When does the 'year to date' total shown on the app reset?Currently mine stands at £1704 however some of this was made AFTER April 6th this year and about half of it in 2024.
My phone just auto updated the app this morning. The new app update is absolutely terrible to navigate in drafts. Also, I think private sellers can no longer promote their items as of this morning via the app update. Not happy today
Hi, When listing an item through the app, the option to add a custom SKU is no longer available. This was a very useful feature for me. Is there a wayof getting it back e.g something in my settings or how to I reach ebay to suggest if it could be ret...

The option for custom postage has gone from the eBay app you can select if you go in eBay from browser, but not on the app I use the app all the time and can’t see why eBay would remove the option off the app?
There's seemingly no way to message eBay directly to give them a bug report, so I'll report it on here.When sorting by Cheapest on my Android mobile app, it doesn't fully sort by cheapest, it'll throw in a few more expensive ones for some reason. Som...
Hi folks, Is anyone else being asked in the eBay app to verify their bank details? My funds are being with-held, despite me having the eBay account for 21yrs and my same bank for over a decade. They even moved funds into it on 4th March 2025, so it i...

Won’t be selling anymore items after the ones listed have been sold. The Buyer Protection Fee is BS and EBay are holding funds for items that have been delivered and feedback left by buyers. Shame, but here we are.
