App not working - update required

Just tried opening the app on my android phone and get the message "this version is no longer supported. Please update to the latest version".  Pressing the "update" goes to Google play but the only options are "Uninstall" or "Open" - no option to update. Pressing "Cancel" closes the app.

 

I suspect they pushed a new version of the app to deal with the changes introduced overnight but something has gone wrong somewhere.

 

Anyone else got this issue?

Re: App not working - update required

I think I may have a solution to this problem.

If you’re buying or selling on eBay, you will no doubt get emails from them containing a link to the item you’re buying or selling.

 

When you do get an email with the link to your item, click on the item link and it will take you to your item.

As the eBay page opens, you will see the annoying message, ‘Update Required’

DO NOT click ‘EXIT’ button within the ‘Update’ box, but simply go back to your email message and click the same item link and you should be taken to your eBay item minus the ‘Update Required’ message.

It’s not a permanent fix, but it should give you access to the app.

 

Good luck !

Tried it, didn't work unfortunately. My phone is One Plus android version
12, play store says my phone isn't compatible as it's a Google Plus 6 phone
which is absolute rubbish.

No longer selling or buying on ebay. Closing my account which apparently takes 60 days. Nightmare

Re: App not working - update required

Same, wanted to claim my first time discount and could not use the app, says I need to update. Try to update and it tells me not compatible with my device.

 

It's an Android 9 phone, dated but I have no intention or need to replace it.

 

Never mind I guess.

Re: App not working - update required

I have this issue too, for ebay and You tube. It simply means get  about   €1,200,  for a good smartphone and  go  get yourself another one.  It's making more money,that's all  what we care about. Stiff luck to you.

Firstly it's not Ebay.co.uk is not as convenient as the mobile app no 1
2/ when I listed 2 new items at the weekend goodness what a performance one
was for collection only the first photo downloaded you would assume to be
the main photo .. no opposite way round three times.
3/ listing item 2 suggested I chose 4 different postage options 🤣 *bleep*
and could I find postage cost absolutely not in the end out of sheer
frustration I listed collection only.
What the hell is Ebay up to maybe the don't require sellers atm and as for
viewing items to purchase I found it really unappealing.
So the moral to my story is swerve Ebay!!
