eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Milk Road (@milkroaddaily) reportedAppLovin already owns $11B of the $100B of mobile gaming ad spend per year. Which means they can't continue growing at 59% per year forever. So they're opening the platform to every advertiser on Earth - starting with a focus on E-commerce, then insurance and fintech. If it works, the addressable market goes from ~$100B in mobile gaming ads to $600B+ in digital advertising. That's the bull case. The bear case: The company's ad trading system (AXON) became exceptional by predicting behavior inside games. Predicting who buys a mattress or an insurance policy is a different problem, and Meta and Amazon hold much richer purchase-intent data. eBay, Snap, and Groupon all tried to expand past their original strengths and struggled. Whether AppLovin's data is good enough for e-commerce will show up in return-on-ad-spend numbers over the next few quarters, and nowhere else. There are other yellow flags too. 👇

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSurplus freight and manufacturer overstock have a distribution problem. CargoBridge connects these inventory sources directly to Amazon and eBay sellers—so excess never goes to waste and sellers finally get reliable stock. Live soon.

Amichai (@Kicky80) reportedeBay sellers really need to be better prepared when selling Pokémon cards on @eBay, calling out incorrect comps and sales hoping people will place higher bids, also selling very off centered cards as “minty” is a serious problem for the buying community.
-
Jags 4 Life (@jaguars2637) reported@JylesCards And this is why eBay’s 13% isn’t completely terrible. Yeah 0% sounds way better through X, Reddit, Facebook Marketplace etc. until you get ripped off, then the 13% doesn’t sound so bad.

The Pixel Princess (@PixelPrincessRG) reported@dorsmer34567 @BassetTaboukou2 @Gamefantweets Yes I can go down my local cex who have plenty in, or go on ebay and buy it

kyle (@kyI570) reported@DMNDPCE same issue yeah and that fixed mine, i bought another on ebay for like £10

Rich Jacob (@RichJacob78) reported@MorgenHatton @gamestop @ryancohen GameStop writes off the game and donates it. Someone steals the game. Then sells it on eBay through GameStop. Then eventually whoever bought the game trades it in for a small GameStop credit and GameStop eventually writes the game off and donates it. Infinite Money Glitch!🚀🎊🎉

Bryan Savage (@bksav80) reported@eBay why is your order page always down???? How are we supposed to check statuses if we cant access the damn page????
-
Y2CC ⚡️⚡️ (@Y2CCL) reported@Joeybatz35 You do realize the problem is not buying the game physically, is that PlayStation will have a monopoly over their games, meaning they can just set a price and never make a discount, like you can find games that a few month old on eBay and what not for 50% off or more.

nb2611 (@bb26115) reported$GME New all time low on the warrants with an end of October expiry and no one knows what’s happening with eBay because shareholders are edged and left in the dark watching penny up, penny down price action every day, week, month and year? lol @ryancohen what a piece of work.
-
👑Magnifishit🧻 (@TheMagnifishit) reported@aaaaaaaaa171039 There’s dilution at closing if GME acquires EBAY. It doesn’t make sense to issue shares before then. That’s the whole point of this post
-
Josh Twirl (@JoshTwirl) reported@Pirat_Nation We have games like vagrant story that was released on disc but is only available at fairly high prices on eBay. If it was on the PlayStation store you’d know you’re getting a working copy at a more reasonable price. Don’t get me started on Sega Saturn game prices. People praise Steam since they can still play games they added in their library over 20 years ago. No fear about the laser in your disc drive breaking down. Digital is the best way forward for game preservation and reasonable prices.

Ashesofundead (@Ashesofundead) reported@JamesBryhan I won't be quieting down on this. I used to spend over 500+ a month on Amazon and had prime, but I canceled my subscription and stopped using Amazon. Now I'm going to ebay or even hitting up local shops I wouldn't have given a second thought to before. I want this Stargate show to come back, immediately. Only then will I turn back to amazon

alexander (@AMailliard) reportedPosted some cards on eBay in 3 lots. So many views. No buyers. It’s a bit pricey for one buy for most. So i listed them all as singles & have sold like 1/3 of them so far. Tedious lol. If i had more room in this house it wouldn’t be a problem… but alas

David Philipe Gil (@davidpgil) reported@sudoingX I think it's more helpful to buy, gut out what you don't want, and continue building it. Before the whole AI hardware drama; around 2021, I bought a Supermicro 4U server from surplus on eBay. I got 128 GB DD4 that way for about 1000 USD, but it also included a Dual Xeon board, nice redundant PSUs, and a useful RAID card. Not a perfect machine for AI, but the sum of the parts ended up being a smart purchase.
-
NFTprospector 🦇🔊🍦🏴☠️ (@NFTprospector_) reported@ThePPseedsShow Agreed, 6 years holding is long enough. We’ve done our part it’s time for some ******* action. We’ve missed out on a lot of other investments for trying to fix the system. I believe we win in the end but damn it sucks not to have more clarity other than the pursuit of eBay.

