eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
RickRoss504 (@RickRoss504) reported@Nortier Psa also controls the hobby market I find it very weird that as soon as they shut down all these service levels all of sudden every seller on eBay is selling every Psa card for 2x times or 3x times of comp prices I even saw some sellers have their slabs at 4x times of comps
-
Eamil (@Eamil42) reported@Food4Dogs @Forest_Reviews I bought my PS5 after the PS5 slim was out. I went out of my way to buy an original edition with a drive off ebay because I'm not buying a console with a removable drive that can be bricked if a server dies.

moerscards (@moerscards) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay As long as you haven't broken the void seal - contact ebay and tell them that you want a refund bc the card was damaged by their authentication team. The first thing they are going to do is go to the seller and ask if they will accept a refund for the item. If the seller declines, which they should, ebay will come back to you and offer you a discounted price. You can negotiate this. If you don't want the card they will have to eat it, if you do you should be able to get a significant amount off. Do not take the fall for their lack of accountability. To have a team of people who can authenticate an item and be experts in what they do but not know how to ship something properly in 2026 is ridiculous. Don't let them off the hook. Don't ever surrender (Churchill voice).

Ogg's Cards (Jon Ogg) (@OggsCards) reported@GoldLineGambler @eBay @CardPurchaser There is another angle here. If you don’t like someone’s shipping fee don’t bid or buy from them. Thats what I do. And if someone asks why my shipping is more it’s because it’s an hour or more round trip to ship cheaply via USPS because they shut down both satellite locations.

Don Geders (@geders_don) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay I truly do not understand why this is so difficult of a process for them to correct after so many widely known issues.

Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reported@SWATZ911 @eBay I’m an optimist so I think it’s probably genuine USPS issues. But I’m also a data guy so the data supports increased scamming.
-
Brandon A. (@ThePeachNehi) reported@Nasdorachi This was a huge issue within the Fighting Game Community, with crossover games like Marvel vs Capcom. At one time, PS3s with MvC2 installed were going for $1000 on ebay, because it was the only way to play the game online.

KevinfromWyoming 🇺🇸 (@KevinWyoming2) reported@DaveKluge Good job! My USB/Aux port on my 2012 Toyota RAV4 went out, and the local shop quoted me $200 to fix it. I found the part online, bought it on Ebay - new - for $15 with free shipping. It took 2 minutes to replace with a YouTube how-to video.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEvery repricing tool screams every time a competitor blinks. That's not intelligence — it's noise. Built Stance to fix that. It watches your competitors 24/7 across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Google Shopping, adjusts your prices automatically, and speaks only when it matters:

Pepper Conchobhar 🇺🇲 (@PepperConch) reported@dlamini_sa2411 @Gigiof5momof2 @Oluchisxn I'm starting to think this is a good wife test. If your girl wants a $20,000 ring and a $60,000 wedding, she's not wife material. I got my rings off Amazon. About $100 each for two. I've got some fancy costume jewelry off Ebay that other women have swooned over. I tell them every time that I chose the $20 ring off ebay and a new track saw and remind young women about priorities. Money is finite and none of us are super rich. Put that money in a 401K or use it as a down payment on a car/house.

SWANNY 🔺 (@swandogs) reportedFollowing up with some honest feedback about @trylastpack as I deposited some money and spent some time playing myself: Overall, pleasant experience, UI/UX is great on mobile + fast. I have not tried laptop/PC. PACK RIPPING EXPERIENCE Enjoyed the gamified experience, and the casino-like slot machine mechanic where cards roll onto various coloured cards before reveal. Each colour represents a different type of rarity. As for pull rates, I did ok - hit some nice cards; nothing amazing but some that will look nice in the binder. Sold back the + EV cards for more spins. Took me 78 packs to rinse $150, and I used the 1/5/10/25 dollar packs. Free packs for every 10 spins, instantly rewarded to your profile. Nice feature. DEPOSITS Easy to deposit money either fiat or crypto. There’s a wide range of crypto options available, one or the highest I have seen. Deposit was instant, I tried both SOL USDC & ETH USDC ON CHAIN VERIFICATION you can review your pulls, verify randomness etc. I took a look at this, and it’s probably the post transparent I’ve seen and true on chain. I have also seen this level of transparency on Your Grails, not sure about others. SHIP OR AUTO BUY BACK AFTER 5 DAYS Interesting (and smart) shipping mechanic to keep the flywheel going + mitigate stock issues. Encourages people to sell back, or ship within 5 days. This prevents stock and sourcing issues and items being held in wallets and not doing anything. (Screen shot on this post) SHIPPING “5 DAYS GLOBALLY” I don’t believe this is possible, as someone that spent 8 years in the transport & logistics industry. Happy to be proven wrong. Would recommend re wording. I personally am in regional Australia at the southernmost tip in mainland. Gonna claim and test it out. This is not a deal breaker SHIPPING COSTS Seem reasonable for now, for me to ship a couple of raw cards it’s $8 USD which is cheaper than doing the same from eBay. SUMMARY Overall whilst I did partner with them for a post, I wanted to share candid feedback as a user. I have done and will continue to do with multiple platforms (give feedback, support good teams, etc). There’s room in the space for everyone providing all is above board and I’m a huge fan of collaboration > competition. I definitely liked the experience, I’d like to see pull rates a bit more and more variety of cute cards in the pool (I’m an avid collector of cute raw. There’s some noise around the risks of “raw” cards and them not having stock on hand and also using stock images rather than the real thing so we know what we are getting. The site explains all are in the warehouse, so I am going to trust this, but would love some transparency surrounding quality of raw. I’ve not had experience in withdrawing or contacting the support yet, so cannot comment just yet. Will I use it again? Absolutely.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedCompetitors reprice 24/7. Most sellers can't keep up. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — an AI agent that monitors prices across Amazon, Walmart, eBay in real time and automatically adjusts your listings to stay competitive. Intelligent repricing, not just mechanical matches.

