  • alhodg General Generalist (@alhodg) reported from Sheffield, England

    Last year I bought some cheap outdoor lights off eBay but they only lasted about 4 or 5 months, so this year I went to @LoveWilko for better quality. I put them up at 4 today and they've already broken! Come back Chinese ebayers, all is forgiven!

  • Bodega_Papi Fat ***** From Dru Hill (@Bodega_Papi) reported

    @QuanFlix_ Someone tried to get a refund on me when I sold a pair of DS Lemonade Off-White Forces because the laces had an “ink” mark. eBay hit them with a nah, that’s a factory issue, they passed our inspection, you can’t get your money back. eBay is amazing.

  • wesgay Wes Gay (@wesgay) reported

    @jsappington Brilliant. Way more sophisticated than the eBay alert I ran for a year to find a mug to replace a broken one my wife loved

  • brains_21 Football For Brains 21 (@brains_21) reported

    @DeanoTheBaggie @JeffAstleFdn @WbaFormer Played for Norwich City and ipswich aswell. So sad, please help me get my Football Quiz book -Football For Brains out there I want to make people aware of the terrible problem of dementia in football and try to make it safer for the future. It's 4.50 and 2.00 postage on Ebay.

    @FSAPOJake Is this just a US thing? I see Americans complaining about eBay fairly often, but have never had any issue with eBay myself.

  • NoahIsAHuman Noah ⎊ (@NoahIsAHuman) reported

    also after reading that new MHA chapter I wanna look at getting another issue of Weekly Shonen Jump lmao just wish back issues weren’t like £20 on eBay :,)

  • totesnot1 totesnot (@totesnot1) reported

    @LizRummy Should be an easy fix if that's what failed. I've done it before. I've also sent a board to a guy in Florida on eBay and that worked too lol

  • ZhaoFen37759626 BG0AUB (@ZhaoFen37759626) reported

    I have received a lot of messages about whether the goods can be shipped to the UK, France and Holland, and even ebay indicates that the goods cannot be shipped. There is no problem with the actual delivery to Europe. I will check the sales Settings again.

  • demonjacobs666 Damien Jacobs (@demonjacobs666) reported

    @DaryRezvani i bought a broken one on ebay and fixed it

  • caraudiocrazy Chris R (@caraudiocrazy) reported

    @AskeBay why is it so difficult to get an issue resolved? I received the wrong item from what I ordered and the only option I can choose is "didn't receive item" then immediately get a "tracking shows delivered" from ebay. Yea the wrong item was delivered!

  • TshuwnStyles Tshuwn Styles (@TshuwnStyles) reported

    @n4tuss3c @eBay Contact @GirlsDailyNL for your locked account I had same issues some weeks ago dm immediately to rectify your account his an expert.

  • IndycarApex Nick Williams (@IndycarApex) reported

    @SpinMaster @krobbo81 It's crazy! It's either wait who knows how long, or pay $200 on eBay for one. I've put way too much time into trying to track one of these darn houses down.

  • eCommerceLOL Travis - Wisconsin (@eCommerceLOL) reported

    What type of "File" are we suppose to upload to #eBay for a credit card dispute. Like, what program are we suppose to use to upload a jpeg, jpg, or png file? How can I put words in there to describe the buyers error, if I can't even type anything. What is this such a project?

  • fToRrEeEsSt Michael R. Weinstein, Bookseller #EndTheOligarchy (@fToRrEeEsSt) reported

    Shop has been dismal this weekend, TG weekend is notoriously slow for smaller biz, but its been particularly quiet around here, though Ebay has been pretty solid to make up for it

  • DentrySam Sam dentry (@DentrySam) reported

    @eBay thanks for not paying the right account, then saying my bank is the one that has to fix it. DONT USE EBAY

  • geetroit75 ADL (@geetroit75) reported

    @plc69 Not sure it will be shown on Netflix down here. The box set is about $10 on eBay so I’ll grab myself a copy and see if I can spot my 18 year old self!

  • RealAZKicks AZKicks (@RealAZKicks) reported

    @dcfgod @0xSisyphus Think the big difference here is eBay was (at the time) pretty bonkers level innovative and novel for users. OS is a very lackluster consumer product that everyone knew needed to exist for this market to grow. They’ve captured huge share, congrats, but product is terrible.

  • projectksl treize khushrenada (@projectksl) reported

    @QuanFlix_ Think the liklihood of having issues is about the same on both tbh. But on eBay you can just refuse to sell to zero feedback people. Usually for stuff that costs a lot that’s the way to go.

  • _Jacob2001_ Jacob (@_Jacob2001_) reported

    @dave_daveglucas @AskeBay It was broken though for sellers, paypals return terms are completely different to eBay’s lol which screws over sellers - basically they want to be in control of their own system

  • pooIsidechats haley (@pooIsidechats) reported

    woke up this morning to an email saying i bought nothing but trouble (1991 94min) on vhs on ebay at 1 am last night

  • LaytonBourhill Layton Bourhill (@LaytonBourhill) reported

    Terrible customer service from @ebay. I have sent multiple messages with no response. It’s no wonder Amazon is running them out of business.

  • Randombob18 Luke 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 (@Randombob18) reported

    @slaveto4cats I genuinely sold my soul on eBay to fund a charity hitchhiking trip across Europe. I'm down. All I sent the Canadian bloke that bought it was a piece of paper saying 'my soul'.

  • JKJeonEuphoria 💜KIRSTY.CMᵒᵗ⁷ isn't seeing bts 😢 ⟬⟭⟭⟬ (@JKJeonEuphoria) reported

    @Chizzley2 I tracked these down on ebay because they remind me of my nan, whenever I was sick she'd make me chicken soup in one of these. I found the set on ebay for 15 quid and now only eat my soup on these. It makes me feel like she's close.

  • cfrcraig Craig Howard (@cfrcraig) reported

    @policecommander The problem is everybody will be running round saying I'm exempt etc, exemption should only be issued by a HCP/GP not purchased from amazon or eBay or tesco.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @AskeBay So EVERY TIME I sign in from the SAME FEW DEVICES, you lock my account?! That's not secruity, that's idiocy, incompetence and ... you know, who cares?; I don't use @eBay anymore.

  • AadamDalal Aadam Dalal (@AadamDalal) reported

    @Davids__brain @SweetBabyNicco My problems not with people buying the shoes to wear or to keep as a collectable but what's happening is sellers are cancelling stockx, goat, ebay, local consigners, orders just so they can sell on a later date for a higher price, yes there is a price barrier

  • _GaryBell Gary Bell (@_GaryBell) reported

    Won an eBay auction for another Raspberry Pi. That's number 7 now. Not sure if I have a hobby or a problem (Still 9 slots available in the rack when it arrives!)

  • DRock_41 D (@DRock_41) reported

    I need to stop looking at Bills coats on eBay. I already have 3 or 4. #problem

  • ChrisLunn03 Chris Lunn (@ChrisLunn03) reported

    @eBay_UK Having massive issues with eBay as a seller. Sold item to France but held up in Customs so buyer raised claim which eBay closed in his favour. Shortly after item delivered and signed for but can I get my money back? Of course not. Oh and buyer neg'd me aswell.

  • cowtowncollect Cowtown Collectibles LLC (@cowtowncollect) reported
