eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Sweetchuck378 Burnzy (@Sweetchuck378) reported

    @lumpkinbd @Xbox Same with Playstation, unfortunately i dont think they can dictate to retailers how they choose to sell product. Pressure is better applied to retailers - the biggest problem here is ebay allowing the price gouging! Direct breach of there rules @AskeBay ?

  • iheardonesine . (@iheardonesine) reported

    @cameronhcwes I broke down and bought all them on ebay not too long ago. I did try to resist but alas 😭 I have to say. the press booklet from season 2 (on the middle shelf) is soooo nice. I kinda prefer that

  • dee_latorre Cynthia De la Torre (@dee_latorre) reported

    @msrodlotfe @McDonalds @eBay Yes but they're are people who are also the problem. of course the employees are going to find a way to take a whole box or whatever and sell them for more.

  • npfannen ☕nicole pfannenstiel☕ (@npfannen) reported

    @LindseyFair4 @Sir_Lantz_a_lot There was some random trivia about the first item sold on EBay......a broken laser pointer. Since learning that I've been 💯 on board with creators know their audiences!!! #engl318mu

  • adewebb Ade Webb (@adewebb) reported

    @jeany_spark @100Climbs Brilliant. My wife and I used to play the 5 minute £10 eBay game. You had to find and win a truly terrible item in an auction ending in the 5 minutes after you started.

  • FletchB1 Fletch (@FletchB1) reported

    @Vlad_Stakeumms eBay. Lots of guys make the mistake of walking in them outside once only to find out they’re the wrong size. Even though they were only worn once outside the fact they were puts their price down to 300. Still not cheap but definitely a bargain

  • MsMayaMidnight Maya Midnight 👠🍒 (@MsMayaMidnight) reported

    @Agent_C00per Huh weird, I buy stuff off of eBay pretty often and have never had that issue.

  • goonakthechamp goonak (@goonakthechamp) reported

    Glad to know @eBayCanada has no protection for sellers whatsoever. Sold a lens for $540 and the buyer issued a refund saying it was broken (It wasn't before shipping). Nonetheless, I refund the buyer to try to get my item back and now eBay says the buyer doesn't have to return it

  • GoTechHaven TechHaven (@GoTechHaven) reported

    @ebay & @askebay it’s time to start penalizing buyers who win auctions and don’t pay - something needs to deter that lousy behavior. Seems to be a rampant problem of late with my sales and with other friends & clients with similar complaints.

  • kwills341 kÅthleen 😷🏳️‍🌈 (@kwills341) reported

    A question for #amandatapping and #sanctuary fans. I’ve purchased 2 sets of the DVDs complete series on eBay, and they both arrived sealed, but the discs are scratched and smudged. Anyone else have issues?

  • PlanikaUK PlanikaUK (@PlanikaUK) reported

    @AskeBay official Shopify integration. Are you able to help because not entirely sure how we violated anything to result to a suspension? We've been able to host our products on Amazon no problem - surely it should be the same for eBay...

  • JodyJFoss Jody Foss (@JodyJFoss) reported from Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador

    @dudeville @eBay I’ve had the same issue with CDs through some third party sellers on Amazon. Order an item listed in “Very Good” condition & disc arrives looking like someone used it as a frisbee, plus booklet water damaged.😕

  • StanbackISaid Sean (@StanbackISaid) reported

    @gunreaI @MelechThomas No just fair wages , I’m just pointing out issues that I’ve witness for others but make I $25hr and sell on eBay and I’m fine.

  • aprilhenrybooks April Henry (@aprilhenrybooks) reported

    Just broke down and broke my principles to buy an ARC off eBay.

  • slimelia Alice Lia Maro (@slimelia) reported

    putting Boris Johnson up for auction on eBay cant believe nobody's thought of this!! anyway my nan just text me and shes fallen down the stairs again daft old **** x

  • HirokoTheHedgie Jessica Canales (@HirokoTheHedgie) reported

    I just fell down a rabbit hole looking up what other merch exists of Dark Magician Girl, and I, inevitably, came upon the horniest aspects of the YGO fandom: custom-made cards on eBay that feature her either with exposed boobs, ********-clad, or straight up porn. Classy.

  • norbitofficial Garrett (vibing) (@norbitofficial) reported

    @vee9zee yeah I could always go pick up a drill bit and try to salvage it but at this point it would probably cost as much to replace as save so im just going to track down some old shimano or suntour off ebay for $20 and be gtg in a week when it gets here

  • DeidreShannon9 Deidre Shannon (@DeidreShannon9) reported

    @ClaireHanna Haven't had any issues myself. And believe me, I've tested it with amazon, ebay, asos etc.

  • Regina_Baggie Paranoid Boi (@Regina_Baggie) reported

    I missed my chance to purchase the rare Korn Issues voodoo doll on ebay and now I'm sad.

  • MatchaFog Ancient Child (@MatchaFog) reported

    @resadentevil I had a similar issue but on eBay. I took it up with my bank and they handled it.

  • HannahLO_23 нαɴɴαн (@HannahLO_23) reported

    @playpokemon The problem lies with eBay and sites like eBay. If eBay made price gouging against TOS, it would stop scalpers.

  • mark_rex_h Mark Rex - BTC (@mark_rex_h) reported

    @SO_guitarist Thanks, I use to be, many years ago, a power seller on eBay but fees drove me away. I have way to much silver. Before I found BTC I was investing every $ into silver. Found BTC then my income went way down. Should of converted silver long ago.

  • vishpn Vishal Panchal (@vishpn) reported

    @eBay how to contact customer service for any issue?

  • WrestlingTradi2 WrestlingTradingCards.com (@WrestlingTradi2) reported

    @therealmdomz @eBay Follow up: have shipped multiple items now, using the new shipping service. Other than being a little slow (I think) in delivery, it’s working fantastic. Now, if I can only get them to print directly on the envelope, that would be fantastic! 😎

  • Mach1965 Malachy Mc Cullough (@Mach1965) reported

    @ClaireHanna I've received from Amazon, Ebay and every online store without a problem. Nor have we had problems shopping I store.

  • PapaSkogie Justin Skogen (@PapaSkogie) reported

    Hey @eBay - it's time for a three strikes & out for not paying auctions won. 1st time - warning and education on the process. 2nd time - 60 days no eBay - 3rd time - see ya Bit#&! Tired of dead-beat bidders. Leave my eBay items alone. Stepping down from soapbox...

  • PMahomey Pat M (@PMahomey) reported

    @ebay I’m sad you guys made lots of changes to your support for sellers. I’ve had a zero feedback buy a laptop for $100 and claimed it showed up broken but never shipped it back and you guys sent the money back to them without me getting the laptop back and I can’t do anything...

  • JonnyHIrons JHIrons (@JonnyHIrons) reported

    @ClaireHanna Totally agree - no issue at all with grocery shopping, Amazon or ebay deliveries. You'd almost think some people were touring the shops actively seeking empty shelves.

  • MediocreG92 H.I. McDunnough as Little Junior Brown (@MediocreG92) reported

    @Dougdesautels I used to used Amazon for the same reason, but since ebay uses PayPal, I can always just get my money back if there's an issue. I also don't buy from places and people there that don't take returns. I just refuse to deal with the Amazon markup for nothing lolol

  • R2Dougal Dougal 🖤🖤 (@R2Dougal) reported

    Did anyone manage to get dunks this morning. The Nike site went down then would accept my card and then sold out. I am sure they will be on stock x and eBay for 3x the price in a few minutes.
