    And now it will allow us tagging again. When I used to use eBay that would be called a glitch. I don’t use eBay anymore.

  • denden6674 Denden (@denden6674) reported

    @HollyStahly @kelammo @trendysalestore I purchased something from a Chinese seller on eBay and the shelf for £25. It never got delivered, I appealed to PayPal. They took the side of the seller claiming that my item was delivered on the 31st of December Thru Hermes but the code was unidentified. PayPal let me down

  • AnotherHowie AnotherHowie (@AnotherHowie) reported

    @impatienceisav1 @kwuchu Ebay rebooted their entire site every Friday (several hours down) until at least 2000 or so...

  • PiquedIn AlexLLL (@PiquedIn) reported

    @ModsVsMods @CityNewsTO Hey now, by doing this hes freeing up the average household maybe about $195 a year to help pay for overpriced childrens Motrin on eBay! He says hes for the people, and delivers on that promise (to developers only, but im sure it will trickle down to healthcare right?)

  • retro_goodies Retro Goodies ft Quest Magazine (@retro_goodies) reported

    @ThomasGray1981 @LizWride ... trying to get hold of some of the missing issues of the classic 16-bit computer mags - ST Action is missing a few for instance, so if I can find something on eBay I'll pick those up and crack on. That said, if I see something exciting in good nick I'll buy it and scan it.

  • HushamMemar Husham Memar (@HushamMemar) reported

    @Klarna is worst than eBay and PayPal when you report a problem to the. Because they simply have no care or even a customer support system. I have no idea why do we use them and how ******** did they get so popular.

  • Captain_PUGWA5H Captain PUGWA5H 🏴‍☠️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (PARODY) (@Captain_PUGWA5H) reported

    They knew my address, my email address, the last 4 digits of the card associated with the PayPal account, even the last transactions on the eBay account and card were even sending me emails and texts all with what looked like correct PayPal credentials Now I'm a credit card down

  • Mummsyandzomb Graham Alan Hughes Author (@Mummsyandzomb) reported

    @RecordsLess @eBay @AskeBay Having issues with eBay messaging myself. Every app update makes things worse

  • knutsfordchap Richard (@knutsfordchap) reported

    @AskeBay Thanks to eBay's Packlink service not working, I have lost money shipping an item I sold. Really frustrating - especially when customer services "thank" you for 14 years' membership, then do nothing.

  • Corey_WolfPack Corey Van **** 🥽 (@Corey_WolfPack) reported

    @chapmanjosh @SteeleWars You could probably snag one for a decent price on eBay, these were pretty hard to get at first but they’ve gone down in value since

  • boomgames1974 David Johnson (@boomgames1974) reported

    @NatashaCL7 I actually have days where i just stay home in order to avoid spending money. Unfortunately ebay can be a problem with this...

  • saelantwerdy Minor Canon (@saelantwerdy) reported

    @bradcasey4evr Fwiw, I don't think Zara in any way makes a "good" coat. If you want something actually warm but not $$$, Uniqlo down is great. Or vintage Sierra Designs, North Face, or Eddie Bauer on eBay.

  • grahamhopper grahamhopper 3.5% (@grahamhopper) reported

    @elmas_artt @Parcel2Go yes. Trying to relink my ebay account and this is the message I get before I even pick the account I want to link. Got here because the existing account wasn't downloading so maybe something more going on. To be honest I am having more and more problems with the site recently.

  • COFightsBack 🇺🇸Joe Colorado 🇺🇦 (@COFightsBack) reported

    And now it will allow untagging again. When I used to use eBay that would be called a glitch. I don’t use eBay anymore.

  • DArkMEATHOOK 🌯 X9 ❌❌❌🌯X2 (@DArkMEATHOOK) reported

    @jesserker I hate it when people say that. Like when I worked at a UPS Store, this dude sold something on eBay without getting a shipping estimate and of course cost of a box and shipping was more than what he sold it and he said “I would never shop here again”. This issue was 100% caused

  • Commoninsense 🌱Garden Jean 🌳🌹🌿🌻🐕 (@Commoninsense) reported from Eltham, England

    Last year I bought some Hunter waterproof slip on ankle boots. (£95) Should have known better, I have a high instep, it takes ages to put them on, usually with a broken nail or 2. Worn 4 times. My heart sinks at the thought of ebay. Can't see FB marketplace being right place. 1/2

  • NettyF65 Jeanette ✝️ Doula and birthkeeper (@NettyF65) reported

    @LynneDMNoble1 Ah ok. The other option would be to sell it as a pdf download, then could be printed? It would keep down costs your side and people can choose to print or not? I’m not sure you can get that option with Kindle, etc? I know people sell book pdfs on EBay.

  • goodraboy Goodraboy 🍥 🔜 Midwest FurFest (@goodraboy) reported

    @TomQuinn8 Refurbished toughbooks are incredibly cheap on EBay. Might have slow hard drives but you can replace them

  • ghutson Graham Hutson (@ghutson) reported

    @AskeBay On Ebay's advice I'm trying to ship my order with Ebay delivery but everytime I click through I get a 502 Bad Gateway error message ...

  • Yorkshiregirl_m MF (@Yorkshiregirl_m) reported

    @TwitterSupport Hi could you please help. Why my message to ebay Failed to send but no problem in sending to any other accounts? Thank you.

  • JohnHuckle8 John Huckle (@JohnHuckle8) reported

    @eBay_UK why has my biometric sign in stopped working, I cant get into my eBay account now.....can you help

  • scottyfalcs Scott Falconer (@scottyfalcs) reported

    @_Tez_1 @TheGeeksHandbag @DWMtweets There is a growing list mostly in Scotland that did not get a delivery this month. Distribution issues are the problem. I home some can acknowledge it today and let fans pay rip off prices on eBay.

    @eBay_UK I’m trying to print a label with eBay delivery and keep getting an error message saying bad gateway. Help please!

  • rem THAT @REM SHOW (@rem) reported

    I was genuinely worried that my Gameboy refurb gift to the speakers of #ffconf 2022 would go down like a lead balloon. Along the lines of "what on earth is this - EBAY!". I even wrapped it (poorly) in a bit of paper explaining what on earth I was thinking!

  • Kd7qkPaul Paul Kurimsky 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇸🇰📡🛰 #NAFO (@Kd7qkPaul) reported

    @Antiproton_com @eBay After checking out the power supply, the tube lit up, no output. They were told it had a warped bore. They were wrong. The mirrors were far out of alignment. They should have known better! I used a HeNe down the bore and adjusted one of the mirrors until I got …

  • MaySpinel SpinelSunMay (@MaySpinel) reported

    @mashermack I am sorry I did not see your reply. I dont think that my order number will help since I bought it as 2nd hand from ebay. For arrow keys, the modification helps but I still not familiar with it. The problem is that you need to hold or click on MOD switch to use arrow keys.

    In the mood to buy some weird **** off eBay 👀 Send a couple hundred while I go down the rabbit hole

  • LivsFoster Olivia Foster (@LivsFoster) reported

    The year is 2022 and it's impossible to imagine how we'll ever fix the world when there are still people who bid for eBay items before the last 30 seconds

    @Vveelet no ebay took it down 💔💔
