eBay app notifications of watched auctions ending soon, show up AFTER item has already sold.
This just started yesterday, 10/01/2023. Normally I get a push notification 15 minutes before an item I am watching is about to end. All of the sudden, I get a notification that it's "ending soon" (instead of "ending in 14 minutes"), but the auction has already ended! The notifications are showing up between 15 and 30 minutes after the item has already ended. Please fix this asap. This bug negates the entire reason for having the app. Yes, I have already reinstalled the app and restarted my phone.

OP3 years agoJust wanted to give an update for anyone else who runs into this issue. It's a weird "bug" involving the web browser on the phone and the eBay app. We figured out that the eBay app uses whatever web browser you have on your phone for certain functions. I use Brave, and when I went in to clear the cache and cookies, I noticed that I had 20 tabs open in Brave. Before I cleared any cache, I decided to close some of the tabs and bingo, as soon as I started closing the tabs the "auction ends in 14 minutes" notifications started showing up on my phone! I guess 20 tabs is one too many, and stops the eBay app from sending push notifications about items ending soon.
