or so I've bought from Halfords in person and Hopkins Cycles online. I have two bikes with SRAM chains fitted that probably have 1k miles on them now without any issues - yet The chain that broke yesterday was fitted to the bike when I bought it, I think it was a KMC with those diagonal stripes ...

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 125 Total sales: $320.98 Buy cost: $30.07 eBay earnings: $190.04 Refunds: $70.50 (Address issue, purchased again) Net profit: $159.97 ROI: 531% 3 item day. Another solid day. Nothing crazy. No home runs. Just a few good items sold to a few good buyers. The longer I do this, the more I realize that success in reselling isn't about hitting homeruns every day. It's about consistently sourcing good inventory at the right price, listing it, and letting the singles add up. One item becomes two. Two become five. Five become hundreds over time. Day after day, the process compounds. Most people overestimate what one day can do and underestimate what 125 days of consistency can do. Keep sourcing. Keep listing. Keep learning. The results take care of themselves. Still building. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

SquiggyMonster (@SerSquiggy) reported@deon_lt Bah having trouble downloading it and checked eBay it wasnt expensive, it should arrive soon enough 👌

Ben 10 News (@BenTenNews) reported@WiLDCRDwp Any old Ben 10 single issues (CNAP or SSCW) or TPBs I have bought have been through eBay, so I was excited to buy locally even if the price was higher haha
-
Tamara (@SolecialGirl) reportedI just spent 1 hour on the phone with eBay. Random restrictions are being placed on my account every 4 to 5 sneaker (sales) transactions. eBay believes it’s a technical issue. I call BS. I am believe I’m flipping too much product too fast & they’re suspecting me of fraud.

🇺🇸Ara Grey🇺🇸 (@AraGrey7) reported🚨 Real “Targeted by the Machine” Example: The eBay Spy Ring 🚨 What happens when a mega-corporation decides you’re an enemy? In 2020, eBay executives & employees launched a full harassment campaign against a small Massachusetts couple who ran a newsletter mildly critical of eBay’s policies. Not conspiracy — federal indictments. Let’s break it down. #GangStalking #SurveillanceAbuse

RobsRips (@RobsRips) reported@JSondheimer @CardsMax best part about ebay you don’t need it to get there, just their international hub in the US once there it’s not your problem

UbeTaroEater (@UEater83288) reported@Furu_Bartuc @powerpacks @eBay Or it could be nothing and the stock is flat to down
-
OSAKA NIGHTS 💫 (@OsakaNights223) reported@AustinTani Naw, it’s just scammers that’s all. We’re in a new ERA of Pokémon Scamming… it’s actually terrible the **** I see on @eBay everyday and they keep denying my reports on “sellers” who I know 1000% are trying to scam people.

thcman710 (@thcman710) reported@eBay i will be using other platforms as this one is not working and the customer support is non existent

Daniel Southam (@Lister_of_smeg) reported@eBay @eBay @AskeBay Banned for doing absolutely nothing. Haven't bought or sold anything in years, but got permanently suspended. Help links are broken and customer service just spammed me with copy-paste robot responses. Stay away - avoid them. dont use. #eBay #eBaySpam

JM (@TMade911) reported@BigDieselSports @CardPurchaser @eBay Dude I’m so scared to ship using these. Soley because of this issue. They always stay on in transit.
