Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
յօհղ (@OrAroundTen) reported@PhotoJennBo It does seem to be a little too regular in its errors. Not like the eBay muddled English on products from China. Weird.
-
AK Pirate Prince (@AK_PiratePrince) reported@HighnessPurple ebay. This & the previous issue.
-
Lakers Back2Back (@heymynameismike) reported@bkbaz3 @QBishan Business. I always suggest people to buy it cause it’s usually not giving you any problem for 4yrs and you can still sell it for a decent amount if you don’t need it after. Just go look up how much a 2012 MacBook Pro is selling for on eBay. Easy $300-400. 8yr old laptop
-
Annie Gorden (@anniegorden) reported@Semin_Lee used one on ebay? Although I would not get that particular one because you will have lots of problems with static in the box
-
Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported@NiklausSalvator @eBay @eBay_UK Yep, they basically washed their hands of any issues. But it's an option to go to the small claims court so I guess we'll end up doing that. Just so annoying that they ignore the situation.
-
Aaron BURRRRRRRR ❄️🍦 (@PitchAFett) reportedI’ve got the full run of TMNT Color Classics including the Micro-Series issues. Didn’t realize so many of those are looking pretty decent on Ebay as far as newer issues go.
-
Rudy Martinez (@RudyBagels) reported@PhantasyStarBoy Open a case with eBay and explain that A they sold something under false pretenses because the picture in the listing. Then I would login and change the password for good measure.
-
Aussie Ben (@AussieBen) reportedGood grief. Buy activision anthology from eBay for fifteen bucks and track down a cheap secondhand PS2 if you’re desperate to play Atari games
-
Deeps tate is back and voted Biden-Harris (@Idontha73007498) reported@DWUhlfelderLaw I read that he was trying to sell the lectern on eBay. If true that would be problem to his defense attorney.
-
R♡ LOVES DANIEL (@DanielsLotus) reportedMy mom just said Slow Down isn't good, where can I sell my mom? Ebay or Amazon?
-
keter (@HarpyKeter) reported@Niels_Dewitte @tha_rami I'm not one of those people who thinks that scouring ebay for steals or fixing broken parts to save money is a normal way to build a good gaming pc, but 2000$ is way overkill. "Running the game" doesn't mean everything on ultra, it just means running it well enough.
-
Chris Espinosa (@cdespinosa) reported@JivaDeVoe Not true—he didn’t even leave the building with it. The eBay listings were fraudulent and were taken down.
-
Susie Tullett (@SusieTullettPR) reported@AskeBay I am sick and tired of ordering things that come from China. I have no problem with the goods, or the sellers, but the time it takes for the items to arrive. Ebay should clearly let the buyer know at the outset, so we can make an informed decision before payment.
-
Sarah the Cranky, Now With Extra Crankiness (@CrankySarah) reportedSurprising absolutely no-one who has met me, I'm having trouble parting with this collection. I'm kinda shocked I'm even taking pictures for eBay. I say I'm going to do these things and then don't.
-
Skald (@Skald87) reported@jeffqchen it looks fine shut down, but tbh i grabbed it off ebay at 120 because it was CiB, and when i sent the pics to the seller they just refunded me and let me keep it. so pretty much im not even gonna stress it much and grab the cheap replacement parts one
-
Frank Pappas (@FrankP2311) reported@1quik6 I’d wait until the new PWE with tracking program rolls out with EBay. I’ve done PWE sales for years with zero issues, but recently with the USPS slowdown and a surge of scammers my “item not received” rate is through the roof.
-
Lauren C. (@Ludacricch) reportedSo Twitter: do we think buying a single AirPod headphone off eBay is legit? Asking for a friend who just dropped her left one down a storm drain 😐
-
Jbk (@SocialJack112) reported@eBayAU hi Ebay I have an issue with a return. I bought a product that was represented to be from Australia and sent from NSW. when it arrived the product broke as it was cheap junk, when I request a return they are asking I return it to China which is super expensive.
-
Matt (@thespidermatt) reportedThey were handing these beanies out to people going into the main panel room (“hats from JJ!” one of the assistants was saying). I sat down in the panel room and people were already trying to sell them on eBay.
-
Mike Sterling, The 32+ Years of Comics Retail Guy (@mikesterling) reportedNow to figure out how STAR WARS: HIGH REPUBLIC #2 will sell, since a significant percentage of the audience for the first issue appears to be one-time just-for-eBay buyers. Will they come back for the next issue?
-
Starbird (@Starbird_Tweets) reported@EarthboundZE @ProsinPlanet It absolutely is that. Google, Microsoft, eBay and a handful of others operate as a cartel. Where they can't directly smack down competition or sites they don't like, they use their influence to much the same effect.
-
Ari (@kythlyn) reported@PhantasyStarBoy Immediately request a refund from the seller. Also open a case with eBay. If the seller does not resolve your issue within a couple days, I believe eBay can help you.
-
zaf (@azmt97) reported@AmirE142 U mean from direct sources? I dont think so i think it’s a global issue because people have been saying that cryptominers & scalpers got a lot, if not most, of them to resell at higher price. That said i’m sure there are third parties reselling them on ebay
-
Kylie (@tanthonystrut) reported@_pariah I wouldn't trust ebay anymore. I bought 2 phone cases through them and both have broken within weeks of using them. I lost my trust in ebay
-
New year, same Cobalt (@icze4lionV2) reported@assassin156_ @ItsJustSly this is the correct answer. Basically it's a fanmade "copy" of the original game, usually cheaper and can occasionally have issues with saving or something. Also often passed off as "original" carts for way more money on ebay by the unscrupulous.
-
Winencheeze, Esq (@winencheeze) reported@CuomoPrimeTime Chris, I maybe speculating irresponsibly here but I swear I saw a video of the lectern put up on eBay and it was up to $70,000 until eBay took it down. Not sure if the story is correct but just goes to the fact that he wasn't some innocent idiot who was being dumb. He knew.
-
J (@Jayke61) reported@eilperin @jonathanvswan He also put the podium/ lectern on eBay for sale. Then swiftly had to take it down again after people started showing it on social media. He needs a magician. He’s screwed.
-
Jbk (@SocialJack112) reportedI don't think I should have to. and seller not working with me. in the return details I don't have an option to have ebay step in. can I get some help please
-
Get on Gab (@rev_felix) reported@realjuliasong Ebay would be the next step down the list, though they are still pretty big. Newegg, surprisingly enough, has a decent assortment of non-computer stuff as well.
-
iVcustomz (@vcustomz) reported@HookTSB dude, ebay is ******* terrible now. These shoes DS, and now they are ripped upon arrival 😤😤😤😤
