    @AskeBay Hi! I dropped my phone in water which has broken the screen. I'm trying to log in to my eBay account on my laptop, but I have 2 step verification enabled - I can't see the security code on my phone screen as it's totally black! Can the code be sent to my email?

    18. Get creative It goes slow till it doesn't. I worked overnight shifts at Gap during college to make sure my tuition & rent were paid. This is how I got creative early on. I also sold purses on ebay to pay for books 📚

  • MonadoBoy16 MonadoBoy16 🇺🇦 #FireDavidZaslav (@MonadoBoy16) reported

    In addition, I got the V Smile Motion with the VLink and a few V.Motion Smartridges. Unfortunately, the Joystick doesn't work (as in the actual sticks). When I tried to fix it, I accidentally broke it. So, I had to rush ship a new one from ebay

  • LORDCANTl roach!! 🐙 לנה @ SPLATOON 3 (@LORDCANTl) reported

    the jacket was £50 on ebay and the shirt was free because i spent £100 in some tacky hot topic wannabe in camden market (£75 of which was jeans for @hikikomorbee that dont fit him and are broken)

  • PhatPhalaphels PhatPhalaphel (@PhatPhalaphels) reported

    @atrupar @facebook Had a similar issue with ebay, managed to get a response through twitter...weird, weird world

  • PussiPetter PussiPetter (@PussiPetter) reported

    @NightmareModeGo I ordered 2 sunglasses through global shipping once and only got the 1. The case should alert eBay that it's their problem

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

  • thejonnymar Jonny (@thejonnymar) reported

    Success? Did some cleaning of the cartridge switch in my GB Player & it seems to be working again: ran Pokemon Red for 25 minutes w/out issue. Promising, given the system crashed every few minutes before. Of course, I also ordered another GB Player from eBay, so now I have 2...

  • BenHolliday Ben Holliday (@BenHolliday) reported

    @benunsworth Just realised I’ve been on eBay for 21 years! Not sure if it’s got worse, or has just failed to improve over time. UX of many early sites/services inc. Amazon was pretty terrible, but they’re the opposite example, improving as they’ve grown

  • TnefUts tnef_uts (@TnefUts) reported

    @AskeBay hello. I downloaded the new app for my phone and it has logged me out. I can’t log back in because the ‘notification sent to my device’ message upon attempting to login isn’t appearing (because I’m not logged in on the app!) please help eBay!

  • creativedrewy creativedrewy (@creativedrewy) reported

    Where do you sell a used Macbook Pro laptop? I'm getting no traction on Craigslist, Swappa. Would try ebay but have had problems with people winning auctions and not paying. What's a nerd to do?

  • permacultureGB The Permaculture Guy (@permacultureGB) reported

    People getting worked up over PayPal. If you feel that upset that they shut something down that had very little connection to you just close your account (until you need to sell or buy on ebay that is!) "I'm going to close my PayPal account, no, really, I really am" ffs.

  • L364CY1 legacy (@L364CY1) reported

    @DaveCoulthard85 @eBay Dm I can help you fix it

  • curiousjamesp James Paul (@curiousjamesp) reported

    12/ Manipulation on the front end has caused people today who realized they were lied to by #baseball card cos to really stretch out their “error card” explainers that are glossier than the cards their parents couldn’t afford. Search eBay for “missing dot after inc.” Enjoy.

  • AJ5OH Aj (@AJ5OH) reported

    @CardboardLifer Hey man I'm not the type to dog someone on ebay and give them bad ratings but you have done nothing to resolve the issue. Give me break credit , a gift card, my money, ANYTHING to resolve the issue so I don't have to be that guy.

  • krissatiel - ̗̀ ☾ 𝙆 𝙍 🌙 𝙎 𝙎 ☽ ̖́- (@krissatiel) reported

    Oh my god. I'm having the worst experience of my life on eBay. So I bought KEY's Bad Love album a month ago from a store seller... & the seller FOLDED THE ALBUM IN HALF. Like. INSIDE THE BUBBLE WRAP THAT WAS TAPED DOWN and then shoved in a bubble mailer that was too small for it?

  • daddygooner83 Jöe the gooner (@daddygooner83) reported

    @TabsViv @mattletiss7 @PayPal Why is everyone closing their accounts? I only use it for ebay and never had a problem.

  • philscowcroft Phil (@philscowcroft) reported

    @tinopener1 They've broken ties with them now so only take direct card payments but at one time, you had to have PayPal as it was part of the eBay ecosystem

  • nycphonebuyer Feldon Richards (@nycphonebuyer) reported

    @UkeliTerungwa_C Buying broken phones on eBay, repairing them? Then selling them back on eBay

  • hollyoutnabout Holly Cline (@hollyoutnabout) reported

    @atrupar @facebook We had that problem with ebay. Fastest response was to message them from their twitter acct.

  • BrigidLohrey Brigid Lohrey (@BrigidLohrey) reported

    I may have had a small eBay accident… the timer was ticking down… less than 30 seconds until auction ended… huge bargain… panicked and bid with 6s to go… am now a proud (?) owner of a large salon style massage table… I live in a one bed flat…. Sigh

  • CardBurglar Vintage REB (@CardBurglar) reported

    @gothamtcx @eBay Wouldn’t it? I’d be broken up.

  • wraithfodder Elyse (@wraithfodder) reported

    @larmbrust They oughta do eBay, or something like that. Or if nothing else, offer up chunks for postage only. There are plenty of people (esp immunocompromised) who would love these masks. Or donate to Doctors Without Borders or something. Trouble is that tossing them is probably cheaper :(

  • TripFloyd Mark (@TripFloyd) reported

    I'm guessing the Canadian dollar is going down cuz the American item in my ebay cart gets slightly more expensive each day lol

  • TVMReviews TVM (@TVMReviews) reported

    @Luke_Crute I tend to sell most of it on Ebay but I also list things on Vinted & Facebook. Don't really like sharing the links as I've had a few issues with people time wasting or trying to scam etc unfortunately

  • JohnSpencerTV John Spencer (@JohnSpencerTV) reported

    Out again and got meds and cycle trip and back home, ugh wrong meds, dr link down I did ask up docs when giving blood but didn't know, so they gave me wrong one. and my one side photo ebay item was as expected.

  • BenWest83005712 West0 (@BenWest83005712) reported

    @MzKirah29 @vivilanco @AimControllerss I sold five or six of my broken Elites on eBay for £80. So many problems with them. I even had one of the replacements arrive broken.

  • TVMReviews TVM (@TVMReviews) reported

    @Luke_Crute Totally understand. I don't mind doing the odd private sale if I have anything of interest. I just don't like broadcasting ebay etc as there's always someone looking to cause trouble for some reason

  • KNPRnews Nevada Public Radio (@KNPRnews) reported

    Sandy: Driver's side seat belt is broken. Car is older ('96 Rav4), & mechanics can't find one. Bobbie: Go to eBay. You might have to buy a used one, which may be a safety issue, but it's better than nothing. Jesse recommends a few places in Las Vegas to find one.

  • TheCactuarMatt The Cactuar Matt (@TheCactuarMatt) reported

    @Antydotes No, I just threw the battery into the electronics recycling bin and sold the psp on ebay "as is". Cutting a battery open seems like a terrible idea. Live and limb > psp.
