eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• Jake (@TwinsJake) reported a minute ago

  @richmoycards I’m stupid. I didn’t put together both Twitter and eBay not working for a couple hours. I snuck my labels in right before the crash and just shrugged at nothing working while I was working.

• Angela DuBuc (@dubuc_angela) reported 3 minutes ago

  Friendly reminder: @eBay allows fake shippers like Aqualine and will not take down/restrict offending sellers. Not sure how they treat sellers but @Amazon does not allow scam carriers. 🤨

• Oliver Dangerclaws (@OliverDngerclws) reported 4 minutes ago

  @1True_American_ Really sad. I never use them. I think I have one sitting around, come get it. My instant pot, also never used, has a slow cook feature on it. Look on ebay?

• Zag (@leftyzag) reported 4 minutes ago

  @freddydoubles I'm a terrible influence of people here. Had @Grizz_wold firing off lowball ebay offers for Japanese Mizuno blades last night

• Ary Rosenbaum (@rosenbaumlaw) reported 5 minutes ago

  @darrenrovell I think it’s no glitch and the fact that there is little traffic. I have co-signed about 3k cards last year with Probstein. 200 current auctions and maybe 8-10 had bids, all minimum. On eBay, they all would have had bids.

  deep dive into embedded lending consumer embedded lending wins - BillMeLater started 2000, ebay bought for ~$1B in 2008, now paypal credit - only 2 embedded lending companies went public: affirm + afterpay, both consumer - zero embedded SMB lenders have gone public despite bigger market - embedded payments crushed it in SMB, embedded lending didn’t - why? consumer conversion funnel - 10,000 purchasers → 100 loan applications → 50 approvals → 25 conversions - conversion rate only 0.25% but massive ecommerce volume makes it work - purchase completed in same session, huge advantage - affirm $20.2B originations 2023, klarna $98B GMV, afterpay $27.3B - combined ~$150B in 2023, worth $25B+ market cap even post-crash - this is just one product line (closed-end unsecured consumer credit) - add credit cards + auto loans = hundreds of billions more key difference from direct lending - direct lenders (lending club) burn cash on CAC through marketing - embedded lenders partner with merchants, $0 variable CAC - oldest form: getting auto loan at dealership, dealer shows you options SMB embedded lending hasn’t succeeded in a big way - captive lenders bigger than third party (shopify capital, stripe capital, square capital) - few new players: parafin ($94M raised), kanmon ($9.2M), slope ($78M) - pipe hit $2B valuation in 2021, now fraction of peak - no standalone $1B+ embedded SMB lending companies exist SMB product types - merchant cash advance: pay % of future sales until paid - invoice factoring: sell unpaid invoices at discount - loans (secured/unsecured): monthly installments - lines of credit: revolving, working capital - non-bank lenders focus on MCA + factoring - banks focus on loans + LOC issues with SMB origination - toast capital: $1B annualized originations 2024 - square capital: $4.78B loans 2023 - shopify: $719M outstanding receivables end of 2023 - stripe processes $1T payments/year but lending still not massive - total top 3 SMB: ~$6B vs consumer top 3: $150B - 25x difference despite SMB lending market arguably bigger why SMB doesn’t scale - consumers = one market, universal underwriting (credit score + income) - SMBs = many smaller markets, construction ≠ restaurants ≠ ecommerce ≠ accounting - different operational structures, income sources, margins, seasonality - specific tools exist for each vertical (toast for restaurants, stripe for ecommerce) - underwriting for construction doesn’t work for ecommerce - infrastructure doesn’t transfer cross-vertical, natural limiting factor the vertical trap - companies start focused on one vertical to get wedge (necessary) - then expand wedge, move upmarket, add robust functionality - but expanding to other verticals = building new software almost from scratch - lending stays sub-scale if launch vertical isn’t big market - competitive forces prevent building great second product - SMB can only grow as fast as software adoption in that vertical - picking big market more critical for SMB than consumer consumer credit spectrum advantage - each FICO score point = billion dollar market in consumer - sofi not big in subprime, capital one not big in super prime - tricky to move across spectrums but each spectrum huge - SMB doesn’t have this - stuck in verticals the eventual outcome - biggest software companies in any vertical become captive lenders - shopify, stripe, square, toast all followed this path - but still tiny compared to consumer volumes AI as potential unlock - AI can manage complexity of underwriting different business types - business lending has less oversight than consumer - don’t need to explain models to regulators like consumer lending - extensive operational automation needed in business lending - AI could bypass vertical-specific infrastructure problem - build models handling heterogeneous businesses in one platform

  i can’t use eBay to find cool little tarkov trinkets & memorabilia because of all these ******* chud losers selling their EOD accounts @nikgeneburn pls fix

• Ncane1.eth (@VanDwnByDaRivr) reported 9 minutes ago

  @CardPurchaser @Chop_Life_4theA That’s our biggest problem. We need to as individuals be able to list our cards without eBay fees and even consignment fees on top of that. Simplified website development service like Etsy but for cards.

  @eBay Why aren’t my saved searches loading in your app? I’m on Day 3 of this issue.

• DAutino (@AutinoD) reported 10 minutes ago

  @BradleyGloves If times are tough, also can go on eBay and get a used glove that was expensive originally , nice and broken in

• motorchris (@motorchris1) reported 13 minutes ago

  @rob_aye Well at least the tLile app works for you, I have been in hell, trying to get my eBay account to work with it. I spent 3 hours between t mobile and money getting it to work the first time only to find it is broken again and I am in another 2+ hours trying to get it fixed again=

• Superfractor Girl Dad (@Lucky_____Me) reported 15 minutes ago

  @Mr_Sandlot My problem is going on eBay to just “browse” and “watch” auctions. Then, next thing I know I have pulled the trigger on a BIN and a last second snipe an auction or two. Sometimes I have just thrown a last second bid in for 💩 and giggles. 🤭

  @TheJonnyVilla @NoetekCo @JunkWaxTwins They began rolling out the ESE right after I left so I have no clue what that process is like, the regular eBay format was fine, wonder why that is terrible
