-
Craig (@Craig_C92) reported@eBay Still down? Or just killed my visibility to shoppers? Getting absolutely no views or sales since the issue from the eBay servers this past weekend!!
-
Grok (@grok) reportedThat's a quad-socket server board (4 Xeon CPUs visible) stuffed with ~1TB RAM across dozens of DIMMs. Classic meme pic — most likely a Dell PowerEdge R920/R930 or similar Supermicro-based enterprise chassis. Used ones pop up on eBay cheap, but they're power-hungry beasts. Great for VMs/databases if you have the electric bill for it.

Sam Parr (@thesamparr) reportedPalmer Luckey sold Oculus to Facebook for over $2B. We had him on MFM awhile back. His story: - At 14, scrubbed boats at a boat yard for minimum wage. On the side, bought broken iPhones on eBay, fixed them, and resold them. Made tens of thousands as a teenager doing it - Spent every dollar on prototyping VR headsets in his parents' garage at 18. - At 19, Facebook offered him $1B for Oculus. He said no. They came back months later with a $2B deal. - Got fired from Facebook in 2016 - Spent a year looking at 3 ideas: private prison reform, solving obesity with synthetic food, and national security. Picked national security and started Anduril in 2017. He said when he sold Oculus, nobody at the company made over $100k a year, including himself. They called it the "100K Club".

Lord Of Discounts • Daily Deals & Promotions (@LordOfDiscounts) reported@WhiteIce1756 Definitely contact eBay. We were having trouble with this retailer and decided this week to no longer cover them. You can also try and see if they’ll replace it for free if you contact customer care 🤷

Chiefs Special Teams (@footballspam7) reportedeBay is down now how will I refresh my pc cards to see how much they sold for today
-
Juan A Jimenez 3rd (@MrJimen3z3rd) reported@eBay @StevesSportsCa1 That doesn’t work have the same problem

Tamara (@SolecialGirl) reportedI’m up running my sneaker business for the 14th consecutive year. Oooh Except I’ve never experienced FedEx web being down eBay web being down USPS website being down And I can’t log into my navy federal app All at once lol
-
Caaasillas (@Caaasibaby) reportedMy eBay was fine yesterday but now I’m seeing issues! Can’t use it on my phone
-
kentuckyfriedplus 🇺🇸🦅 (@kentuckyfriedp5) reported@johnennis @amazon buying 3rd party is touch and go, as I don’t get the impression that amazon vets them out coosely (ebay has a similar problem). I’m sorry you’re going through all this.
-
Lee D. Something (@LeeTheLost) reported@Tusk_4Real I dont know what your issues are, but im willing to be you can buy a Chipped acura TL ecu ( for j35a8 ) on ebay and plug er in and solve most of ur problems as long as it comes with keys, otherwise someone jacked the wiring harness up. If you have EMI.
-
Jackalope 🐰 (@JackalopeBunny) reportedEbay is giving me an internal server error, just started to happen, it was fine earlier, now its not. @eBay
-
Clowntonio Brown (@tapesandcds420) reported@Alexm3111 @iK9cards @gamestop He’s too lazy to take a photo and put it on eBay, his problem. Should be pissed AT the guy. Same with goodwill, ppl complain, but keep buying. Game stop “rips ppl off” but people keep going.
-
sugiarto (@megaec070994) reported@eatlearnplay @eBay It is deeply embarrassing for a global platform like eBay to handle a serious, high-value consumer complaint with nothing but a loop of incompetent robots. “By hiding behind automated links that offer no solutions, you are demonstrating a complete lack of accountability and professional ethics” My case involves the systemic seizure of my 4th rare antique property (Order #18-14506-82026), yet you treat it like a minor technical glitch. A refund is a financial transaction; customer service is a human one. Your refusal to provide a human supervisor—especially to a Premium user who is willing to pay for professional solutions—is a disgraceful failure of service. I have documented this interaction as proof of your corporate negligence for @FTC and the collector community

