Hi folks, l’m the new guy in town… Since one week I’m the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 5e Wi-Fi, running iodè OS. Everything works fine so far, the device is fast and responds snappy. 😁 But there’s one problem I have: I can’t use the ebay app. 🫤 Everytime I try to log-in into my account I get an error message saying “a problem occured” with no further explanation. I looked up the internet and it seems to be a widely known issue. The ebay support was contacted several times by other users but the only advice from their side was/is to reinstall the app. Did not/does not help. So, I wonder, could this have something to do with the use of Custom ROMs(users, who got in contact wirh ebay have/had the problem with Google Android & iOS)? Does/did anyone else have the same problem? Does anyone have a hint/any advice for me? By the way, my native language is german, so if any german speaking member likes to answer “auf Deutsch”, feel free… 😁 Thanks in advance! Michael ---

As far as I know and if I remember correctly it is a safetynet problem. Not only on iode Only workaround is to use the Webinterface instead of the app ---

Seconded. This has been a problem for a while with all LineageOS-based custom ROMs. Just uninstall the app and use the web interface in your browser ---

Well, ok… 😡 So, then it’s no more ebay on the tablet. Thanks a lot, everybody! M. ---

Don’t you have a web browser on your tablet? Or is there a reason why Ebay via the browser doesn’t work for you? ---

Hey @petefoth, of course I have a web browser on my tablet, I’m using the “onboard” browser (iodé browser). But I find it more comfortable to use the app to access ebay. That’s the only reason I don’t want to use the detour via ebay’s web interface… M. ---

Hey. Frag mich nicht wie ich darauf gekommen bin, meine Lösung war eBay als Apk Datei runterzuladen. Dann mit der APP ‘ApkMirror Installer’ installieren. 3,2,1… 🙂 ---

Most shopping ads are full of spyware anyway. The Amazon one my partner has on her tablet is absolutely loaded with the stuff. I use the browser (Cromite), instead for all such purposes as it keeps it sandboxed so cannot interfere with any other background apps that may be running at the same time. ---

As a consequence of the recent changes to do with signature spoofing, it seems that the Ebay app now works again with v5.8 🙂 (at least on my unofficial build for lilac) ---

Did you uninstall the earlier version of the Ebay app. Which IodéOS build are you using, and which device? ---

@petefoth My hardware is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e (Wi-Fi) and I’m running the latest version of iodé. Yes, I did install the latest version of the ebay app, but no change to the former one… But everything’s ok, I’m fine with the situation as it is. Whenever I want to use ebay, I switch to my laptop. Oh, by the way: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! 🎆🎇🎉🎋 M. ---

Thanks for sharing information on this, I am experiencing the same issue with eBay on both my Fairphone4 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e. In Ireland, we use two other second-hand platforms, called Adverts.ie and Donedeal.ie. Neither of these work well on my iode devices. They crash in a smiliar way to eBay, when I search, or when a login is attempted. Would anybody know if this is also a ‘Safetynet’ problem? (Down the rabbit hole: Both of these are owned by a company called Distilled media, which in turn seems to be owned or parnered with Adevinta which seems to have every single second hand market place in Europe, Marktplaats, [Mobile.de](http://Mobile.de), [leboncoin.fr](http://leboncoin.fr), and dozens more?! All these apps no doubt have tons of trackers, so I assume few of them will work on iode?) Thanks and all the best, C ---

Had this problem on every MicroG ROM i’ve used over the past couple of years. So I think unless anyone knows otherwise it probably isn’t safety net or ad blocking since I generally run with a locked bootloader and I used to main lineageos w/microg until recently. The fix for me was to use eBay less