Alan Poole (@reallyalan1970) reported@eBay you have a problem with your app, it’s not been functioning correctly for days now and I’ve got an item listed.

Orion (@0xOrionVega) reportedTWO USED EPYC ROMES. 768GB OF DDR4. ZERO GPUs. ONE BASEMENT RIG RUNNING DEEPSEEK V3 671B WITHOUT A DATACENTER'S PERMISSION. Nobody talks about this setup and I don't know why. A used dual-socket EPYC Rome board with 768GB of registered ECC costs less than renting a single H100 for a week. I paid $2,400 on eBay. Guy shipped it in a box that used to hold a microwave. Loaded ktransformers, pinned the NUMA nodes properly, and now DeepSeek V3 671B runs at 8-12 tokens per second on my basement floor. No cloud. No rate limits. No "your prompt violates our terms." No data leaving the room. Everyone assumes local AI means a wall of 3090s. It doesn't. MoE models only activate ~37B parameters per token, so memory bandwidth carries the run, not raw compute. Server RAM has plenty of both if you wire it right. The wild part: as datacenters swap Rome for Turin, this gear is basically being given away. What cost $40k in 2022 is $3k on eBay now. Meanwhile the models keep getting better. I'm not a sysadmin. I'm not an ML engineer. I watched three YouTube videos and read one Reddit thread. If I can do this in a basement, the "you need a datacenter" narrative is cooked.

OnlyCharizard (@OnlyCharizard) reported@11_arm_11 @askebay From what I understand eBay will automatically send you the funds after 90 days. They have to hold them in case someone files a claim or issues a charge back during that time.
-
MarketswithMay (@marketswithmay) reported@ConwayYen @EndureInFaith @Tony_Denaro I'm not sure what you mean by the eBay deal is in danger. The board declined the deal, so at this point, if it's going to happen, it's a good old-fashioned slow and steady acquisition of shares plus shareholder courtship. Did I miss something?

West Texas Cars_Cards_Canes (@AtariTexas) reported@Ob1JohnKenob1 @USPS @eBay Have to sell in stacks of 5-7 cards and charge regular shipping and get that tracking. Sure sales slow but the growing costs of I didn’t get it and the aggregation from it makes up for it

Thizz (@codyvasy) reportedre-watching what I watched last night... people feeling "robbed" by gamepass... I understand. that you buy a 12 month gamepass window. based on what is in the 12 months, and you're buying it to also play something that comes out during the last 4 months of your subscription.. or worse, you stack years... based on a list of titles that get cancelled or delayed. I understand that. I just consider it like bankruptcy. "there is no money"... "there is no game"... if gamepass is game-rupt. I dunno if you deserve a refund or not. they told you they wanted 30? 80 whatever million... and you thought it was gonna happen and reach sustainability. I'm not licking boots or siding with the company... what do you want from gamepass? (besides your money back)... you want microsoft to kickstarter every game from now on? what is your solution?? and I hear my fave youtubers, alot have said "thats not my problem, where are the games" "you said there would be games, where are the games" and the devs/publishers who bought the dev kits and invested how much more into xbox port/build, are saying, where are our sales!? you're telling xbox, "I give you my money" and complains.. and the publishers are saying "you aren't giving US your money, why should I get you games" so you basically said you aren't gonna pay the publishers, and the publishers can't pay the game devs/studios.... because you gave your money to xbox gamepass and "gamepass will take care of you" and now when it isn't.... you're mad at gamepass? you're mad at the studios/devs for saying,... "the gamers dont wanna buy games, we cant **** them out of $70, so lets **** xbox out of 6 years of salaries" you subbed to gamepass and tried to **** the studios...(I'm using alot of their language, the notion of "getting ******")... so they said okay... who can we ****... lets **** xbox... gamers say **** you devs, devs sayfuck you microsoft... well in this circle, this triangle who is left to get ******.. you the gamer? microsoft says **** you gamers... and you want your money back? for a 6 year used service? for a 6 year old console? that is the other thing.. why does xbox owe you money? why is xbox in charge of the refund? get it back from ebay, gamestop, target... why isn't the retailers the bad guy for selling you the "piece of ****" xbox??? how come people aren't mad at them for carrying garbage? well of course that was 2020 and years of thinking they'll get better right? thats where your money went.. you went down with the xbox ship... no refund. you shoulda got a refund in 2020. sell it used in 2021. etc. and on to playstation and discs... I'm sorry we feel insignificant. that I can't program an off the shelf xbox... that it has to be jail broken, that its a "closed system", versus an apple 2 or commodore 64 or whatever.. (not debating how open or closed those were, just metaphors) we all buy these devices and things we can't do **** with. whether its the electronics, or the metal fab, or making brackets or mounts to put a diff whatever unit in... I'm sorry there is no big aftermarket repurposing to hot rod your xbox... we talking jailbreaking, homebrew? how come nobody is saying "don't sell the xbox/ps5/sw2, just jailbreak it, and use it how you want" I'm just saying...oh cause homebrew "sucks"... we trust sony/xbox/nintendo more than the scene, and tools and lack of support... etc. right? I dont wanna navigate forums and some process to jailbreak a ps5. I just wanna pay my $70 and put the disc in. (put the disc in sony!) is this just buyers remorse... I dunno why it bugs me to hear this guy want a refund or claim microsoft stole gamers money...

