    @AskeBay 1. I have been buying L-Theanine from ebay for some time now without a problem. The seller I usually get it from was either out of stock or no longer sold it I ordered from this particular seller. I have not long moved home. I only have 2 neighbours at the poultry farm I stay at

  • onmeshirtson OnMeShirtSon (@onmeshirtson) reported

    @shirtsbrad Ebay has become an unbearable platform to sell on.They dont help sellers & hide behind grey areas of selling laws.That feedback is totally unfair. Tax isn’t your problem and ebay should remove that really.17 years I’ve had an eBay account. In the process of removing most my items

  • sophia_hjkl Sophiaaaahjkl;8901 (@sophia_hjkl) reported

    @fagdestroyer444 ebay is 100% the same problem as depop, the issue isnt the site, but that scene kids werent plus size back in the day. but i will say ive had good luck with finding old scene accessories there

  • SirNeilH Neil A Heywood 🇺🇦 (@SirNeilH) reported

    @eBay_UK your system sucks, I can’t sign onto EBay as my details have been changed on the site & Ebay’s help is: Sign in for help. What part of, “I can’t sign in do you not understand.” Kick a customer when he or she is down & trying to let you know you’ve got a problem 😖

  • eaglesoft1980 🇺🇸Mike🇺🇸 (@eaglesoft1980) reported

    @benheck I bought a broken Quest 1 from eBay for $90 all that was wrong with it was stuck in boot loop. The VR is just a cell phone packed into a headset with lenses but I was on the fence til my grandson got his and yea I was hooked.

  • CardPurchaser Card Purchaser (@CardPurchaser) reported

    @AJPreziosi @Topps Was he asking "what now?" Like what do you want him to do? What did you tell him you want? No returns/exchanges doesn't apply to wrong item but if you don't tell eBay fast enough it can be an issue.

  • jttbote Journey to the Beginning of The End (@jttbote) reported

    Routine maintenance for the Ebay CN data server will take place at 1:00 PM EST

  • DevCartMagazine Lexington Alexander (@DevCartMagazine) reported

    @ebay @AskeBay My buyers are having trouble paying because today they're getting 'out of stock' messages. Was supposed to get a call in 1 minute two hours ago. If this is a site wide issue, please let me know when it will be fixed. Would be nice to know if just me #ebayseller

  • triple_e_cards Triple E Cards (@triple_e_cards) reported

    @FantasyRath The problem with not offering free shipping is eBay search algorithm gives you 8-12X more impressions with free shipping. It literally increased my sales by a factor of 5X on 10,000 listings. That made me push towards where I am out now, 53,000+ and counting 6 months later.

  • DevCartMagazine Lexington Alexander (@DevCartMagazine) reported

    Is anyone else getting an 'out of stock' error when trying to pay on ebay for auction items?

  • WaterTribeJ Jared (@WaterTribeJ) reported

    @Faustuszero @ImReadingShhh @ksfphd Problem is these Silver Age books don’t tend to come back down to Earth in price after they go up. They may go down some but they rarely ever return to pre-hype prices. Add it to any comic store online want lists and have eBay notify you of new listings, diligence is your friend

  • g307m gamoming (@g307m) reported

    @Bloxus @areyoshi sit there losing my mind or scroll through broken laptops on ebay for a couple hours mindlessly

  • HouseOfDoge1 HouseOfDoge (@HouseOfDoge1) reported

    god damn @ebay how TF does a company like you guys not have an easily accessible chat function? i have an issue and im not doing an email chain. you guys are a disgrace @AskeBay

  • hunknorris Hunk Norris 🍊 🇺🇸 ☢️ (@hunknorris) reported

    @stantradingman I’ve always wanted a warehouse of broken **** that people have returned to Walmart. I did a **** ton of auctions and surplus sales back in the late 90s and early 2000s when eBay first started. You can probably make close to a standard living but not like 20 years ago.

  • BKatakis Gimmie Warp Drive (@BKatakis) reported

    @sterophonick As fast as amazon and ebay take down these sellers of fake storage devices, they make a new account and start selling them again.

