Workaround for app access on iPhones

[gavinfdavies]

A user called @2paranoid recently posted a work around to access the app on older iPhones limited to ios15. I tested it today 6th of February, and it worked. Well done you legend! 

1: Open the app so the pop-up displays.

2: Open a browser and log in to eBay.

3: At the top of your browser window, you should see a banner saying ‘eBay: buying and selling online, open in the eBay app’, with a blue ‘open’ button.

4: Click the button and you will be swapped over from browser to app, and the pop-up will disappear. The app will now be fully functional.

This workaround still works as of 9th Feb, I've bought items and left feedback using it. 

It the banner doesn't appear right away, after logging into eBay uk via your phone browser, you might need to click on the little human icon for my eBay, that usually makes it appear. Good luck.