World Monitoring Center (@WMC_WORLD) reportedBill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

aaaaaaaaa (@aaaaaaaaa171039) reported@staypredictable So, gme holders have 1 gme, ebay 2.84. For every current 1 gme share, there will be 3.84 after merger. 1/3.84=.26, meaning your ownership of gme is now 26% what it used to be. Debt isnt free, and overleveraging where ev >> mc will slam the price down

Trophy Watch (@trophy_watch) reported@Guitarbizon @JulyMike1959 Just packed up for return. China / eBay. Very pretty but somehow the styrofoam / plastic bag embedded blurry shapes in the clear poly finish that won’t polish out. Maybe with a buffer but not going there. Janky hardware - expected. Nut was just a thin strip of plastic that didn’t fill slot. Body beautiful, chunky neck with really nicely done frets. Good setup. Didn’t bother plugging in, was going to rewire as an Andy Summers mod. If it didn’t have the finish problems I may have taken it on. $220 shipped from China in 3 weeks. Wish Cathy made this…

Anastassiia Karo (@siia_kray) reportedHe wrote: “I see you are in Southern California.” Knows my location. I feel unsafe. Reported it. eBay promised 06/21 by phone feedback would be removed. He left it. Promise broken. He harassed me, made legal threats. I followed every instruction. Response? “Decision stands.”

Aric Chen (@aricchen) reported🚨 The Air Bag That Became a Grenade: A Deadly China-Linked Pipeline Inside American Cars! A device built to save lives is exploding into shrapnel inside used cars across America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says replacement air-bag inflators marked “DTN60DB” have been linked to 10 deaths and three severe injuries in 13 crashes. Instead of cushioning drivers, the inflators ruptured and fired metal fragments into their faces, necks and chests. The crashes should have been survivable. One victim, Eui Seok Kang, lost half his lower jaw after a replacement air bag bought on eBay detonated during a 2023 Texas crash. A 22-year-old Florida mother, Destiny Byassee, was killed after another replacement unit exploded in her Chevrolet Malibu. The danger is not confined to one careless repair shop. It runs through a murky aftermarket of salvaged vehicles, online sellers, counterfeit automaker labels and parts likely imported illegally from China. Investigators found that some aftermarket inflators had entered the country concealed inside toys and dollhouses. Once installed, the parts become nearly invisible. They are not linked to a vehicle identification number, so a standard recall search may reveal nothing. In April, NHTSA banned the sale and import of inflators bearing the DTN60DB identifier, the agency’s first vehicle-equipment ban in more than two decades. The Chinese manufacturer associated with the marking says it does not sell in the United States and argues that the parts may be counterfeits. That defense does not make American drivers safer. It exposes the deeper problem: an opaque supply chain where responsibility disappears while lethal products keep moving. This is what counterfeit commerce looks like when the fake is not a handbag, but an explosive charge inches from a driver’s face. Owners of used, rebuilt or previously crashed vehicles should obtain a history report and have any replacement air bag inspected by a qualified technician. Do not open the steering wheel yourself.

Michael Smith (@PixelPrison1987) reported@noctis_research $GME is down over 57% the past 5 years. I think the shortsellers are doing just fine; infact I bet some of them bought an extra yacht with retail money. It is the loyal shareholders getting crushed with no end in sight. RCEO is gooning over @eBay and doesn't talk about Gamestop
