    eBay customers - For sometime messages and emails are taking 24 hours plus to get through and sometimes NOT AT ALL. Its a known issue with eBay (for many sellers) . If you do contact us through eBay and we haven't got back please drop us a message Text, WhatsApp or FB Messenger.

    @JasonCvancara So, I just had this exact same conversation w/ someone on a FB messenger! Its Vax, mask & social distance. Never, eat right, get reg excercise, drink water, take vitamins, choose foods high in antioxidants. & never discuss meds that help boost immune systems.

    i think the worst thing about facebook messenger is that when someone calls you mid voicenote it makes you start over and this is why i have anger problems

  • JDB_219 JDB (@JDB_219) reported

    @JackMurphyRGR It's annoying that so many things are app based. I had to download an app to pay for parking to go hiking last fall. I've even some across companies where their customer service chat is Facebook messenger.

  • jamjoshuataylor rolyat hsoj (@jamjoshuataylor) reported

    okay apparently when you send 🥰 on fb messenger it explodes a bunch of them all over the screen. no. calm down. that’s a bit too aggressive.

  • Boydenboyely ASTR0Ezy 💯🏎💨 (@Boydenboyely) reported

    Hey @Apple it’s crazy to me how broken your FaceTime app became now front camera on my 12 pro is laggy mind you my phone isn’t heated or anything can you explain? Because Instagram video chat runs smooth and Facebook messenger video chat is clean I’m confused?

  • sturgesandrew Andrew Sturges (@sturgesandrew) reported

    @Aramex how do you get a hold of customer service in Australia, I have tried Whats app QR code not valid, tried facebook messenger no reply. I hope I get an answer before my package arrives

  • TheLovingPastor The Loving Pastor (PUBLIC FIGURE)™️©️®️ (@TheLovingPastor) reported

    EChurch members and Online Campus members please remember this Sunday is “Stick With The Stream” Sunday. We are challenging you to actually watch the entire service live! No Amazon glances, no texting, no fb messenger replies. Let God have his way in the virtual church!!

  • Solar___Jetman Chris Maddocks (@Solar___Jetman) reported

    @TalkmobileUK Ok, but could my SIM be having issues. I can't open FB messenger on data, only WiFi and sometimes the calls go silent even on perfect signal

  • WetCoastLiving Catherine 🇨🇦 (@WetCoastLiving) reported

    @Fidomobile your service is down AGAIN. Last time i had to be told my grandfather was dying over FB messenger. This is unacceptable for this to be continuing to happen.

  • jeralduy Jerald Uy (@jeralduy) reported

    I was communicating with a courier service about Paymongo via FB Messenger. And then the Paymongo ads start appearing on my feed.

    I certainly don't recommend @dhlexpressuk they have not called me. Just emailed and fb messenger. Poor customer service. Tried to send a parcel abroad and the shipment number they sent is not valid. Asked for a refund and they have taken ages to refund me. I've emailed no reply.

  • tuttsepopjones tuttsepopjones (@tuttsepopjones) reported

  • DRiley017 David Riley (@DRiley017) reported