  • YomiAppreciator RealHumanBean (Big Boss arc) (@YomiAppreciator) reported

    @Augsburg36 You may have to bite the bullet and get a physical copy. There's a listing for a 1984 issue up right now on eBay.

  • Wolverinesclaws Andy Haigh (@Wolverinesclaws) reported

    Apparently you also now need to upload photo ID otherwise you can have problems getting paid for stuff you sell. So that means loads of people can't sell anything on eBay now because they don't have photo ID.

  • ExpoDraws Expo (Comic on Webtoon!) (@ExpoDraws) reported

    @Touyarokii @Jackesco84 Can get it on ebay for about $40 or on alliexpress for $14. Got mine on ebay for about $18 a few years ago, has a few minor issues but sure beats spending $350 on a brand new one

  • iRetroPablo R E T R O - P A B L O 👾 (@iRetroPablo) reported

    @AskeBay I got advice from ebay and was told I have to accept the return, which I did. Then the buyer opened a dispute with Paypal which automatically cancelled my return to them. So the only option I have now is to issue a full refund via Paypal, lose the item, the fees and postage cost!

  • Morriganlafey1 Morriganlafey (@Morriganlafey1) reported

    @arieladkins And you can criticize the Bible and Jesus as much as you like. Just search for Jesus t-shirts on Ebay and then remember they took down a paper pig made from pages of the Quran.

  • NostalgiaSeekr NostalgiaSeekr (@NostalgiaSeekr) reported

    Switched it out for the second-hand PS3 controller that came with the console (off ebay) and it fixed the lag. Also noted the noise coming from the disc drive horizontally so I stood it up vertically, allowing it more room to cool down and a lot of the noise cleared up. 🤓

  • MedONeal87 Shawn O'Neal (@MedONeal87) reported

    @WhateverYT3 @packripstt Would you buy one like that off ebay for 300? If no then it's kinda a fact bc of error/crimp. But here's to him getting a swirl on the second one. GL. Hopefully they make up for it and he's gets the swirl on a new one.

  • Huntern0rt HUNTERN0RT (@Huntern0rt) reported

    @SilentHell__ Facebook marketplace & CEX probably the cheapest place. Even go down the local bootsale. Otherwise eBay but can be pricey !

  • lessshoe Joe Jackson (@lessshoe) reported

    @X_Mr202 Then what’s the problem genius, he said he doesn’t care, release everything he has nothing to hide. Except the nuclear codes he’s trying to sell on EBay

  • BKatakis Gimmie Warp Drive (@BKatakis) reported

    @sterophonick Beware the counterfeit ones on ebay & amazon, some are hacked to show a large size, they're actually very small in capacity. Usually too cheap to be true. For storing media, your device will show an error after it reaches actual capacity, or it will start overwriting your medial

  • misslucyp Scheiße Minelli (@misslucyp) reported

    Currently photographing some bargain garms for ebay. More hassle. I just need to focus on how I'll feel when I finally move in with the gentleman caller and can finally get to work on wearing him down into getting a dog.

  • isaac_swindle Isaac Swindle (@isaac_swindle) reported

    @ksfphd Mine is only a white whale because of the way I’ve hunted for it, antique shops and back issues instead of EBay, but it would either be Fury of the Firestorm 24 or Blue Devil 1 right now

  • dlucero777 David Lucero (@dlucero777) reported

    damn! some took down their ebay government classified documents page:(

  • jeckythump Dr Jonathan Kershaw 🇪🇺 (@jeckythump) reported

    @nieuwenhui2 I don't think that £43 was too shabby for this one 👍 That said, it's terrible when all these auction touches and buy-it-now discount-offers turn up at once 😲 I've probably spent far too much on ebay in the last month or so, but BARGAINS innit...

  • virtualbattler grand slamdalf (@virtualbattler) reported

    every listing for unpatched switches on ebay include scratched screens or broken kick stands y'all beating your games up what the hell
