Yes, it is hard to offer sympathy or understanding if you don't even know what happened. The possibilities are endless and not always Ebay's fault.
My bad Customer Experience is well documented here.
Not sure what happened to the OP, but the narrative of the post is trending more and more ... and eBay needs to reverse this trend soon.
So ya don't buy, don't sell, but feel you have enough "wisdom" to share with those who do.... alrighty then
I have friends and family that sell and I've purchased over 1000 items in an 8+ year span as a Buyer (up until early 2019). I was also invited to eBay Headquarters last year to meet the Leadership Team, to provide feedback to help improve eBay.
So yes, I feel that I have enough "wisdom" to share with my fellow eBay Members.

I've been an eBay member since 2010. Whatever flooded the Boards over the years, I wasn't reading, as I was happily buying for many years until 2019. 2019 is very different year, and the year I joined Community Boards. It's also the year that eBay has been flooded by Technical Issues, Glitches and Customer Concerns.
Since your are relatively new to the boards I can tell you it has always been here for complaints. Rarely does someone come here that has no complaints. The boards consist of a fraction of 1% of the Ebay population.
Actually less than 1% as we have about 6.7 US sellers and I don't know how many of the reported 180 million active buyers are US based. Then there are those international members that come to the US site as well. At this moment there are just under 7,000 members logged into the threads. That certainly doesn't mean they are all posting, but they are hear reading and surfing or whatever it is they are doing if not posting.
6.7 US sellers?? Did we lose them all when Wenig resigned? 
I know you probably meant to say 6.7 Million. 
Don't forget ... the number of Board Members logged-in at any given time is not the number to use. It's the number of Community Board Members who have posted over a period of time (i.e. 1 year, if you're using the 2017 US Sellers number of 6.7 Million).

If that is the number you want to use, I have no idea how you will find it, but it would be FAR less than 7,000 ish. FAR FAR less.

eBay should have this number. Maybe someday they'll let us know?
