eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • VexedOldMan Vexed Old Man (@VexedOldMan) reported

    @theJeremyVine Contact eBay and complain and report the seller. They’re usually good at dealing with issues. Although I’m confused as to why you can’t block a seller and yet, you can block a buyer? There should be equal protection for both buyer and seller, which I am both. @eBay

  • Smoothinate Smoothinate👽 (@Smoothinate) reported

    @Eeful_ @NezukoAE @TC_Shauny Yeah problem being I dunno what I said, next time you go on eBay and your accounts banned with no explanation I’m sure you would be calling to find out why

  • lily_y_kennedy Lily Kennedy (@lily_y_kennedy) reported

    @theJeremyVine If a child is able to collect £200, distinguishes iPhone from myPhone, bids and wins on ebay they should be able to withstand some online rudeness. Not justifying knobs but surely first world problems...

  • Rivierasm Riviera |🧶🐇🐅🧩 (@Rivierasm) reported

    'Sure hyung, you do that. But that's not even the point! Hyung!! You won't believe this. I think there is some glitch on the website. Remember the painting of Yeri that I made? The one I put up for sale on eBay last night?

  • charlieharden1 Charlie Harden #FBPE #GTTO 💙🌹🇪🇺😷 (@charlieharden1) reported

    Anyone having problems logging into #ebay? The login page is unresponsive. I've tried with Safari and Chrome. No luck.

  • WiseCapital3 🦉Wise Capital - WELON POOL🤩 (@WiseCapital3) reported

    there are no experience worse than selling on Ebay these days using PayPal. let some crypto know how to solve these terrible issues and can be valuable like #bitcoin.

  • mene_axelrod a1plus (@mene_axelrod) reported

    @JamesAtMLT @eBay am having the same problems here wit amazon

  • _mike_rossi_ Mike Rossi (@_mike_rossi_) reported

    @coffeebreaks40 @primetimesc2 This. So I offer 30 day returns anyway so I can qualify for Top-Rated Seller status, which bumps eBay final value fees down.

  • MarkDerrickSmi1 Mark Derrick Smith (@MarkDerrickSmi1) reported

    @theJeremyVine @eBay Just too many scammers on eBay for it to be trusted these days. eBay doesn’t do enough to shut them down. Avoid. Caveat Emptor I’m afraid.

  • WyeMonkey Ivan C Monckton (@WyeMonkey) reported

    7 I am now told by @eBay that they have turned down my appeal and the buyer has had a full refund... Am I fuming? Just a little, hence this thread.

  • Mickneal74 Michael neal (@Mickneal74) reported

    @AskeBay @eBay what’s point of putting in a dispute if the seller doesn’t respond ! And eBay close it down !!! I’ve sent loads of messages and got nowhere and I ha e a faulty product ? Really disappointed in eBay

  • DaveCun49193087 Dave Cunningham (@DaveCun49193087) reported

    @theJeremyVine @eBay That’s bloody terrible Jeremy

  • Liverpooltoonz Kop Cartoons/Art ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@Liverpooltoonz) reported

    @DanHendo27 At least with eBay they give you the person who reported you I got Liverpool Athletic who work for the club closed me down over YNWA even after a polite phone call to resolve the issue

  • AcePengu1n55 AcePengu1n (@AcePengu1n55) reported

    @Esoteric_Chaos @Ps5Instant Must be panicking though due to more restocks as i have noticed ebay prices have shot down and CEX is only paying £470 cash and trade for one so no incentive to resell for profit. If people don't buy from these scumbags they will have to resell at a loss to get their money back.

  • G_Bee_UK G_Bee_UK_Vaccinated Once. Bring on #2 🙈🤣 (@G_Bee_UK) reported

    @theJeremyVine Yup. Some unsanitary characters on Ebay. Very much a hit and miss market. TBH.... I wouldn't buy second hand phones. Too many potential issues (like if they're still in contract.) ... Buy "reconditioned" from a reputable network.

  • Rotmm Darren Allez l'OM ⚪ 💙 (@Rotmm) reported

    @Stressed_Local I've got a couple of them. One off ebay back when it was in beta, and a better one (in that it gives better balance) that was given out at X019. The issue, as with the Kishi, is the faff of having to remove the phone case to attach. It's a small, but significant, inconvenience.

  • CrackerWatson Scott Watson (@CrackerWatson) reported

    @AskeBay As a follow up I was able to pay via @AskPayPal when on a computer so may be a mobile app issue when going between #ebay and #paypal

  • fathardenOG Fat James Harden (@fathardenOG) reported

    @eBay is so scumming just be hitting you with “miscellaneous fees” y’all are pushing it I’m the one doing the work well y’all just manage a server why do you get 20 percent and feel the need to hit me with bullshit fees

  • PaulSam39088168 Paul Sampson (@PaulSam39088168) reported

    @epictools bought a Draper garden cart from you recently and it has broken, tried to ring and message you, but no reply as yet, ebay order ref 20-06670-50973

  • cooluniform Cool Cats Clothing (@cooluniform) reported

    @theJeremyVine @eBay That’s terrible I am a seller and have had 2 orders recently to ship to Australia on a $3 promotion that neither I nor EBay know anything about! Buyer not happy as I had to cancel. eBay do nothing.

  • CXCpainting Colors X Christian (@CXCpainting) reported

    @eBay yo eBay what’s your problem? Why am I only allowed to sell 1 item per month? I’ve had my account 5 years and no negative reviews.

  • GJones82927671 G Jones 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GJones82927671) reported

    @theJeremyVine @eBay If it’s been paid using PayPal then it’s recorded like a bank statement (login into PayPal), your daughter or you need to start a case against the seller. If it’s paid for using a debit/credit card then again it’s recorded and I know some banks and visa do reimburse the money.

  • ADandelionWish_ ADandelionWish🌱 (@ADandelionWish_) reported

    @888KINGS_ @yasuhara_niwa Infinite lightstick, original ver. Seriously tho, you have both versions?? I couldn't find the old version anywhere except a sketchy ebay shop and it came half broken 😭

  • triplesep Karen Lacey (@triplesep) reported

    @theJeremyVine This is very interesting - my 15 y/o daughter has also been scammed by someone called Nicola. My daughter was selling and posted the goods but then Nicola reported the sale as fraud and the money was reversed by eBay and now my daughter is down a pair of trainers and the money.

  • jesserb306 Jesse Brown (@jesserb306) reported from Viera East, Florida

    FYI if your card doesn’t say One of One or 1/1 it’s not a One of One Just because it’s 1/250 doesn’t mean anything Just because it’s the jersey number of the player doesn’t make it a 1/1 eBay sellers are terrible at this

  • CLOUDN9NETY Cloud9D (@CLOUDN9NETY) reported

    @OnceHopeful @tencentdimes well why would he ship 5 shoes in one label unless specifically stated to the buyer in listing? This is why people hate ebay. cuz they do stupid ****, get caught, and then try and pretend eBay is the problem. LMAO. its absurd. STOP DOING STUPID **** trying to cut corners.

  • MattyMalicious Physical Gibberish (@MattyMalicious) reported

    @SplAdamSage As I said to your now deleted tweet, @ebay has an obligation to shut that **** down.

  • prettyboots Lisa Marie 🐱🇬🇧🐈🐾🇬🇧 (@prettyboots) reported

    @theJeremyVine @eBay Look on music magpie. Never had a problem with them.

  • headed2themtns FrankDTank (@headed2themtns) reported

    @AskeBay @eBay You have to do something about nonpayment issues. Ties up a product for 6 days. I’ve sold same item 2 times without payment.
