@eBay @AmericanExpress Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Customer Service & Payment Issues Dear eBay Customer Support, I am writing to express my frustration with eBay’s customer service support system and recent payment issues. First, reaching a live representative has been nearly impossible. The AI phone system disconnected me twice, and after finally finding another number, I was left on hold for over 20 minutes without any resolution. The lack of access to human support is unacceptable, especially when dealing with urgent issues. Second, I was shocked to discover that eBay no longer accepts American Express. Any company of eBay’s size that restricts widely used payment methods is not providing customers with the flexibility they deserve. I reluctantly used a MasterCard that I reserve for emergencies, only to later find out my payment was not processed. This failure caused unnecessary delays and left me without the item I urgently needed for a trip. Because of these issues—poor customer support access, restricted payment options, and unreliable payment processing—I have been forced to turn to other companies to complete my purchase. This experience has been deeply disappointing and undermines my confidence in eBay as a reliable platform.

There’s also a huge IP issue with this! Fun fact: eBay and Fanatics ban using their listings, images, or IP outside their platforms for commercial gain. If you’re screenshotting cards from those sites and pitching them as “prizes” in your own game, you’re violating their policies.

I've had a card I sold sitting at Ebay authentication since Sept. 8th. Is there really that much of a backlog? If not, what's the problem!

@air_aj11 @CardPurchaser Cards are shipping in pennys sleeves and card savers or top loaders in PWE envelopes everyday. I shipped some out today and also received a card a bought today shipped that way. They will be fine. In the rare issue they are damaged is you are using eBay standard envelope they are insured so it’s covered By scanned I mean they go through the postal machines and get scans along their route. Basically your proof you shipped it. The larger rigid envelopes often don’t get scanned. I had more problems with no scans on non delivery claims when I used them.

@switchstock Giving human customers (like me) an error 17 at checkout, just so I can lose out to people already selling this on eBay, is not “as good as a sign as anything”

@BrewhouseInc @CardPurchaser This must have been Minnesota It should only apply to transactions OVER $100 (before sales tax) You might have a legit issue to bring up with eBay, I think it doesn't apply here.

@Troydan This is a dream birthday gift in 2025. The further we get from this tech the harder it’s gonna be to find a crt tv that isn’t broken. I really want one of those 16x9 Sony CRT monitors that go for $10,000 on eBay lol

@mistercrisdafur @eBay Same thing with buyers canceling their orders when something drops in price. eBay needs a fix for both sides of the coin.

@hfdaggie @CardPurchaser What is chitchat? Seller has to take it up with the carrier. Report it was not delivered. Problem is if it shows delivered eBay may side with the seller and you might have to work with eBay to get a refund from them.

@steve45220 It's not hard to find parts, just slow. Ebay and a few other sites are reliable.

eBay Authentication has been absolutely AWFUL the past 3 months. There has been delays, confusion, and some very questionable situations. Some of my buyers are confused as well... I'm in the middle of an issue that is 100% on them and they are trying to pass the blame.

3/6 Here’s why buying a vending machine on eBay can be risky: - Many machines come from unreliable sellers. - Extremely low prices often indicate poor condition or hidden damage. - Without reviewing seller feedback, you’re at risk of buying a problem.

Is eBay blocking views on listings if they aren’t promoted? I’ve been pretty consistent with sales since joining in 2023 but these last couple months have been a totally different story. I never promote listings and would get views no problem now I can’t even get views promoted

Imagine shopping on a discount site, only to get ripped off by a seller. When you dispute the issue, the site sides with the seller and refuses to compensate you. Just buy from eBay sellers there is Real buyer a seller protection. Whatnot is a joke!

@kjngamer @lightheaven_x So why still ***** about Xbox while your “fan favourite” platform treats terrible to its players. Please try to contradict this because i will back it up with evidence how PS CSR department steals valuable accounts and sells them on eBay or asks ransom from its owners.

@frank_lubatti @Yasharkbos He’s debuting right now. Price will either be well higher in 2 hours or lower and I’ll adjust. Not sure where the hostility is coming from. If one did 120 on eBay and I’m offering 135 shipped all in we’re talking a few bucks. Not sure why everyone wants to cause issues. If you don’t want it don’t buy it. I’ve made a bunch of sales to people and usually send extras worth like 20% of the order as many can attest.

@eBay @AskeBay @ebaytech Why am I getting discount alerts for items I haven't even "watched"? Alerts are being spammed with all kinds of crap, which is a problem because, as a seller, I use alerts to tell me when something sells. Why are you determined to make everything suck??

@TCGPokePlug But is there a way for eBay to prove they’re lying? As suspicious as it is, innocent until proven guilty. But I get the frustration The best solution I can think of is strikes/warnings for sellers that have multiple cancelations/refunds due to “shipping issues” in a short period

@integratedang @Ruesavatar It’s a garnet dyed button down Collared shirt. I’d use those key words to look. J Crew sells garnet dyed shirts sometimes, but eBay would have something 100%.

Apparently people used to buy broken unlocked iPhones on eBay and used them for upgrades which is why companies are not buying them anymore. I hate when people are smarter than me.

@Etsy #Picstoral I spent 1 & 1/2 hrs setting up my acct. & trying to list an item only for the screen to jump back to the home page. Was I not fast enough for you? Too bad if I wasn't. I have health problems that makes me take a long time to complete tasks. I'm going to eBay.
