    Update of eBay app

    I have used eBay for years and now it wants an update my phone won’t do 

    so do I just give up using eBay ? 
    why do apps do this, it’s all a collaborated club to get us to buy newer phones 

    marketplace on Facebook it is then from now on 

    cheers eBay

    @galaxybaitsltd If you're working on an outdated device that no longer supports current versions of the eBay app, you should be able to access eBay through a web browser on your phone/tablet.

    If links are automatically trying to open in the app, you can delete the app since it's no longer functioning, or change the settings in your browser preferences so links don't automatically open in the app.

    If you're on iOS 15, follow eBay's instructions from this post:

    https://community.ebay.com/t5/Mobile-Apps/App-will-not-update/m-p/34718836#M49148

    If your device has iOS 15 you should still be able to get a version of the app that will run on your device

    1. Delete your eBay app
    2. Go to the App Store, search for eBay
    3. When you download it you will see this alert, tapping download should allow you to get a version that will run on your device.

    Let's guess.

     

    You have an iPhone.

     

    This is something users of Apple Hardware have faced for many years.

     

    It is not a club, it is an Apple strategic practice.

     

    Less frequent on other manufacturer's hardware but they too are learning. There are many Apps which no longer run on old Android phones. There are phones which no longer run on many of the cell phone networks.
