    @AskeBay Problem with my EBAY site. Been using same location for years to manage items. couple days ago it would load webpage title MyEbay: All Selling and then it redirect to different page Sellers Hub All Selling. Please advise how to stop this redirection.

  • LenKusov *** the sleep paralysis demon (@LenKusov) reported

    @azushark There's not a whole lot to break on a top-loader that isn't a relatively cheap fix, pretty much the only things that cost a lot are the pump and the gearbox, and even those can usually be found on Ebay And older style ones are easy to repair, not hostile like modern ones

  • xkitkatsuki Annbann☆彡 (@xkitkatsuki) reported

    by eBay's money-back guaranteed. I try to contact the seller about this, but they said the only way they would issue a refund was if I did it through an "item not received" case. I really need assistance. Thank you.

  • BdsmManor The **** Manor (@BdsmManor) reported

    98 Sq meters of flooring down 64 to go and 190 litres of paint applied to the walls. 10 different studio back drops on order. And many hours spent on eBay buying items for the 2 different themed medical rooms. It been a huge amount of work but I hope people enjoy it.

  • Baertilu REMURIN (@Baertilu) reported

    @BadTakesJake Buy smart. Research the market. Haggle. Get more bang for your buck. Dont waste it because you can. Figurines are a hard market but I recommend used ones on ebay for a start betting very low. Only had minor smudge and in a worst case a broken footer which I could fix with glue

  • Planta Joseph Planta (@Planta) reported

    @eBayCanada Hello: I'm having trouble tracking an item and asking eBay to step in. It says I should message the seller, which I have & then they replied & the resolution centre says I need to reply. Is there an email address I can write because I'm stuck here.

  • WagsThePuppyDog FIXER PUPPER (@WagsThePuppyDog) reported

    @realnickfoxx I try to fix/repurpose as many things as possible. As a nice bonus, I can often make a few bucks selling something I fixed up via Craigslist or eBay.

  • enoughofdreams J (@enoughofdreams) reported

    On eBay making terrible decisions

  • mothboy2 Saturninebear loves BTS (@mothboy2) reported

    @Ldrahl It only just came out, but someone was asking $230 for it on eBay. Yes, the price will probably come down, but it's still going to be super-expensive.

  • MacrowMatt Matt Macrow (@MacrowMatt) reported

    @KISSMyArt72 8 of the last 10 things ive bought online have been ebay, no problems on any of em and we're talking stuff that was made and released in the late 90's. Last time i went gumtree was a n early 90's commodore. Could not drive the thing a single ******* time after the test drive

  • randy_3999 RaNDY (@randy_3999) reported

    @amazon is selling lot of third party products and they don’t want to take ownership of fixing the issue if it is damaged and top of that seller has to pay the return label fees to ship the items @JeffBezos this will be another eBay I wish I purchased from @CostcoAuto

  • Francisco_645 Incognit (@Francisco_645) reported

    @roborockglobal Thanks but no. I already talked with your support by email. The US customers have Amazon and Wallmart to buy it but european customers have to buy on eBay, AliExpress, or the terrible Geekbuying. All very reliable... Also, you don't give support in case of warranty so we have

  • swindyy 🌞 (@swindyy) reported

    Good luck to the ibuprofin ive just taken in working out how to split itself between my probably infected ebay ear piercing and the excruciating sciatic nerve pain the drs don't seem to think is really an issue x

  • MrSleezebag1964 MrSleezebag1964 (@MrSleezebag1964) reported

    @Iniqu1ty Have any friends that you could test your components with? Unlikely that everything is broken. Could just be a bad power supply, or bad RAM. If you need a new GPU right now... forget about. At least, forget about MSRP. eBay for 200-500% markup is always there.

  • Thekaevans Alex Evans 💜💛 (@Thekaevans) reported

    @OleHeadSneakers Idk what exactly went down but someone was clearly sitting on some sz.11 stock cause my sz price was the lowest on Stockx. I just copped off a panic reseller on eBay though that was prob staring at those stockx prices lol

  • DoNtfOrGeTGaViN Gavin(Kana) 🇧🇧 (@DoNtfOrGeTGaViN) reported

    @MemeContext2 track down the copy on ebay like a real grifter

  • koffie1987 GUN TOTING SPACE NERD (@koffie1987) reported

    @dino_dees @Jumpmasterpsg A primary cover is what im having trouble finding i bought one from eBay that said it fit a 01 fatboy but turned out to be for a damn Honda

  • illumirayy (@illumirayy) reported

    i found journals limited edition purple vinyl on ebay and if that **** not purple when i open it we’re gonna have some problems

  • jeffnolan Jeff Nolan 🇺🇸🚀 (@jeffnolan) reported

    when I cancelled @DIRECTV they sent me a letter saying “return the equipment or be charged” but the problem is that I own that equipment. I bought it on ebay. Customer support say I need to wait to be charged in order to dispute the charge that should never have been made

  • Admrmus Admr (@Admrmus) reported

    @WuGOAT @SOLELINKS There's plenty, on ebay mercari, locally, what's the problem man

  • LookingGlassD Denise Hayes (@LookingGlassD) reported

    @LouiseTilbrook1 @cefryber @GermanderCC some buyers think the seller pads the postage price out - but most don't. I certainly don't but get marked down on ebay all the time for 'charging too much' - etsy also say on listings that all my postage prices are too high as well when I list. But it is what it is...

  • LegoLover117 Garrett (LL117) (@LegoLover117) reported

    @JamesIsHere5 Any game. Hope and I bought a used GameCube from a **** shop a few weeks ago and the control sticks were absolute garbage. $13 on eBay later, I've solved that problem. (but she mostly plays Lego Star Wars 2 so probably for that one)

  • KingsDa52 socialist daughter (@KingsDa52) reported

    People are selling vaccine cards on @eBay, how is this not problematic? Why isn’t eBay shutting it down like they did when people were selling mask & hand sanitizer?

  • McDavidTheGreat PetitRouet (@McDavidTheGreat) reported

    I think at PS6 launch @PlayStation should sell them at resellers prices like 1500$ and announce in advance that the price will go down every 2 weeks by 100$. Then money won’t go into resellers pocket, stores won’t keep them all for eBay sells and there will be enough consoles.

  • ohscarito oscar 🎱🍒 (@ohscarito) reported

    @naaayxx honestly i just check ebay now. they’re barely used and guy wanted 180 but i got him down to 155$ and taxes made it a lil over 160 🥴 you just gotta keep lookin!

  • Comic_Book_Ivan Ivan A. Martin (@Comic_Book_Ivan) reported

    @philhester If you could go back in time, why not give yourself some winning lottery numbers, or stock tips, or what original art or back issues to buy cheap (just show 13 year old Phil a 2020 comic price guide or eBay sales histories).

  • xeauxeau miss anthrope. ♓︎ (@xeauxeau) reported

    eBay & Etsy ***** can y’all stop sending me a ****** email every time I sign in FROM THE SAME DAMN DEVICE???? Damn!!!!

  • EEdwardsWrites Erin Edwards (@EEdwardsWrites) reported

    So I am looking for a book, have been for years. It’s OOP, originally published in the 70s, publisher since shut down. I’ve emailed every secondhand book shop in the country and have eBay alerts set up for every possible way it could be listed. Point is, it’s impossible to find.
