How to turn off eBay Live notifications

[wastingtime101]

People frequently ask how to turn off eBay Live push notifications, so I'm posting screenshots showing where to find that setting.

My eBay > Settings > Notifications > Shopping Updates > eBay Live

“For iOS users”, Toggling off eBay Live under Shopping Updates in Notifications by itself doesn’t stop the Live Auction/Breakers Notifications whatsoever; but by toggling off General Promtotions under Recommendations & Rewards as well ~ seems to resolve the issue. Hope that helps other iOS users who may be experiencing the Live Auction spamming issue. Best Regards…

This is ALSO true for this Android user.  🙂

It recurs with frequency because APP rhymes with CRAP. And resembles it.

I uninstalled then reinstalled and still do not have all of the available options shown in the above screenshots.

I uninstalled then reinstalled the app twice, and still do not have all of the menu items shown in the above screenshots.  FYI, I'm running the latest Google Pixel.

Furthermore, my phone performs Auto updates frequently, and the eBay app is set to auto update, but who knows what that does. 

Finally, shake the phone?  Yeah, right.  Also, there is no ability to connect directly to anyone at eBay to get help.  When you go through the help menus you get to a point that says 'Chat with our automated system' or 'Help yourself'.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to get to a human, which says a lot about eBay and just how much they value their customers.

Uninstalling eBay totally will solve a great many problems, and prevent me from buying crap that I don't need anyway.  That seems like the best solution of all.

My screenshot is from iOS - maybe someone else can share a screenshot of Android settings - they may differ.

I don't know what this means:

eBay actively monitors the reports that come in from the shake function and I've seen countless tech errors fixed that way.

You do have the option of turning off notifications. That's another way to get eBay to realize they are sending too many.

Sent in a technical report using the shake method thanks to your comment. Hopefully something comes of it. I've had my entire notification settings greyed out for a while now (on Android). Disabling all eBay push notifications in my phone settings and then re-enabling didn't solve it. 

Fingers crossed this works because I am very close to uninstalling/removing push notifications altogether. They send far too many live event notifications, especially considering they are turned on by default without my opting in. Poor marketing on their part.

This worked, thanks. 

Simple uninstall and reinstall came back with the latest options to turn off all notifications or check specific ones.

Same here! So frustrating! Honestly Ebay in last 20 years has plummeted!!

[fort*mcclellan*female*soldier]

As a persnickety Virgo, I have to say this is just ludicrous on the partnof ebay. They need to be able to take reasonability on their end for their little devious actions.

i cannot get ebay live streaming off of my page. I am getting mad. Ebay wants to make more money by have ebay live on and running all day, while the sellers that have been on for years cannot shut it off. They are doing it on purpose. i think they are going to go with ebay live and cut out the other sellers. It's time to find another auction site and leave ebay. They are hurting us, with cheap items.

[uniquetreasures202]

They are doing it on purpose. Keep on calling them . Ebay is ruining our selling items. They will not shut it off, they are making more money with them.

[uniquetreasures202]

Do you lose all your items

Have you tried some basic troubleshooting @uniquetreasures202 , like deleting the app, then rebooting your phone, then doing a clean install of the app?

I haven't (yet) seen anybody else report an inability to turn off the live stream so it may be an issue on your phone that can be cleared with a clean install.

[uniquetreasures202]

Will i use all my 100 items on ebay. I have it also on my laptop

[wastingtime101]

I'm not sure what you're asking. If "use" is a typo and you meant to say "lose" then the answer is no. You will not lose anything by deleting the app and performing a clean install.
