UPDATE USELESS

Ebay Update supports IOS 13.4, yet my Apple iPhone IOS only goes up to 12.5.5. This means to continue using the EBay App, I have to spend ££’s I don’t have on a new phone that supports an IOS of 13.4 or higher?

 

 EBay were obviously aware 100’s and 1000’s of customers don’t have an IOS of 13.4 or above before releasing this update, rendering many to be forced to use various unsafe web browsers to continue using their site, yet they did it anyway!

 

This update was developed in full knowledge that many will be forced into purchasing new phones. There’s no reason to do this, other than monetary gain. Could  easily have developed this update to conform with the top 5 mobile IOS’s without issues, yet  they’ve basically told 100’s and 1000’s of long term loyal costumers to buy new phones, or get off their app. I now use Amazon instead. 

 

Unacceptable and disappointing.

UPDATE USELESS

Thanks for posting. The Ebay App has required iOS 13 or higher for the last year. You can still install 6.9.6 on iOS 12 or use the safari browser.

 

Here are steps from apple on how to install on an older OS.

 

iOS 12 - If your device is running iOS 12 you might be able to install an older version from the App Store 

  • Delete the ebay app from the device
  • Open the app store app
  • Tap account button
  • Tap Purchased
  • Scroll to the eBay app and tap the cloud and down arrow icon
