Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Isaac Clark (@bruhr3aly) reported@Seok26_ @SodaSkins Stop being poor. This is a poor/priorities out if whack problem not an optimization problem. A GTX 1050 will give you ***at least*** 60FPS, that **** is $60 on ebay. If you can't get CS2 running at 60FPS or better you shouldn't be gaming.
-
Killswitch キルスイッチ (iamkillswitch.bsky.social) (@IamKillswitch) reported@eBay That was the problem. Continuously getting a stupid automated service that didn't help and when I finally got an agent they talked like an AI too. Still not sure they were real. Go back to human interaction.
-
Chewlies (@walterchewski) reported@Joferjeff Ive had mixed results from ebay. Typically with good faith buyers, it works out, even when there are problems, but the couple times ive dealt with scammers, ebay ****** me over.
-
Privateer Hosting (@PrivateerHosted) reported@samuel_hayden_ Replicating serious work is fairly trivial on the hardware side once you go on eBay. But your dislike of Proxmox is a skill issue
-
Eric Badgley (@_EricBadgley) reported@greenstoslopes I had a guy this week buy a card, screen shot my listing and proceeded to (poorly) edit it to show a scratch in the corner requesting a cancellation.. He back tracked IMMEDIATELY as soon as I sent more pictures of his his terrible edit job, and he just said “my bad” 🙃 eBay sucks
-
Nifty (@theniftydaddy) reported@SEOSENA7 I am doing the same, I am up to around 10 issues! Where did you find the best place to shop for them? I am just using eBay. Also when did you snag vol 1 and any advice around that? Did you do first prints? That’s what I am trying to do.
-
Alex Zarac (@AlexZarac) reported@adamlf81 Actually, eBay is returning value to their shareholders by making their shares more valuable, Ebay also issues dividends. The eBay shareholders had voted on eBay‘s compensation package and this was one of the caveats, a stock grant. Moreover there are no naked shorts.
-
PC Savants (@pcSavants) reportedMan @ebay scammers are so bold they now can just claim they got an empty package and im required to issue a refund.
-
liberation nova 🗽🆕 (@PhantomScourge9) reported@joshfawx why did you buy it off ebay? you don't have the money to buy it from an official channel? B&O devices can have a lot of problems.
-
Nuts! (@WestMichAnon) reported@spikesguides @disencabula42 Go eBay, buy an old pair of decent leather boots. Bring to your local cobbler and have them fix them the way you like them. Cobblers are making a come back.
-
blu (@MaromaSamsa) reported@puuhs I usually buy my playmat, deck sleeves, and case set off of eBay. Never had an issue with any sellers.
-
Makker's Echoes (Mk2) (@EchoesAyThGlen) reported@Joferjeff A guy bought three model trains off me once (all of which went dead cheap), had a clear bout of buyer's regret and then weaponised his disability ("I can't fix one loose pipe, my hands are shaky!") and forced me to take the most expensive one back. Ebay helped him to harass me.

🌸 Soph 🌸 C4pitano Waiting Room 🥺 (@RubeuhmScutuhm) reported@as060721 And then you go to read the manga only to realize the series went out of print years ago so now you desperately chase down the few ebay users who sell their volumes only to have your account suspended for no reason because ebay sucks. Totally didn’t happen to me. At all.
-
The Greatest Escape (@HalifaxJB869) reported@russellcrowe 100% spot on. RC set his boundaries, signed for people and all was good. A lot of people refuse to sign stuff these days as it just goes straight on ebay, fair play to Russell for still signing merchandise frankly. Like he says 'what's the problem' ?
-
CaptainSlabbin (@CaptinSlabbin) reported@Cardmas11043520 @CardPurchaser He’s a scammer. You should scream up and down to eBay. These people need to get bounced off that platform.
-
A guy down under (@Fremean) reported@WellitHappened1 Hehe I once bought a $500 dryer that was broken for $50 cos it needed a new wax lock that I could get for $4 on eBay... I gave that dryer away 8 years later when I got a washer dryer combo (moved into a place with less space)

-
Paule (@baldandglasses) reportedGolf was diabolically terrible today *puts golf clubs on eBay
-
Spence (@mindthybusiness) reported@JGemini @TunedIntoTennis You sound super ignorant and ungrateful.. I purchase used shoes all the time from eBay because nice ones can be expensive and a nice pair of used shoes are better than holey unstable shoes that cause injury which I’ve had. It sounds like the issue lies within you

K3RRR (@K3TripleR) reportedRoss Johnson: "I found this great 5Core 48” DJ speaker stand tripod on ebay to use with my JPC-12 antenna. For $21 including shipping and tax, the light gauge steel tubing (about 5lbs total) is quite stable and durable. Yes, some of the parts are plastic and probably would not stand up to a 50mph dive off the back of a pickup, but it seems pretty capable of delivering good service as an affordable field stand… folds down to about 28”, extends to 54”. I had to drill a hole in the provided top plate to run a 10mm bolt up through my counterpoise disk and into the antenna base, but that was the extent of the mod’s. I set it up with my G90 in the backyard and added 4 counterpoise wires out to tent stakes. It was a quick stable setup and the 10-15mph wind had no effect at all. The best QSO of the day with stand fulling extended was well over 1300mi… Connecticut to Kansas, 5-9 on 20 watts. It will definitely have a home in the POTA activation kit stored in my pickup."

Karter (@karter_web3) reported@beincrypto ebay wasting billions on login failures
-
Card (@Cardhedge) reported@SmallCapBob2 @ryancohen ebay is so broken im building a search engine on top to find items i actually want and to remove all the scam listings and garbage also this is why a lot of people do not ship internationally, a lot of scammers. items dont go through authentication pass for international and scammers know this so its much easier for them to essentially steal your card or lie
-
Julian (@JulianJiggsPigs) reportedGot a call from an eBay seller regarding an order. They called to say the sealed booster box I ordered has a rather large tare in it. I asked: ‘are the packs opened?’ ‘No, no, no, they’re still sealed, just the box’s seal is broken.’ They said. ‘Ship it, so I can rip it!’ I replied. And that was that.

fez (@doll_pants) reported@Timechickz Me reading this like oh is her resale value down to 300 and then checking eBay .... 💀
-
AlphaFox (@alphafox) reported@younghover1996 I traded it in as a kid, got this one on ebay a while back. It was listed as broken so I fixed it and added a backlit screen mod.
-
miata (@miatafolife) reported@Dirk_McDirkin @rightsofrefusal @openpewproject I've told so many people but I'll say it again lol. Ebay man! I bought my K1 Max for $220 because it had a broken screen. $17 later its been a dream machine for the price.
-
PrepShipHub (@prepshiphub) reportedStill using software because “switching sounds painful”? We get it. But bad software costs time, creates errors, and limits growth every day. Prep Ship Hub helps sellers manage SKUs, shipments, returns, warehouse workflows & reporting across Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Shopify. Change is hard. Staying stuck is harder.
-
Chestfullcards (@Chestfullcards) reported@eBay needs to crack down the new seller zero feed too good to true scammers in the Pokemon listings or at least have a filter feature to hide some sellers from popping up in searches