beetlejuicy🪲💦 (@tommyleeroy) reported@WallStreetApes As a capitalist I recommend dispensing all the contents of the vending machine and selling them on eBay for cheap. Go back and get more when they refil the machine. Infinite money glitch.
-
🇬🇧BlueControl🇬🇧 (@blue_control69) reported@RsGimble @SkyNews You are correct. As an eBay seller, a lot of my items are sent with evri and I haven't had an issue since I started 12 months ago. Back in their early days they were fairly unreliable, from my experiences they have turned that around.
-
BigWerms LLC - Tim (@bigwerms) reported@Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay ESE claims can be filed by the seller. Never had an issue getting money back on these scenarios.

Nazare Andrei (@NazareAndrei1) reported@RealMattCouch Wow, so many retards in this thread. You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to tell the officer if you have a gun. But i guess many of you bought your guns off ebay or craigslist or the chimps down the road, or from the 2-toothed hick that owns the derelict gun shop.

Feldspar (@greenjeopardy) reportedAgree. I’ve had issues with the eBay guaranteed shipping as well, turns out that the correct process is to refund immediately after the buyer says they didn’t get it and file a claim with a separate insurance company. If you don’t do eBay shipping labels you are out of luck even more. For me the authentication process for higher end cards and orderly process are worth the fees and frustration. Maybe I can find better luck on X but I’ve had a lot of bad/shady experiences off eBay. Unfortunately eBay has little incentive to help sellers either . Overall agree eBay should have better systems in place for these types of things. Feedback as well. Currently dealing with a negative feedback claiming failure to disclose holo scratches-listing has 14 close ups lol. I think it’s choose your pain unfortunately and I don’t see eBay doing anything more for sellers any time soon.

Orla (@orlasuture) reported@jklongwith @eBay the sound of ice in one of those old glass tumblers hits different thick clink, slow settle 🥃 they don't make them heavy like that anymore

Hillary Banks' Attorney (@Funzito) reported@muheediva01 The problem is we keep paying...I STILL don't have Hulu because **** them, when Facebook asked for a copy of my DL I said **** them ..found out Amazon got employees peeing in bottles I shop eBay...I don't play with my powerful dollars!!!

Betty Egg (@betty_egg) reported@Tecnoguy1 @ShowMeLaTweet You're talking about ONE game you hypothetically lost access to..... vs the literal actual thousands of games you DO have access to - precisely BECAUSE of digital. These sob stores about some game from 2007 don't work on me. People need to move on, OR they can go out of their way to buy a retro console and find a sale for the game on eBay - that's a YOU problem, and shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of consumers. I have more access to games I played as a child, like Super Mario Bros 3 or Ninja Gaiden for the NES - than I ever did when physical media was the only option.

🦈🐑🚂davidevans442-Undy 🏴🐑🇺🇦🐧 (@davidevans442) reported@not_airspeed Refuse to use them for anything I buy from eBay or elsewhere. Used to be Hermes, aka Herpes - just changed their name. Had stuff stolen and broken by them. No more.

Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reportedHere is a thought about security and mobile apps. Most apps we use are actually fixed web browsers (Ebay, Amazon, Facebook, X, Banking apps etc). These apps require a lot of permissions and have a lot of trackers. If we accessed those via bookmarks on a privacy focused mobile web browser like Brave or DuckDuckGo we would require fewer apps and we would have more control over what data was being shared with those companies. The only down side would be lack of notifications, but I think for many purposes this is a more secure way to use these services.

TDmoreEhhh (@TDMoreEhh) reported@BeeefSupreeme @CardPurchaser Holy **** they are already on my block list. @eBay looks like you have a real problem child on your hand here

George Broussard (@georgebsocial) reported100% terrible for consumers. Pay the same lose everything. No collectibility, no sell to eBay, no garage sale, no loan to friend, no long term preservation without piracy/hacking. Just awful.

elbrad0 (@elbrad0) reported@ryancohen I just spent the last 3 days trying to buy RAM on eBay. Was having problem after problem simply trying to give the company my money. Please buy eBay and sort them out.
-
HoboJ (@HoboJ_) reported@CardsMidnights @CardPurchaser I started selling cards on eBay. Haven't had any major problems yet. eBay requires the buyer to send the funds to them before you ship. When you ship you can select the shipping service (with money protection) if it gets damaged, lost, etc during transit.

Kevin Holland (@ou1989klh) reported@WaxMetrix I sent two cards sold on eBay to PSA auth by accident. eBay says it’s a PSA issue, PSA says it’s an eBay issue. Neither have been located or returned. eBay’s partnership with PSA for authentication is 100% *****.