Betsy Soto (@BLySoto) reported@RagweedCapital Down on the biggest sale day of the week for auctions, Sunday. This past Sunday was also right after the NFL draft, also right after Topps Chrome Football was released. One day down..it already affected earnings for sellers and eBay. And same thing again today!
-
varriotriste (@mtz_sann) reported@eBay I can't make a purchase—I'm in Mexico and the site won't let me complete any transactions; the servers are still down.
-
LH44 8 (@clipperfive) reportedHey @eBay can you fix your standard envelope System. I keep getting R*PED by buyers taking advantage of when tracking shows nothing… but other orders from the same day say they got delivered. Please you guys are pushing so many sellers away
-
Beanyboy (@beanyboy2802) reported@LASHYBILLS Id probably do this - but switch out his actual PS5 for a dummy broken one i buy off ebay. Hed get the real one back a week later when the lesson sunk in.
-
Severin (@SeverinsCards) reportedeBay technical issues again when I have 45 auctions getting ready to end!?
-
Jerome (@RagweedCapital) reportedEbay won't load on my desktop. Works okay on my phone. I heard that the site was down yesterday too. Won't take too many down days to really impact earnings.
-
Uno (@reverseuno91) reported@mnchies Problem with investing in cards is liquidity I had a basketball/baseball collection and it took me forever to offload + with the eBay fees and post office trips it simply wasn’t worth the time & effort… It became a tedious pain in the *** even as my collection did 2-3 x…
-
Jane (@Jane95475959158) reported@ToilerOnTheSea2 @AwakenedOf I got kicked off because I refused to do a video selfie to prove I was a real person despite having an account for 25 years, paying for advertising etc. They keep trying to tempt me back and it's not working. I just hope I can keep access to ebay which provides me with income.
-
Josh Bingham (@JoshMBingham) reported@Whitney1199072 @SydneyLWatson That’s a whole other issue. Just look up hospital equipment on eBay to see the stupidly astronomical prices, and that is for used ones. It’s all a money grab scam.
-
RxRixhSpaceGuardGhostMan (@Makai_VI) reported@Andywarski The Quartering has flagged ebay down. eBay is under attack.
-
Tom (@EnglishSeller) reported@weezy1988 @eBay eBay aren’t saying Louise but it appears they have been targeted by a DDOS cyberattack and that’s causing issues like this globally. With access denied screens and restrictions.
-
Tyler (@Tyler_PA_) reported@eBay The website it down AI dummy
-
TailorGuitar (@tailorguitar) reported@galawssi @eBay issue is worse now. earlier couldn't check out now i can't even load the site
-
Cawfeeccino (@Cawfeeccino) reported@PokeSignals @PokeTCGAlerts The problem with that, is that there are big and small shows every single week. These "vendors" tend to rush buy product weekly so they can sell they weekend. If they can't push product that weekend, they'll have to resort to FBM/Ebay but the shows provide their quick flow so they can rinse and repeat. Without that quick flow they can't simply go to another show.
-
Roman Pioneer (@renoipgp) reportedCredit where it’s due: @eBay acted quickly and banned seller a1_excell after exposure, a high-volume scammer who moved over $25,000 in fake memorabilia, including items with PSA certificates that appeared home-printed. While the response is a positive sign, it underscores a deeper issue: a single account was still able to generate five figures in fraudulent sales before any action was taken. It proves that while platforms can react to public pressure, the current pre-sale screening for "authenticated" high-value items remains dangerously thin.
-
inhuman (@inhuman) reported@RyanEver @0xLocust PSA site has been broken too recently. They've had a hold on my ebay authentications for some large purchases, assuming because they can't check the certifications
-
Cool Enough Cards (@CoolEnoughCards) reportedAs someone who does most of my business on @eBay these days, the toughest part of the eBay IT problems the last week or so has been the fact that listings and quantities have a major lag in updating. It takes like 5 refreshes for listing quantities to be correct. @eBay, any fix?
