Is eBay currently dead???

•So first of all obviously this virus has declined tons of sales for tons of ebayers. 
•Refunds are not working for TONS of people. (Helpful tip- If eBay won’t let you refund anyone, refund them through PayPal. It always works. You’ll still get the final value fee credit) 

• The search engine is down. If I try to search for something it takes awhile and sometimes crashes.

•Listings- When I try to list items it freezes and takes a long time to load up.

 


• Please stop selling toilet paper, don’t take advantage of people during this.

 

• As always stay safe everyone.

At least 5,000 record albums have sold in the past 24 hours. 

At least 750,000 record albums have sold in the last 90 days.

Re: Is eBay currently dead???

I feel like I must be the only one making sales or something and I don't sell Toilet paper or any of the other items people are price gouging on. My sales have been great, uploading fine, everything working fine on my end so I think this is a first...LOL... I seem to be the only one not having problems? Hope things get better for you.
BTW, I did message some of the price gougers, which I should not have since I honestly don't have time to waste, but I was so unbelievably annoyed people are doing this. Selling sheets of TP, or a 4 pack for $65 on auction and people still bidding on it!! I feel like what the hell is wrong with the people bidding on it when I seen many other normal priced toilet paper on here. Makes no sense. One person was selling one roll for .99 cents, but the shipping and handling is $25.00!! I messaged them and said "are you serious?" They actually messaged back and said they could charge whatever they what for shipping and handling and if I didn't want to buy from them buy from someone else. I replied that I had no intention of buying from them that I just thought they were full of it when the could send a 4 pack of TP for approximately $8 and thats priority mail. So instead of charging an outrageous price for the toilet paper itself, they decided to over charge on the shipping price. I know you can mail a 4 pack for around $8 priority or even send the ONE roll they were selling for same price priority mail. What a rip off!! I stopped looking at the toilet paper because I was getting mad, and for what? I am not buying any off ebay, I just looked because I seen so many postings on here about it and I couldn't believe it.

I made two sales today but the search has gotten a bit weird for me.  I see 100 items and then they all disappear except for maybe 5 listings.

If you are seeing only five or so search results, try clearing your browser cache.

 

I just encountered a similar post on the Technical Issues board -- see here for some things to try:

Re: Is eBay currently dead???

I noticed the search is off as well. I was looking something up earlier and said no results and then I did it again and there was 56 results. Strange.

Re: Is eBay currently dead???

It has been slow, but steady, until the last couple days for me.... I was wondering the same thing...continuing to stay positive, and keep working and listing items.. Business as usual for this site😏

I read somewhere that the sale of live cockroaches, spiders and pig masks were a little higher than normal.

I have seen a slump in sales due to site issues. Overall June was a good month thankfully.

Re: Is eBay currently dead???

I haven’t sold on EBay in 15 years, I just went back and it’s a waste of time and I can’t understand why EBay wants so many different payment options around PayPal 11/2020. I’m pulling my item and selling on Facebook
