eBay Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HauntedDriveIn The Haunted Drive-in (@HauntedDriveIn) reported

    @ShawnRobare @VaguelySquare @crookedninja The flippers are the real problem. Even when I do see something I’d love to have, it’s already in the hands of a person who’s checking the going rate on eBay. Went to one of those GWs where it’s all I sorted and you just sift through bins. A flipper had grabbed a 1970s LEGO kit.

  • CeruseArtist Chris B - shooting the breeze with good coffee. (@CeruseArtist) reported

    I have no wish to deal with a company that spends its life taking money off sellers but hides from the very people they benefit from, behind a wall of cheaply paid call centre staff in foreign countries not paid to have any discretion, just to wear you down. @eBay @eBay_UK

  • JenBur86 Jennifer Thomas (@JenBur86) reported from Risca, Wales

    @eBay_UK There's lots of people in the same boat, it's clearly an ebay wide issue. Can you make an announcement to let us know whats happening. We earn alot of money for you, it's the least you could do. Honesty is the best policy!

  • abigregory Abi Gregory (@abigregory) reported

    @mrpaulnixon If you've not been presented with one yet i think it'll be ebay or Argos at this rate i reckon....or head down the antiques market...

  • MichaelMannai Michael (@MichaelMannai) reported

  • ChangoChan09 Jessica Chan (@ChangoChan09) reported

    Outrageous behaviour! eBay shut down my accounts with no explanations...my livelihood ended. So upsetting.

  • chino1982 luis rodriguez 🧢 (@chino1982) reported

    @Backy20 Bought them@off eBay but now need the money and eBay won’t allow HRO sales on there site. They take everything down. It’s all still sealed

  • PureFromH Pure (@PureFromH) reported

    @LSValue Well ebay adyen system had broken so lol

  • ilovefluffy Andrew Willis 🇺🇦 (@ilovefluffy) reported

    Is eBay just broken? @AskeBay I can’t update my bank details because when I try to put the two small transaction amounts in it brings me to the password page over and over again and now I can’t receive any of the money for items I have sold.

  • Adrian95403242 Adrian (@Adrian95403242) reported

    @AskeBay When is the payments issue going to be resolved. Why dont you communicate this. I have two accounts with 2 and the problem is on both. This is an ebay BUG. Will ebay compensate us for this poor service...how about no fees for as long as the outage remains

  • Glass__Moon 🌺Chelle💫🦜 (@Glass__Moon) reported

    @squiggy__ Lmao oh God how is that so funny lol.. they’re nice but some are so pricy Beware eBay drop shoppers. They don’t have the cell but sell it at a higher price than the legit seller. For ex scroll down a ways snd you’ll see dupe cells with diff prices. Orig is prob on y auctions

  • lockatron Andy (Wallie) Wall (@lockatron) reported

    @AskeBay @TBAccts Technical issues are due to human incompetence. There is a lot of it going on at eBay right now! Disgusting service, disgusting company. eBay have gone downhill, big time.

  • Joe_Sheerin_82 Joseph Sheerin (@Joe_Sheerin_82) reported

    @Daniell75458142 @AskeBay I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. The start of Covid was the funniest. Advertising 1 and 2 day delivery when stuff was taking a month to be delivered. Absolute carnage, but that's ok, because eBay says it'll be here in 2 days 🕺💃

  • videorunaway videorunaway (@videorunaway) reported

    @KingNarukami45 That's a shame, I do want to own these games physically so I hope these digital releases make the original releases go down in price cause some of those ebay prices are ROUGH😭

  • thedave9081 ContradictoryCrow (@thedave9081) reported

    @danielbirch1986 @eBay @AskeBay I have not received payouts for October 2021 through December 2021 due to a similar "bug" and it has yet to be resolved. They were able to bill my bank during this time while blaming my bank for the problem.

  • roroweber1 roroweber1 (@roroweber1) reported

    Another story… We won an auction on a high end raw card not long ago which failed eBay’s authentication. Seller then sells card to a card shop which in turn gets the card graded w/out fraud issue who then flips card for multiple times our failed winning bid. Makes you go 🤔

  • MichaelMannai Michael (@MichaelMannai) reported

    @eBay I can sign in. I'm restricted from updating my info, buying, selling and communicating.

  • NickQuade Nick Quade (@NickQuade) reported

    @ChrisClennan @ValueAddedRS @eBay something is going on. across the board. everything is down.

  • carbootboy UK-raine Olly (@carbootboy) reported

    @AskeBay when are you sorting out the payment to sellers problems? I haven’t received a payment from eBay for two days now. Not good enough. Bring back @PayPal

  • Adrian95403242 Adrian (@Adrian95403242) reported

    @ADRIAN982 @AskeBay No ebay payments today or yesterday. Appears to be a BUG with ebay. I called them but they did not confirm there was a system wide issue. They must know this but fail to communicate this. Not sure when its going to be fixed either....day two no payments.

  • MinistryOfGeeks Ministry Of Geeks (@MinistryOfGeeks) reported

    Hey @eBay I have a problem!

  • thedave9081 ContradictoryCrow (@thedave9081) reported

    @eBay_UK @Bekis_Beads Suspended me for three months so I couldn't call to resolve the issue. The issue is to date still unresolved and ebay has become unresponsive.

  • NotGonSmithe NotGonSmithe (@NotGonSmithe) reported

    @njboy4L Because there is literally no risk for me. People sell **** acquired in shady means just to get rid of it all the time on eBay, and if I'm guaranteed to get my money back if it's fake; I have no problem biting that bullet, I live right near a post office to send it back lol

  • BryanLoVarco Bryan Lovarco (@BryanLoVarco) reported

    Another scam in crypto people are doing is the will buy Ledger cold wallet, open it up jot down the key, then resell this on eBay or Amazon. You buy it and one day your crypto is stolen because another person also has the key. Only buy such a ledger from website or risk theft

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

    @TBAccts eBay will not be compensating for this issue as we do not offer compensation for technical issues I'm afraid. We hope to have this resolved soon it quite a high priority as you can imagine. I'm so sorry about this, Take care! ~Pamela

  • maxoptical John Norman (@maxoptical) reported

    @ValueAddedRS It is now 6/15/22, eBay has acknowledged the issue but has not provided any solution.
